From Software has become a beloved and well-known studio with the release of the Dark Souls series. Since then, many, including myself, are always anticipating what the studio has to offer. At E3 2018, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was formally revealed with a new trailer flaunting gameplay that is a vast departure from the combat people have come to know and l

Sadly, exactly dates were not provided. Watch Dogs Legion and its unique gameplay was originally slated to release March 6, 2020, but now it could release anytime between April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. While it seems likely that it will release in the earlier part of that fiscal year, an exact release date has not been confir

From a gameplay perspective, Ghost of Tsushima is a departure from the Infamous franchise. While those games were all about continuously moving around the battlefield, Ghost of Tsushima is more about studying enemy movement, parrying and attacking when finding an opening. Melee combat becomes more nuanced when fighting 1v1, as shown in the final fight with his fallen comrade, Masako. Sucker Punch commented that they’re pulling heavily from Japanese cinema like Yojimbo for the combat. Unfortunately, the HUD was turned making it difficult to determine how exactly the game plays. When confronted, Sucker Punch didn’t explicitly compare combat to any other game on the market but did admit it has elements similar to the Batman Arkham and Middle-earth games.

Fans of the Rainbow Six franchise may have been excited when Quarantine , a new 3-player co-op horror experience, was announced at E3 2019. Many even considered it one of the best horror games of E3 2019 , despite very little currently being known about the title. Its release date hadn't even been officially announced yet, but it was slated to release earlier in the year. Now, it also falls in the broad spectrum of any time between April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2

Shortly after rumors began to circulate online, The Last of Us 2 director Neil Druckmann came forth and announced the delay. Considering its February 21 release date was just announced last month, this may have left a bad taste in some mouths, but Druckmann promises that it will be worth the wait and explains that the team just needed more time to ensure that it hit "Naughty Dog Quality." The Last of Us 2 will now release on May 29, 2020, which is just a small three month w

Ghost of Tsushima beginner guide|https://Tsushimalegend.Com/ of Tsushima does share some DNA with Sly Cooper’s stealth sections. Jin can attack enemies outright or stalk them from the shadows and stealthily take them out. While this is out of character for a samurai, Sucker Punch did confirm that the narrative motivates the use of stealth. All of Jin’s samurai allies were killed fighting like samurai. To beat back the Mongols, Jin needs to vary up his tactics, even if it goes against everything he knows.

However, with backward compatibility said to be a guarantee, this might not be the case. For all intents and purposes, Sony could offer a patch for any PS4 game that makes it utilize unique PS5 features. Since Ghost of Tsushima may be launching mere weeks before the PS5, maybe a PS5 disc will simply be the PS4 version with any relevant patches applied. It would certainly make for a good excuse to release a "Game of the Year" edition and label it a PS5 exclus

Good space shooters are hard to come by these days. Seeing Ubisoft take a leap on something different than the usual open-world action-adventure game, especially the toys-to-life fad that has died down since Skylanders and Disney Infinity released a few years back, is somewhat refresh

Authenticity to the period and setting were one of Sucker Punch’s key objectives when building the game. The team traveled to Japan to study the environment and architecture of the time and took that knowledge to develop a stunning game. From the thick forests to the lush moss growing on rocks to the fields of wheat that blow in the wind, Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game to behold. To add additional authenticity to the world, the demo was played with Japanese audio, an option that will be available players at launch.

When Watch Dogs Legion was unveiled and it was revealed that there were several playable characters such as the granny assassin, it was a big deal for the franchise. Watch Dogs 2 wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but this showed real promise. Shortly after Sony's delays were revealed, Ubisoft followed up with several delays of its own, including for Watch Dogs Legion . Ubisoft essentially explained that it was due to recent under-performances such as Breakpoint , which could have been caused by too many games releasing too closely together, so it chose to delay three games into the next fiscal y

Interestingly, though, Sony launched The Last of Us on PS3 earlier that same year. While the specifics of the PS4's launch date were unknown at the time, many were preparing to say goodbye to their previous console and welcome a new one into their homes. Then came The Last of Us to the tune of rave reviews and incredible sales. Clearly people couldn't wait for the PS4 and had to game right
