So glad to see Sucker Punch get their due. They've been low key one of the best devs in the industry for a long time now.
always been sonys best kept secrets and secret weapons! only now people are realising how important games are... how important sonys stable of studios are, these studios have stepped up to naughtydogs level!!! sony studios have knocked it out of the park every single year!! when has that happened when every single game from a different dev has been in contention for goty all coming from one pub/platform holder not even ninty can match that
Infamous 2 was one of the best looking games on PS3
antwango I think they’re *almost* there but their facial mo-cap needs some work. It’s not as good as TLOU 2 but Ghost beats almost every other game out there. I’m not diminishing SP’s accomplishments - I’m just saying their next game will be perfection.
@@zensoredparagonbytes3985 and it was insanely satisfying to play. It's my 3rd favorite game of all time
@@antwango Haha even Sony itself underestimated Ghost of Tsushima.
Got the platinum trophy for Ghost over the weekend and started a Lethal playthrough. Game is one of the best of the gen, if not all time.
Did you struggle to find that last side mission on the map? I did lol, had to really look for that ? & was hard to spot!
Witcher 3 greatest of all time imo but I loved this game. Still think Cyberpunk will take game of the year this year though, nobody does a game better then CD projekt red.
Absolutely the best game ever made next to the metal gear series
@@RelxpseGaming well, this did not age well 🤣🤣
@@yunushafeez5438 No it definitely did not mate 😂 Cyberpunk to CyberJunk over night 😂
This game has the best title card sequence in recent memory, the swelling music as jin enters the golden white field of long grass on horseback, as he runs his hands through it was orgasmic, it's a shame they didnt use the music more often though. It would've been as good as God of War in that regard (in the music department) if it had. 8.5/10
It was a great prologue, in fact the opening sequence is the best I've ever played that bit at the start when you realise it's not a cut scene anymore and your charging down the hill towards the Mongols was unreal.
@Acererak you can literally control your character to go through the pampas grass as long as you want....
Anyone who says the open world design is not innovative is kidding themselves. It's incredibly well crafted and as he says, let's the player discover it at their own pace. The guiding wind mechanic makes it easily one of the best open world's.
A lot of its elements were not though. They were copy and pasted from other games like Shadow of war, Assasins Creed, etc.
@@HEARD201 ehhhhh kinda not really. Aside from camps being similar to AC they're not similar open world's at all. It's nothing like Shadow of War.
@@dustinakadustin than you didnt play shawdow of war. The bow parts are identical. Shoot the beehive, survey the area, shoot red barrels etc. AC has the missions where you have to follow the enemies without being seen. I mean this is identical game design.
@@HEARD201 And their main combat mechanics copied Arkham.
Nothing is truly original. It's about how something blends all these different factors together.
John Harder exactly!
GOTY material love every second of this masterpiece
I think it has a chance to win it, only TLOU2 could nick it, but either way would be OK with me!
Agree 100% amazing game.
Could not agree more with you =)
Ghost deserves a 9 out of 10. At least. Anyone who scored it under 9, clearly only played the 1st act.
its just an opinion, chill
@@PunchPerfectPlayer You chill.
Marco Neves you crying over video game opinions lol
@@PunchPerfectPlayer Are you?
Marco Neves chill
⛩Game of the Year 2020!🏆
Ghost of Tsushima
🦊 🌸
Wishlist:
1. New Game Plus
2. Jin's Loadouts for charms and armor
I 2nd this. It's what i want the most and maybe a way to replay duel battles without having to go through the entire game again.
I want the ability to replay missions. Or the very least, you find random peasants asking for help as old mongol camps get reoccupied by mongols. I now spend the game riding on the roads looking for random mongol patrols to fight.
Jonathan .T Yeah me too
3. some sort of challenge mode that has options for mobs, stealth, AND duels.
4. more duel quests like "Six Blades" with unique NPC swordsmen.
5. more outfits/hats/headbands!
6. inari charm should also increase collected flowers
7. a lethal "Sword God" mode where parry windows are smaller, no resolve, and both Jin and enemies die in one sword strike.
I want a warlord armor !
Just started Act 3. Loved every moment so far.
I like how Nate Fox touched on some of the underlying game mechanics in GoT. The wind really is a well implemented feature as it helps guide you, but makes you feel like you stumbled upon something all on your own. Rather than having a bread crumb trail that leads you directly to something, you still feel a sense of discovery and accomplishment. It also plays well into the themes of the game, where they wind just doesn't simply blow in one direction. It often breathes new life into the environment or is reactive to what is happening. Sometimes during moments where some crazy shit about to go down and surge of wind. It's just a really well designed, intricately crafted game all around, and fun.
The weather in the game is brilliant, it literally reacts to your actions, it's fantastic. Start killing people as the Ghost and thunder and lightning rolls in.
Got my platinum. Excellent body of work from start to finish. The musical scores are fantastic. No one is talking about the music! Hans Zimmer’s quality, for sure.
Yeah, scene with the horse, superb!
I really hope they open up Shimura Castle, Kaneda Castle and Lord Shimura's Camp in the postgame...
Get on your horse and sit on the horse with the horses backend against the gate and shoot an explosive arrow and it will blow you through the gate. I saw this on a Jorraptor video.
Yaaas 🍜
@@rustywhitesocks1872 I was just about to say that. I've tried it myself and it works! 👍👍
I can't do it. Jin gets down from his horse when near the gates.
@@gfcomiano some doors will let you approach.
This was a great and fun interview. I love how Nate’s not afraid to say “no, are you crazy?” I love developer interviews like this where they’re able to be natural and human, rather than an extension of the PR branch.
I can't imagine not playing this game without the Japanese dialogue
I never even turned on the English voice overs
Thank you for including it!
I was never interested in Infamous ect, but wow The Ghost of Tsushima is GOTY. One of this gens best.
This is the only games from them that I truly love , so far my game of the years such a fun n Beautiful game to play
You SHOULD play the inFAMOUS games. They're a heck of a good time.
@@kin4386 Especially infamous 2
In my personal opinion this Game is almost on the level of Witcher 3.The Story is well written and emotional,there are no meaningless or boring sidequests.it has one of the best combat systems i ever experienced in these Kind of Games.And the Visuals and the Atmosphere arejust stunning. It's brilliant.
@TheOutkast4ever At the end of the day, you can poke holes in most creative works (particularly any with stories). What matter, I think, is what something makes you feel at the beginning, middle, and end.
How long is the witcher 3 story? Someone said you need to lvl up to progress unlike got!
@@johnharder9925 totally agree!
@@bengejuknowit3048 Hard to tell - I would say - 30-50 hrs for Witcher 3 is fast. I think with most side quests would be 50-80 hrs. But to enjoy it fully some players played over 150 hrs
The combat system is just so clever and efficient ...
Huge props for the Usagi Yojimbo reference. I love that comic series.
I'm getting toward the end of the main story now, and have to say first and foremost that this is most definitely game of the year for me. Also that I already just cannot wait to see what sucker punch does next. Anyone else started playing infamous second son again since ghost came out?
I loved all the infamous games!
LOVE this game. Just finished it last night.
Man, this interview was much much better and a breath of fresh air after the cringeworthy Kinda funny one, they love themselves and think so highly of their opinions that they hardly give the interviewed person a chance to talk!
10/10 needs more ads tho
Haven’t watched, but I’m not surprised. It’s the difference between an amateur and a professional. The guest, (especially when they make the thing you revolve around) is king. You’re really only there to guide the conversation, not lead it.
@@mrshmuga9 Undoubtedly, there is this air of arrogance to their shows which overshadows the decent work they do, its a shame but most of the hosts seem to think they are on par or above the actual creators/artists. Annoying and unbelievable.
@@rickylovesyou Don't know about the other guys, but Greg needs a reality check that he's just a mouth piece for companies and nothing more. And stop letting it get to his head. Compare that with Geoff Keighley and while you can make criticisms there, he knows when to ask questions, let the developer speak, and always put them first. Maybe I'm wrong but from what I've seen he doesn't let it get to his head to boost his own ego. He's also more reserved and not (let's be real) exaggeratingly screaming just because kids on youtube love it.
the podcast beyond interview was also a nice one imo
I mean...less than 2 minutes in this dude with the blue shirt said he had trouble pronouncing Tsushima and said it might rub people the wrong way which actually caused the developer to have a pretty surprised taken aback look if you observe closely. That seems pretty idiotic if you ask me, lol.
Sucker punch is easily one of my favorite developers. Grew up playing Sly Cooper and currently 22 enjoying Ghost Of Tsushima!
Imagine what Sucker Punch could with the Vagabond licence. 🤯
And give us the epic final duel between Miyamoto and Kojiro that Inoue will never do.......Dude
OMG we need that
I love the Haiku parts. I love the whole game
I never ONCE in my playthrough ever thought to complain on the open world. I adored riding everywhere. To fight every Mongol encounter find every treasure, fox den, Haiku or Hot Spring....everything was so fun to discover.
Prolly the best game of this generation and thats something really big given that we had witcher iii, botw, hzd all in this gen among other great open world games like mgs v, days gone, rdr ii
Ghost of Tsushima delivered the user friendly samurai game I always wanted! Easy to understand menus, map & different difficultly options, just bliss!
One of the greatest exclusives ever!!!
Masterpiece all the way
Nate with the great sound and good lighting and video, showing up the hosts lol.
Something that I just found out yesterday.
There’s a tons of random peasant bodies strewn across the land. People killed prior to you getting there. If you go up to the bodies and bow, Jin will make a comment or a passing phrase like “find peace in the next life.” There’s already a couple different lines of dialogue but man, it’s stuff like that that makes your works feel alive. It’s right up there with Jin letting his hands trail through tall grass as he walks through.
I absolutely love this game. But I don't understand how the bow woman didn't tell you that they used thumb draw, and not two fingers. That really stuck out to me in the game.
What's with that innovation critique? This game has the most innovative navigation system I've seen.
A lot of people critique the game for using the typical open world formula (?'s on the map, quest markers, enemy camps, etc). It's not baseless criticism, but it does feel like it comes from people that haven't really experienced the game the way its intended to be experienced. The changes they made to the formula were pretty transformative...the wind mechanic alone made it feel different than any other open world game I've ever played. When you're no longer chasing a big arrow pointing you in your direction or a line on a minimap it opens you up to take in and appreciate more of the world around you.
Definitely has my vote for game of the year..very grateful and appreciative that I got the privilege of enjoying such a masterpiece of a game and story tank you Suckerpunch and everyone that was involved with creating this awesome game
It was such a good point about slowing down in this game. I didn't rush through any of it, I was deliberately dragging it out. Especially after act 2 because I didn't want the game to end.
One of my favorite games on PS4 hands down. The only thing I wished was for more samurai film easter eggs, been binging them recently so was hoping to see/find references to Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Rashomon, etc hidden throughout the world
The Haikus are one of the best things in the entire game. Open world devs need to learn sth about the value of slowing things down from GoT. In AC you're just running from ? to ? as fast as possible to check them off your list to the point where it gets insanely tedious and exhausting.
Just beat Ghost a week ago it's my GOTY now I'm anxiously awaiting Mafia 1 remake and CyberPunk just watching the preorder countdown tick away on my PS4............ Also, Destroy All Humans remake is great too!!!
I never played Mafia 1 but 2 was superb! 3 not so much lol
@@bengejuknowit3048 1 was a great lil gem and 2 is one of my favorite stories of all time, 3 was shit though lol
Best GoT related interview 👍
I think the best thing about this game is the random encounters with bizarre things like every once in a while the tori gate between levels in CARAVAN OF THIEVES has the demon statues animate and come to life. Id like to see more of that. The whole Legends story modes need way more of them.
The only guy who can’t pronounce the name…. Blue shirt has stupid questions. I hope he just woke up. Need some excuse
This game is a beautiful work of art , I love it
I have platinum the game yesterday...I purchased and been playing the game since July 17th launch day. I must say I didn’t wanted the game to end.The game is just so relaxing and beautiful to look at...it’s just amazing how much work was put into this game.please sucker punch release some kind of story DLC.Jin is now a Ronin and I hope we have not seen the last of him.
I'm almost at the end of third act and this game never ceases to amaze me with constant surprises, story-wise and gameplay-wise. There's so many things to do and so many possibilities to do them differently (in every hour you're presented to a new mechanic. Now the possibilities seem endless).
I was expecting to be good, but it is way beyond that. Not since Horizon Zero Dawn an open world has engaged me this much. GOTY for sure.
One of the most innovative games,well said mr.fox
This game is amazing. An expansion please ,👍👍👍😊👍👍👍
Issue with title pronunciation? Dude, are you serious? That was incredibly dumb. 😐
All in all great interview.
I got the platinum and just waiting for new game+. And, I hope it's before the PS5.
No mention of ng+.
Ghost is my favorite game this year.
Just finished and platinumed this morning. Played the entire game in Japanese language which really made it so enjoyable and immersive. Incredible game, GOTY!!!
Sucker punch has really grown as a developer and are making really fun and polished games.
I can't believe these interviewers would bring up a stupid comment (and how disappointing) that the world is not innovative enough?? wth who has even said that? -- innovative compared to what? What open world is more innovative than GoT? most open worlds are the same anyway. Imo GoT has set the bar on open world innovation. love hearing Nate Fox talk about the game. What an amazing and talented man
Sounds a bit fanboyish to be honest. I think it's valid criticisms outed by many people.
You cannot possibly say that doing your 30th haiku or fox shrine is a fun thing to do. The world feels more and more artificial the longer you play, because the open world is (at its core) the same handful of things you do over and over again. The excellent combat and the visuals is what makes this game awesome, not the open world aspects which are really not that innovative. Compare this (for example) with a game like Guild Wars 2 or Red Dead Redemption 2 where stories span across multiple chains of open world events that can even impact each other, and where stories sometimes naturally emerge rather than being activated by the player.
Besides the camps in GoT that you can liberate and few random mobs and animals, nothing really feels "alive" and "moving", it's very static in that sense.
Also, a lot (not all) of the missions are a bunch of wild goose chases in GoT. Go here, kill some people, go back. Go here, pick something up, go back. It's something that GTA3 and 4 also suffered from in the past.
@@montanax8127 actually I found all the shrines and haiku and the fox dens alot of fun. I enjoyed it all, and was sad when I had finished them. And there aren't that many haikus sadly. Haikus were great. Have you even played the game? But many fox dens and once you complete them there are no more. I also enjoy side quests, the more the better. The side quests relate to the people of Tsushima, so they were related to what was occurring. There wasn't any unrelated 'fetch' quests either. Also this was the first time I've heard anyone say the world was not innovative. I wish all open worlds were built like this.
Stunning game. Just bought the Directors Cut and have only just started the 2nd Act. Up until now my favourite game of all time has been The Last Of Us. This might steal that title. I will wait until I finish it. Stunning
Tlou is epic for me. Just now bought director's cut. Saw some gameplay and reactions until now.
Parry system is awesome, unlike For Honor.
For honor was mental, 1st move someone would just pick me up & throw me off a bridge! lol
@@bengejuknowit3048 The parry system is dumb af in For Honor. If you get feinted, you look like an idiot.
@@bengejuknowit3048 ubisoft games are trash cashgrabs
My default is the monkey armor in lethal , but I just watched 7 samurai and switch to the eagle ronin “armor” in Kurasawa mode and boy oh boy also it felt just like the movie , I changed the language to Japanese too
Im happy for the creators..
my fav game on ps4
I hope the next game offers more focused talents and skill trees. Like using kunai more will let you become a kunai master and be able to use kunai abilities that a more samurai focused player wouldnt be able to. Also take out the whole mechanic which leads to you changing your armor a bunch of times to be optimal. I spent most of the game using tayadoris armor as I found myself using the bow and arrow more than anything, but had to change it anytime I got into serious sword fight sequences which dont allow you to be exclusively employing archery.
We need a Kurosawa mode short cut
ghost of tsushima should be game of the year good job yall
These are some of the stupidest questions I've ever heard in an interview about this masterpiece. Do your homework. It was insulting to the creative team.
I wish they includes the song "samurai spirit" by rise of the Northstar
yall did good because i was like i am not playing as jin i am jin
This game is a masterpiece, hands down. It's up there with the greats like Breath of the Wild accept the art style and detail is just on even a higher level. The game will be remembered for generations. I love slowly walking around this game world and taking it all in, every shimmer of light, sound, and movement. This game makes me feel alive in a way I've never felt.
I can't see the glinting sword color on kurosawa mode. This amp up the difficulty a bit.
Hidden Fortess is very good, especially the main warrior and princess. My favorite kurosawa movies are RAN, THRONE OF BLOOD and KAGEMUSHA, so much darker and lightyears away from the kind of Disney pure world of Seven Samurai and Hidden Fortress. Its interesting they name dropped ONIBABA in the Legends, the other film by that director is also amazing but harder to find KURONEKO.
This dudes question “hOw dID u MAkE iT lOok sO gOOd?”
Incredible game.Got the platinum trophy, loved the story, visuals animations, soundtrack, mission design, gameplay, cutscenes. It really does what rdr did for samurai genre.
Need gameplus with all abilities and armor. Expansion please too
All I have to say is thank you Sucker Punch for making this game. It's absolutely brilliant. I'm obsessed with it!!
So proud to see the Sly Racoon guys finally make it big
i feel old
Such a nice view to make a game , to just explore and enjoy it. Congratulations to SuckerPunch for making such an amazing game.
32:25 Shots fires at Kneel Cuckmann.
Nate Fox is awesome and Ghost of Tsushima is GOTY no doubt
If I had a complaint about the combat in the game it'd be in the archery mechanic. Its kind of lame that you don't see the arrows stick in the enemies unless you have the charm to retrieve some.
u r just nitpicking bruh.
@@NepaliGamer Well I don't think it's an unjustified criticism, the mechanic works, it's just the weakest element of combat in the game. I didn't say it was terrible, just that it's the one aspect I'd say could've used improvement.
For me it's the option to hide your bow!
DLC,, need it NOW
The way Jin draws his bow caught my attention during the state of play, back in May. Just amazing
His voice is so similar to Ryan Reynolds.
Sucker Punch should pick up the Tenchu series. I believe they will crush it. And were ninjas around era in time? Cuz Jin uses ninja tactics but when he is scolded in the story they never reference to his movements as ninja like? Was this the beginning of ninja espionage?
What's up with all these gamepass ads?
awesome game Suker Punch! Good job Making 2020's GOTY.
I am shocked. These guys haven't seen The Seven Samurai. It's a masterpiece legendary movie that inspired many other movies.
This game is my game of this entire generation!
THEY NEED TO ADD -
1) AI improvements.
- AI hunt LONGER when alerted, finding dead bodies, or when the player is spotted and breaks line of sight.
- And have the AI cover a larger area when searching.
- have the AI ‘tethers’ to their spawn points not be so rigid so they can chase the player for longer before having to run back to their spawn point.
- They should also have enemy AI on horses, stay mounted on their horse, by doing so it gives them a distinct advantage in combat. It also gives you a reason tactically to get them off that horse.
2) NEW GAME +
3) Lite Survival mechanics - killing animals for food are ways you can restore health.
Sleeping restores stamina to sprint further. (Not that you would need a stamina bar)
4) DLC - new island with new playable female character - Yuna? New weapons and items. Would be very cool.......
5) More Weapons - Yari and kusarigama
Game of the Year for me. Thank you Sucker Punch.
It's not hard to pronounce.
Yasss....!!! sooonnnn.... GOT become GOTY
I finished this game today. 10/10. GOTY
Just got the platin. What a game!!
Great game and Nate Fox is super lovely. Curly haired dude is a bad interviewer though, way too stiff (sorry).
I was suspicious if Jin Sakai was named after Stan Sakai, now it's confirmed!
The only thing missing from the game was a battle with a giant enemy crab.
I really hope they do better on DLC, What they said about IKI island is not even remotely true, they said its size is roughly the same size as the first island in the main game, its more like a a third of it. It is fun, but we could really use some halloween DLC. Why cant we have some Halloween zombies, or new skins for mongols and armor. Skyrim had constant updates. My comments arent critical, its because so many people are still playing it daily a year later. Legends is ok, but for the longest time i didnt even play it and you really get screwed if you dont have PS plus because the raids and best armor sets cant be aquired solo. Thats a big slap in the face because i dont see my self ever buying ps plus and i want to get all the armors. It would be so amazing to have a mideval korean zombies cross over with the netflix show KINGDOM because both stories mention the japanese invasion of korea, feature sword and bow fights and over all just fit so well with the heros finding some reason to be at odds then team up to save civilians. Id also like to see more of the horror moments of of Legends cross into main game.
Call me crazy, but I have a hard time enjoying PS4 due to the insanely loud fan... I hear it even with my noise cancelling 🎧s. Regardless, this game is fantastic.
I love this game. Cyberpunk 2077 better come out swinging because as of now this is my game of the year
lol
if i only known....lol
If the devs reading this: Besides the fact that GoT is one of the most addictive, beautiful and fun open world games I've ever played - one thing killed the immersion for me: Dead enemies bleed out and blood splatters all around realistically, but after 15-30 seconds, all these stains disappear all of a sudden like in a cheap PS2 game from the early 2000s. In a game in 2020, where devs put so much effort into immersion and realism, with minimal HUD etc., blood decals should stay on the ground like the enemy corpses do. It really bothered me the whole time until I finished the game. I really hope Sucker Punch at least offers a patch for the more powerful PS4 pro to enable permanent blood decals. Other than that it was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Thanks Sucker Punch!
*addictive
u cant have it all on these limited consoles, even the pro the cpu is essentially the same, so maybe on ps5
Would it be weird if I said thats kinda uneeded? Idk, I probably just wouldn't mind it.
@@86Fallowcp exactly same here, no big deal really
I never looked on the ground for long enough to notice. It just seems like one of those things that's a lot more trouble and hassle than it's probably worth.
Worst first question EVER.
Eh not really. Game names are incredibly important for marketing and have made or broken games before.
@@djchozen91 It is but how hard is it to pronounce the word Tsushima?
waitwhat for a non Japanese speaking audience? A bit difficult. Each of my four non Japanese friends pronounce the name in four different ways. One just gave up and called it Ghost. It’s not hard to pronounce once you hear it spoke correctly. But pronouncing it correctly just by reading it is different.
@@arisart22 I've heard Sushima, Soshima, Tushima and Toshima. So my guess would be that it's initially tricky enough for it to have been a consideration at some point.
i had a black and white tv as a kid then one day color tvs came out
Great game- but fan
I dont use the fast travel that much in this game. Id rather ride my horse Nobu/Trust from point A to point B and just soak in the atmosphere and just relax and imagine im there.
This game blew me away. I actually enjoyed it so much I went out and got the platinum trophy when I beat story because I wanted to keep playing the game. Im praying they put new game+ in the future because if there was I would of played the game right away again. I just didnt want to do everything again like shrines, Foxes, Sword kits ect. However if there isnt in the future the only thing that ill really affect it is how often! Overall this game deserves game of the year. I do think FF7 remake should get it but.... thats just the fan boy in me talking!
Just got this game on ps5 , mad as hell it didnt win goty
