The space sim combat stuff was a major missed opportunity for TOR which launched without it and instead featured an on-rails space shooter of sorts, dropping the ball on the space combat previous Star Wars MMO ( Galaxies ) offered or Https://strategynewsbase.com what all of the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games delivered throughout the ’90s. With the amount of buzz space sims are getting these days thanks to EVE: Valkyrie and Star Citizen it’s about darn time the Star Wars brand does something with their massive library of space ships. Unfortunately, all of the ships in Galatic Starfighter are not from the fil
The map displayed above measures roughly 30 km by 70 km, and according to Wikipedia , the whole island covers an area of 273.6 square miles or 708.7 square kilometers. It can pretty much fit two cities the size of Seattle, and that’s just counting the area covered by land. Considering the irregular nature of the island, it feels even bigger in compari
The reason why Sucker Punch moved away from inFamous and created something completely different is that they have done something for a long time, and they wanted to try something else. It was a “huge risk,” but according to Harper it was “so worth
Join us as we celebrate the Uncharted 10th Anniversary at PSX 2017 with an unprecedented gathering of the cast from throughout the series! Nolan North, Emily Rose, Richard McGonagle, Claudia Black, Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, Graham McTavish, and Robin-Atkin Downes reflect on the series and share their memories with guest moderator Greg Miller (Kinda Funny). We’ll also be hosting a special signing session with the cast prior to the panel. Keep an eye on the PlayStation Experience app for time and locat
The game is set on the island of Tsushima in the Korea Strait, right in the middle between the westernmost tip of Japan in Kyushu and the Korean peninsula. The backdrop is the first Mongol invasion of 1274, led by Genghis Khan’s grandson Kublai Khan and culminated with the Battle of Bun’ei where the term “Kamikaze” was b
During the trip, they met by chance Nagamasa Sou, who is the direct descendant of the Sou clan, that governed the island during the invasion. Sou-san gave Harper his business card, and Harper politely provided his own as well (as is customary in Japan). Below you can see the newspaper clipping from the local newspaper Tsushima Shinbun, that actually published the business card and details about the visit, risking to leak the g
Developers don’t always apply the same solution to different games, and while we’re still in the PS4 generation, technology has evolved considerably since 2014. Open worlds are getting bigger and bigger, and the recent example of Assassin’s Creed Origins shows what a team with a good engine and enough resources can do (even if there have been bigger examples, like Just Cause
The team went to Tsushima twice with two different groups of developers. The second time, it was during a festival commemorating the Mongol invasion, and that was an “amazing experience” according to Harper. They even visited a local high school to see historical Mongol artifa
Sony Santa Monica’s latest exploration of ancient mythology through violence received a surprisingly vague release window of Early 2018 at E3, which was sustained through a succinct demo at Paris Games Week. It would be rather surprising for God of War to not garner a release date considering how impending “Early 2018” is, but we may see little else from the father-son adventure considering how tight-lipped the studio has been thus far.
Harper thought for a moment that he’d lose his job, and Fox describes it as the “freak-out moment” at Sucker Punch, but luckily no one else picked the news up. The much-feared leak mentioned yesterday by Shuhei Yoshida did not hap
Building on this year’s E3 finale, Insomniac’s adaptation of the web-slinging hero was also heavily implied to release in the first half of this year during the aforementioned Layden interview. Spider-Man will likely complete the trio of release date reveals that will take place during PSX, along with perhaps another in-depth gameplay demo to show off the scope of Insomniac’s newest release.
Ghost of Tsushima doesn’t yet have a release window, but it will come exclusively for PS4. If you want to learn more, you can enjoy some data recently provided by the developer s, the first trailer , and some lovely a
Interestingly, Nate Fox asked the audience at the end of the panel if they would be interested in playing the game with Japanese dialogue, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Fox followed up with “noted.” Looks like my wish might actually come tr
Sucker Punch has been rather clear in mentioning that the game is the biggest they have ever made , and it has been in the oven for quite a while now. Considering the real-world size of Tsushima, there is certainly the potential for an enormous map, especially considering to the tiny one featured in inFAMOUS: Second Son . What remains to be seen is whether it’ll be scaled down and by how m
