Ghost of Tsushima Devs on Adding PS5 Functionality, Introducing a New Villain in Director's Cut

Ghost of Tsushima's Creative Director and Senior Writer tease what's ahead for fans in the Director's Cut.

SullysCigar1771d ago

It would have been so easy for them to walk away, counting the money, but they just keep on polishing and adding to this amazing game.

Other Devs, watch and learn.

jjb19811771d ago

This game is amazing. I've put in 50 hours or so and am ready for another 15.

jBlakeeper1769d ago

It’s why I have no problem paying extra for the PS5 upgrade. It’s rare to see dev support like this these days.

spirited1771d ago (Edited 1771d ago )

@SullysCigar I would not say it should be free (Directors Cut) but they are adding it with a price tag and charging $10 more for ps5 features

Darkborn1771d ago

People forget they added a free multiplayer mode that was not advertised or even mentioned at all until after launch.

CorndogBurglar1771d ago

That's true but it was just that. Free. They shouldn't be making up for that by making a $10 PS5 upgrade mandatory even for people that don't have a PS5. That's almost how it sounds like you are justifying this. Forgive me if you don't mean it that way.

Darkborn1771d ago (Edited 1771d ago )

Is it mandatory? It's ps5 features for the ps5 version. Clearly your uneducated like everyone crying wolf over this. There are two things they are selling. One is an expansion that's supposedly 20ish hours long with a new island for $20 and the other Is a ps5 upgrade which is duelsense features 3d audio and Japanese lip sync, along with 4k/60, which was already patched in for free BTW a few months ago. But that ps5 upgrade is $10 and it's separate. It's not mandatory for people who don't own a ps5 like you say, unless you buy the full directors cut which is because you never played this masterpiece to begin with.

Bathyj1770d ago (Edited 1770d ago )

This Ps5 game is $10 more than the PS4 fame. Is it the only game that does it? No. Get over it.

Not just directed at you. Just so bored of this subject. Gamers are such tight arses now but will gladly pay 100s of dollars for Fortnite cosmetics. This developer actually have us something substantial already for free, and then went the extra mile again but want to be paid for it. They should have just charged 30 for PS4 too and no one would have said crap.

RodDuterte1770d ago

great addition to ps5 functionality.

Congratulations! This is the only game charting in Japan that is not Nintendo.

I'm glad to see that, after all the incel controversy regarding the lead becoming a female character, this game went on to outsell the original. Looks like folks don't mind playing as a woman after all, especially when she's a badass like Atsu. It ain't so bad, incels... you even get to see her butt when upgrading your health in the springs! Don't tell me you preferred seeing Jin's? lol

derek119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

Excellent game, my game of the year. Its open world is my favorite of any of the open worlds of the games I've played this gen.

victorMaje119d ago

It’s so beautiful, and the music *chef’s kiss*

Christopher119d ago

I really enjoyed how most of the side stuff really hit at different angles from the main theme of the story itself. Really hit on different aspects of family, honor, and revenge.

derek119d ago

Absolutely. Didn't fill like a bunch of "filler " content.

Eonjay119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

It wasn't just profitable for Sony, it was also profitable for the grifters who made a living out of generating rage bait. I'm sure they couldn't be happier with the game's success... they can use the game's success to generate further bait.

lodossrage119d ago

Unfortunately, you're right

Now those same grifters will make a bunch of excuse videos as to why they were wrong and not take accountability for actually BEING wrong. They win either way because they don't care about truth or facts, only how much adsense revenue they can grab up. So they'll say whatever they have to as long as their audience wants to hear it.

PrecursorOrb119d ago

I hope they continue to do the exact same thing and push it even further

Christopher119d ago

I mean, they would make money off of it as a success or failure. It's either a scam that people fell for and here's why or an example of go woke go broke.

justsomeoffdude119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

But overall will it sell better that GoT? Why do they have to keep reminding us about the game's sales? It just wasn't as good as GoT.

andy85119d ago

I mean yes. GOT released when everyone was at home gaming more during covid. To a much higher console install base. And it was still outsold by yotei. And given this gen is likely going to last longer and less high profile games get released because of longer development times then yes. Absolutely it'll sell more. Also i preferred it to GOT.

LucasRuinedChildhood119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

They "have to" because it was disclosed in an earnings call.

You really think that the company's Chief Financial Officer shouldn't talk about the financials of the company in an earnings call?

Christopher119d ago

The earnings calls/reports are for shareholders. They want to tell them as much good news as possible. Pretty much just normal corporate reporting here.

Your opinion notwithstanding, it obviously sold better than the original.

jznrpg119d ago

Ghost is a dope series. Hope they make a third.

repsahj119d ago

Waiting for part 3 as well. I hope they really consider making it.

ravens52119d ago

Me too, but maybe after introducing a new IP

The trailers didn’t do justice. This game looks phenomenal and having a ray tracing mode at 60fps on PS5 Pro is a treat. Much better than stutter engine 5.

derek249d ago

Yep, glad most playstation studios have their own in-house engines so they don't have to rely on working with unreal engine 5.

S2Killinit249d ago

GoT was already gorgeous. I can imagine GoY to be as impressive (:

mkis007248d ago

Combine them and you have GoTY

Reaper22_248d ago

Both look good but i don't see a major visual leap. At least not from those videos.

Levii_92248d ago

Hm nope. Absolutely not worth giving my 70$ IMO. Especially not for another girl boss revenge story. I swear man they don't know what else to write for women when they put them in these more grounded roles/games.

Sabbath1313248d ago

were you born without a brain or did you lose along the way turbo

Akira2020248d ago

He was born with an opinion, just like you.

mkis007248d ago

How is this different from Tomb Raider? Or is that also not grounded

tay8701248d ago

Ahh another weak willed cry baby. Dude grow the hell up or take a time machine back to the 1950s where your ignorant, fragile male ego is better suited.

S2Killinit248d ago

At this point anyone can cry about anything. People say they want single player games with stories and not multiplyer, then proceed to cry about the story not fitting their world view, etc.

Cry on everybody.

xHeavYx248d ago

Absolutely buying this. Not skipping good games just to stand on some flimsy soapbox.

Kurisu248d ago

Just preordered the game myself. I didn't purchase GoT but I played it when it hit the PS+ catalogue and loved it. Yotei definitely gets my money.

Travesty248d ago (Edited 248d ago )

Me too, when I got my PS5 I played it off PS+, one of my all time favorites. Now I have the Pro.
I got the physical version off of PlayStation Direct and they said it would come on launch day or up to three days before. Definitely won’t be sad to have it before launch lol.

yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.
