Ghostwire: Tokyo Review - IGN

With superb visual design and an incredibly well-realised rendition of Tokyo, Ghostwire gets a lot right, but just doesn't quite have the gameplay chops to push it over the top.

The-Matrix-has-you1534d ago

Honestly, that’s about what I expected, it’s a pretty decent score. Hope whoever is looking forward to this game enjoys it. I may give it a go down the line but for some reason it’s just not grabbing me like I thought it would.

ABizzel11534d ago

From what I've read it's basically Japanese Bioshock with not quite as good of a story / exploration / surprise factor / newness. So it's worth looking into, but maybe not at launch for most people.

Blastoise1534d ago

Looks like a worthwhile game to buy after a price drop or two. I'll probably check it out one day just to see some of the weird monsters

sparky771534d ago

I can't imagine many paying $70 for this, I will likely check it out when it comes to Game Pass though.

JEECE1534d ago

Good thing you can get it for $54 right now lol

darren_poolies1534d ago

I don't really get this logic. It ain't gonna be on GP till next year at the earliest and by then it'll be like $20.

Neonridr1534d ago

or included with your GP subscription.

Chevalier1533d ago

Rather pay $20 and get a better experience with the Dualsense then wait for it on Gamepass. Deathloop dropped price quite quickly, willing to bet this will be the same

Elda1534d ago

The standard edition is $60.

LoveSpuds1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

It's that attitude, that MS very much wants to encourage, which makes GP such bad news for the videogame landscape.

I wish I got paid $0.01 every time someone pointlessly mentions Game Pass.

gamer78041534d ago

This isn’t pointless though. It’s a a game that someone might be questioning whether it’s worth a purchase. Why not wait until they can try it out and put their current money towards something else or their time towards something else. It’s just smart money and time management.

gangsta_red1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

Will also try this when it comes to Game Pass. Not because of the score but because there's just other games at the moment in the pipeline to play that won't be on GP. Why not wait for this one to be available on a service we pay for?

It's funny the unnecessary hate GP recieves whenever someone personally comments on it.

Christopher1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

Show me the hate for Game Pass presented and not just annoyance at people constantly bringing it up even when it's not relevant to the conversation at all. The game isn't even going to Xbox for at least a year and people are talking about it going to Game Pass, which nothing has been mentioned at all.

gangsta_red1534d ago

You're displaying hate already by being annoyed at someone who is going to wait for it's eventual release on GP.

I also see comments of people saying about they'll wait for the game to go on sale with absolutely no push back, but mention wait for it to come to GP and you get the dogpile we see here.

Neonridr1534d ago

@Christopher - we know it's a timed exclusive. Do we know it's for a year? Plus why wouldn't it go to GP, it's a MS owned studio now.

Christopher1534d ago

***You're displaying hate already by being annoyed at someone who is going to wait for it's eventual release on GP.***

Not hate for GP, which is what you said. Let's not go further on this, you're not proving a point I made but trying to associate my annoyance with people with Game Pass itself. That's exactly what you said above and what I replied to (" the unnecessary hate GP receives"). I absolutely don't deny annoyances with pointless Game Pass mentions, as I said. Perhaps focus on that "pointless" bit?

***I also see comments of people saying about they'll wait for the game to go on sale with absolutely no push back***

All games go on sale. Most games don't go to GP. Nor is going on sale used to play up one platform over another in comments like people do on a currently Sony exclusive.

***we know it's a timed exclusive. Do we know it's for a year?***

It's what people have said. Even so far that it's part of their wiki listing for the game (second sentence) https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

***Plus why wouldn't it go to GP, it's a MS owned studio now.***

You're right. I was unaware Tango was acquired by ZeniMax.

gangsta_red1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

It's funny to read all that just to then see...

**You're right. I was unaware Tango was acquired by ZeniMax**

Which makes you're whole annoyance comment further ridiculous. It's exactly why the OP is going to wait for this game to come to GP and also why it wasn't a "pointless" comment to mention it here. I also thought you knew this which was strange to even see you say "we don't know...".

***Nor is going on sale used to play up one platform over another in comments like people do on a currently Sony exclusive.***

But the OP isn't saying anything of the sort. Or trying to imply this game coming to GP is some sort of victory over other consoles. Just as some have said they're going to wait for it to go on sale, others are going to wait for it to come to GP.

For some reason this seems to annoy you...that's my point.

UncertainCategory1534d ago

Just going to throw in my two cents here.. this is a first party Microsoft game. The Gamepass conversation is extraordinarily relevant as we know for a fact that it’ll be added permanently as soon as Sonys exclusivity window closes. So saving $70 and waiting a year for a 7/10 game may be a smart move for some consumers.

Paid for and downloaded. Right on time too. Just finished Strangers of Paradise. Saving HFW, Elden, and Cyber for after I finish these lesser titles off.

Ashunderfire861534d ago

Your going to love HFW you should try that one next wow 😮 and the soundtrack is mindblowin! I just can’t wait for the DLC and Horizon 3 already maybe Aloy will give to Ruin New York City. It just makes total sense since she was always out West from the first 2 games. Ruin New York to Ruin Florida with a Disney World Easter Egg 🥚 lol 😂

SkilledGamer580d ago

Yeah, the game was just randomly announced today alongside the PS+ listings for next month.

Petebloodyonion580d ago

Ghostwire Tokyo will be free on EPIC from this Thursday until November 5. No subscription is required, and you can keep the game permanently.

Petebloodyonion580d ago

Eonjay580d ago

Ghotewire Tokyo is actually really underated. This is a great get for Plus and the Epic Store.

goken580d ago

Thanks 😀. I will try to get that too

FinalFantasyFanatic579d ago

Ghostwire Tokyo has actually been free on EPIC before, I was actually contemplating playing it soon, great for people on PC who haven't picked it up yet though.

Terry_B580d ago

Meh month I guess. But maybe Hot Wheels is kinda fun at least.

goken580d ago

I would say This is a pretty good month 😃

Always wanted to try ghost wire.

Death note looks interesting

Don’t care for hot wheels though

redknight80580d ago

Heck yeah, Ghost Wire is an awesome game - I really enjoyed it from beginning to end!

Abnor_Mal580d ago

Hot Wheels for the win. The others I’ll add them to my library but not really interested.

This shouldn't have happened.

Who's next..

JEECE718d ago

Ninja Theory, most likely.

tay8701718d ago

Ninja theory. Others will follow as well. The smaller studios MS owns should all be worried. Maybe MS will try and release some of their games day and date on ps5 to save some of these studios.

jznrpg718d ago

I can see Ninja Theory. At least Tango made a game that was reviewed well. Ninja Theory spent a lot of years to release a tech demo that didn’t do well at all.

repsahj717d ago

I get it that Hellblade 2 is a boring game, but I hope they are not the next to be closed.

ABizzel1717d ago

@repssahj

Ninja Theory is likely on the chopping block too. They released Bleeding Edge which bombed, took 4 years to release Hellbalde 2 which doesn’t seem to be doing well, and still have Project Mara in limbo. They’re high on the chopping block.

MS was likely expecting their God of War / Uncharted quality game from NT based on Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, DmC, and to an extent Hellblade 1, but NT hasn’t delivered since Hellblade 1 which was 7 years ago.

Sonic1881717d ago

anast718d ago

Sad, but I see characters and posters of either less than average or barely average games.

LoveSpuds718d ago

Have to disagree here duder, with respect. Evil Within was a good game and the sequel was fantastic, as was HiFi Rush. I'd concede Ghostwire was pretty average but regardless, shuttering a studio which just put out MS best game in donkeys years was complete shithousery on XBox' part.

Einhander1972718d ago (Edited 718d ago )

Microsoft paid 8B to buy Zenimax then fired well over 1000 people from Zenimax between the time they closed the deal and they announced these shut downs.

People talk about the 1900 they fired most recently, but that was only one wave of three sets of layoffs from their gaming division so far this generation totalling around 5000 people this generation. Not counting the dozen plus studios they canned last gen including Lionhead the original Fable developers.

anast718d ago

By every real metric HiFi was an average game. I don't see an Evil within poster in the thumb, which is a shame, because if they threw their weight behind that IP, they might have still been around.

LoveSpuds718d ago

I don't understand how you can say it was average in every metric when it garnered the reviews it did?

Fonsecap718d ago

Working people paying the price for leadership bad decisions, so unfair...
