GameInformer: "We've featured a month's worth of Infamous 2 stories on the site on top of our cover story in the magazine, but there's no one better equipped to talk about the game than it's creators themselves. We had a chance to talk to game director Nate Fox and Sucker Punch manager/producer Brian Fleming about the game, and we brought our cameras along. Take a look below to hear the two discuss the upcoming adventure of Cole MacGrath."
Starting January 1, longtime creative and technical leaders Jason Connell and Adrian Bentley will step into new roles as studio heads, continuing to guide the team’s focus on ambitious, character-driven experiences that define PlayStation Studios.
Ghost of Yotei can be followed up with spin-offs, confirms the Creative Directors at Sucker Punch Productions.
Kind of surprising because I don’t know how they’d do spin offs given that they are now making each new game about a different Ghost. When you spin off it’s usually about a different character or location but they are already doing that here.
Only thing I can think of is Jin making a return with a direct follow up to Tsushima and then eventually Yotei will get the same treatment.
*shudder*
I didn’t think about live service
As for Legends, I think doing it as an update after launch for the current game is a better way than a separate game entirely
I think people are throwing around the word spin-off without really knowing what it means. As far as I know, or maybe this is just my interpretation, but a spin-off is something that features someone who was already introduced in a main entry.
So in my mind, Ghost of Yotei is it's own standalone entry in an anthology. Whereas a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off would be if we got something like a game, novel, comic or series focusing on Yuna, Kenji, Tomoe or some other character from the game.
That’s how I’d understand it. I thought they’d go back to Jin though. Imo his story needs a sequel.
I mean or you could make a new Sly Cooper, InFamous, or new IP and not milk this series...
So Ghost of Yotei is milking the series... but making a new Sly Cooper or Infamous isn't?
I believe his point is that both series have been gone long enough where regardless of how many entries there are, he (and others) miss the franchise and wouldn't feel like it's considered "milking" due to the massive time gap.
When a gameplay style or characters are gone for so long, its only natural to want to see it return, right?
Mix it up, don't just pigeon hole yourself to make only samurai games, toss in some variety. But if Sucker Punch doesn't want to do that, so be it.
We have had 4 sly cooper games (not including the collection), 3 infamous games (not including the spin-off first light) and so far only 2 ghost games so i wouldn't really call it milking the series. Now, i wouldn't mind also getting another sly or infamous game though.
So, they’re not going to work on different things? Just Ghost and spin-offs for years to come? Please don’t Ass Creed this IP
Feels like Sony's thing lately studio struck gold and 10 years later they are still toiling away at the same IP tlou and horizon two of the biggest examples
Meet the team at Sucker Punch Productions!
Ghost of Tsushima and SP were my 2020 goty & dev of the year.
I need more from the Ghost's legend mode, too addicting but ran out of things to do after a few months, can't get enough of it.
This means a new IP reveal is coming, right?
Why else educate the masses on a studio’s branding, if not to show off something that isn’t a sequel?
More action adventure titles in development or they actually going to dip their toes in an RPG? Tired of Sony’s formulaic titles
This game have "Game Of The Year" written all over it.
Cant wait for this game to come out! however im still not feeling the look of the new cole. :( sucker punch, make the old cole an unlockable character PLEEEEEEASE!!! i beg you.
enjoying it so far
They were serious when they said they would take the "Uncharted 2 route".
This game looks so improved from the first one, it seems the first one was on a different gen console.
It´s amazing how it looks. And I believe the story and the gameplay will be well polished too.
