drahkon Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Quote The year is 1274. Samurai warriors are the legendary defenders of Japan--until the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the island of Tsushima, wreaking havoc and conquering the local population. As one of the last surviving samurai, you rise from the ashes to fight back. But, honorable tactics won't lead you to victory. You must move beyond your samurai traditions to forge a new way of fighting--the way of the Ghost--as you wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Japan.
Julius Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I don’t need to know much more. I’m totally in! This looks fantastic.
dwarf Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Hints of BotW-inspired design, so my interest is perked.
Blade Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Looks interesting! I will definitely keep my eye on it.

All they’ve done is Sly Cooper and Infamous. (And some one off N64 game that I think isn’t their IP) Can’t blame them for branching out again and trying a new IP.
Hero-of-Time Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 This was probably my favourite thing of the conference. Sucker Punch have a fantastic track record and I love any kind of samurai setting, so this is right up my street. 1
Daft Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 All I need to know is that Sucker Punch are making it. I am SO excited to see what they do. What a wonderful surprise.
DriftKaiser Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Do you reckon that we might have supernatural abilities or or we will play an actually samurai with amazing sword-fighting skill?
Daft Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I'm hoping it's grounded. Nothing in the trailer or what SP have said have indicated anything magic-y. 1
Julius Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) It’s possible that the game might not be as Samurai-oriented as it originally seemed, and could be a ninja game instead (or as well as?). From the official site (and included in @drahkon‘s original post too): Quote As one of the last surviving Samurai, you rise from the ashes and move beyond your traditions to forge a new way of fighting — the way of the Ghost — as you wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Japan. I was really looking forward to a Samurai game, but I’d be happy to see a AAA Tenchu too! It would also explain the ninja look of the character in the trailer: Edited November 1, 2017 by Julius Caesar
DriftKaiser Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Also sucker punch said the stealth is a huge part of the game and I read some comments about how it's not uncommon thing for a samurai became a unconventional fighter (Ronin) or that there are samurai schools actually teaching ninjajutsu along with the Bushido code in Japan's history

It seems that he was a Samurai before, until whoever his master was gets killed; a rōnin is a Samurai who’s lost their master (literally translates as “drifter” or “wanderer”). It seems like he tries to get avenge his fallen master as a rōnin, which fails, and so he turns to alternative techniques with ninjitsu. I honestly just hope that we get to play as all three types of warrior throughout the story.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 A couple of bits of artwork for the game have been released. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game looks and plays. 1 1

The colour palette really lends itself to being a game set hundreds of years ago, and the particle effect look superb. Just insane. The leaves man! I also love the linear/side-view samurai stand-offs, and the sound effect for unsheathing your katana is incredible. Hoping for a release window come Paris Games Week/PSX Edited June 12, 2018 by Julius Caesar 1
Choze Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 That gameplay trailer gave the game a huge boost (along with death stranding). Didnt think this would end up being big.
dan-likes-trees Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 The leaves fluttering around at the end.. dope. Surely not hitting this generation though is it?

Out of the three of their four deep dive games currently without a release date, yet alone a release window, I think this is probably the safest bet to come first. Doesn’t really answer your question, I know but I hope so. I don’t know how long I can wait for a game like this without losing my mind it looks beautiful, that much is for sure!
