Exploring Tsushima
From Jason Connell, a member of Sucker Punch Productions;
Exploration has been at the heart of our open world design since the very beginning but you can’t have exploration if you don’t have curiosity.
Ghost of Tsushima has taken exploration in open world games to a whole new level. With a well designed map, it is easy to navigate from one place to another. The game has enabled players to easily interact with nature and their surrounding. One can follow the direction of the wind to guide them to their destination, which can be done by foot or by horse.
The guiding wind can take you to all kinds of locations in the game… It can also take you to your next big story moments or even help you find rare collectibles.
Players are advised to keep their eyes peeled on other visual cues such as smoke stacks on the horizon, interesting and odd shaped trees or maybe even animals trying to get their attention such as foxes which will guide Jin to shrines across the island.
Combat
Jin can go to combat as various avatars, players have been given the freedom to choose their preferred mode of combat;
1. Jin, The Samurai.
From Nate Fox;
If you’ve seen a Samurai movie, you know what to expect, two warriors sizing each other up, waiting for the other to make the first move.
As a Samurai, Jin can challenge enemies to lethal standoffs, No stealth, just one on one combat with your enemies. Jin can also show respect to his victims once he has finished them off, how cool is this!!!!
2. Jin, The Ghost
Jin can also take out his enemies as the dishonorable Ghost and as the Ghost he will use every dirty trick he can think of to even the odds, even using fear as a weapon. Stealth is the main aspect of the Ghost and Jin will silently and carefully take out his enemies through use of distractions, luring his enemies to their deaths.
Customizing Jin
Players can customize Jin into various sets of armor, which gives Jin different mechanical advantages; not just giving him the looks but also to help him portray his chosen play style. As players explore the world of Tsushima, they will discover charms which will give them an edge in battle.
Photo mode
Photo mode is special in Ghost of Tsushima with new features such as colour gradient, depth of field so you can focus on the right objects. You can also control wind direction and its speed. You can also change out the particles such as different types of leaves, fireflies, or even select your specific type of music.
Other special features can be seen in the 18 minute video from Sucker Punch Productions.
