Sucker Punch’s shock feudal PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima sounds like it’ll be the Seattle studio’s biggest ever game, eclipsing the scale of the small but obsessively detailed inFAMOUS: Second Son. Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida confirmed as much during a PSX 2017 panel, adding that the project has been in production for over two years now.
According to Yoshida, crucial gameplay mechanics like sword fighting are already up and running behind closed doors, and it “feels and plays well”. Well, he's not going to say that it sucks, is he? Still, it’s nice to hear that good progress is being made.
Hilariously, Yoshida shared an anecdote about how the title nearly leaked. Apparently, when Sucker Punch went out on location to Tsushima in order to do some research, the team’s tour was reported on by the local newspaper. The story failed to ever reach Western ears, but it was out there floating around for some time.

looking forward to this game
Can't wait!
scale is not the only thing that matters tho,i hope they understand that
The Island of Tsushima is 'bigger' than the playable area of Second Son - not that Second Son felt 'large' - once you reach Seattle and the game opens up. Its not helped by the movement of Delsin and the fact its built up too which makes it feel quite small. Being able to get from one side to the other quickly and the fact its built-up and split up too does make it feel smaller than it probably is.
Tsushima itself is long and very narrow - and split in three with the North only connected to the South by bridges to an island between the two main islands. There are more than 3 Islands that make up Tsushima. It will be interesting to see if the game is set over the whole Island or just part of it.
Its not hard second son was terrible compared to infamous 1 and 2. It was pretty as a lot of ps4 are but very little gameplay . miss the days of 16mb graphics and awesome gameplay . this one looks promising thou
I should hope it's bigger, considering it's going for a more realistic historical setting. It would be awesome to get lost in the wilderness of ancient Japan.
@johnny30 second son had a ton of gameplay. Im so confused by the portrayal of second son as some quasi failure when its fundementally sound and the gameplay is a ton of fun. The characters have depth in Fetch and Augustine in particular and the powers look bloomin brilliant.
Either way looking forward to this.
I'm surprised nobody over there shared anything about it with the rest of the world.
@themcnoisy I agree I loved both play throughs of second son. Infamous 1 will always be my favourite as Cole is my favourite character. Delsin was a little flat in comparison but the game was solid and fun.
That being said I am super hyped for GoT. Suckerpunch is my only day one buy company as they have never let me down.
@themcnoisy I got bored with it in about 30 minutes. And the characters were artificial and irritating. I think perhaps open world games just aren't for me (I did love HZD though)
Very excited for this one. SuckerPunch always delivers!
@fuzzy833 You never reached Fetch, recovering smack head with a vendetta against drug dealers. Complex character and really well done.
@johnny30 yeah, I know what you mean. I enjoyed Second Son, it had great gameplay and the graphics were amazing......but for me it wasn’t a patch on the the excellent story from from 1 and 2. And I think Cole is a better protagonist than Delsin, and I’d be stoked if Cole came back for another game.
@KratosMD Thanks for the History lesson but that doesn't necessarily mean Sucker Punch will give us the whole of Tsushima Island. They could still limit it to the South or North part or even just a part of one these areas.
@jacobia hit the nail on the head . the story was the weakest part of the game . gameplay was good.the story and banter between cole and Zeke was awesome . the whole future Cole coming back to make him stronger to fight the beast . shame the ending infamous 2 was a bit of a let down. Good graphics are great as long as they down overshadow story and gameplay but that's not the case with second son
This is the first Sucker Punch game that I'm excited for. Can't wait to see some gameplay!
