Re: Ghost of Tsushima Sequel Rumoured as Dev Wants New Narrative Writer with Knowledge of Feudal Japan

Sequel? Almost definitely going to be story DLC. Or at least story DLC sold in a new box with a different label... unless you all consider First Light or the new Miles Morales as proper sequels... which probably isn't 100% wrong, I just consider them more of new campaign expansions.

With all the assets they made, and all the time they spent making this game, they are definitely going to get some more juice out of it. They'll probably do the same thing as First Light - new character, some new skills, same map with some redesigns to show time has passed, a couple new areas, and that's about it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that that's going to be bad - I'm just saying it's definitely not gonna be a full, new "sequel", by what were used to considering a sequel.

@PhhhCough lol, ok champ. I must have hallucinated when I managed to map an extra 20 different functions to my ds4 using every feature that the Xbox controller doesn't have, comfortably supplementing my KB&M in a PC environment with only the DS4.

And you clearly had trouble passing high school if you had couldn't understand the Stockholm reference. I thought it was obvious to at least the moderately intelligent, but I can dumb it down to meet your needs - you can't say I'm not gracious! So you see, Xbox's controller is objectively lesser than the DS4 (I'm assuming you stayed in school long enough to learn the difference between objective and subjective, but you can Google it if those words are too complicated for you), seeing as it has more features that can be easily and intuitively put to greater use. So, for someone to vehemently defend (again, sorry for the big word, Google it if you need to, big guy) something that is objectively less, one must presume that that you defend Microsoft - aka, your "captors" - out of a childish fanboy-ism in a similar manner that a hostage might. And before you start furiously typing your response, let me assuage your concerns and let you know that I own every console, so my opinion isn't biased. I've tried using each controller on PC, and while the Xbox controller is indeed the most comfortable, it isn't enough to outweigh the extensive functionality of the DS4. If it helps you understand my sentences better, maybe you can read that all out loud again slowly, okay chief?

By the way, I can tell you're the kind of person who will need the last word to feel like a big strong winner man, so I'll do you a favor and let you respond with whatever you need to feel like you "won" this discussion, and I won't respond again. I mean, I definitely won't read your response either, but as I'm satisfied just giving factual analyses of the measurable benefits of all the innovative features that the DS4 possesses (dang, you'll probably need to Google a lot of words there, sorry about that, buddy), I'll let you get your satisfaction of totally definitely destroying me with whatever genius rebuttal you manage to come up with.

But again... I won't read it. I really can't stress that enough.

Bye Felicia 😘

@PhhhCough well, nobody knows what else can be done until somebody does it, right? If Nintendo had that attitude, we wouldn't have analog or rumble packs, or the Switch. Innovation for no reason isn't always successful, yes, but to argue that we shouldn't try because it's cheaper to upgrade to a nicer version of the same thing is foolish. Are you saying that there's nowhere else for the Xbox controller to improve? If you've aimed a bow in BotW using the gyro controls, you would know it's not just for "innovations sake", and it feels great. That's another great feature that xbox won't have, and that's a proven success. The real reason xbox isn't innovating is that they're focusing on PC and can't be unique with their console without hurting their plan to make money via monthly game subscriptions across pc and xbox. Sounds like you're arguing for stagnation, and I don't understand. Why buy a new xbox at all? Just get a PC.

It's also super weird that you're fine with MS offering a $180 controller (the cost of more than two new PS5 controllers) that doesn't do anything different than a regular xbox controller, except that it's #Nice, but you're not okay with having to buy a next-gen controller because the games have next-gen controller features. It just sounds like Stockholm's syndrome to me, honestly. I'm not saying the Xbox Se.X is going to do badly because it isn't doing anything different at all... I just don't understand why people feel they need to defend it and say that the innovators are the fools.

Xbone... Xbox Se.X.... there's someone horny at MS naming these consoles...

Edit: actually hold on. People have a problem with having to buy an $80 controller that has new features for a new console, but are fine buying an entirely new xbox console for $400+ that does absolutely nothing different but a minor improvement in graphics in a time where graphical improvements are almost imperceptible? Does that not make you think you might be reacting more out of brand loyalty than like, logic? Why buy a new xbox at all? Don't have to buy a new controller OR console.

Idk if anyone else here has seen these too, but I find it so weird that there are people writing articles saying stuff like "Sony is giving Xbox a victory by not allowing players to use their last gen's controller". Like, really? Would the N64 have been better if you could use the SNES controller, meaning designers couldn't give us analog controls, since not everyone could use them? Or a 64 controller on the Wii, making the Wii give up motion controls? Is that good?

Whether it ends up being revolutionary or not, when you innovate in hardware like the controller, it can't really be optional. So essentially, those people were praising Xbox for not innovating.
