PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima wowed a lot of people when it appeared at E3 earlier this year. Its gameplay demo was arguably the highlight of Sony's shaky show, but we've seen virtually nothing of the game since. And while the above video doesn't feature anything particularly new, it's interesting to hear creative director Nate Fox talk about just how much research has gone into making the title feel genuine.
"It's inspired by history but we're not recreating history stone by stone," Fox says. "That said we do want to take people back to Tsushima island, and the team's done a lot of research."
Fox continues: "Two trips to Tsushima island itself, we communicate a lot with experts in different fields from the way that a samurai would hold their katana, to how they would drink sake, to dialogue experts, to experts on religions of the time. We want to do everything we can to make the place feel transportative."
Not too long after Ghost of Tsushima was first revealed, developer Sucker Punch did say that it was working with Sony Japan Studio to help the game feel authentic. Clearly, the Washington based studio is taking this side of the project very seriously indeed.

@NintendoFan4Lyf I will play this game with japanese audio, with english audio, with japanese audio and black and white visuals and with english audio and black and white visuals. Well, that's the plan at least.
Very top of my list for most anticipated game right now. It looks amazing.
What are the chances this game actually comes out in 2019?
E3 demo looked immense, captured the genre perfectly, riding your horse through stormy rice fields, loved the one on one fight with the red leaves swirling on a sunset backdrop, very cinematic. Proper eye candy this one!! 🤪
@NintendoFan4Lyf Oh yeah you are right. I forgot it was fan made. Hopefully, if it gains much attention, Sucker Punch will add it with a post release update.
Hype! This looks so exciting. It if it feels authentic it’ll all the better. Samurai Warriors and AC: Unity benefit so much from being authentic, so I hope this matches up.
@hulkie I wouldn't rule it out entirely.
This is looking great.
Ghost of Tsushima looks really awesome, we can trust Sucker Punch, they are really talented.
After guerilla, now it's time for sucker punch to raise
PS4 is loaded as it goes into the sunset .. I expect nothing less than a 10 👊🏾
If they pull this off.......HNNNNNNNG
Where is that "word up son" guy when you need him?
Who needs RDR2 this is what i want to play. 😁
When is it coming again?
I'd love to play the Jap dub Eng Sub, and black and white...
This looks absolutely fantastic. This is my most anticipated game. Right now it even edges out Cyberpunk, Red Dead 2, and The Last of Us 2. I love it when games are so well researched and that’s so refreshing to hear the take on the Mongols being portrayed as enemies with depth and complexity.
@Tulio517 @Enuo @hulkie It should still be releasing sometime in 2019, last I heard.
@Ludens92 You have to summon him first @playstation1995
@Jriibz @wiiware @PS_Nation Sucker Punch, already did an amazing job with Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS, looking forward to this new IP from them !
@Th3solution @NomNom @Flaming_Kaiser @Tops @fuzzy833 @RogerRoger @oatmealwarrior92 @oats-81 @Jaz007 @Wunters @NoxAeturnus @stevenfins @NintendoFan4Lyf I've never been this majorly hyped for a Samurai game before, looking forward to seeing more videos and eventually playing it myself.
Still waiting on more detail of the actual combat. I still say it looked button-mashy, and if it is, I won't bother... no matter how pretty it looks.
