The Last Of Us Part II, Ghost Of Tsushima And Dreams Will Have Panels At PlayStation Experience

Even though SuperData's reports confirm more of the same kind of results video game fans have come to expect in 2016, there are still a number of interesting insights to be gleaned from what the firm has found. Bolstered by sales that were stronger than Destiny 's initial launch period, the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron in September rocketed Bungie's shooter to the top of the console charts over traditionally dominant fall releases like FIFA

One of the interesting aspects of an open-world game is the size of its map. If you have played inFamous: Second Son , which is Sucker Punch's latest full-fledged open world game (alongside its spin-off First Light ), the map may have felt large because it was a quite dense urban environment, but it really wasn't one of the biggest open worlds out there. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even cl

The map displayed above measures roughly 30 km by 70 km, and according to Wikipedia , the whole island covers an area of 273.6 square miles or 708.7 square kilometers. It can pretty much fit two cities the size of Seattle, and that's just counting the area covered by land. Considering the irregular nature of the island, it feels even bigger in compari

On the mobile platform, the continued dominance of Pokemon GO is also the most unsurprising, as the title's status of global phenomenon has not been in jeopardy despite the development team's slow response time in updating or implementing key design features. Pokemon GO sits comfortably ahead of its compatriots on mobile, much like League of Legends does its competitors on PC - World of Warcraft is the closest to Riot's cash cow, with the nearest genre competitor being DOTA 2 a full six ranks behind Leag

Since it's an island you may think it's fairly compact, and you would be wrong. Tsushima is a big chunk of land. As a matter of fact, if you exclude the four main islands of click through the next internet site Japanese archipelago (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido), Tsushima is the fourth largest in the country. Here is a handy

There is a team in Japan that helped a "huge deal" with the trailer and made sure that the representation was respectful of Japanese culture. Katami-san mentioned something that was removed but did not specify what it

While the main character in Ghost of Tsushima is originally a samurai, the end of the announcement trailer shows clearly that he is going to take up the mantle of the ninja. Not only does the concept of "ghost" make it clear, but at the end we see him in ninja garb, using shinobi tools, and stealth to fight off the Mongol a

The developer also shared that the environments shown in the teaser trailer of the game were in-game, and one rather wide shot shows a very extensive vista. This appears to indicate that they haven't scaled the world down all that much. Assuming that the mountain in the picture is the highest peak on the island (Mount Yatate) seen across Aso Bay, we could be looking at 1:5 to 1:10 scale, but that's just me trying to eyeball it, so take it with a massive grain of s

The map above below measures about 18 km by 25 km. According to Wikipedia , Seattle covers an area of 142.5 square miles (369.2 square kilometers). Yep. That's 100 times bigger than the map in the game. Of course, that kind of size would have probably been really impractical for the game, and populating it with models and content would have taken a much longer time without using procedural tri

In a market as complex as the one that video games are developed, marketed, and sold in, the research data regarding their respective successes or failures is equally complicated. For most gamers, the reports from the NPD Group, one of the most respected analysts when it comes to sales figures, are often where they glean trends in video games - for instance, the June NPD report from this year suggested console sales are slowing down , while a report on last month indicated that NBA 2K17 was doing well in sal

Join Naughty Dog and the cast of The Last of Us Part II as they discuss the making of the cutscene teaser trailer that was revealed just a few short weeks ago at Paris Games Week. Director and writer, Neil Druckmann, co-writer Halley Gross, and key members of the game’s cast discuss the writing process, casting, performance capture, and more. For those attending the event, there will also be a signing session following the pa

Interestingly, Nate Fox asked the audience at the end of the panel if they would be interested in playing the game with Japanese dialogue, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Fox followed up with "noted." Looks like my wish might actually come tr

Netflix had a major presence at SDCC 2017. Their biggest film was David Ayer's Bright, a fantasy police thriller where Will Smith's hardened cop is forced to team up with Joel Edgerton's heavily-makeup-ed

After an ethereal teaser last month, the new trailer provides a brief introduction to this plot, but is more about the general style, showing the creativity of former SNL director Dave McCary and drawing attention to its great revi
