Ghost of Tsushimawas the perfect curtain call for the PlayStation 4 era and Sucker Punch Productions had the rare honor to do it. The developers helped usher the console generation withInfamous: Second Sonand closed the chapter with a new franchise that was well-received.
Unfortunately, the developers couldn’t capture the same lightning twice given the hefty development time they are taking for its upcoming project. The gaming community is anticipating a sequel to the 2020 samurai title, and their expectations could be spot on.
Ghost of Tsushima Was the Perfect Swan Song for the PS4
Game development can be time-consuming and complicated which is why the developers took all the time they needed to transition fromInfamous: Second SontoGhost of Tsushima. Both games have achieved rare feats for a developer where one was released in the early years of the console life cycle and the other being at the tail end. Jason Connell served as the creative and art director andspoke of the differences between the two games.
That’s that’s the I think one of the ones that have stuck with Sucker Punch even long before I came here, it just being this very fluid experience. I would add over that though, all Sucker Punch games have always been artistically interesting or unique have an interesting style.
The gaming community collectively decided that the samurai game deserved the award for best art direction duringThe Game Awardsof 2020 but isstill upset that it didn’t bring home the Game of the Year award.
The last game it was pushing on the particle effects and making people go ‘Holy shit, you can do that with particles? That’s insane’ to now using those particles, again in a completely new way to exaggerate the beauty of an island and the lighting and just really to make people stop and look at the world and be like, how did they do this?
Connell spoke proudly of the general distinction of art direction between these two projects which showcases the talent of the studio.
