I'm frustrated...

So... Nate Fox in a podcast said that only the 10% of the developers at Sucker Punch would be really excited to make a new Sly Cooper game. REALLY???? I get it that the other 90% left after 20 years but it's so frustrating and sad the way they treat their IP. A wonderful IP 😓. I hope they rethink about that... platformer games especially old IPs that need to be revived deserve a great return. Nowadays they underestimate the beauty of old but gold platformers.

While the player acquires a variety of unique abilities after absorbing each Conduit power in Infamous Second Son, the game intelligently maintains a few utilitarian abilities between each of them to assist with the player’s navigation around the city. So while some environment interactions or abilities are exclusively tied to a single power, others, such as the Hover ability, are shared in some form between all of them, with minor variations in terms of gameplay feel and duration.

Ghost of Tsushima Review:

Ghost of Tsushima comes from Sucker Punch Productions known for the Sly Cooper and Infamous series. The story follows Jin Sakai, the only surviving samurai of the Mongol invasion of Tsushima Island. Beaten and alone, Jin sets out to recruit any allies he has left on the island, so he may retake his homeland from the Mongol leader, Khotun Khan.

The technical aspects of this game feel like the natural next step for Sucker Punch. Infamous: Second Son felt like a PS4 launch title designed to take advantage of the controller’s new touchpad and the system’s ability to render massive amounts of particles in a way that didn’t add anything to the experience of the game. In the case of Ghost of Tsushima, the touchpad is implemented effortlessly to provide additional control options, and all of the leaves and other particles blowing in the wind are used to support the artistic design of the game’s world.

Ultimately, it’s the game’s atmosphere and gameplay that sell it for me. If exploring beautiful vistas and cutting down waves of enemies wasn’t so satisfying, the game wouldn’t work as well as it does because that’s the bulk of the entire experience. It sounds repetitive, but the gameplay loop becomes terribly addicting because the game constantly rewards you with new weapons, techniques, and cosmetics that all affect gameplay in a meaningful way. By the end, I could think creatively in many different combat scenarios because each new element served a practical purpose.

My biggest issue is how smaller moments are presented. The main story cutscenes are fantastic, but it becomes painfully obvious that they cut some corners elsewhere. Though side missions are fully voice acted, the camera is kept far away from the characters’ faces, so they don’t have to animate them. Or, when opening a gate from within an encampment, the screen fades to black and fades back in with the gate now open. They’re small but these moments break the immersion that the game otherwise executes near perfectly.

That said, once you start Ghost of Tsushima, I doubt you’ll want to finish it before exploring everything the game has to offer.

4/5 🧡

Was bored, so I decided to draw Nate Fox. 

I need more practice with trail effects before I would be willing to add on the unusual effect’s trail. just the logo for now!

High-level enemies in Infamous 2 frequently possess the ability to leap great distances or even construct high-level platforms that allow them to more easily attack the player. This is nicely circumvented by the introduction of the Lightning Tether ability the player gains near the end of the game, that allows them to quickly and effectively pull themselves to any point within range, thus making previously difficult enemies into minor inconveniences at best.

The enemies in Infamous Second Son will continue to come at the player relentlessly, unless there is only one or two remaining from a full horde, in which case they will offer themselves up in surrender. This A) allows combat to come to a close more quickly, without the player having to hunt down the last dregs of their opponent, and B) makes the enemies seem that much more human.
