The Ghost is this legendary warrior that he's evolving into,' Connell said. He's always at his core, his heart of hearts, a samurai. We don't spec you out and suddenly you can't play as a samurai. On the stealth, if you wanted to jump off the roof and start fighting like a samurai, you could totally do that. All his training, using the Katana, that stuff is buried in him deep. 'When he's a Ghost, he can turn around and play as a samurai because he's always a samurai. We don't make you choose between ,” Connell said. But the reality is that even as you have gotten to some story moments, you can still play the game as this Samurai, you may just be more potent or more powerful.

“There's definitely important story moments that are more reflective of this change than others. One of those is the flexibility in playstyle - the State of Play showcased Jin fighting as both a samurai and as the titular Ghost.īut these aren’t distinct modes players will be forced to play or spec Jin into throughout the game the naming merely represents different facets of Jin as a character and fighter, emblematic of the 'evolution' Connell referred to for Jin's character. Whether it’s the black-and-white film grain mode, Japanese voice track, color changes for gear, and more, Sucker Punch is obviously finding ways for players to tailor Jin’s story to their preferences. That's not to say Ghost of Tsushima will be lacking in ways for players to choose how they want to play.

And not everybody's going to love the fact that you're going to challenge an assumption that's made upon your life,” he explained. And then at some point, because some events happen, in this case a war, you have to challenge those things. There's expectations of you, the way you should perform. “It definitely plays with the notion of, you're born and raised into this certain way of life. And, according to Connell, it’s a story defined by the very human challenges many of us face. With Jin and Ghost of Tsushima, it appears the studio is aiming to tell a more singular story of Jin’s life. Second Son, Sucker Punch’s most recent full release, had players decide whether protagonist Delsin Rowe would be a benevolent, life-saving hero or a carefree, and careless when it came to lives, antihero. We really wanted the story to reflect his transformation.' “He doesn't flip flop back and forth, it muddied it up for us.

“We thought about because we had the karma system in, but we realized it was more important to us that we wanted to tell a human story of someone who is this way and has to evolve into something else, versus transform completely into something else,” Connell explained.
