Sucker Punch dispels any kind of doubts about possible animal violence not necessary in the video game. On sale in July for PlayStation 4.
Jin's horse will not die in Ghost of Tsushima. The companion animal of the protagonist in the new adventure of Sucker Punch for PS4 will be invincible, as confirmed by the creative director of the studio, Jason Connell, thus avoiding something unnecessary in his opinion in the context of gameplay.
"Your horse is not going to die," says Connell in a meeting with US Gamer. “Your horse will be scared and can escape. You may not be able to make him return for a short, short period of time, but nobody will be able to kill him in combat, or in gameplay, "he says. You will not be able to hunt animals, also, because the animals are in charge of participating in the game as one more element of the ecosystem: they are alive, they can guide the player (like the birds, who will go to hidden locations) through their movements … We can also pet the foxes, as we saw in the State of Play a few days ago.
The actor who plays Jin is an animal lover
In addition, he anticipates an aspect of the personality of the actor played by Jin, the protagonist of this adventure set in 13th century feudal Japan on the island of Tsushima: "Our actor has a sharp and sweet sensibility for him", referring to his horse. "He cares about animals and people, and that is reflected in his interpretation."
You can pet the fox
Sucker Punch believes that the game will push PS4 to the limit and they are convinced that it will be a "very challenging" experience, where we can easily die, and whose map will be of very large dimensions. On the other hand, we already know the approximate duration of the game.
Ghost of Tsushima will be released worldwide exclusively for the PS4 family of consoles this July 17. You can read here the evolution of the Sony studio from its foundation until now; In this other article, we break down all the details of the game's extensive extended gameplay.
