Ghost Of Tsushima Has Plenty Of "Broad Commercial Appeal"

Sucker Punch never officially mentioned (at least to my knowledge) the precise size of the map of the game, but we can still obtain a rough measurement. First of all, we rebuilt the map in a handy image format, since the strategy game tournaments|Https://Strategynewsbase.Com/ never shows the full th


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


The strong Japanese flavor, mixed with elements that are extremely rooted in popular culture worldwide, are exactly what gives Ghost of Tsushima the edge to overcome the challenge of being a new IP. It's a strong, memorable concept evoking intense and epic images, and it's easily comparable in mass "broad appeal" to things like space marines or World War II soldiers. It's also not as overdone in western gaming, which is certainly a perk and not a liabil


For those looking for an even more thorough analysis, however, research firm SuperData has quickly made a name for itself in video games due to the company's willingness to examine more online-oriented data like microtransaction sales and the like. Recently, SuperData finally released its findings for the September 2016 period, and it appears that the dominance of some of gaming's biggest titles will not be broken easily - Pokemon GO , Destiny , and League of Legends topped the cash grossing charts for mobile, console, and PC gaming respectiv


Crossing over $1,000,000 in total prize pool is an impressive accomplishment, but the amount of games is worth noting as well. In 2016 ten games eclipsed the $1 M total, six did it in 2013, and the first broke onto the scene in 2005 ( Counter-Strik

Sucker Punch was also featured on last year’s PSX speculation article, and then proceeded to remain outside of the spotlight until October, with an in-engine trailer and brief gameplay tease that stole the show during Paris Games Week. Ghost of Tsushima is also guaranteed to have a presence on Friday night and during Saturday’s panels, and considering Sucker Punch’s release schedule for their past few titles, fans could end up seeing quite a bit of this ancient Japanese title.


Will Ghost of Tsushima become an absolute smash hit and Sony's next big IP? We'll see. It'll depend a lot on the quality of the game and on how much money the house of PlayStation will spend on pushing its promotion. That being said, its Japanese flavor is far from being a handicap. It's probably the one element that can set it apart from today's overcrowded market, and make it s


These details come from eSports Earnings, which tracks tournament and league prize pools along with player earnings. While there's no guarantee that the numbers are wholly accurate or all-encompassing, they are without a doubt representative. Here's the list of games that have crossed the impressive $1,000,000 threshold in 2017 (so f


Perhaps the best news is that every game from 2016 has made the 2017 list, although Call of Duty is represented by Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare this year instead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in 2016. Creating communities and scenes that are lasting, where players can feel like participation isn't hugely risky to their long-term success, is and will continue to be eSports' most important challe

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
