Badass Way to End a Duel
Ghost of Tsushima looks like the open-world dream of all fans of Samurai movies. The absolutely beautiful setting, immersive gameplay, and a deep customization system already has me drooling at the mouth, but we canโt forget the brutally cinematic combat the game seems to possess. If you checked out their gameplay trailer, you probably noticed that Jin flicks off the blood on his katana before sheating it. The cool thing is, apparently this badass move is something that is completely in your control.
According to VG247โs interview with Ghost of Tsushima developer Jason Connell, there is a button to control the whole thing.
โIt can be done in a couple of different ways,โ Connell said. โThereโs actually a function or a button that lets you just stow and draw the sword, and if thereโs blood on the sword, heโll do one of the cool, flick-like actions. I believe he did that one inside the State of Play demo, where he actually just pressed the button. Thereโs also an automatic one if youโre standing around for quite a while, heโll automatically stow it. So, we have kind of both. I think thereโs actually even in some of the flourishes of melee combat, heโll just do a quick one.โ
Iโm super hyped for this Ghost of Tsushima. I find that the biggest want for me in open-world games is their lack of amazing cinematic moments. Of course, there are forced cutscenes, but I dream of a game where I could replicate badass movie moments live on a living, changing world in a unexpected way. So far this game feels like the only thing that might come close to that.
