Sucker Punch actually got the Kurosawa estate's blessing for its Ghost of Tsushima filter

Ghost of Tsushima is nearly out, which means it's time for Sucker Punch to really start promoting it. The filter previously known as "Cinema Mode" that was clearly paying homage to old school Japanese films is now officially titled "Kurosawa Mode," and they have the receipts to prove that they actually did their homework to earn that moniker.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, creative directors Nate Fox and Jason Connell state that Sanjuro was perhaps their biggest influence for the game, especially in regards to the standoff mechanic that Tsushima features. But they went a step further and actually reached out to the Kurosawa estate (influential director Akira Kurosawa passed away in 1998) to get their blessing for the cinema mode, naming it in his honor.

Connell says that the filter is a lot more than just a black and white tint, noting, "We actually did some research on the curves that may have existed on that kind of film that [Kurosawa] might've used." The team also added in film grain, a more dramatic wind aesthetic and deepened the black tones while brightening the white tones. Stay tuned for our review closer to launch!

Looks interesting, reminds me of Legend of Zelda BOTW.

The only thing is its by the guys that made infamous, even though I enjoyed those games a lot they were quite repetitive "infamous second sun" was an impressive title graphically better than most PS4 games and thats not an easy thing to do.

Reviews come out Tuesday. Should be interesting.

I’m super hyped...a little worried about “filler” content... but hyped. If the rumors about the side quests are true (that they’re better than TW3’s) than :heart:

I’m off the entire week after it’s release, so I’ll be boning this one like KAC does people’s mums.
 
This game is the reason why I didn’t wait for stupid Amazon to send me the C9 and ordered it from another store. :runaway:

Mine is unlocking at 9pm PST on Thursday. Sort of an advantage to being on the left coast.
 
Holding off for now. It looks great, I just can't get hyped about it. No real reason....

I think you just got hooked/burned out on Nioh 2. This game really reminds me of the old Tenchu games, which I absolutely loved. Stealth games (splinter cell) are awesome, stealth games where you are a ninja doubly so.

Can’t wait to see all the ways I can eliminate a whole camp of people without alerting anyone.

That could very well be. I've never been any good at switching gears lol. And from what I've seen Ghosts isn't going to disappoint you. I'm sure I'll wind up buying. This isn't the first game I couldn't get excited about but wound up loving later on - HZD was the last and that was a heck of an experience.
 
So what is up with some youtubers already telling people not to buy? Some kind of publicity stunt? This guy might be melodramatic, but he's been around the block a few times regarding information about gaming.
