Ghostwire: Tokyo - a new action adventure from The Evil Within studio

Needs more chromatic aberration.

Open world horror game. Also known as open world jump scares with hardly any lighting to hide console graphics limitations.

Um I don't thing this aims at being much of a horror game. It seems to be more of a fast paced first person action. Fast FPS with magic instead of guns.
The game looks sweet IMO, and this developer's The Evil Within 2 was one of the most underrated and overlooked gems of recent years.

Leaked released date points towards March 24th.

If that's true, then either they'll do a compressed but full all-out marketing campaign on that, or they have given up on the game completely and release a stillbirth.

It is Microsoft releasing a Sony exclusive, they may not be jumping to pump a lot of money into advertising it. But if it's coming out in March, as we get closer to its release I'm sure we'll see more coverage of it, and ads playing before YouTube videos. Probably see even more stuff when the timed exclusivity is up and it's coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Those slovenly folks from Rock Paper Shotgun have briefly released a preview of the game and pulled it immediately again, since the preview embargo won't lift until February 4th.

But some snippets could be gathered:

Journalist Alice Bell, who prematurely released a text about Ghostwire: Tokyo, attended a closed presentation of the game, which showed about 30 minutes of gameplay.

The preview was removed from public access shortly after publication , but the details from it managed to be “merged” into the network.

• In the center of the plot of the game is the Japanese Akito, who was possessed by the spirit of a demon hunter. Akito uses this to free Tokyo from the evil youkai spirits that have taken over the city. A ghost that has moved into Akito gives him advice, talks about yokai and encourages him.
• Akito's enemies include headless schoolgirls with bows and arrows, women with very long arms armed with large scissors, faceless businessmen with umbrellas.
• In battle, the main character uses a special technique called Weaving (weaving, weaving). With its help, he strikes the spirits, parries their attacks and draws the essence from them with a golden thread.
• Akito will be able to use various elemental attacks, kill spirits with stealth, and use weapons such as archery. The arrows will run out.
• There will be boss battles in the game.
• Damage will not be fixed with numbers and health bars. Instead, the spirits will change appearance: umbrellas will be torn, and so on.
• Residents of Tokyo will wander the streets as ghosts. Akito would need to capture them and place them in katashiro paper dolls, then send them out of the city via payphones to restore their human form.
• You can buy katashiro and replenish other supplies in stores where floating youkai cats trade instead of people.
• In general, the Rock, Paper, Shotgun journalist was interested in Ghostwire: Tokyo: the game, in her opinion, looks "cool and very strange, unusual." In spirit, Ghostwire: Tokyo reminded her of 1990s and 2000s action films like Blade.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is coming to PC and PS5. Judging by the game's page in the PS Store, the release will take place on March 24-25.

This will not sell well.

After playing both of the evil within i don't have any hope this will be good.

You lost me at "from Evil Within Studio".

 

[Wunderbar]

Ugh, so it's an open world game?

Use bat-hook to climb buildings (means the map is open and huge), purify corrupt torii-gates to clear areas from demons (basically bandit outposts from a typical open world action game), free untethered souls (collectibles). There's even a batman vision.

Got 4 epileptic seizures watching this trailer.

Wasn't Evil Within considered crap?

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Terenty]

I still don't get if you are supposed to make these hand gestures manually, like with a mouse or a stick, or it works as a standard shooter just with fancy animations?

If it's the former it could be pretty cool

Looks atmospheric but I'm not quite convinced on the whole Italian communicating. Let's wait for reviews.

 

[Modron]

This game has just about the least attractive deluxe version I've seen in a quite a few years, 20 dollars for 5 skins and a weapon. Bethesda going to Bethesda.

 

[Curratum]

What manner of discount Death Stranding is this?

 

[Morgoth]

 

[toughasnails]

It looks p fun imo even if it seems to follow the usual open world tropes. But the combat seems to be really fun and setting is interesting enough.
It's a shame that the game seems to be sent to die but it is not surprising given its peculiar situation (PS5 exclusive from a now MS-owned company).

Prey was released to be sent to die too, but look how it slowly gained cult status.
