He lied about fast travel being instantaneous because once he fast traveled, two unskippable 5 second ads pop up played in my face so in reality it was 11 seconds

additional there are some new animations for sheath the sword, a few more animations for stealth kills and a new one for blocking arrows, none of the reviewers talked about this

This was a really good review. Accurate , concise and honest. This is the gamespot I subscribed to more than a decade ago. I’m glad you guys are back with quality reviews.

After buying a ps5 and a new tv, compared to my old tv and on ps4 there definitely is a huge improvement, when playing in a complete black space it feels like I’m playing a movie

This felt.. very professional? Like it was hella thorough and genuine

“Watch me travel across this island here” Me: proceeds to see an advertisement for 30 seconds.. Is that fast?

It’s awesome. Anyone that’s on the fence, don’t be.. Treat yourself.

I can’t recommend the base game enough. The DLC is well worth it, as well. Sucker Punch gave us lots of free upgrades along the way, and they earned my money. The DLC is a little more of the same, and I’m happy to support it. Needed? No. Wanted? Yes.

i love the sound of the swords clashing coming out of the dual sense. and when you play the flute, it feels like you are actually holding a playing flute. you feel the vibrations of each note played. so cool

Are you kidding me? I’d even pay double for a masterpiece game like this. This game and red dead redemption 2 are the only games that I’d have no problems paying extra to experience that again

Thank you. I was confused with all of the different editions and needed something to clear it up. Great video!

I got it for the Ps5 and the sensation using the adaptive trigger while pulling the bow was awesome 👏🏻 🏹🤯🤯🤯

The most important update would be to have a custom slot where I can save and load my lists of customized outfits with a simple scroll wheels like we can in RDR2, instead of going through the menu and pick one by one EVERYTIME I want to change my outfit. Cause Jin's outfits could play a significant role on the outcome of the mission. And even if they don't, I simply like to dress for the occassion, but I want to do it quickly.

This game quickly became one of my favs, beautifully rendered and excellent writing, combat and gameplay. I got a hard disk copy of the DC version for PS5-for 25 bucks at my local GameStop and I look forward to replaying with the upgrades and Iki Island expansion.

The 3D audio, dual sense, and haptic features alone are worth the $10 for me. Honestly, I've had a hard time transitioning back to games that don't use the controller features ever since I've played Returnal. Hell Plagues Tale had some great use of it as well. It's insane how noticeable of a difference it makes for gameplay immersion to be honest. At least for me. I absolutely LOVE the vibration that moves in sync to the wind and matches the frequency and amplitude of the audio. If the wind goes from left to right, your controller does the same when vibrating lol. And if youre galloping and have wind at the same time, the controller combines both the gallop and wind vibrations incredibly well (vibrates with direction of wind while also adding the 'thunk' of the hooves). Then the tension built up in the Triggers while also vibrating with pulses when using the grappling hook to pull down debris....just absolutely love it! People maybe mad about the $10 upgrade for PS5 but let's be honest here: Ghost of Tsuhima mixed with Legends at release, then gave us NG+ with even MORE content to unlock, was $60. Then you have this DLC (that's got a fair amount of content to say the least) with the PS5 upgrade makes that total price $90. In reality, most publishers would have easily separated Legends into another package and even made some of the cosmetics into microtransactions. Yeah, not much to complain about here lol. I'm willing to support games of this caliber and quality even more.

I'm still on the PS4! After the update, the first thing I noticed was the hard seem just a little bit more hard. And everything about the controller was smoother and faster. Now! I didn't think to take a screenshot at the time, (mainly because I didn't believe what I was seeing. And after trying to interact with it... still found it to be amazing) was a cat curled up on a rock at the hot springs (in Act one, because I decide to replay the game from scratch again after the updated) in two different places. Ha! Besides that thing look more sharp and clearer. And the pace of the game seem faster. I had to really be aware of my reaction time. I'm dam enjoying it. Anyone else seem and cats, or otherwise new?

The haptic feedback in this is incredibly well done, it's one of the best PS5 haptic games in my opinion

The sound coming out of the controller comes out even without the directors cut

Dammit. Might have to get this/waste 30$ & I just beat the game. This is one of my favorite games of last gen if not my fav. The island alone & improvements are really worth it for this title.

I just got GoT Director's cut for my PS5 last week. I am a diehard PC fanboy but my god if this isn't the most beautiful game I've ever played. Glad to see the amount of improvement and effort went into that, something I wish (my favorite people) fromsoft did more often. Also great review man. Very thorough and helped me appreciate the studio all the more. I had no idea I was getting a better experience with the Japanese Dub.

This was a fantastic review. I'd like to hear more from this gentleman in the future!

Fantastic review. Love that you reached out to Sucker Punch over something as small as a transition

It’s probably a good thing I haven’t gotten this game for PS4. There’s enough improvements in the PS5 version to make me want to play that over the PS4 original any day.

One of the best reviews ive ever seen. Take my like and give this guy more games to review.

what a fine detail you mentioned, appreciated

I have not played Ghost of Tsushima before but when the director cut announced I had to get it when it came out and it looks insane on an oled with a ps5.

Played it at release and wanted to play it again now, so the upgrade was perfect for me even though it’s a bit expensive.

Damn, this was a really easy to understand, informative video. Impressive Gamespot thanks!

Idec to be honest. This is probably the first game I'll play on ps5 and I'll love it.

I bought the game as soon as it came out on my PS4. I got the PS5 not long after I finished it. Now that it’s out, I bought the directors cut and it was definitely worth it. Very replay-able

Playing with the audio in Japanese really makes it immersive and somewhat cozy too

So the Iki Island expansion map can be played off line along with the rest of the game as long as you have the director's cut on a physical disc? In other words the full game plus Iki Island is on the disc with no DLC required?

The load times for the fast travel are like this on PS4 for me to

I am totally in awe with how amazing days gone plays on my PS5!

3:20 speaking of which, did they fix the ammo glitch when entering hot springs?

question: is the iki island dlc on disc or dlc code? want to know bc plan to rent on gamefly as i already own the base game

Good job I like to know all of the under the hood changes going on with the games this is exactly what I was looking for

They should have done fade out/in for the scene instead of just a sudden black. That would have helped for a much smoother transition. Also they should have done performance at 1080p/1440p with a 120hz instead of 60. That would be silky smooth awesome

Finally a review talking about the 10 dollar upgrade nd how its not much of a diffrances if you already played on ps5 patch

With the improvement especially to the combat I think it’s worth it

I bought the bundle that came with this masterpiece , and I can’t stop playing since.

I just begin of the game but I really enjoyed , always interested me samurai life and now you can over to the time where people giving big respect each other.

Playing the game for the first time with this edition and i have to say I’m glad I did

I already beat the game on ps4 and loved every moment of it so I have no problem buying the new version for my ps5 just to have an excuse it play it again. (Even if it does cost $40 in Canada ooof 😩)

The new armor sets are amazing. If you are a playstation fan you will see why. No spoilers

Really well done review. I for one am debating whether or not to trade in my original Ghost of Tsushima for a physical directors cut

Is the camera off in the DC? I feel like there are times when the camera is way too close to Jin’s back.

just curious if I should pick resolution mode or performance mode as I have a 1440p Monitor.

Just got the directors cut and my god in loving this 60 FPS and new content

Great video and explanation thank you

Im not gonna lie the increase fast travel time you hardly see the little loading screen tid bits lol. I almost miss them.

I noticed with my playthrough on PS5 that the 3D audio should have been more prominent

I just played the Directors Cut, definitely PS5 native version, and the cut shown at 5:05 was not there, they seem to have found a solve for that.

Anyone jumping into this game now for the 1st time is in for a real treat

I’m glad I decided to wait for the PS5 version of this game!

The pc release got announced today so I came to this video to find out what was different in Director’s Cut. Japanese lip sync being fixed is huge

Is japan disc version has english support for menu or subtitle?

So you’re saying that Sony’s $10 charge makes sense, but may not be worth getting for games you’ve played already on PS4, which makes this even more complicated since the DLC is actually new. This is why Death Stranding is doing it better, you’re getting both the new DLC and the upgrades together for $10.

Great review! Thanks!

Dammmm they need to do a Onimusha game like this ....that would be so dope

Thanks a lot, great video

The PS5 upgrade is absolutely worth the price. You get the resolution increase, the really well done haptic feedback, the new island, and the upgraded menu system that is insanely fast. Like as quick as Ratchet & Clank Rift apart. And the Japanese lip syncing

I love this game it’s phenomenal piece of art

Didn't have a ps4 but have a ps5 and I was trying to decide on picking up a cheap used ps4 copy or get the new ps5 directors cut. This video helped me decide to go with the ps5 version. I can't wait to dig in to the game!

This is the video worth watching for full explanation of why one should upgrade to PS5 version.

I wish they would have made the graphic like what they Showed us on E3

Are the upgrades only on the new island?

A good review on an amazing game. Will buy it again when I get PS5 cos it was that good & can't wait to play it in such high resolution

7 days of lockdown to go, i'm sold

From my previous base PS4 experience, it's pretty big.

Imagine they hired Kazuma Kiryu's voice actor in GoT2 being as main antagonist.

I do already have the PS4 disc ver and considering to sell it and buy the Director cuts edition but I'd assume the DLC is given via game code... right?

Does anyone know if I will still be able to play the standard edition of this game I’ve I have it on disc? I have just ordered the disc for standard edition but am now worrying I won’t be able to play because it was removed from the play store? Someone please let me know asap

i have the ps4 version of the game and want to upgrade it to the ps5, do i just get the ps4 to ps5 upgrade and will it be available in stores?

I really don't mind hopping back into this game, there isn't much else out atm. Good luck to those still searching for a ps5!

The graphics and loading speed of 'Ghost of Tsushima - Director's Cut are much more advanced. Ghost of Tsushima - Director's Cut, like Sekiro, is the ultimate in melee and sword fighting action. The sword fighting wars on Iki Island showed what real fashion was. It's really fun. Especially pets are cute. The 'Assault' was also cool, like the Geumjama, the assault cavalry of the Goguryeo, and the Gaema Musa of Goguryeo, who charged on horseback and destroyed the enemy's military camp. And the enemies of Ghost of Tsushima - Director's Cut have become much more powerful. It's like Souls. Like Sekiro and Dark Souls, the difficulty has been increased. So it got even more fun.

Definitely worth it with the haptic feedback alone

My 4k monitor is gonna love this

Please reply me.. how can I download director,s cut on ps4? Is the bonus content on ps4 include the directors cut?

does anyone for the love of God know how to break the guard of the new enemy brutes who only do heavy attacks with a blade wit two ends? cant find it anywhere on the internet. everything basically jus acts like they dont exist and im getting extremely frustrated

This is the video I was looking for.

Did this come in the deluxe versions?

Didnt notice really any graphical upgrade

If Sucker Punch did a remaster of the original Tenchu franchise that would be incredible. Those games look dated at hell now 20 yrs later but they hold a really special place in a lot of gamers hearts.

They should bring smart delivery for resolution !

Exactly what I thought. They kept saying it’ll be 4k 60. It was already patched to 1800p 60 last year. Very tough sell this

I have the PS4 version. If I buy the $30 upgrade does it change to the ps5 version, and how will I know? Theis whole thing is confusing. Thx

I'm glad this came to PS+. Loving the game so far and am so amazed at how beautiful and carefully crafted the world is. Truly a work of art.

Never played it before, but I think it's one of the best game's I've played in year's

First experience of this game is with the DC. It’s blowing my mind, best game I’ve ever played

If bought the ps4 digital version of this, do I get the director cut for 29?

it was worth it for me. I had purchased the original base edition PS4 version but never played it further than the prolouge. I was playing other games at the time and was busy with work and just never got into it fully. So now I have a PS5 and for me the upgrade was worth it because Um basically playing thru the game for the 1st time. If I had already spent 20-50 hours on the game I might not pay to upgrade because I might not play it for another 20-50 hours just to do it all over again. But since its going to be all pretty much new to me its worth the jump

They need to make a part two or do more updates

I’m glad I waited to play this game on ps5 I was really tempted to play this game when it first came out on my old ps4

They got $30 from me. Game looks great with higher res, runs buttery smooth 60fps, 3D audio, & dualsense brings in another level of immersion. It’s worth it for me

Does the ps5 disc of directors cut include everything in the original?

can u still play the dlc the island on ps4 or do u need ps5

Two days a go i got a speeding ticket of €300, there's no point wondering if 30 eur is worth it, in the face of a weird cost like that. Ghost of Tsushima is a 10/10 game, remember that we got Legends a whole big mode free of charge initially!!

i started playing the ps4 version when i got my ps5.. i was late asf but can i transfer my progress from the ps4 version to the ps5 version?

So how many new ps5 games are there? Or are the games just mostly upgrades versions of the ps4 games.
