Trying on the new 4K trailer posted by Sony, it actually looks like Ghost of Yōtei was designed not solely to showcase the ability of the PS5, but additionally to point out off the newly introduced $700 PS5 Professional. It’s surprising to me that Sony didn’t embody this recreation within the PS5 Professional announcement, whilst a tiny teaser, to point out off one thing completely new and superb trying, working on the dear console.
In response to Sucker Punch, that is the primary recreation they’ve constructed from “the bottom up” for PS5. And I anticipate Ghost of Yōtei will take full benefit of the PS5 Professional. Right here’s what Sucker Punch needed to say about engaged on the PS5.
That is additionally Sucker Punch’s first recreation constructed from the bottom up for PlayStation 5, and we’re excited to construct on the visible basis we established in Ghost of Tsushima by making the world really feel much more actual. We now have large sightlines that allow you to look far throughout the surroundings, entire new skies that includes twinkling stars and auroras, much more plausible motion from wind on grass and vegetation, and extra enhancements we’ll share sooner or later.
