[@TThatsWhatSheSaid1]

@Demon Slayer Even if it's not, I could guarantee they'll re-release it for the PS5. Might do what they did with AC: Black Flag and let you buy the game on the new console for $10 instead of full price, provided you have a copy on the previous console.

2 years later, still arguably one of the best games ever made. The fighting styles, customization, story, exploration and visuals are almost flawless. Somehow they make an really hard game, extremely playable and not wildly frustrating. Packed with content but not too overwhelming. The attention to detail in every aspect is amazing. 10/10

I really like the idea of not having a mini-map. It always feels like I'm looking more at a mini map, then actually exploring and looking at the world. 👍

[@fabiangarcia1790]

Aleks yeah but I’m always getting lost when I turn off the mini map so I hope the wind guided me well

[@antiicon423]

Fabian Garcia sucker punch took nearly 7 years to develop this game, so I trust the mechanics are good

[@robmiljus]

Hopefully other game developers will follow this lead in future games. Makes games more immersive for us serious gamers which obviously is a good thing.

[@RemingtonSteel]

Need a mini map!! Games that have a shitty one(Bethesda) and games with an awesome one(witcher 3), have a huge entertainment gap IMO. Give players the option to turn it off. Borderlands 1 had no mini map and was hard to navigate. The Remastered newer one did and it wad a HUGE improvement. Also development time doesnt mean that they figures out a good way to find your way around. Many games takes years and cant even get the basics down.

[@dice1378]

The first time I experienced something like that was in AC Odyssey, there was a normal mode with a marker for your next target, allways visible. I choose the other mode where you have to find your target with the info you have, like " NPC is in a house on a hill south of the market district" then you send your falcon up and search with his eyes until you see a gold circle where your target is. After you found it you got the marker again. At first I thought I could never play such a huge open world without clear markers etc. But all you need to do is look at the world map and allways keep south, east, nord and west in mind and look at the areas names, this way I only needed to check yt for one location, it felt pretty satisfying and immersive and you REALLY get to know the world

[@zackfair_og]

Fun historical fact: three failed attacks against Japan is what started the Mongol empire's decline, and it got the Khan depressed. The mongols would later try to invade Vietnam and fail again even though Vietnam was much weaker. (Seeing a pattern here with Vietnam xD)

[@jayveeeee]

Super interesting, thanks for sharing! I like to imagine they ran into too many Jin Sakai's ;)

[@uglahboi6074]

So weak that after the Meiji restoration Japan took them over in their first act of imperialism in 400 years

[@CamaradaGagarin]

i could add some more details on this historical fact but i fear it might even be spoiler of the game. Its about Kami Kaze, the "Divine Winds". But i suggest as a further reading, not now that the game is about to launch...

[@skyblue2708]

The flute could be an item that changes the time of day. Watch him play the flute as the time moves around him, similar to the cigar in phantom pain or something. Would make sense since it's a stealth game, might want to approach a camp at night without waiting for the time to change.

[@jayveeeee]

That's a really good guess tbh

[@The_Primary_Axiom]

Or meditation in witcher 😀. I think you’re though. Flute could be time pass to make it night or day.

[@big_panda7686]

Does dynamic weather system mean like the weather and day/night cycle isn't driven by the story but it changes randomly itself. Like how in spiderman ps4 the weathers and times were only changing bc of the story.

[@_TheJesterShade]

It looks like the Icon for the Stances might say what they're for. Earth is swords crossed, meaning it might be great for fighting swordsmen. Water is a shield and spear so it might be best for that. The unknown stance looks to be best against Pole-arms without a shield. This is assuming that they have a stance that is best used against every weapon combo in game.

[@jayveeeee]

These are some cool ideas! I like the idea of sticking with the elements of Water and Stone, perhaps there's a fire stance somewhere too?

[@koreancowboy42]

Is that true tho? I haven't noticed aside from Nioh stances which is balance (equal amount) , high (strength stance) and low guard (fast stance)

[@RL-]

You were thinking along the right lines! X for swordsmen (swords crossed), O to represent shieldsmen (shield shape), triangle to represent spearmen (the tip of the spear) and square brutes (the shape of their big shields or the fact they're built like walls lmao)

The guiding winds is such a cool game mechanic. It's very simple and I hope other developers play around with more immersive mechanics for exploration.

[@jayveeeee]

It really is a brilliant solution to that open world problem. I've always hated how mini-maps/compasses/icons steal the attention away from the environment. Hopefully this works well and inspires future devs to make their games more immersive!

[@geordiejones5618]

@@jayveeeee yeah even games considered landmark achievements like The Witcher 3 suffer from that break in immersion, although I feel generally that developers are trying their best to give players options in how they explore the world. Even like AC: Odyssey has that option where instead of just following the exact marker you explore a limited area. Great work on your videos, I especially loved all the information you gathered for AC: Valhalla. Both of these games are gonna be so much fun to play!

When you wanted to know where to go you could just swipe the touchpad. Otherwise no HUD at all, which made exploration that much better.

[@Fencepost55]

I have a feeling Tsushima might be a starting island. Like it’s the intro for the story kind of like how it was in AC odyssey, then after getting into the story of the invasion you then get access to rest of the big map. I feel like several shots, like the one up on top of the mountain looking across the map, show that that might be the case. Either way, couldn’t be more excited, but what a way to kick things off, a big map, then once the game kicks it in gear and gives control it opens up to a giant map

[@Bubbaroza]

Nope just tsushima. although it would be cool if we could go to other Japanese islands or even the main island

[@Fencepost55]

non intelligent life form that’s what I mean, I’m saying maybe they’ll do that cuz they said the map in all the footage we’ve seen is waaaaay smaller than the whole map, plus they haven’t said much about the size or anything so it’s a total possibility we cross the water to get to a bigger map. Look at some of the footage, it’s clear that there’s a huge portion of the map separated by water, the games gonna be dope either way but if you put 2 and 2 together it looks like there’s a large portion of the Island outside of the small part they showed in the map menu 🤷🏻‍♂️ kinda what the developers are hinting at when they explicitly said “this is a small percentage of the full map”
