“It’s tremendous attention-grabbing as a result of my largest reference was Ghost of Tsushima, which is extra on the Kurosawa facet of inspiration than the Western, the John Ford facet of the inspiration for George Lucas,” Gerighty mentioned. “Pink Lifeless Redemption is phenomenal, [because it treats] the world as a world – not as a guidelines of actions which might be repeated typically. However I believe that Ghost of Tsushima, what I cherished about it was this purity of getting a participant fantasy and actually leaning into it. That is the story, the world, the character, every part matches along with the gameplay guiding every part. That’s the fantasy of ‘you’re a samurai ninja in Japan.’ That was one of many guiding lights for this.”
