Wow, I could say I am aghast at the notion of GiTS being developed by SP is 'racist' but I have seen my share of other equally, if not more, bizarre and bad posts recently.
Yikes and Oof will suffice.

Lol yeah being skeptical of the video game industry's sensitivity toward cultural ownership and appropriation is totally concern trolling. Jeeeeesus Christ.
So you have no more evidence than your petty fear mongering. Thanks.
"Petty fear mongering"
Can you take a step back and listen to yourself for a second?
If Sucker Punch's milquetoast attempt to represent something other than white people in Second Son wasn't enough to cause any concern for you, I'd imagine you're a lost cause, but here's some reading if you're actually interested in giving it some thought.
Accusing Sucker Punch of being culturally insensitive and acting like they shouldn't be allowed to make this game. Who needs to take a step back here and listen to themself?
I definitely did not say that they shouldnt be allowed to make this game. You're being ridiculous.
Then what are you saying?
Evidence has been posted that they are taking the cultural accuracy of this game very seriously.
I can't wait for this game. I've been on a Mongol kick lately and I'm sure they'll make great villains.
What is the point of this attutude. It seems like you're making an asserted attempt to drive people away.
:D
GoW: June 2016 - April 2018
Spiderman: June 2016 - September 2018
Days Gone: June 2016 - April 2019
TLOU2: December 2016 - ?
Ghost: October 2017 - ?
Yup, all revealed too soon!
Surely all of those who are posting 'cross-gen launch' are trolling at this point? Didn't Cerny himself confirm that PS5 would be BC with PS4? Unless you think 'Evil' Sony are going to force their customers to double dip on PS5 when MS are handing out updates to play games you already own with highest fidelity on new consoles?
Some of you aren't even subtle with console warring, at least be up front about it if you want to engage in it.

I'm fascinated as well... so much culture and history; even outside the main narrative itself, just the architecture tells stories.
The fuck is it a sensitivity toward cultural ownership? O.o
Out of all the things to attack the game for... wasn't expecting the turn of events transpiring here 🤔.
there isn't anything concrete to criticize as far as Tsushima is concerned. Even the article you linked wasn't as damning as you made it sound, seems more like a missed opportunity that Deslin is from a fiction native american tribe than a real one.
I would say 2 yrs is pushing it, especially if a trailer was dropped at the reveal. If it was just announcement or talks then I wouldn't mind.
GoW and Spider-Man were perfect imo, 1 year and 10 months for one and 2 years and 3 months for the other, seems fine for huge AAA exclusives.
Whatever, can't wait for Ghost 😎
Yes, I am aware, and so is the Last Samurai movie staring tom cruise. But let's not kid ourselves, they used that story because they thought it would result in higher sales in the west. Your facts and my opinion are not contradictory.
Tangentially: The Last Samurai, which takes place during the Meiji restoration, is in no way based on the life of William Adams, who landed in Japan prior to the establishment of the Tokugawa bakufu some 275 years earlier.
Tom Cruise's character is a fictionalized version of Jules Brunet, a Frenchman who fought in the Boshin war (the movie transposes his involvement to the Satsuma rebellion 10 years later).
What I meant was that The Last Samurai was also based on a real life person/story.
You only need to look at their success to see it wasn't pushing it. God of War and Spidey were pretty much done perfectly too. Announcing something too early is only the case if something gets canned or rebooted or if they end up showing too much (Uncharted 4 was a good example of this) imo. Something like TLoU 2 and Ghost going over a year without a big trailer/demo are more a problem with Sony binning stuff like E3 and other shows, leaving them to readjust their pre-release media cycle. But 2 years isn't pushing anything imo, not even close.
There's got to be some people at PlayStation that are saying "yes, we have a bigger installbase this late in the gen with ps4, so we can sell more copies of our exclusives, however shifting some of these titles to PS5 will help greatly in the PS5 getting off to a good start, so while inticing as it maybe for short term profits, shifting some titles to PS5 will be an investment in our future platform"
No.
Keep it PS4 and make a PS5 patch. No reason to cancel the game just because a few rich players want to play it on better hardware.

PS5 will sell out regardless for the first year. They'll have Horizon 2, Spidey 2 and God of War 2 (3 10m+ sellers) to sell the PS5 when it needs selling. Delaying Ghost for PS5 doesn't really help the PS5, just hurts Ghost and PS4 users.
Yes, but they want to repeat PS4's sucess, moves like these would be helpful with a more prepared MS.
Sony are not complacent.
No way this has become a PS5 exclusive. While they might've flirted with the idea at this point, I can't see them doing that. This will most definitely release on ps4 with an enhanced PS5 version to showcase how fast it launches, how good it looks and whatever features Sony packed into the PS5.
Angering? I bet 70% of the customer base would not even care if they did this.
Yes and the PS4 success was built on the PS3's momentum, due to ending extremely strong. Ghost doesn't benefit from suddenly being PS5 exclusive and getting delayed for however many months. It'd still be a game built for PS4, just without the massive userbase. PS5 will already have it's launch exclusives and improved versions of Ghost and every other major PS4 exclusive and most 3rd party game released in the last year or so.
