PlayStation fans will be able to check out Ghost of Yotei this week. The game is set in Japan, which has led to comparisons with Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Blogger ElAnalistaDeBits has prepared a detailed comparison of Ghost of Yotei with another game set in Japan — Assassin’s Creed Shadows from Ubisoft. The material covers many technical and visual aspects: character models, day and night cycle, clouds, physics of water and snow, destruction of the environment, textures, blood details and dirt. The analysis also touched on the physics of clothing, vegetation, lighting, combat system and climbing animations.
The comparison is interesting because the actions of the two games take place in an open world and in Japan, but they approach the theme differently. Ghost of Yotei focuses on atmosphere, cinematic quality and precision of combat, while Assassin’s Creed Shadows develops the world with an emphasis on historical details and the scale of the environment.
The conclusions are simple: some will appreciate the artistic approach and atmosphere of Ghost of Yotei, others will appreciate the richness of detail in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
