Ghost of Tsushima Sequel Features Hidden Ray Tracing at 60fps on PS5 Pro

Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei Unveils Hidden Ray Tracing in PS5 Pro at 60fps

Digital Foundry has offered an early look at Sucker Punch's new game, Ghost of Yotei, confirming it to be a substantial evolution rather than a mere iteration. Their playthrough reports that the title deepens the narrative, enriches the game world, and incorporates impressive technical advancements, including unannounced ray tracing. From its opening, Ghost of Yotei captivates with stunning landscapes and a cinematic introduction. Players assume the role of Atsu, who returns to his homeland to avenge Lord Saito. The story features six main targets, each set in a distinct region with its own unique style, designed to offer varied experiences and avoid the repetitiveness sometimes found in its predecessor. A significant technical reveal is the inclusion of ray tracing, which Digital Foundry observed operating on both PlayStation 5 models. On the PS5 Pro, players can experience this mode at 60 frames per second (fps). Ray tracing significantly enhances visual fidelity, delivering more natural lighting, realistic reflections, convincing interiors, and a greater sense of depth compared to its predecessor. The PS5 Pro offers four distinct graphics modes: Max Quality: 4K resolution at 30fps, without ray tracing. Performance: 60fps, at a lower resolution. Ray Tracing: 30fps.

Ghost of Yotei's Enhanced Graphics, Sound, Performance at 60fps on PS5 Pro

RT Pro: Combines ray tracing with 60fps, utilizing image reconstruction techniques. Performance across all modes is robust, with Digital Foundry noting minimal issues even during extensive battles. They identified a few isolated sound bugs, which are expected to be resolved prior to release. Audio is another strong point for the game. Cinematic scenes boast cinema-quality sound, complemented by diverse gameplay audio options. These include the familiar Kurosawa Mode and a surprisingly effective lo-fi soundtrack, a collaboration with Shinichirō Watanabe. Exploration has also seen considerable improvements, aiming to reduce repetition. The world now features indoor areas, underground sections, and puzzles. Combat encounters adapt based on the player's approach, and environmental interactions have been enhanced, allowing for subtle details such as leaving visible marks on the ground when running through flowers. In summary, Digital Foundry views Ghost of Yotei as a clear evolution, showcasing advancements in graphics, sound, performance, and mission variety. For those who anticipated merely a Ghost of Tsushima 2.0, the game appears to offer a significantly expanded and refined experience.
