Ghost of Yotei’s Popcorn Bucket Won’t Help PlayStation’s ‘Movie Game’ Reputation

by

Sony has drawn both acclaim and criticism due to their first-party exclusives often resembling movies, whether positively or negatively. While these games boast high production quality and engaging narratives, the emphasis on cinematic experience can sometimes result in gameplay appearing overly simplistic. Initially, Ghost of Yotei elicited some of those concerns, but once its open-world without in-game markers was unveiled, apprehensions were allayed.

Many people were pleased because this development suggested that the new PlayStation game might stand out from others by offering something unique. However, a bit of anticipation faded when the company unveiled an official popcorn bucket for the game, implying that Sony may be leaning towards creating more “cinematic games” with

In truth, it was essentially expected that Ghost of Yotei would align with the Sony trend, considering the trailers have emphasized the game’s narrative-driven nature. Players can anticipate an enjoyable gaming experience with ample exploration opportunities. However, given the film-like storyline, one might want to grab some popcorn, albeit for reasons that remain somewhat enigmatic. While it may seem like Sony is repeating past mistakes, their remasters and remakes continue to sell well, even though they’re not particularly old.

Embracing internet trends and constructive criticism isn’t necessarily detrimental. Marvel Rivals understands its audience’s inclinations and tailors female costumes accordingly. This approach sometimes results in enjoyable twists, such as when an Ubisoft open-world game allows players to skip certain tower climbs for scouting purposes. If done with self-awareness, there are certainly advantages to this strategy.

Regrettably, it appears Sony may be overlooking the “Ghost of Yotei” popcorn bucket. They seemed oblivious when they introduced the Chronological Mode for The Last of Us Part 2, despite its unique approach being relatively uncommon in gaming. However, this mode can give off an unwanted impression of striving to create movies rather than games, which could be detrimental since gamers are primarily interested in playing games.

It seems rather excessive to invest so much thought into a simple popcorn container, especially since it’s just merchandise for sale. Its quality may be good, but considering its intended use in the context of this game, it’s questionable whether anyone would actually utilize it for popping popcorn.

Everything appears to be falling into place nicely for the upcoming game “Ghost of Yotei“, and we’re confident it will be a strong contender for Game of the Year when it releases. Despite Sony often receiving criticism for making their games feel like movies, they do excel at creating compelling open-world titles. The popcorn bucket may not convey much optimism, but we’re certain that this game is in capable hands with Sucker Punch.
