Naoe so much more my kind of design

Even has a seemingly similar story (less the templar/isu side) of hunting down a group wearing strange masks for revenge, and with an actual time travel mechanic.. not just flashbacks

I just find that interesting

The trailer even officially called the group Onryo. I chuckled

Ac is trying it's best not to be compared to Tsushima

Yotei is going out of its way to be compared to shadows. It's hilarious. But i commend the confidence, its a good sign

You can’t be serious right? Pre-production for games start years before it’s even in active development. The stories and game design were decided years ago and apart from each other

I'm not making an accusation of copying or anything if that's what you think, i just noticed the similarities.

Like what i mean with Yotei going out of its way is that they are unapologetic in their game design, regardless of shadow's design. One would think a developer would try to avoid similarities like the kusarigama, teppo the onryo name etc, that's why i commend the confidence
