Ghost of Tsushima was also demoed during Sony's "conference" yesterday and it's shaping up pretty well in terms of atmosphere. The game may be a bit less impressive than The Last of Us Part II, but it is still a gorgeous title to look at, especially during the final fight that ended the presentation. Once again, Sony only provided the 1080p version of the video, at least for now.
Update: Added an image gallery.
Update 2: Watermark-free video added.

apparently the demo is actually just a characters side mission too, which bodes well.
The art direction and tech looks amazing
The thing that looked absolutely stunning was the cherry blossom leaves duel. I mean, usually that kind of thing is done with flat textures, and one or two leaves that can move, but the entire ground covered with them that individually move and lift and blow in the air as you move through them. I've never seen a game brought to life like that before. The way the wind effects everything, from cloth blowing, cloths, the straw on the characters back and hat. Everything. It's just a stunning looking title, and I was not expecting that.
As it's been rightly pointed out, this looks like a more grounded Tenchu set in a relatively open world. It's going to be a system seller.
I just looked and it will ZOMG!!
These leaves moving on the floor during combat amazed me. It amazed me as much as the first time i saw Virtua fighter 3 running in big screen in arcade back in the day.
Characters seem great too.
Day 1.
