Yakuza is dead huh?
>>740347823i dont care yakuza wacky shit is the reason its popular, but dear god sega is 100% going to use AI slop to voice it arent they?if so then boy i cant wait to notice a sharp drop in overall game quality as all the shit thats been infected by AI in development over the last 3 years start hitting the market. putting dead people in anything that isnt a biopic 10+ years after death is unironically dystopian corporate behavior and what would you know, his mother died in the 2010s and his entire state was left to a record label owned by an executive of Interscope
>>740347823Shiiiiiiet
>>740347823Glad he's feeling better these days.
>>740352287that's the majima heat action voice line when he pulls out a glock in 1996 compton
>>740347823So is this some kind of AI slop with his voice cloned or is this him finally admitting he didn't die?
>>740347823If RGG made Yakuza 0 today I think they'd genuinely try putting the real Michael Jackson in the game
seeing how much screen time danny trejo got in 8, tupac and snoop prob gonna be cameos
>>740351964There's already a famous dead japanese actor likeness used in the game as the main villain and he's just being voiced by someone else
>>740347823>Yo cuh, chotto matte nigguh!
>>740351964I don't think RGG is ready for the nuclear shit storm they're setting themselves up for. Liberals and blacks worship Tupac like a god. If they disrespect him in any way, they're done.
>>740353948That would be based if they did
>>740347823Another gay guy?
>>740347823>>740354094>AI slop voicehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30amRba13SY
Time to go hardcore!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41qC3w3UUkU
this is what tupac would have wanted he was an actor first and foremost
>>740354094Rtard, Snoop is literally playing his first mentor
I'm just glad he's free from the crystal prison
I've never had hype killed so fast and hard the way Stranger than Heaven did. What the FUCK are they thinking?
tupac is alive
>>740347823>Sheeeeeeit, the youngins are forgetting about that nigga PAC>Quick, insert his corpse into a game
>>740351964imagine the 100 years from now when the AI bad end is in full swing and nobody knows if or when someone died because theres new videos or pictures of people who died long ago being churned out
>>740347823You're just jelly you didn't get isekai'd to 1900s Japan.
>>740347823does this game have anything to do with the yakuza beyond "this is set in the same universe", so no recurring characters or anything like that?if that's the case i may get it, isolated stories are the only good thing this studio can produce now
>>740353948That made sense though considering it was the 80s and MJ was one of the most popular people on the planet. The fuck does Tupac have to do with 1920-50s Japan?
this is so dope
>hear about an interesting new game by RGG>new setting, new characters, entirely new plotline>the more they show, the worse it getsJust stop trying to sell me off of this and take "Yes" for an answer, already. I don't need any more gameplay/story trailers. Show me as little about this shit as possible, please. Every single new thing I see makes me want it less and less.
>>740359359Contextually it would make more sense, sure, but my point is that they'd be tastelessly trying to reanimate a dead guy instead of just doing an homage. Tupac's inclusion is even more bizarre for the reason you've stated and feels like a desperate stunt.
why does he keep getting resurrected?https://youtu.be/TGbrFmPBV0Y?si=Uj3L-yHmis71crSJ
>>740347823yakuza's been dead since like 6.
>>740353948I dunno I think a big part of the charm of that substory in particular are the badly modeled Miracle Johnson and Stephen Spining.
>>740347823man the setting seemed interesting until all this bullshit
>>740355181He was a effeminate butt-pirating ballerina first and foremost
>>740347823I was really interested in StH, but this Snoop Dogg and Tupac shit is such a turn-off.Who the fuck does RGG think buys these games for amerinigger rappers?
>be big fag for blue woman>inclusion in game is actually kinda neat and makes me want to get it>but it came alongside the announcement of Snoop>playing a role that feels off for the time period the game is set to and in a self-egrandizing role that feels like the time Eminem met The Punisher>hold my nose and decide to just buy the game after reviews are out and a sale drops>then Tupac todayYeah, say what you will about my devotion being weak, but I'm not about to reward Yokotarda putting a long-dead rapper in a time period and country he's totally ill-suited to be in for shock value and because Snoop thought it'd be funny. It's not going full Yasuke, but it's still a shade of Yasuke-tier historical fuckery.I'm gonna play an actual kino game with Ado in it, Lost Heckin' Judgment.
>>740351964>>740358879>>740354828RGG have confirmed there is no AI usage involved in Tupac's appearance.Either they have a voice actor playing him, or they're using already-recorded IRL voice footage, or he's just silent. Either way, it's not AI.
>>740363712>or they're using already-recorded IRL voice footageimagine them using YTP-style sentence mixing for all of his dialogue
>>740353948The only reason they didnt is because it would have cost a lot of money
>>740363712Probably just a VA same as Bunta
>>740347823Larry Fink Tribal Donations Status?: Secured. Goybuck Gibs en route.
60 years in paint
>>740347823I really like the different cities/eras idea. Makoto seems like a cool guy, I will try to ignore his life's work is going to be the fucking shithole that is the Tojo Clan.
>>740347823Sega revived Tupac before giving Sonic a new modelBottom Text
Do young people even know who 2pac is?
>>740364374Tupac's the Che Guevara of rappers. Face on a t-shirt, nobody who wears them knows who he was or what he did for a living, revered as a living legend, a presidential candidate lied about listening to them before they debuted for young people clout.
so yakuza is now just nig slop?
>>740364374I'm an old man and I have never head a tupac song
>>740347823RGG is fucking cooked, glad I dumped this cucks years ago.
>>740364374The average gamer is 37 anon, they don't make these games for kids
>>740353948Big deal, Space Channel 5 did it already.
>>740366389I find it very hard to believe that you lived through the '90s and never heard California Love or I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto. That last song was played everywhere after he died.
>>740366976Michael Jackson was alive when Space Channel 5 released bro
>>740367047I'm not american so that's probably why. I literally only know about Tupac because of pic related.
>>740347823https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30amRba13SY
>>740347823Stranger Than Heaven screams of RGG studios being very aware that a shit ton of old fans have dropped the series and that it's circling the drain.
>>740367938>a shit ton of old fans have dropped the series and that it's circling the drainYakuza is as important to Sega as Sonic and there are yearly releases that always make back their money.
>>740347823I think it was a bit in bad taste to put Tupac in that announcement, it certainly sombered the mood thereJesus Christ, let dead people rest in peace, we don't need to pull off digital necromancy on them
>>740367938They're appealing hard to the quirk chungus fans of recent Yakuza games
>>740351964If they make Rouge sound sexy again I will gladly sacrifice you and everyone in my way.
Why are RGG obsessed with washed western celebrities now? Blowing money on the actual celebrities when they could put it towards studio infrastructure and R&D is so short sighted. These western cameos do not increase sales.
>>740347823Maybe this means we will get to fight tupac.
>>740347823Government officials in Japan have had several sneaky and mysterious meetings with specific jewish representatives, expect to see more niggers and general browns in japanese games and anime/manga.
>>740353948They did just do that remaster of 0, so they actually did make it today.
>>740355916>>740356047I wouldn't blame him. Diddy is running a gay mafia while rap producers are having sex with talent. Like, can you really succeed in the rap industry without getting sofomized by obnoxious closet homosexuals?
>>740353948a funny homage to mj, his song 'bad', and spielberg was much more endearing than having the real people, just like their song homages to david bowie and micheal fortunati.
pretty sure 2pac/makiavelli recorded his voice lines for this game in prison before being killed>>740364034he will miss on playing>NIGGER IN HEAVENcouldn't be me
>>740367938they're pandering hard to the people that started with 7/lad
>>740353948delete this, Yokoyama might see your post and consider Yakuza 0 Kiwami
>>740369308>and consider Yakuza 0 Kiwamithat comes after daidoji time jannies reset the universe at the end of stanger than heaven.
>>740364374youre completely out of touch with younger people if you have to ask this
>>740367164Oh that's what he meant. Guess I'm retarded.
I don’t see the ethical problem with putting a guy who died in the mid-90s unless AI is used. Dale Earnhardt was in NASCAR games for years after his death and nobody cared.
Yakuza style Def Jam is going to be announced at Tokyo Game Show. Calling it now.
>>740353948don't forget about spielberg
>>740369726Anon, that's literally just Kurohyō, the PSP spinoff of Yakuza. Literally the same developers made Def Jam
i dropped the series at 4
>>740351964ai is literally an improvement over retarded troon devs, go rope because no one is going to pay you for shitty unimportant art assets
>>740361363>Contextually it would make more senseit will never make any fucking sense to have a 90s dead rapper appear in a taisho-showa era game.
Every subsequent reveal further drains my interest. Who is this series even for at this point?
>>740347823I do declare that buck is zesty
>>740347823>Geoff literally laughing
it's funny how this game went from 'oh why does he have glowing blue eyes? perhaps there's something supernatural going on?' to showcasing rappers
>>740369830I'm talking about an actual Def Jam game
>>740370809I want to live in the timeline where this game was about some Jap who doesn't age
>>740370809>People actually thought the glowing blue eyes meant he was an alien or supernatural being>Turns out Japanese people just see blue eyes as really piercing and wanted to emphasize that as a part of a story about struggling with being mixed raceGrim
>>740352843https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30amRba13SY
>>740347823Do zoomer/gen alpha nigs even know who Pac is? I legitimately want to know what the aging japanese producer that approved this was thinking adding a nigger thats been buried in the ground for 30+ years now. "UGUU 2PACU SAN SUGOII DESU NE", like what the fuck will this even add to the story?
>>740369308If they put some effort into it, i wouldn't mind.Majima's Breaker style would be a lot of fun with DE physics.
>>740355916No he's not, he voiced this role back in '94.>>740359123It's the prequel to the entire series about the founder of the Tojo Clan. In canon he will have met Snoop Dogg and Tupac.
you didn’t gatekeep hard enough
>>740368537Japs keep thinking western celebs will make their movie games seem legit among westerners. It's a massive inferiority complex and lack of confidence in the games standing on their own merits plus wanting to be "bigger than games" and be movie guys. Because everyone praised Kojima for being a Hollywood obsessed starfucker despite making shitty games, everyone now thinks it's OK.
>>740371486Zoomers dont buy games they watch faggots play them and donate to their overlord fortnite every once in a while
>>740363712>guys it’s okay, they said so!Yea no i’m not taking the corporation’s word
>>740370502Yokoyama
>>740371486>>740370798
>>740347823this is just the next logical step for yatroonza
>>740372306Being militarily occupied by America doesn't help. America's kosher slop is their goal... Not realizing that people fled to eastern content to avoid the western kosher slop.
>>740372545I've only seen people with pride flags in their username hating on this funnily enough
>>740347823It's been fucking dead. It died after Nagoshi left and the Judgment series stopped.
>>740347823The name truly fits the scenario of the game
>>740347823
