Shenmue 3 PS4 & PC SERIOUSLY HAPPENING

I was reading an interview with Toshihiro Nagoshi last night about the making of Yakuza and he stated the importance of securing real brands when the setting of a game is in a realistic environment. Even the first game managed to secure Suntory Whiskey and Don Quijote Stores, which is amazing given the untested nature of the game and its themes. I suppose the huge budget helped. Amazing a risky venture like this got such a massive budget. So great it paid off too.
The best part of the piece was how, for research purposes, Nagoshi and a fellow producer spent a fair bit of time in the red light area of Kabukicho in order to give the game as much authenticity as possible

Looks like the game will run at 30fps and will support widescreen wherever you can control the camera. Cutscenes will be 4:3. All arcade games are in and working. S2 is a port of the Xbox version, which added some graphical differences and the snapshot mode. English and Japanese voice options for both games

Originally posted by Adam View PostProblem is, the game has been able to run at 60fps through Dreamcast emulators and I don't think it resulted in any issues? 30fps hurts, what a shame.

Securing real world licenses helps with the immersion, but proves to be an absolute nightmare in the long-term if those licenses expire and need to be renewed.
On topic I cannot wait to dive back into Shenmue, will probably wait around Christmas time. But its kind of crazy that Sega is releasing this and Yakuza Kiwami 2 so close together.

I have never needed real life brands if the ones they have are cool. For example, I have a Shenmue Tomato shirt and it’s one of my favourites. But had they put Tesco in there, I wouldn’t be walking around with a Tesco shirt on. Similarly, I genuinely prefer Jet Cola in there because it becomes part of the Shenmue world. More so than a real brand. See also Ridge Racer.

I guess it’s like ‘nuka-cola’ being more fun to wear than standard soft drink brands you can get in your local off license...
But I understand with real life brands bringing the world closer to home - the inclusion of ‘Boss coffee’ sticky no out for me in yakuza.
