Anyone been to the Japan Yakuza official website?

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

I don't pay attention to graphics/new games much anymore. I didn't think I'd need to see Kazuma's pores, but I guess I was wrong. (1st RED vertical link from the left, then screenshot thumbnail opening view pics, the last one of the list on the next page advance)

Purple pin stripe gangster almost zoot suits, yes, please. Realistic 5 o'clock shadows?
How bout that, sure why not.

(+ dood didn't change his thread title yet to reflect the instant turn of discussion and now its near 500 views... baby! There's also a user here named "Ellipsis..." reminds me of the potential missing "...baby")

3rd link has some more screenshots, city locales, alleys, indoor locations.
TGS Trailer video is the fourth, last RED bar vertical link.

I don't think the real gangsters have a website, but you never know.

Well then, I'll get those 500 views alone, myself, lone Ranger Danny "Batman" Granger

So this is interesting considering the US released games, the guys are blocky and on a level with GTA3 detailed,
while not Final Fanboytasy 7 Cloud level, still a bit behind the times.
Tons of gameplay, side missions, inventory items, weapons, yes still there though.
Like adding Streets of Rage + Virtua Fighter
to that "Hey Cousin!" series which won't ever know what a CQC is.

Kiryu looking like he has freckles now.
What would a dude with actual freckles look like?

No host bar idol women pics out yet on that IGN. And you can go to Kotaku to ogle on your own, them actual women.

Those are some damn good graphics. D:

My 5 o' clock shadow doesn't look like that. :o

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

Probably cutscene primarily, like most games.

But that trailer was interspliced soo much it was hard to tell;
so you might get around the same or close in your walking around, beating up greasy thugs overworld gameplay stuff.
More glitz in the battles though, spark effects and such. Ground was wet and glossy, from rain.
I didn't link a picture of a battle and I can't get back there to try. Internet-brok'd.

My 5 o' clock shadow doesn't look like that. :o
Mine's more like a 5 month later shadow. Takes forever. >_>

[Volcompat321]

Hahaha.
Well, mine doesn't take that long, but mine is all....I don't know...just there.
If I let it grow even two days, I look...dirty or something lol.
Homeless maybe.
Hard to explain.

[Nitro Vordex]

I'll shave my upper lip area, and it takes a month to grow peach fuzz.

:disapprove: my genes.

[Volcompat321]

That's a good thing!
God, what I'd give to not have to shave everyday to look "presentable".

Having to shave is not a good or bad thing, but more of an annoying thing if you have to keep clean a clean shaving.

For work, we don't need to shave, but, I do anyway because I don't like the whole rugged bum look.
The thing I hate most is rubbing my face against my arm when I'm sleeping, and it wakes me up because it's like sandpaper.
Annoying.

Ever get stubble stabs via too short fingernails + scratch your face?
