Blood-caked hair vs slicked back hair. The fight of the century.
Sega sent us this trailer that shows how you'll need friends to survive another day in zombie infested Tokyo. Yakuza: Dead Souls has you going up against hordes of the undead, but you probably won't be able to do it alone. Who better to help than the baddest still-living dudes in town, the Yakuza. Of course, their shotguns, rifles, and one dude's machine gun arm won't hurt, either. I think I'm going to enjoy taking down zombies alongside the hostess club girls, though. As great as machine gun arms are, hostesses with pistols and bouncy hair are more my speed.
I'm worried the combat in this isn't going to compare to the brawling brilliance in previous games. And the fact that HEAT is only used for trick shots; imagine the messed up hand-to-hand moves they could come up with when many of Yakuza 4's supposedly non-lethal takedowns made me cringe. It just feels like a lot of opportunities for zombie slaughter were wasted just to put guns front and center.
That said, as long as they don't cut Mahjong again, I'll be a happy man. But shooting a gas tank will never compare to smashing someone into a wall, picking him up like a battering ram, and then slamming him headfirst back into it.
Wow, the ads are getting so bad that ads are blocking ads. The resident evil trailer is a little hard to watch when the resident evil banner is taking up a good chunk of the screen.
so they replace the awesome Yakuza series combat with fucking shitty 3rd person shooter controls ... you can fucking tell they are shit just by watching them try to move and shoot
i mean i LOVE ZOMBIES! but ... this is just shit
