Ryu Ga Gotoku Sequel (PS3)
-Not RGG4 but not RGG Kenzan 2 either
-Nagoshi believes that fans will be accepting of the title regardless of if Kiriu goes to space or fights zombies
-Thinking of making it more 3-dimensional than prior titles
-Title still evolving
-Thinks fans wouldn't wait 2 years for RGG sequels
-No voice acting done yet (pre-audition stage) but appears that auditions will be open to the public, atleast for the females....all that's required to audition is a love for the RGG IP.
and more:
Nagoshi told the magazine that he couldn't say too much about the title, but he did provide a few solid bits. The new Yakuza game will take place in modern times, different from the first PS3 entry, Yakuza Kenzan, which took the series to the Edo period. The game is being developed for the PS3.
Now for the vague stuff. Nagoshi hinted to the magazine that the new title will offer some new elements. He said he'd like to offer a new game style. There's plenty of room for additions to the modern setting, it seems. Noting that players have, until now, been able to enter stores on the ground floor of buildings in the game's Kamiyacho red light district, Nagoshi said that he'd like to provide a more 3D experience. Read that as you may, but perhaps players will be able to climb the heights of the game's buildings
I don't know if any of you know/remember that patent that Yu Suzuki filed back around the time of Shenmue, which only got passed this year (09)...
It was for an engine that automatically created the inside of buildings, every room individually complete with interior design and furniture placed realistically, as in... beds against walls, nothing blocking doors or windows... So that the developer doesn't have to create each room in huge buildings by hand and it is easy to create whole buildings very quickly.
Sounds like Nagoshi might be putting it to use. (just my guess based on what he said)
