You mean like Ichi the killer or a gta style Yakuza game?
The free roaming Yakuza game is officialy being worked on by Sega.
You're right though I doubt it would be anywhere near as violent as Ichi the Killer.
If it were Jack Thompson would say
"The japanese are trying to teach our kids how to become sadisticly,profesionally trained killer masochistic yakuza!!!"
True,but than again almost anything can cause a uproar these days.
Look at the Killer 7 controversy awhile back,because of the tame PG-13 sex scene.
Which is quite ironic since Killer 7 does deserve notoreity for it's over the top violence & excessive use of coarse language,but for some reason it was the orgasm
scene that ended up being the tip of the iceburg.
Or that other time Jack Thompson held a crusade against Will Wright's The SIMS 2.
Mr. Thompson concluded that The SIMS targetted demographic is catering to pedophiles,because you can undress the SIMS even the children or whatever wild accusation Jacky boy claimed.
(Hey,hey don't look at me wierd. I'm not the one that comes up with this ish. The government official Jack Thompson is the one with the disturbed mind.)
Just like the time Jack Thompson held a crusade against Rockstar for the game Bully,because he calaimed that Bully is teaching it's players how to become a bully......LOL.
I'm expecteing the sega yakuza game to be like a grown up version of river city ransom.
What they lack in Firepower (Japan has strict gun control laws.) they'll make up for it in sheer brutality.
Either way you look at it Ryuga Gotoku is bound to cause controversy.
It's about Yakuza, not the western interpretation of what a Yakuza is (Hitman 2 Silent Assassin),but the true genuine article.
They have heavy prostitution rings & a monopoly on adult entertainment & weapon smuggling.
P.S.
Sorry about going off subject. Though the game does sound a bit Shenmueish & is developed in house by sega.
This looks like what I wanted the Virtua Fighter RPG to be like.
