Japanese developers have an unusual way of thinking about their game before launching production: they send surveys to fans. Capcom is used to this approach, but in recent days, This is a survey sent by SEGA which causes a lot of virtual ink to flow on the web.
An Internet user from Reddit in fact shares an excerpt from a survey he received. SEGA obviously asks generic questions about its franchises like Crazy Taxi And Personabut also Yakuzanow known as Like a Dragon in the West. Japanese studio first asks about fan resentment over celebrity cameos in video gamesthe fact that a main character is dubbed by a star wherever he has his face. Of course, everyone thinks of Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077but SEGA goes further and even draws up a list of potential stars :
- Aidan Gallagher
- Jack Black
- Hiroyuki Sanada
- Lionel Messi
- Xavier Woods
- Hank Azaria
- Danny Trejo
- Minoru Iwasaki
- Rami Malek
- Simone Biles
- Dr. Dre
- Frank Montana
- Robert Pattinson
- Lady Gaga
- Matthew Mercer
- Shohei Ohtani
- Keanu Reeves
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
- Snoop Dogg
- Ice Cube
- Vin Diesel
- LeBron James
- David Hayter
- Seth Rogen
- Kit Harington
- Mark Hamill
- Eminem
- Ozzy Osbourne
- Billie Eilish
Keanu Reeves is obviously there, it’s not surprising to see stars who have already appeared in video games (Jack Black, Rami Malek, Vin Diesel, Danny Trejo, David Hayter and Kit Harington), but Some names are surprising. The singer of Black Sabbath Ozzy Osbourne hasn’t been in top form for years, Shohei Ohtani is only known to baseball fans, talented gymnast Simone Biles only makes international headlines every four years, and Players have a hard time imagining Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi or Aidan Gallagher (Number 5 in the series The Umbrella Academy) in the universe of Yakuza/Like a Dragon.
But what do the names cited by SEGAthe studio’s approach is not so surprising. The franchise with Japanese mafiosi will evolve over the years and stars regularly make more or less notable appearances in a video game. A famous face in a title Like a Dragon wouldn’t be surprising at all. However, if a star is to land in a game in the franchise, it won’t be right away. SEGA And Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will present the next opus during the Tokyo Game Show 2024 next Septemberit could be called Yakuza Wars in Japan.
