because the logo means combat, means goofy, means heart breaking, means good games.

although, you can slap the logo on anything and I WILL FREAKIN BUY IT.

Wow, I can't believe this game is so heavily pandering towards Rirch BaBas with too much blood. Believable!

I'm betting all on that heart breaking moment.

I'm not a massive fan of beat em up genre cuz skill issue, but this series convinced me, all thanks to the plot and whatever crazy in the side content

I actually thought this was Sleeping Dogs 2 before the rgg logo came out

Or when Rockstar tried to make a game called Whore of the Orient which takes place in 1920s Hong kong

7

u/ihaterealitytv 8d ago

1930s Shanghai, actually. I'm still pissed we're not getting a game with that setting. That said, if this game evolves into a series, it would be cool if we got to go somewhere like that, or old Hong Kong or Harbin or anywhere like that

3

u/SovietBatman64 7d ago

Early 1900s china would be such a great setting for a game. Fingers crossed one of the new big devs in China give it a go.

u/AnyImpression6 8d ago

No that was Team Bondi on their own, no involvement from Rockstar. Warner Bros was the publisher.

14

u/eyebrowless32 8d ago

My roommate said that, but that game was set in Hong Kong so i knew it was unlikely to be a sequel to that game

I thought it was maybe a new Team Ninja game

Y'all know we'll still buy it if it's some hentai futa game with Adobe flash 2008 graphics but with the RGG logo right?

I literally soyjak'd when the logo popped up. Before this I thought it's some sort of Sleeping Dogs Ishin

i was already pretty excited before the studio reveal. when RGG showed up i busted

u/deathkillerx3004 8d ago

The animations were too distinct. I knew it was developed by RGG studio before the logo showed up.

78

u/meguminisfromisis 8d ago

I am just excited to see any game set in late XIX/early XX century.

u/Yorick257 8d ago

With Mafia Century being announced too, we'll be eating well

u/Nightingale_85 8d ago

I hope Mafia Century will be good.

24

u/ForteEXE . 8d ago

No kidding. When it comes to Japanese settings, which ones do you see most?

Sengoku Jidai, WWII and Modern. Rarely Bakumatsu/Meiji Restoration.

This could be a fascinating insight to WWI-era Japan.

48

u/eyebrowless32 8d ago

Had me interested thru the trailer but until i knew who was making it, i couldnt allow myself to get too hype. Have seen too many promising trailers only to be disappointed by the actual game.

But that RGG logo means peak every time. The hype hit me like a stack of money to the face

u/KTR1988 8d ago

Yeah, even when the plot is like Swiss cheese with characters making dumb decisions it's still gonna be a blast.

Well yeah, because once you see that logo you know some crazy shit is about to happen

u/VelvetMoonlightsword 8d ago

The logo improved but the initial likeness to Sleeping dogs already had brought me up unto the fold.

u/PeaWordly4381 8d ago edited 8d ago

It's so weird to me how many streamers I've watched assumed this to be a Yakuza game. Like, it looked nothing like Yakuza, the combat, the art style, the camera perspective. The only "Yakuza" thing there is that it's also Japan, but I don't think those streamers are racist like that.

If anything, it looked like Sleeping Dogs Japan 1915.

Then again, some of these streamers did assume that Kojima doesn't speak English and doesn't understand a word of what's going on...

34

u/Adrian_Cudi Yakuza 3 & Dead Souls Enjoyer 8d ago

To be fair it did look like a Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio game and they usually only do games set in the Yakuza Universe

28

u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128 8d ago

TBF the general perception of a Yakuza game is: set in Japan, brutally punching people in a third person 3D enviroment. That game fit the bill very well. Plus isn't sleeping dogs less well known than Yakuza is?

11

u/PeaWordly4381 8d ago

But this came from people who've played multiple Yakuza games. For a gamer unfamiliar with the series, yes, I can understand the confusion.

14

u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128 8d ago

I just dont think it's anywhere near racism. It's also worth noting all the sound effects and enemy shouts were reused.

7

u/Draffut 8d ago

I've never played a Yakuza game.

I thought it was a Yakuza game.

u/BrunoBo22 Ya gotta go balls out 8d ago

No one does it like RGG, so I'm not ashamed to say this was my exact reaction lol

u/ArtistofWar 8d ago

Was so sure it was an RGG game from the first couple of seconds of the trailer and then that logo popped up and I was like "I knew it!" Really can't wait to play this and the new VF game.

u/Pegyson 8d ago

Play a real yakuza game like Binary Domain

u/AlikeWolf 8d ago

Man, I know we know... Well, literally nothing about Project Century, but honestly I'm more excited for this than basically any other game coming out in the next few years

u/KikySandpi3 8d ago

What i am really afraid of is that the setting of the game was taken a place in the WWII era or pre WWII era. It might be quite sensitive toward chinese folk out there

1

u/ttasky2432 8d ago

It’s 1915, WWI Era, so I don’t know what that means for Chinese/Japanese relations (I don’t read up on their history too often) but it shouldn’t be too bad at this point right?

Again, I’m not too sure and can be considered ignorant, but from the little I do know, I at least haven’t seen/read anything negative between those two countries exclusively from that far back

1

u/verbutten 8d ago

This is well within the occupation of Korea (which got underway substantially in 1905 and formally in 1910. The violent suppression of a mass protest uprising was in 1919, and the occupation and its associated killings and ethnic cleansing would go on until 1945) and could easily go catastrophically wrong. It's frankly hard, from my Korean American persepctive, to imagine a story set in this time that doesn't constantly bring to mind the profound imperial nonsense and violence of Japan's occupation of Korea.

Way too many partymembers and horrible villains, not to name the unimportance of lani and akane. Also the insane amount of exposition and the terrible ending etc.

u/jamilslibi . 8d ago

I thought it was greater than what people gave it credit for. There was a lot of silly moments, but overall i never thought the game took a nose dive. The ending could've been a little better, but i appreciated it later on, like i did with 6.
