Could this be the next Judgment game? (Insane copium, I know)
DISCUSSIONThis isn't the same building, to my knowledge.
And for a mocap day he isn't gonna show up dressed so nicely.
I don't think Kimura needs to be in person mocapping. It could be the mocap actor with the devs adding Kimura's scanned face on it.
If anything (hopefully), I think he's recording lines
Actually considering how they do Ichiban (completely different face, body, and voice actors) I wouldn't be surprised if Kimura only really does face/voice performance capture, and the body motion is someone else completely.
I'm sure somebody could correct me based of the Judgement(s) credits, but I remember being surprised that that's how they've done it for so long (I believe kiryu is the same as well).
Face mocap w/ VO is not something you would be dressing nice for. Those sessions are long, there's a ton of lights on you so it can be a bit hot, and you want to capture the triceps upwards so t-shirts make more sense.
I would love for it to be the case... (copium here too btw)
I love Yagami and I will be disappointed if he's not in the next judgment. I love playing as him and love his character.
I also enjoyed playing Kaito, so would not mind a dual-protagonist Judgment with Yagami and Kaito.
But please, please have Kimura in Judgment 3.
I NEED a Judgment 3.
I NEED judgment 3
WE NEED TO FIND THE JUDGMENT AFTER LOSING IT IN LOST JUDGMENT
Ohhhh so the pose wasn't for Kiwami 3 it was for JUDGMENT 3
would they need kimura for mocap?
Unless it's face capture, I think he only does the voice acting
Unless Kimura can pull off Yagami’s moves, I’d assume he’s just voice and facial. Wouldn’t make sense to have to blend his walking animations with the mocap artist’s animations
Kimura isn't doing any mo-cap, that isn't for the "big" actors. Keanu and Idris Elba didn't do Mo-cap for Cyberpunk, JK Simmons and Jason Isaacs didn't do Mo-cap for Baldur's Gat 3, and none of the face actors in the Yakuza games did Mo-cap for their parts.
Didn't know that.
I thought they at least do the facial expressions mo-cap since they're using their likeness.
Facial expression is one of the capture. But not a mo-cap.
They are filmed as they deliver the line, so the animators can use their expressions later, or a mo-cap actor can imitate the facial expression.
Mo-caping is very strenuous, and it takes quite a bit of time. It would be far too expensive to get someone like Kimura to it himself, when a no name Mo-cap actor can do it for much cheaper.
Just to point out, Keanu did motion capture for Johnny (watch the cyberpunk 2077 behind the scenes)
Maybe not every scene(?), but at the very least some of them.
considering that the last RGG summit announced hostess signups, I don't think the next game will be Judgment 3, we already know its not Kiwami 3 so my money is on another gaiden game, maybe about (8 spoilers)
name of the character who run these hostess is the name one of the side quest character from judgment 2. some girl that you might have relationships with
So she's underage in game
strong wet sounds Ahhh, Yagami...
A tv show was reported in the works in 2022..maybe that?
I just finished Lost Judgement last night. Working my way through the Kaito Files right now. But, it got me wondering. What could they add to the next game to improve upon it? And I was thinking maybe they'll take the Yakuza 4/5 approach with multiple playable characters.
Yagami, Kaito, Higashi, Suguira, and Saori.
I could see Saori's gameplay along the same lines as Haruka's in Yakuza 5 where there's no combat and she's just doing Lawyer stuff, taking on side cases and the like. We've already technically played as her twice now in both games, might as well go all the way with it. And Kaito has a couple styles designed, so there's that. Just gotta do the work for Higashi and Suguira.
I also thought, maaaaaybe Kuwana, but we just might not see him again.
I was thinking about multiple protags as well, but after reading thoughts from asian Kimura fans (they know more) and interviews with Nagoshi about making Judgments, I think they won't do it. Unless it will be like: 70% playtime you play as Yagami and 30% as Kaito, because Kimura is the core of Judgment. No Kimura - no Judgment. I don't think they will switch main protag to Kaito or go Yakuza 4/5 with "evenly" distributed protag arcs route if they want Kimura to be the star of the show.
I think they can try to go for an action based game with a full party. So think of LAD where you have the whole squad + reserves with you the whole time, but the gameplay is still action-based. And you can switch your controllable characters at any point during the fight
In certain boss fights and sequences, you’ll have to play as specific characters I guess.
Maybe not for Judgment 3, but I think it’s a way to shake up the gameplay a bit
Yes, it would be cool if implemented well. I think about Batman Arkham Knight, when you fight Penguin and his thugs you can switch to Nightwing, or when fighting Riddler robots you can switch back and forth between Batman and Catwoman. pretty cool, and Batman still remains the protagonist.
A bit late, but I actually remembered what needs to be improved - stealth sections. In LJ they are ridiculously plain and very linear, basically you have no freedom and just go from one checkpoint to another. You can't throw a coin at random location, you can't choose not to throw a coin at all. These mechanics feel rushed and underdeveloped. So the stealth sections need some serious work imo.
Another thing they could add is something like a coliseum. Basically you don't have any way to challenge your fighting skills outside of the story fights and side cases, and those are limited. Yes, there are some cool fights with weapons and tigers in Paradise VR, but not everyone wants to play the board game with dice just to get to a cool fight.
I could see that, and there's definitely possibility for that to be great, but part of me would be worried it would suffer from bloat that Lost Judgement did (imo). More playable characters means more time needed playing each of them lol.
Hopefully we finally get Kuwana twerking
Worst case we get lost judgement silly mod with twerking kuwana
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your yearly reminder to NOT WATCH ANY TRAILERS of upcoming RGG games who care not about spoilers
For real. RGG spoiled the final boss of IW in the trailer.
To be fair, was it possible to guess it at that time just by watching the trailer alone? He definitely gave the vibe of someone playing a more significant role than it was shown in the trailer, but nothing else. Although game assets leaks and some interview/additional IW vids gave everything away anyway
I mean, in his character trailer, he has a shot of a dramatic tattoo reveal, on top of the Millenium Tower.
We also had shots of Kiryu climbing Millenium Tower in his "old outfit", so it was obvious it was gonna be Kiryus final boss.
The trailer shows Kiryu and in millennium tower, so it was a pretty big giveaway.
Can't wait to see how they gon justify Yagami going to Hawaii so they can reuse the map
May be shooting a new advertisement or his new album MV…. Not Judgment 3.
Literally 2 different place lol
PLEASE LET ME KISS MAFUYU IN THE NEXT JUDGMENT GAME!!!!
If you are new to the subreddit, please read the wiki
Reminder that all spoilers need to be tagged with a flair specifying which game is being spoiled. If you want a flair that says something else, you can edit it to say something like [Discussion: Y1 spoiler] or [Majimapost: Y6 spoiler], etc. THIS INCLUDES CONTENT FROM TRAILERS.
If the post is not marked for spoilers, all comments that have spoilers need to be tagged >!like this!< along with indicating which game it's spoiling. Example: Y3
If the post flair is marked for spoilers, the comments don't need to be tagged for the game indicated and the ones before it (So a Y6 spoiler post can have comments with untagged spoilers for Y5, but not gaiden or 7).
If you see any of the above (or any of the other rules) not being followed, please report it so we can keep this place safe for newcomers and those that haven't finished all the games yet. Thank you!
