[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56841, member: 1"] Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi is no stranger to borrowing dramatic themes and high-drama ideas from movies, and now we're learning his first project at Nagoshi Studio is inspired by one of the Hollywood greats: Quentin Tarantino. Speaking to German publication [URL='https://www.4players.de/4players.php/dispbericht/Allgemein/Special/43981/85132/0/Nagoshi_Studio.html']4players[/URL] (translated by IGN), Nagoshi shared some brief insight about the types of violence and humor his next game could entail. "Of course, I can't tell you much about our game yet, but I can give you a vague idea: violence will of course be a gameplay element, but I don't want to go too far into the direction of thriller or horror. My game will be closer to a Quentin Tarantino film — so humor may also play a role," Nagoshi said. "Something that's just intimidating or only bloody or violent isn't to my taste — I want a human touch, some silliness and some seriousness, that's what I'm currently going for." Nagoshi also said he's currently spending most of his time recruiting people for the project, likely meaning they're in the very early stages of development. Quentin Tarantino is known for ultra-violent films like Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The filmmaker's movies also frequently feature dark humor and stylish violence. The Yakuza games also have stylized violence and plenty of goofy moments, so it seems Nagoshi isn't planning to stray too incredibly far from his roots.
