Support NeoGAF

[androvsky]

Official website says it's a crossplatform thing with mobile.

Sounds like they're going to be using the off the shelf model for pre-rendered backgrounds. Yeah, this isn't going to be the next GTA or even Yakuza.

 

[Silky]

They have some 3D models on their twitter?

EDIT: More Artwork

Why do I feel I've seen those people before....

DOUBLE EDIT: They even have images of their offices on their twitter. What also looks like...resumes? Job applications? Important documents you probably shouldn't share so openly on Twitter?

 

[Tratorn]

Does "PS4 exclusive" mean PS4 + Smartphones nowadays?

Well, can't be that great if they have to consider these damn phones, but I'll still keep an eye on it.

 

[Nabs]

looks great

Oh man, that really is Fanatiq.

 

[Gintoki313]

I hope the game is good, I'm not going to judge it until I see some gameplay. The story sounds decent at least.

 

[Silky]

Oh man they got tweets linked to Worldstar Hiphop. hard hitting research

 

[Epcott]

looks great

Da fuq?

I laughed so long and hard at that.

It's the exact same model as the "screenshot". Just go through the preview pictures and match up billboards and landmarks. If nothing else, their artist has to retexture a bunch of billboards for products they don't have rights to show.

 

[KungFucius]

everything about that synopsis sounds truly awful, so I bet this will turn out fine.

Typical Princeton grad looking to make a quick buck and gets involved with a gang
African American who teaches English and wants to make his own school
Finance Student who forms his own gang after seeing the evil of corporations

Groundbreaking archetypes

The first one had me laugh out loud. I am thinking this may fall into the "so bad it's good" category.

 

[Silky]

They haven't released a single game...all of their stuff is 'coming soon'. Huh.

Salaryman Uprising isn't even a mobile game, it looks like an action game from the concept art.

 

[Squire]

Kickstarter incoming.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Sounds like the Reborn of Japan.

If it ever actually comes out! I'm with you though, this might be truly profoundly awful in a way that makes it actually good

 

[Majmun]

Ps4 + mobile phones

That's a new one.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Sure why not

Ps4 + mobile phones

That's a new one.

Lily bergamo from Suda 51 is the same with the game being PS4+mobile. Entirely possible the mobile version is different from the console version,won't know until we have more information though.

Edit* Wonderflick from level 5 is also console + phones.

 

[Mecha]

The afro guy is pretty horrifying.

 

[Sub_Level]

Interested on the basis of the art style alone.

Even if the game ends up being shit, I need this.

Actually on their twitter, they seem to be pretty interested in GungHo

 

[Black Door]

High potential for hilarity judging from these promo arts. Hope the game's not forgettable

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

The afro guy is pretty amazing.

Fixed.

 

[Freeman]

GTA set in Japan, can't say people didn't ask for it.

 

[Teddified]

Huh, I'm kinda interested on seeing more about what this game will be.

 

[SoopaMan2K]

Is that Fanatiq?

/Thread

 

[Steel]

It's like someone in Japan took big notice of the huge amounts of money GTAV was making, even in his homeland, and thought to himself "I can do that."

That was my thought.

 

[maquiladora]

wait...is that kenny powers on the bike?

 

[Dennis]

Japan......open-world.........what is this madness?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

best played with afterglow(tm) brand controllers

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Salaryman Uprising isn't even a mobile game, it looks like an action game from the concept art.

That is the best name ever

 

[Theecliff]

EDIT: More Artwork

That artwork is horrendous, wtf

 

[Parallax Scroll]

That artwork is horrendous, wtf

Looks like they just ran some photos through a few filters.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Sounds like the Reborn of Japan.

Lol, I thought I was the only one who remembered that train wreck of a Kickstarter. I feel bad for anyone who backed such an obvious scam.

 

[Nakazato]

At least the black guy isn't an athlete…that's progress.

.

Also makes me interested

 

[enzo_gt]

Looks like they just ran some photos through a few filters.

Yeah, definitely looks like they just re-purposed or shoddily redrew existing images.

 

[Bloodrage]

That is some of the worst artwork I've ever seen, wow. Is the game even confirmed? How legit is that source?

 

[Theecliff]

I know it seems sort of shallow, but I'm also kind of questioning this games legitimacy due to that artwork. Surely that can't be official stuff, right? It looks so fucking awful and lazy.

Edit:

I refuse to believe this is real. This can't be real, right? Why would someone do this?

why

I'm dying, this art is too raw.

 

[SarcasticD]

Is that Fanatiq?

Literally the first thing I thought of after seeing OP picture

 

[Amir0x]

the art is amazing. man are you guys gonna be shocked when this AAA product hits the PS4

lol this can't be real

Spoiler

can it? >.>

 

[BitStyle]

Is that Fanatiq?

I had the same exact thought when I saw the image in the OP.

 

[Josh7289]

Who are these developers? The Japanese font they used for the game title is like some default MS Word font. Seems too amateur.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

This is a game where people get bopped.

 

[El Sloth]

The afro guy is pretty horrifying.

That's actually a tree behind the guy, not an afro.

 

[Theecliff]

lol this can't be real

Spoiler

can it? >.>

It's on the developers website, that's the scary thing. This has to be an elaborate hoax or something. I mean, no real human being could make art that bad and then decide to actually use it for official artwork, surely? I mean just look at it:

I know this could all come off as a bit mean spirited

but just look at it

 

[ReaperXL7]

I'm reminded of a time when people shat on Demon's souls prior to its release. I suspect this game is going to equally shock people, just watch.

Spoiler

it won't necessarily shock people because of its "quality"

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

More Artwork

These look like thous fake GTA game covers from china lol.

 

[udivision]

what

 

[ReaperXL7]

Someone should shoot Yoshida a tweet and ask him if he knows anything about this masterpiece in the making. I don't know if SCEJ has anyone similar to Shahid to be honest.

Ryoji is the typical working class salaryman, trusting everyone and not questioning anything around him. Ryoji lives a life of servitude by ‘working for the man’ and his daily schedule reflects so much de ja vu that he might as well be running on a hamster wheel.

Ryoji has a deep, dark secret that even he is not aware of but the truth always finds a way to get out.

What unfolds is a man who has lost the memories of his past lost, and the grindy, repetitive life that he thinks is reality is actually superficial lie controlled and manipulated by an unknown external government organization,

What do these secretive forces want with Ryoji? Why him? Perhaps he is hallucinating or is being brainwashed as part of a clandestine conspiracy.

How will Ryoji come to grips with his new reality, regain his memories of his hidden past and fight a government system controlling him and others around him ?

Salaryman Uprising is the ultimate hero story of the mild-mannered salaryman. Entrenched in the lore of illuminati and government conspiracies, help Ryoji gain the courage and strength to realise his true calling and break free of his salaryman life.
