Behind the Scenes of Like a Dragon! – Ep 1: A Dragon Reborn
The docuseries is called Behind The Scenes Of Like A Dragon and it follows RGG Studio through a “generational shift” as they begin development onLike A Dragon 8in 2021. The first episode is a brisk 20-minute insight into how RGG approaches the first stages of development, focusing on the details that go into motion capture, and all of the tiny VO considerations that make the series so endearing.Yakuzais consistently entertaining, even in its most mundane scenes, so it’s nice to see the thought process that leads to that magic. So far, only the first episode is available, but I assume the series will have weekly releases.
While the show details the minutiae that goes into development, it hasn’t delved into the emotional journey of the developers, yet. The recent32-part Psychonauts 2 serieshas done an incredible job exploring the office dramas, heartbreak, and joy that come with game dev, and hopefully, we get a similar ride with the team at RGG.
The docuseries doesn’t reveal too much about the mysterious Like A Dragon 8, although Yakuza fans aren’t starved for games at the moment.Like A Dragon Ishinlaunched just the other day, and our Ed had a great time with the 1800s prequel. In his review, Ed said, “Ishin feels most likeYakuza 0(my fave) that’s sure to please longtime fans.” He continued, “its standalone nature means that it is, without a doubt, one of the strongest starting points for newcomers.” If you are one of those newcomers, Ed graciously answered the age-old question ofwhere to start with the Yakuza series.
Like A Dragon Ishin is available now onSteamfor £55/€60/$60.
