![]() Each of the individual narratives come together at the end, and the climax is one of the strongest in the series. Yakuza 4 takes place entirely in Kamurocho however, it has been expanded upon since the last game (adding rooftops and underground areas). I think the concept of continuing the series without Kiryu would have been quite bold for the time. Strangely enough, Kiryu feels like he doesn’t belong here, and only exists because it is a Yakuza title. Kiryu loses his ability to perform the super finishers from the previous games but still has the red heat bar. He has lower health than others but can be thought of as the most technically skilled member. Tanimura uses traditional martial arts, submissions, and defensive dodging. He doesn’t rely on over-the-top heat actions, and instead, can dodge during combos, making him an excellent fighter against groups of thugs. On the opposite side, Akiyama is nimble, using his legs for multiple hit combos to take out foes quickly. During heat actions (his heat meter is smaller than others), he cannot be knocked to the ground, making him an unflinching monster with a massive health bar. Due to his brute strength, Saejima’s attacks are overly powerful, especially when fully charged. With four playable characters, each one has their own unique fighting style, keeping each chapter feeling different. He also happens to be the sworn brother of Goro Majima. Saejima, a member of the Sasai Family of the Tojo Clan, is a legendary yakuza and a blunt instrument of destruction. He will just as much take a bribe and let a potential perp go free as he is to make an arrest. The youngest male protagonist, Masayoshi Tanimura, is a cop that is obsessed with gambling and always listening to the horse races through his pocket radio. Using it as a second chance, he wisely invests the money, building a sizable fortune in the process, while taking care of others around Kamurocho. Besides the aforementioned four playable characters, it is also the first title to not have contributions from Daisuke Sato.Īfter an explosion rocked the penthouse of Millennium Tower, raining billions of stolen yen down on the streets (an event that takes place in Yakuza Kiwami), Akiyama, now homeless, gathered as much money as humanly possible. Unlike the previous title in the Yakuza Remastered Collection that needed a wholly rewritten localization for English audiences and the addition of previously cut content, Yakuza 4 didn’t need many improvements over the initial release. Instead, there are three additional playable characters, Masayoshi Tanimura, Shun Akiyama, and Taiga Saejima. It also marks the first time that the series doesn’t focus primarily on Kazuma Kiryu. The second title in the Yakuza franchise released on PlayStation 3, Yakuza 4, takes place one year after the events that transpired in Yakuza 3.

They also had it so if the player had died in the game, the fat dots would vanish. For the bouncing toys, they thought of the flame items they discovered and decided to implement an explosion when the fat dot interacted a power pellet, giving the player urgency to collect the toy item before risking losing a power pellet. This led the team to hypothesize what these items may have done, leading them to introduce a fat dot which slowed the player down even more than regular dots did when Jr. When investigating the Pac-Man ROM, the found unused elements such as a "fat dot" and another that resembled a flame.

Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Tarantino didn’t expand on his love for “Texas Chainsaw” during that interview (though he devotes a few paragraphs to the endeavor in his book), but he did offer: “There’s not many and that just bemoans the fact that the film art form is hard…A perfect movie kind of crosses all aesthetics: might not be your cup of tea, but there’s nothing you can say to bring it down.” -AF ![]() During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel specifically inquired about “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”: a film the talk show host said he was surprised to learn qualified for the director’s short list of flawless cinema. Promoting his book “Cinema Speculation” in October 2022, Tarantino was asked about his definition of a perfect film. Then, check out a list of films he doesn’t recommend. Keep reading for a roundup of 55 of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite movies. At the very least, it’s a great place to go when you’re finished rewatching his old work and are once again twiddling your thumbs waiting for news of the auteur’s long fabled tenth film. He set out to do something similar in his book “Cinema Speculation,” which arrived on shelves that October.ĭiving into Tarantino’s favorite movies is a wild journey, but one that will undeniably leave you with a more well-rounded knowledge of cinema. That has given Tarantino a new outlet to share his opinions about movies, and the world is richer for it. ![]() In 2022, the filmmaker and his “Pulp Fiction” co-writer Roger Avary launched the Video Archives Podcast, which sees the duo revisiting many of the films they used to watch on VHS when they worked at the iconic video store together. When he’s not paying tribute to film history in his directing, Tarantino keeps talking cinema in both the veins of criticism and geekery. He’s been inspired by blaxploitation (see elements of “Jackie Brown”) and samurai epics (as in the “Kill Bill” duology). Not to mention, he’s a fan of rom-coms, particularly on long flights, and once dubbed Kate Hudson “the queen of the skies.” The man just loves cinema, and if a film entertains him, he’s going to tell the world about it.įrom “Reservoir Dogs” to “Inglourious Basterds,” Tarantino’s filmography draws directly from the movies he likes most. He proudly championed “Top Gun: Maverick” in the summer of 2022, as did so many others. While his love of spaghetti Westerns and exploitation flicks has always been well-documented, Tarantino isn’t afraid to publicly embrace the modern or mainstream. The video store clerk-turned-director has spent decades dazzling interviewers and fans with his unparalleled knowledge of cinema history, with tastes that range from universally acclaimed classics to more obscure and even lowbrow fare. Few people love movies as much as Quentin Tarantino, and the cinephile’s tastes continue to shape Hollywood. To say that few filmmakers love movies as much as Quentin Tarantino is a staggering understatement. |
