Just Because You Know Him, Doesn’t Mean Japan Does

Kotaku: Actor Tadanobu Asano was at this year's Tokyo Game Show. He's lending his voice to the game Shadows of the Damned—a game he told me to go buy. Joining him is actress Chiaki Kuriyama of Kill Bill fame. Asano and Kuriyama are famous in Japan, sure, but not so famous that everybody knows their names like Shinsuke Shimada or Smap.

Looks a bit like Keanu Reeves! Or are my eyes on their way out?

Pozzle4621d ago

Yep, I can kind of see it. He sort of looks like a mix between Keanu Reeves and Joseph Gordon Levitt...except more Asian. :O

coolbeans4621d ago

I was about to add Joseph Gordon-Levitt as another familiar face.

Kakihara4621d ago

Yeah, I think I might have seen him in something. Can't remember what though.

Baka-akaB4621d ago (Edited 4621d ago )

The article make it sounds as if he's even that famous in the west to begin with.

Sure we've seen him in Thor or a few other films , and is getting increasing more and more jobs , but how many of us even know his name or realized it was him ?

He still got more than enough time and talent to get there thought

Ichi the Killer was totally Fucked! But i loved every minute of it, Not quite as good as Old Boy but on nearly equal ground! :D

Asano is an awesome presence in every Japanese film I've seen him in. It's cool to see him lending his talent to video games.

Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.

jznrpg48d ago

I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.

Great game, hopefully that we will get a sequel one day

Syndicate Reboot Servers to Close

Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.

MadLad419d ago

What online functionality did Shadows of the Damned even have?

kevco33419d ago

My thoughts exactly! Some kind of score chart I've forgotten about?

coolbeans419d ago

Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.

mastershredder419d ago

Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.

IamTylerDurden1418d ago

Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.
