I just started yakuza kenzan and was already floored by this, the literal first moments of the game featuring the most photo-realistic puddle I’ve ever seen

this game came out in 2008

this is not water physics but yakuza 7 decided it wanted to innovate bread physics too

and the team kind of going hog on little things like that gets talked about a little here

Yokoyama just writes “and then Ichiban eats some bread” and the entire animation and modelling team just goes oh yeah? oh yeah??? oh he’ll eat some fucking bread alright
