It's not often that we watch a 19-minute trailer for a game and are left gob-smacked by a mere 60 seconds of it, but that's what's happened with Yakuza Zero's latest video.
As you've probably guessed from the headline, series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu will have to complete a quick-time event to properly answer a telephone, and quite frankly, it's likely the best use of the mechanic that we've ever seen. The Yakuza franchise is no stranger to often hilarious quick-time events, but this one just takes the biscuit.
If we've got your hype pumping and you just want to skip to the phone call, it starts at 5:12 as Kazuma mucks up his first attempt to grab the device. Suffice to say, we're desperate for this to make it overseas, but would you answer the call? Talk to us in the comments section below.
Oh, and just a quick warning: a lot of this video is definitely not safe for work.

Good grief! I haven't been following this as closely as previous Yakuza titles, but the graphics when they drop down into the city are amazing.
This looks so, so, so good.
Just finished the full video. I think some of the content in this is going to raise eyebrows should it get localised.
"And just a quick warning — a lot of this video is definitely not safe for work."
The screensaver tho.
Qte to answer a phone, pretty pointless.
I frickin HATE QTE's. HATE.
I deal with them in God Of War, but why are they even still in games? I have never met anyone who actually likes them, most reviewers rip them in their reviews, & it feels like an extremely dated gameplay mechanic from the PS2 days.
I feel like a phone QTE just seems like it was put in for humor. Imagine if it was a cell phone. Press X to selfie, anyone?
Yeah, I think this was meant to be a bit of a joke... I think it's fantastic at least!
This game needs to come to the west!
Yakuza is just perfect. It is one of those rare games that manages to inspire every part of my being. An incredible franchise and one of Sony's best ever exclusives.
Mmm... I might have to play this in Japanese rather than wait for the English version.
