Title: Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin (Kenzan Sequel) [Edo Period]
Post by: Pao on August 18, 2013, 03:23:21 am
Most likely PS4.

You play as Sakamoto Ryouma in Edo Period of Japan, this is pretty much a sequel to Kenzan, something I wanted to play but couldn't.

I really hope they will localize this, will make me buy a PS4!

Kenzan's biggest problem was it never made them any money, so localising it would just make the game lose even more money, hopefully that isn't the case with this game. Not that I am hopeful of localisation, them taking so long with Yakuza 5 has me worried.

Anyway, let's watch the Kenzan intro to get hyped, I'll import day one regardless;

They should localize it as a new IP and it may be moderately successful in the West.

KENZEN made money, that's nonsense. And this game is more of a spiritual sequel to KENZEN much like placing Kirryu as the famous Miyamoto, this game places him as another legendary Samurai figure. And if its that particular samura then this definatly wont be coming to the west especially america.

Makes me think back to the early PS3 days with Valkyria, Kenzan and Virtua Fighter 5.

Would be neat if a similar line-up repeats.

It would be better if a similar line up sold around  more than 300K and not under 200K like what happened with Sega's launch PS3 titles.

I don't know what Sega was thinking anyways back then to do such expensive (in comparision to other domestic stuff) Japan-only games only on PS3.

I woudn't put it past them to do it again, and bet on that the PS4 will catch on more on fire than PS3 did in Japan.

The only one of those three that was exclusively domestic was Kenzan...

Valkyria localization and the sales that came out of it were secondary...I think.

Anywho all these 3 games were tailored to a rather small audience. Everyone else was putting their games on PS3 and 360 and wanted a huge chunk out of the west.

Valkyrie did well in the west after a price drop with strong word of mouth. It wasn't a launch game anywhere. It came out in April 08 in Japan and October in the west.



I would hardly call VF small potatoes for Sega. Virtua Fighter has always been a heavy hitter. All sold 1 million plus up to that point; most with ease. VF4 and Evo were major successes in every way a game can succeed. No reason to believe that VF5 would be anything other than a hit. It actually flopped hard... in Japan. And I would wager that has a lot to do with the relative failure of the PS3 circa 06. Numbers in the west were about par for the course relative to VF4.

Kenzan wasn't tailored to a rather small audience; it was tailored to the Japanese.

For the west, I might be mistaken, but Sonic 06 got a fuck ton of hype and a strong marketing push. There was also Condemned, Full Auto and whatever else. Sega wasn't MIA by a mile. They had their heaviest hitters and new IP both ready at launch.

SEGA Japan  In-House Teams was really late to the park on next gen development - that was somewhat helped by Lindberg and the easy of porting the likes of VT 3, VF 5 to the PS3/XBox 360 . But many of their In-House Japanese studios were late and their next gen pipelines way behind the rest

It doesn't seem to be much better for the next gen of console this time around .

Yep its the only way to grow and get serious sales . You need to be multi platform and making games with an eye to the west really . America and Europe are really where the major sales are for consoles (non Hand held )

VF5, VT3 etc were made in house, in Japan. Lindbergh was next gen. Most of Sega's biggest titles are arcade games. That'd be like saying Square wasn't ready for next gen; they just got lucky they happened to have a next gen Final Fantasy lying around.

It seems to me that just about every team was working on next gen projects in 04, 05 and 06. AfterBurner, House of the Dead, Monkey Ball, VF, VT, Fifth Phantom Saga, Psi Phi, Sonic 06 and so on. Some were canned, some were great, some were dismal. But they weren't just sitting around with their thumbs up their arses.

08 wasn't that late at all tbh.

Capcom beat them to the punch, with Lost Planet, Dead Rising, DMC4, but Konami didn't come out with MGS4 until 08, and SE with FF13 in 09.

? Lindberg was hardly state of the Art when it came it and in almost every area (bar Ram) was totally outlcassed by the 360 or PS3 . So porting game over wasn't that hard and in the end most of SEGA In-House teams were late to the Next Gen and way behind most in terms of tech and multi platform engines .

I don't count Arcade games has anyway being SEGA working on next gen consoles games and I would hardly class a MonkeyBall game on the Wii as next gen either . Compared to Capcom, FromSoftware SEGA In-House Teams seem behind and it seems no different for next gen of consoles coming soon .

Well yes, Lindbergh was outclassed, but then it also wasn't designed to have an eight year shelf life, like the consoles. They stopped making Lindberg games in what, 08? I don't remember Sega really having to add a layer of spit and polish to Virtua Fighter before porting it over to the PS3, so I would say that the Lindberg was doing work on par with early PS3. Now obviously the Lindberg was not designed to handle something like The Last of Us, but it didnt have to, given the nature of arcade gaming and the lifespan of arcade cabinets. Even the various Model cabinets and Naomi had a three year lifespan. I would consider Lindberg next gen, because a PS2/XBox/GCN/DC could not handle VF5, just like Saturn couldn't handle VF3.

And yet even RingEdge was behind the current console Tech . I really have no idea why SEGA didn't just use 360 chipset for the Arcades instead of Lindberg or RingEdge

That's the magic of AM#2 - They made amazing use of the Lindberg . That said most 360 and PS3 games would leave Lindberg games standing in the gfx dept .

Well I would say the XBox would be able to pull of a real good port of the game, if they really had too  but I get your point .

"It's not that the era itself was attractive to us so much as the people involved with it trigger stories in our minds," commented Ishin producer and writer Masayoshi Yokoyama. "I wanted to build a story this time around Sakamoto Ryoma, who's this really attention-grabbing character in history, but really there's such a vast amount of people involved with this era. You have hardline traditional samurai, you have people trying to create a whole new era for themselves, and you have others turning their eyes toward other countries. Trying to build a coherent story that brought all of these people together is a real challenge."

Quote
A lot of the most popular characters from the election will appear in Ishin, so it'll be nice to see people try to guess which characters will play which historical roles in the story. We'll be providing answers to some of those guesses shortly."

"We won't have all of them," Nagoshi added, "but there will be a lot of characters making appearances, including the ones that ranked the highest. It'll be kind of a festival atmosphere for fans of the series, and it's something I felt was important to do because it makes us feel more connected to gamers and the project we're working on."

Quote
"We may have deployed everything we could with Yakuza 5," Nagoshi said, "but that doesn't mean we're on cruise control with the quality and volume of this title. We are challenging ourselves with new things here, from the graphical presentation to the way we're bringing back the full cast. It'll be a huge step forward

The last quote makes it seem very likely its a PS4 game.

Nagoshi already said that Yakuza 5 would be the last Yakuza game on the Playstation 3.

Also that's from an ingame cutscene, but you can notice the difference in quality between what Kiryu is wearing there plus the lighting is significantly better here.

Post by: CrazyT on August 22, 2013, 07:17:14 am
The cutscenes indeed looked a lot better than ingame stuff. I really hope it's ps4, but the leap doesn't seem too huge. It's probably to be expected because there's so much you can push realism at some point it just comes to how much detail you can render in real time, resolution and fps.

Nah, it's just the team neither has the time nor the money to invest in this title I feel. You can only do so much in a series that makes 90% of it's sales in Japan which is why it still does not seem like a massive leap from Yakuza 5.

It is a shame but it is what it is, it's why Japanese developers have struggled so much the previous gen. Hopefully art direction, which they always seem to excel at, can make up for it. Sonic Unleashed, Generations and Lost World all do this and it works out just fine.

Yeah. It's probably gonna take at least a few itirations before they push out everything out of the hardware. Different from sony they dont have to sell the console so it makes sense sony is pushing it alot more with their line up. Having said that I really like the way it looks. I don't think im gonna import it though :(.

For those worried the game might take a Kenzan route (With only 3 of the main cast of the Yakuza series appearing) it seems this one will try to bring more of the established characters to ancient Japan as Daigo Dojima has been confirmed to be playing Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the 15th and last Shogun.

Sounds more like Kiryu might just be the majority of the game. Only under that assumption since he's going to be playing two characters here.

They say there will be foreigners in the game, what IF we had some of the Binary Domain characters as those foreigners! I hope Nagoshi does this.

I was actually thinking it would be cool to have a Binary Domain crossover like that.

Also we need the return of Richard Anderson, he was the most underused coolest SEGA baddie in recent times.

Title: Re: Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin (Kenzan Sequel) [Edo Period]
Post by: Centrale on September 10, 2013, 11:41:56 am
Seeing as Sega has been very hands-off with the developers they've acquired, I don't know why people think they would put Atlus to work as their localization team. If they did acquire Atlus, recent history suggests they would just have Atlus continue to do their thing.

As for this game coming to the West, I'll be surprised and delighted. I would love to wander around in a nicely realized world of this setting. Sega should take a look at how foreign films are marketed in the U.S. Although the English voiceover trailers for Yakuza 4 were decent, there's really no need to try and disguise the fact that these games are in Japanese with subtitles. Especially for something like this upcoming game, which is clearly a period piece set in Japan. Just show exactly what it is.

Thoughts on Nagoshi's statement about no more ps3 yakuza's with the game being multi cross ps3/4 now?

Personally I dont mind because i want to play the game translated so it wouldn't have made me got a ps4 unless it did get localized.. But it does kind of show that words really should be taken with a grain of salt. Gotta wonder where that  came from

I wonder if  cross gen games  is gonna be the norm for most devs.

he just asked me where I was from, why I can speak japanese etc...I answered him I learned japanese because Yakuza release in europe and america was very late xD (not true...but lol) and he just said "sorry" xD

then, we took a photo together, I said him "thanks" and he asked me to check the photo in case it was not good to take one more (very gentle! XD), so we took a second one...and then other fans (almost all of them were female) came near to him to ask for a photo too so I got a little busy :P


I think I`ll try to buy a PS4...I`m a little scared about problems I read on amazon and other websites...and I haven`t preordered one yet too..so I don`t know if I`ll get one...
But if I get one and it has no problem I will play it on PS4, if I don`t get it or it has a problem and I will not be able to use it when Ishin! comes out I`ll play it on PS3....

what about you?

Then we have Yakuza 3, she received a major overhaul as did all other characters looking pretty photo realistic.

Essentially the same in Yakuza 4

and Dead Souls

So a couple of days back I saw this and if it wasn't for the Title stating it is Haruka, I could've never recognized her.
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Haruka4.jpg)

Apparently it started with Yakuza 5
(http://www.sosgamers.com/wp-content/gallery/yakuza-5-ps3/yakuza-5-549.jpg)

I have to say I really don't like the change.
To me it looks like an entirely different person.

Same actress, just the character has progressively gotten older.

And she looks the same there if you ask me (Look at the eyes for example) just they tied up her hair.

he just asked me where I was from, why I can speak japanese etc...I answered him I learned japanese because Yakuza release in europe and america was very late xD (not true...but lol) and he just said "sorry" xD

then, we took a photo together, I said him "thanks" and he asked me to check the photo in case it was not good to take one more (very gentle! XD), so we took a second one...and then other fans (almost all of them were female) came near to him to ask for a photo too so I got a little busy :P

Heh, never though Nagoshi would be the SEGA producer that gets mobbed by fangirls.

I think I`ll try to buy a PS4...I`m a little scared about problems I read on amazon and other websites...and I haven`t preordered one yet too..so I don`t know if I`ll get one...
But if I get one and it has no problem I will play it on PS4, if I don`t get it or it has a problem and I will not be able to use it when Ishin! comes out I`ll play it on PS3....

what about you?

I always wait a year or two before I buy a new console (Since SEGA left the console market) so all hardware issues would be rectified by the time it comes on the market. Sony taught me this lesson when my Playstation 2 kept scratching my game discs!

So I'll probably get it on Playstation 3, but if the Playstation 4 version has some extra features I might just ditch waiting too long and get Ishin and a Playstation 4 the coming summer.

SEGA West needs a store that sells more than digital titles. I'd love to see them sell exclusive shirts and perhaps import merch from SEGA Japan.

I also like how SEGA Japan has cool stuff like the Sega Ages 2500 releases.

60 fps Ishin. It's the only version that I can buy when it gets localized. =)

Sega is putting quite a lot into Vita interactivity features for this game. I'm curious how much more this game costs to develop compared to Yakuza 3 or 4.

There is higher resolution textures but that's about it, aside from 60 FPS.

Not too surprising since it looks to be a port. I still do think though that the first PS4 shots shown looked really nice. I imagine there's a noticeable difference when you're not watching it on youtube. Though, probably not such a big difference that it's going to make people run out and buy a PS4, but it's a nice bump in eye-candy for existing PS4 owners/people planning on getting a PS4.

Hopefully the next Yakuza game uses an engine that shines on the PS4.

Didn't say that there aren't games that do have substantial differences. Need for Speed Rivals looks pretty good on PS4 compared to PS3. But generally there won't be a big difference. (see Assassin's Creed 4, Injustice, Call of Duty Ghosts, LEGO Marvel etc.)

Assassin Creed 4 started life out as a 360/PS3 title I wouldn't expect many changes . Yakuza 5 was mean to be the last game in the series on the PS3 while the Team turned to the next gen and yet the new games looks just like a PS3 game.

It's just another let down from SEGA Japan these days

Well, the game looks like another Comic adventure............ but in 3d. I love comic adventures.

You know what I played VF5, and it looked terrible, for a Game console game, of course I was playing it via a koisk thingy. We are talking about the average person, making a little above minimum wage, not a person using credit, running a wealthy business.

We never got to see the full power of the Dreamcast because it's life was cut short, and if Capcom could pull a RE4 on the pathetic PS2, I do not see why people could make great Dreamcast games still.

I didn't understand half of that post.

RegalSin, your posts really aren't making much sense. Please stick to the topic at hand and try to make posts that people can understand.

You're not exactly breaking rules, but most of your posts are very hard to decipher and the last two in particular don't even have to do with the game the topic is supposed to be about.

What has this got to do with Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin?

Nobody seems to ever understand anything, It is a comic adventure, I like them but I get so tired when nothing happens. This game seems to also mimic Shenmue in a way as well. Maybe you can understand that.

I'm staying far away from this one.

Actually, no I can't resist; RegalSin, did you really suggest that Sega should have released VF5 on Dreamcast about 10 years after the console died?

I think Ishin is the worst RGG ever.

Substories are only 67, and a lot of them are like "give object x to person y"
Revelations have no more funny scenes
The city is big, but there is no countryside(?), forest etc (Kenzan had)
No more hostess (well, "Oiran"), this time you can`t talk, date etc, you can only play 3 minigames
Lot of time to play, but almost everything is BATTLE!
50 levels for battle style, 99+99 base levels, 40 dungeons, so many low drop rate item to collect to make katana, guns etc.
Just battle, battle, battle, no more funny things to do, no more the old, funny, RGG.
Playing Ishin made me want to play old RGGs...
I hope next one will be better...I`m very disappointed.

Oh shit.

I do remember vaguely one of the sidequests (is that improper?) when playing the Ishin demo; it involved giving a kid an item nearby the area where you can fish. I barely know Japanese, but I think he had been abandoned or left alone by someone or "everyone" (minna?) and he was putting on a tough face but broke down after a while. You counsel him for a bit and his spirits rise.

How is that companion system for dungeon crawling? Does it make the dungeons noticeably easier/would it be fine to progress the dungeons with minimal set ups?

Petition is Online!

Help bring YAKUZA ISHIN! to US & Europe!

http://www.change.org/petitions/sega-corporation-yakuza-ishin-release-for-the-playstation-4-in-the-us-and-europe (http://www.change.org/petitions/sega-corporation-yakuza-ishin-release-for-the-playstation-4-in-the-us-and-europe?utm_source=guides&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created)


I signed it, but why is the goal only 100 signatures?  That's aiming pretty low isn't it?  When we did the petition for Morgan Creek to release the extended version of Clive Barker's Nightbreed, it took 10,000 signatures to get their attention.

Yeah exactly, if it reached like 20,000 signatures, then it matters. (Since thats about as much likes as the Hatsune Miku facebook post by SEGA received in likes.)

I thought the goals seem to adjust as they are reached.

Finally got around to playing the demo.

How are these fights not over in two seconds? I have a gun now! The swords I can dig, but I think adding the gun is a bit much.

Despite not knowing what the hell I'm doing, I still managed to get through the main story part of the demo. No mini games though. Bummer.

Also downloaded the Puyopuyo/Tetris demo. Anyone know how much this is on the Japanese PSN store?

Puyopuyo Tetris PS3 version isn't on PSN. You have to import or get the digital vita version. Don't ask me why, I think it's a bad decision. PS3 version should be on PSN, too.

There's just the fishing minigame I think. I didn't want to actually play it, I lost patience for it when I got to it in Yakuza 3 =P. It's to the far left outside of the building you exit from at the start of the demo, around the corner of the pier.

as for the gun, in the demo it does little damage and the enemies don't recoil much.

I'll go look for that Puyopuyo/Tetris demo though!

That bolded part bothers me. IT'S A FUCKING GUN!! I can accept swords taking a long time to kill no problem. Swords replacing the traditional fighting in the Edo period makes sense, but having guards with swords act like bullet sponges is just ridiculous and unrealistic in every word.

Eh, a sword can kill in one hit too.

And are we really talking about realism in a series that has tiger fighting, escaping from a chasing transvestite, lingerie stealing ninjas and Hercules feat of super strength. I embrace the series isn't realistic at all!

*Also the historical character that Kiryu plays was known to wield a revolver

Not to mention the whole series has had useless guns anyway, it makes sense that this is no exception.
Come to think of it, how come nobody had Heat moves for guns outside of the Dead Souls?
