I hope it will. It was real unfortunate to see such a great  franchise unappreciated. Japanese games renaisance is hopefully real instead of just a huge effort. Would be fantastic after last gen.

Calling it, SEGA will pretend it doesn't exist because it's not a Sonic game.

John Hardin confirmed that it'll have both a physical and digital release: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=188036476&postcount=115

Also, it looks like only the PS4 version will be released. That being said: they called it a "console exclusive" at the keynote, which they usually only do if there'll be a PC version...

That's interesting... I do hope it will come to PC, as it would likely find a decent-sized audience there. I'm glad to hear it will have a retail version for PS4, as well... although retail games are a lot less interesting now that they don't have instruction manuals.

So about SEGA saying on Twitter that they can't confirm if the game will be released in Europe yet: the end of the trailer says that it is coming to Europe:

So it seems like either the community manager or the video editor fucked up.

I think it might be poor communication.


Which, with SEGA, is nothing new.

I just wanted to post that I'm so happy I get new Yakuza in a few days, and I'm so happy that I can look forward to more Yakuza afterward. Beyond excited/relieved.

Don't piss on the parade dude! Know when to give credit. SEGA America have been doing some pretty great live streams for Yakuza 5.

It's almost surreal to me that Sega decided to announce a localization before they get any numbers on 5. Don't seem like the conservative approach they tend to have these days.

Anyway, Yakuza 0 is easily the best looking game in the series, it's awesome how good the artstyle is, which is one of the reasons why I'm slightly worried about 6 since that tease with Takeshi Kitano simply didn't look as good. As far as gameplay goes, the real time style switching allow the devs to make both Majima and Kiryu much more mechanically engaging and create a combat system with much more flow since the fighting styles aren't migitated by several different characters, which reminds me a lot of Devil May Cry.

Fuck, I really want this game. Those assholes better announce a European release soon.
