Can't wait to see what they have planned, Yakuza 5 dethroned Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as my favourite game so I'm excited to see what Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has planned.

Here's hoping it won't be a cross-gen game but with Playstation 4 sales in Japan I doubt it.

You mean the one that made him "retire" without getting a chance to complete SHENMUE? Yeah that's the nice Sega we all want...

Great another new YAKUZA game nobody in the west will be able to play...
What's the point? Only a few of us like me are able to play it when its eventually released. Most of the guys are still waiting on the other two because of localization. The ghost of bernie stolar strikes again!!

Yakuza will not be a Playstation 4 exclusive in Japan. That pretty much seals it for me, not only do I not need a PS4 for a while longer but I think it says massively of the condition of the Playstation 4's future in Japan.

I should get around to buying Yakuza 5 on import one of these days. Then trying to understand it with a translation guide or something :(

That's what I'll be doing, I suppose. I was pretty sure they were going to localize it, but once the Sega West producer 'Yas' left, I think there wasn't a contingent of Yakuza supporters in Sega West anymore to find some budget scraps for it.

You guys are in luck, not only is it probably the most import friendly (The main storyline anyway) it only has two points where you would actually need a guide. Thankfully KHH Subs have been putting up some brilliant videos up and we have this brilliant guide up http://homepage.ntlworld.com/yimbocarimbo/RGG/Games/RGG5/index.htm (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/yimbocarimbo/RGG/Games/RGG5/index.htm) so you won't be getting stuck much!

Trust me, it's worth it guys, YOU GET TO PUNCH BEARS IN THE NUTS!

And the Haruka section is one of my favourites.

Oh dear. The major third party Japanese pub/devs aren't making a commitment to the next generation with their bigger franchises. Except for I guess Koei-Tecmo.

This is very worrisome. Adoption is too slow. And what does this say about localization - which companies are going to be willing to print PS3 discs in the west?

edit: I realize that Persona 5 is still coming out in 2015 in the West, so the doomsday clock has a lot of time left and I wasn't entirely right, but considering the delays that are generally endemic to localized games (we get it later than Japan more often than not) this could hurt the attractiveness of localization of some games if the publisher insists on doing it in house.

What's going to be the reason for most people to keep their PS3's? Right now it's because of the lack of backwards compatibility and that Gaikai streaming service or whatever on PS4 still being nonoperational. It's possible that once that happens, more people will ditch their PS3's. When that happens, will more third parties work on PS4? The only thing I'm aware of that's next-gen exclusive from the major third parties is some PS4 title that Ono from Capcom is working on.

Never said he didn't but he was treated poorly at Sega towards the end according to some people. So it makes no difference if he had put a PR spin on it. It ammounts to the same thing. Nice Sega... Sega not even a shadow of their former glory where all the legends of sega are now gone and their subsidaries are nothing but a glorified PC COMPANY or "bad" Sega where we had games like SHENMUE,SONIC JSR and countless others bursting out of the seams and being released in the west as well.

Why would they? Japan has moved towards digital mobile gaming in a massive way especially in the last five years even Sega, that's where everyone is making their money now. Its cheap to make and the returns are enourmous. The only traditional outlet they are comitted to is the nintendo handheld systems and even that may not last long. That's the reality of Japan and asia at the moment. Most of the consumers are playing mobile games now and not getting systems in their droves. If it continues which it should since this was predicted a while back it then remains to be seen if the japan companies can adapt if they want to continue making console titles.

Its Japan - that place is now Handheld central . Shame SEGA Japan haven't woken up the fact that its West and America when the main consoles sales are and you need Multi Platform games that are made with the west in mind . One day SEGA Japan may get it , but it may take until Yakuza 10 for that :(

Oh no, I have a good idea of what the reality is. It is a disaster. It's not something console titles can adapt to. Certainly not without major changes or casualties - franchises made dormant, structural changes like DLC or free to play integration, relegation of developers to mobile (hello Itagaki), and we already have these and still the consumer landscape isn't good. Apparently this past week's sales in Japan were noticeably bleak.

In any case, something's got to convince more of the gaming populace in Japan to pick up a next gen console if we're worried about console gaming, and that's not happening without more games. And then of course there is little reason, at least on the surface, to make that departure if you're a Japanese third party pub/dev and make low-risk high-reward mobile games. So, barring some radical realignment of tastes in the West (appreciation of Japanese games increases) and Japan (appreciation of console gaming increases, hey why not, apparently the guy working on Mana games wants to make a console Mana game, which takes major guts) or some structural change in localization practices there isn't anything to adapt to, I don't think.

You actually bring up an interesting thing I hadn't thought about - the irony in the West, namely America, purchasing so many consoles but being unable to put forth the requisite demand for the console games Japan is making. But that is no mystery.

You can always hold out hope against hope - against all odds the Tales franchise came back from dormancy in the West and now it regularly gets Limited Editions in the West and lots of general promotion. But this is bigger than one franchise, and I can't tell you what in the world would help the consumer division. Stop with the failed risks, sure, but that's a lot easier said than done.

The question of multiplat though is not something I'm sure is essential. For one - multiplat more often than not means PS4 and Xbox One, barring any seismic shift in Nintendo's third party relations and image, and even then we have to account for the concept of developing a game on three systems, which is costly and each has different infrastructure and blah blah blah.

The Wii U is dead format for 3rd parties and only good for Nintendo . The XBox and PS4 share much the same spec for CPU much the GPU (just differnce on shaders ect) and it isn't that much for a effort to get code running on both platforms and nowhere near the trouble of getting code to run on both the PS3 and 360 .


Not every game needs to be multi , but all the major Platform corps have their major IP and their big budget AAA games multi platform and with made with America in mind . Its the only way you can get the big sales and make the big money . SEGA Japan needs to wake up to this or it will lose out big time for another generation sadly

Console hardware sales and games on them has shrunk over a decade now in Japan while the mobile market has gotten bigger down there and seen tremendous growth. Bigger than the handheld market. And that includes the rest of asia as well. If the big companies want to adapt than they will most likely have to start ignoring the Japanese market altogether and re shift to the west again if the console sales grow bigger and the japan console sales grow weaker... but i doubt that will even happen.

Oh no i didnt said he wasnt treated poorly by them XD, in fact i dont know what happend between them if somethig did, but you get me wrong i wasnt comparing the SEGA from the 90 and from today, if that is the case i prefer the SEGA from the 90 just like you :). I was just saying that the SEGA from today is much better with the yakuza franchise than without it, like it is they key franchise is japan at least.

I know what you were saying but i'm making an obvious fact. Sega with Yakuza as a company really isn't comparable to the Sega in the early noughties before the DC died. So whether Suzuki is being polite it just isn't true that its nice anymore.
As for YAKUZA, while it is a key game in japan its not the game they soley rely on anymore. PSO 2, that vocaloid game and several digital social games are bringing in the big money these days. ISHIN really didn't do well for a YAKUZA title.

Again, i am not comparing the SEGA from the 90 and the SEGA from tody with yakuza i agree with you obvious fact, and about Yu suzuki i was just mentioning a phrase he said, i was not trying to said anything between lines if you think that.
About the yakuza franchise in japan i think is still profitable for them because they will do another game it semms, but you already know that, i am not sure if hatsune miku sells more for them than yakuza or if it is a more profitable game, maybe Aki could help us with that. In the end we are agree man, we dont need to expand this topic.
Title: Re: New Yakuza

Yakuza may be profitable but it's a declining franchise with a gradually shrinking fanbase.

With the end of releasing the games in the West, it's one of many indicators that Sega has given up on growing this franchise at all and are pretty much just content to run it into the ground until the well dries up.

Looking at Aki's link for how Nagoshi and his producer describe the next Yakuza game;

Quote
The pair also say bustling urban environments will be a thing, and that they hope to make a game that their target male audience can enjoy. They’re currently holding auditions for men to portray some of the game’s city dwellers.

Miku sells more. Easily.
YAKUZA is a franchise in Japan but its getting stale. Its hard to tell because the spin offs don't make the money as much as the main series does. And it appears that the wider fan base doesn't want to play the spin offs they want the main game/concept of the series. YAKUZA is a key title for Sony because the third title help shift PS3's in Japan. So unless the sixth one fails to do a similar feat that's when people can say that its fanbase is shirking. Until that happens no one can say based on the sales of a spin off game that not many were going to get anyway.

There's a ridiculous amount of over the top moments in Yakuza 5. It's a game you should definitely try and probably one of SEGA's best games last generation, well the simple virtue of having Virtua Fighter 2 seals that deal, but yeah, buy it when you can brother!

I sort of agree; I don't imagine they've had previous difficulty with that demographic. But I've seen this comment translated elsewhere as "allow male gamers to more fully enjoy this game" so, there's that.

Then of course, the revelation as to what exactly he's talking about. (http://kotaku.com/one-thing-we-know-about-this-new-sega-game-porn-stars-1599590581)

They're going for male auditions just like they have auditions for women.
Title: Re: New Yakuza
Post by: Ben on July 08, 2014, 10:20:54 pm
I'm not referring to that bit about the auditions (honestly I wasn't even aware that it was even controversial until now) but more the bit when Nagoshi's asked to talk up the next Yakuza and declares it to be about "bustling urban environments" and "for males." Which to me is sort of like if Square-Enix were asked what fans should look forward to about the next Final Fantasy game and they said that it would "have cutscenes."

To me it just reeks of treading old ground and lacking inspiration. I'd have loved to have played Yakuza 5, sadly Sega didn't see it that way. I don't know if it's less of a retread of Yakuza 3 than Yakuza 4 was; I hope so. My point is though that I don't see how anyone involved in the making of the Yakuza series these days is inspired to continued; their efforts to branch the series out have all done far worse, and so they're pretty much stuck just releasing the same game every year to the same (shrinking) audience.

- They are all getting paid.
- They are, I imagine, doing their dream job of making video games.
- They are working on one of the few remaining third party Japanese console games.
- They are working on what is considered a prestigious series in their native country.
- They are commercially and critically successful in their homeland.
- They have a legion of 500,000+ fans that turn up for each mainline installment.

I'm sure there are more reasons, you might as well argue how could From Software motivate themselves to develop countless Armoured Core and dark fantasy titles, what a drag it must be for them doing what they like to do. Not everyone is looking to develop the next Grand Theft Auto or Child of Eden.

Though I don't quite see the merits in this discussion, there is still a large contingent that enjoy the Yakuza games, like there are those who enjoy the Persona games or Harvest Moon games or Miku games and their respective developers/producers will continue to make games geared to those demographs as long as budgets allow it. Not everyone is looking for the next NiGHTS or Uncharted to play.

I know you're not being entirely serious here, but you also get paid picking fruit off of trees, lol.

And their dream job of making video games can also apply to shovelware like Ninjabread or Superman 64.

Anyway I'm assuming that most game developers are creatives who want to stretch their wings a little. Maybe I'm wrong. I'd think that working on the same thing every year (no matter what thing) would get tiring. Not even just being specifically about Yakuza.

Yakuza 4 has more straight up action than Yakuza 3. Yakuza 3 is focusing on Kiryu's retirement from organized crime and how he's slowly dragged back into it, the payoff is much much better than Yakuza 4 but it takes it's time to get there.

They get paid significantly more for developing video games than picking fruits. I'm not sure how shovel ware is comparable to Yakuza but okay.

And I'm not sure about the slant against "Creatives" because they might enjoy working on their favoured niche.

Really worried about the long term viability of consoles in Japan, think even if the PS4 picks up it would be too late to stop the mobile gaming takeover.

By 2020 Yakuza would have been retired and we'd have Kingdom Conquest 6 and Chain Chronicle 4. Please be excited.

Remember were talking about Sega here...a company that has milked Sonic for all his worth instead of taking him to the vet and putting him out of his misery years ago. They'll be making YAKUZA way after Kiryu's a pensioner or worse when he's dead...

How long did it take to actually get any good? I just got sick and tired of dealing with little kid day care issue..

I honestly have no issue with this series going on still. It's better than having it fall on it's face and people losing jobs. If it's profitable for Sega, then keep it going.

I'd say the first game without a doubt was the best in the series, followed by 2 and three. After that it got too bloated and overcrowded....
Its funny how Nagoshi has become a victim of his own success. He can't get a new game off the ground but is stuck making Yakuza games..

Nagoshi-san is part of the trouble , he himself have blocked many a new game idea .

They get paid significantly more for developing video games than picking fruits. I'm not sure how shovel ware is comparable to Yakuza but okay.

Actually most game developers don't make a ton of money, dude. Unless you're the lead creatives of a studio or something, you're not making a ton. Picking fruit is making a point but yeah generally speaking, most programmers, artists, etc. (hell even writers) don't necessarily make a ton of money.

Shovelware is again, me making a point. You say they should be happy simply to be working on a game. Well, why not make shovelware? They'd still fulfill their dream of making a game.

Why wouldn't you be happy making a long running game series? Honestly, the only thing I'm a bit pissed about is that its cross gen and not a real next generation game. Meaning still using a damn aging engine. Its bad when the Yakuza engine wasn't even up to PS3 standards.

I'm not sure why you're surprised. Yakuza has always been behind the times graphically. Yakuza's PS3 engine, like you said. was behind the PS3 standards and I don't see why that would change, even if it weren't cross-gen.

And I'd like to work on a long-running series like Final Fantasy, which gets to re-invent itself each time. Otherwise...eh, not particularly, nah. I'd like working on something new at some point.

The average wage for a developer in America is close to $80k, the average wage for a Japanese developer is close to $60k, well above both countries Per capita. These are not low paying jobs.

Though I'm not sure why you pick on those select points to make a counter point that have nothing in common with Yakuza.

That was in 2003/4 when Naka-san and Nagoshi-san called the shots on what games were greenlite . Tbh while SEGA output wasn't the best due to money issues , its was still a hell of lot better than it is now .


Yu-Suzuki-san never called the shots on what games were greenlite - other than being on the board of the Dreamcast members . Nagoshi-san still has a say on the games at SEGA and is part of the trouble

Because they don't really have the freedom like they did when they were just making video games. Its proven that game developers sometimes don't make the best game executives. At least in Sega.  You'd think at least in the position that Naka and Nagoshi is in the overall output from Sega would have improved. But remember this, Sega had an internal development structure that each dev team was in competition with the other team. That's part of the reason why Sega had so many great games down the years. So add that and the ego that you get with a superstar developer, if he sees a game idea that he feels is better than what he has...what do you think will happen? "It won't sell".."its not sega enough"
.."its too westernized, we only sell for japan" and other stupid excuses. While some may scoff at this its a sad part of life that some people think about themselves rather than what's good for the company as a whole.  Its all politics at the end of the day.

Its not a personal playpen either. These guys also answer to the big board who expects Nagoshi to keep churning out YAKUZA. But compared to what he use to produce he was making 4-5 games in a 4 year period. Now all he's done is YAKUZA, HEROBANK and BD. And they have been the focus of Sega's resources, so its not like he's not benefiting but he hasn't kept close attention on those games like he would have if he wasn't responsible as an executive for the company overall. Otherwise what happened with BD would never have happened. YAKUZA became a hit partly due to Nagoshi protecting the game and marketing from outside sources and took it upon himself to do the PR in another way. BD other than the finance problems Sega had was marketed horribly and part of the reason why it flopped.

I am not disagreeing with this at all. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue a point that everyone's in agreement with. Regarding Naka and Suzuki, I don't believe either ever were ever in the position of being Chief Creative Officer for the company, or even close to it. I don't think it's comparable.

While I agree that it's not entirely Nagoshi's fault, (he does, as you point out, have to answer to a board) I don't think you can express disappointment with the types of games a company's putting out without placing at least some of the blame on their Chief Creative Officer.

I take issue with Nagoshi because as Chief Creative Officer, he seems to be focusing his company's efforts almost entirely on the Yakuza franchise, which is no longer released to Western fans, which makes me think that he doesn't care at all about us. Why not have a team develop something that will be able to see release in Western territories?



Title: Re: New Yakuza
Post by: jonboy101 on July 12, 2014, 10:40:10 am
Why would he care about us? The Yakuza franchise never made any money in the west, and Sega's been spending plenty of money buying and building up western development teams. There seems to be little incentive in translating the games, to be perfectly honest. They sell poorly and get mediocre reviews over here.

I imagine that Sega will continue to build up their western stables for PC gaming and gradually cease making large scale console games in Japan in favor of mobile. It'll also be interesting to see if the bill to legalize casinos makes it through Japan's parliament, and how that impacts the dwindling pachinko market.

It is comparable because they were given more responsibilities than just doing the job they were actually good at. You can see the moment when Naka, Suzuki and Nagoshi took these executive positions that their game output suffered. SONIC(which in my opinion never had a good game since the MD/CD era) defiantly suffered. Suzuki didn't make that many Sega games either and Nagoshi's only attempt was BD which was never given a chance but compared to the output he and his studio use to release its pathectic. i won't even bother going into detail about Hisao Oguchi and how his mismanagement of Sega phucked things up as well as Hitmaker becoming the VIRTUA TENNIS studio and not much else. But he was always a good yes man...
The point is that their focus wasn't on their studio or their creations and the games started to suffer for it.

Or Jonboy..buy other companies like Atlus or Capcom and let them carry the can while only continuing to make a SONIC or a YAKUZA every few years while the bulk of the output is Arcade and digital. That way you maintain your market presence via your subsidiaries in japan and the west while spending minimal R and D yourselves for consoles. Not saying that is their new direction or intention ...

I understand what you're saying.

But the point being made isn't that Nagoshi's games are suffering (honestly he's mainly been making the same games for the past 7+years anyway) it's that he's in a position of power where he's almost directly in charge of his company's creative output.

So even if he's not able to sit in on the development of every single game due to his obligations, at the very least he's responsible for the types of projects being greenlit.

Which is all that's been said. Again, nobody's disputing the rest, that key developers being given higher up positions can make their games suffer. I'm not sure that's the case here, however.

What I do know is that as Chief Creative Officer, Nagoshi plays a big role in the types of games Sega's releasing. That was what we were discussing.

You're very naive in the realities of game development and game company politics. I'm not really going to repeat myself either. The evidence is out there for all to see. Even TA kept harping about Naka leaving Sega just to be free from the burden of responsibility placed upon him in his corporate capacity within Sega. And i disagreed with him in the fact that Naka wanted it in the first place and was given way too many chances. The point is for whatever reason their game output suffered. Nagoshi didn't just make YAKUZA games in his heyday. Yet he's become lazy, too corporate and not really using anything to his real ability. I'm not going to complain that YAKUZA is coming out all the time because all Japanese companies exploit a franchise especially when they have invested a lot of money in the engine, they need to keep using it and gain their investment back before they retool it for the next gen. But he sure hasn't done anything much other than that title. And since he's been in charge of development Sega hasn't come up with that many killer app if at all. Considering that guy's pedigree and his reputation(and his many articles going on about what's wrong with game development in EDGE) that's just criminal. For whatever reason getting a executive position affects people in different ways and none of them has been positive.

A bit strong...but i wouldn't say that...but yes things could be better...At least Suzuki left AM2 in good hands and they still produced some quality games, i dunno why Nagoshi can't do the same if he can't put all his attention to it.

That's fair.

Well, I imagine the Alien game will be reasonably successful; likewise with the next Total War, Football Manager and whatever Relic is making. I imagine as the generation continues, Sega's PC output will become more impressive. The western end of the company, from what I can tell, hasn't been this strong since the mid 1990s.

I'm not sure what to think about the Japanese market. From what I can tell, they're making all the right moves. They've had several reasonable hits on the mobile market, PSO 2 has had, what, 2 million downloads - probably quite a bit more since that report came out. That's definitely helping that brand's awareness. Despite it getting stale, the Yakuza games are still doing quite well. It's about to celebrate its tenth birthday, no?

Japanese arcades are about dead, and I think Sega's still adapting to that. The company doesn't really have too much experience with games that last more than 5 hours and its becoming harder to justify asking consumers to spend 50 dollars on something like a Daytona game.

Yes but that's when he started to become important to the company and the company wanted more SMB games. Like they would have wanted more specific games from a particular Sega team if its really succesful and doesn't cost much to make.Not sure how activly involved he was with all of the sequels though,only think he was involved in the first three..could be wrong on that..

Sega is always adapting to something..i just wish they took the lead a little bit more rather than assimilate to the industry demands. Yes they're doing well on digital and PC but they either doing the exact kinda thing everyone else is doing or buying a studio that already is doing well on that field they want to go into like PC. I want Sega to just shake things up by producing a game once in a while that everyone will say wow...and everybody else tries to copy but can't get it exactly right..

I have very high hopes the Alien game will do that. I'm hardly an expert, but the tech involved seems very impressive - referencing the AI. It's thinking. Really a pity they aren't thinking about making the full game with occulus rift. I imagine Sega will be smart enough to adapt the Alien tech to other games though.

I'm not sure to what extent you consider Creative Assembly part of Sega, though, I suppose. If successful, I hope they're able to continue stepping out of the RTS genre.

They'll be making YAKUZA way after Kiryu's a pensioner or worse when he's dead...
 

I would play a Yakuza game where Kiryu cleans up the nursing home of retired criminals.
"Hey you're a lucky guy! Lucky in that you get to give me your back medication!"
*VS Retired Yakuza*

Then you beat them up with walking frames and the heat move near a bed is to throw them into it then press the 'Bed Rise' button to launch them into the TV hanging from the ceiling.

Oh, and @BEN: I still remember you as ShadowLegend, but that's neither here nor there. You mention Yakuza games not being 'Creative' but I argue that while there is definitely merit in being creative and making 'new' ideas, I also think there's almost/equal enjoyment and challenge involved in refining and perfecting a series. Yakuza games consistently are released as high quality titles and each one adds new features and new ideas that build the underlying gameplay. I personally would have no issue whatsoever playing Yakuza games on and on with the same basic gameplay, but refined combat, more moves, more mini-games and more fun overall. I have no doubt that there is a big challenge involved in 'how can we improve this already very highly regarded series'.

The same way Visual Concepts was part of Sega. A sega 1.5 studio or i just prefer to say Sega west as its easier, especially when in sega history sega had their own western studios from the eighties, to the nineties and now in this period.
 
As for wow games...yes because they did change tactic but they didn't abandon consoles entirely or this ALIEN game would not have been made. They need to adjust to how console game are made if they want to go toe to toe with the best of them. Maybe Creative Assembly console division is what they need to build original new ip for the west..and new ideas from Sega japan consumer division too..

Maybe at first..but since this is spinning from the Yakuza genre from the movies and books there's dozens of scanrios that they could use where it doesn't have to end the same way..i mean where are the Yakuza women for gods sake. I use to watch tons of films about female yakuza herorines. That's something i'm suprised they haven't even gone into.

Yes I am excited for Yakuza next, but after the ending to Yakuza 5, I'm just not sure where the plot can go.

Of course a game starring Joji and Kazama set before Kiryu would be great too, always loved both characters and would love to have a game starring them and showing the old crew (Shimano, Kasawagi, Sera etc) and how the Toji Clan came to be.

Maaaang, there is like over 4 shirtless fights in Yakuza 5, you should give it a go! Go go go!

But I don't speak moon-runes.

I wanted to say something angsty about not buying it on principle and down with Sega ra-ra-rah, but you know me too well to fall for that.

Also I have no consoles since I moved country so I couldn't play it on anything :x

The teams alternate between two.

But that's the nature of the industry now, I don't expect new IPs from them after Binary Domain was a major financial failure. I'm also not sure how rigid their team structure is considering people from Sonic Team helped develop the Black Panther spinoffs.

(And I for one, welcome the endless amount of sequels. I need my daily dose of food cart submissions.)

They will get one because of who is in charge of Yakuza studio. It just depends whether Sega can organize themselves properly to create a hit out of their next original title. We know they can do it after seeing the sales of other Sega titles with less of a pedigree than YAKUZA Studio who is meant to be the top dog in SOJ at the moment.

rumor:


Quote
Yakuza 0 is set in December 1988 Kamurocho, Tokyo and Soutenbori, Osaka, this week’s Famitsu reveals.
The protagonists are 20-year-old Kazuma Kiryu and 24-year-old Majima Goro. Kiryu works as a bill collector under the Tojo Clan’s Dojima Family. Goro, on the other hand, is a cabaret club manager who turned a spot that was on the verge of closing into the most popular club in Soutenbori.
The events of Yakuza 0 are directly connected to the events of the original Yakuza. Thus, many characters from the original will appear in the upcoming prequel.
Yakuza 0 is in development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. A release date is still to be announced.

*waits for someone to come in and explain that Sega made eleven jillion dollary-doos from Hatsune Miku Bikini Micro Transaction Adventure exclusively on iOS and Android, and made a net loss of twenty cents on Yakuza: Dead Souls, which was the best selling Yakuza game in the USA, with both copies being sold by accident to a short-sighted old lady trying to buy Dark Souls for her grandsons.*

Either way, it's sad that even a new Yakuza doesn't pique my interest any more. Well it does a little bit.

Excited, really looking forward to not only a younger Kazuma but also we get to see Nishiki, Kazama, Shintoro, Sera, Kashiwagi, Yumi etc all over again. Exploring Kazuma's relationship with his first love is going to be an interesting one.

Also going to be great to see how they do Majima in the game, in Dead Souls he wasn't doing hand to hand combat.

But the storyline is awesome and doesn't require a guide to complete except for one or two parts : (

You won't be able to enjoy most of the extra content from Haruka's idol management to Saejima's animal hunting segments though which is a shame since this is the stuff preventing the game from coming over here.

If its going to be like the other games..forget it. A young Kazuma can't be the heroic figure of the previous games where he kind of retired and stood apart from the Yakuza..he has to be like a Yakuza in this game since its a prequel. IE this has to be more like GTA than the first game never was because the scenario is completely different. I don't expect it to be that over the top like GTA but the morality and certain things has to be in tone like that game..ie you are committing criminal acts and knowing the yakuza actually killing certain people. If its just the same nonsense of a reflective sad kazuma playing the good yakuza and"in love" which i suspect may be in this title..than i wait until it goes down in low price and sceond hand....and if Sonny Chiba aint in it i'll wait even further to buy it...

I just bought Famitsu and I have a few more details about the story:


As the rumors said the story will be placed in December 1988 at Kamurocho and Soutenbori.
In that period there was a fight to get the contract to build the Milleium Tower.
An evening, Kiryu collects money from a person that suddently get murdered.
Tojo-kai suspect the killer was Kiryu and they point the spearhead to Kazama too.
To protect him, Kiryu decide to leave Doujima-gumi, but...


In the meantime, Majima lives in Osaka and manage a Cabaret Club in Soutenbori under Oumirengo protection.
Majima is hiding himself from Tojo-kai (you know the reason if you played Yakuza 4), but he still dream about go back into yakuza.
One day he receive an offer, he can return into yakuza if he kills a person...

I am interested in the angle they're going to take in portraying Kiryu. Like...how sensitive or conflicted he'll be. I never played the first game.

In any case seeing as this is a prequel I think this is a nice opportunity for Sega to "relaunch" the franchise outside of Japan. They can redo the way they brand the game. Since chronology and plot is so important to the game, they have the option of both giving the franchise a "fresh start" without going for the messy reboot option that could split apart the franchise. If the prequel is moderately successful, Sega could consider making compilations/remasters of the previous games to catch the new fans up to speed.

Those more intimately familiar with Yakuza should comment on this also...what do y'all think?

This is just going to be more of the same really and the 80's angle is just a cheap and easy way of being able to keep most of the original assets with just minimal changes to give it a 80's retro look.
I'm willing to bet most of the same old animation, same old moves , same old gameplay, same old GFX will be reused and deep down they'll be nothing new and the only highlight will be playing some of SEGA old sprite scalers in the Arcades .

SEGA needs to give Yakuza and the Yakuza team a break and work on a new IP or better yet make a kick as sequel to Binary Domain

No I agree on this point completely. But I feel they won't capitalise on this golden chance and the game would be ignored for localisation. I feel though their decision (SoE/SoA) is already made up and the series won't be coming over to the West anymore.

With Yakuza 5 you had the justification of the title being both the longest in the series, attributing to higher localisation cost and Haruka's segment (A good 3 hours) that would alienate the fanbase.

With this there is no such issue. At least presently.

it will be sold in Spring 2015 (source: Official Website).

Ah Spring, or as I like to call it, Yakuza season.

I hate Naka. But i will say that when Sonic Team was at their prime was when they created their other games outside Sonic..they were becoming the AM2 of the consumer division..in a way its too bad it didn't carry on.

I actually think that would be a great idea, try to re-launch the game in the west. Don't call it Yakuza Zero, but launch it with the title "Like a Dragon" or "Yakuza: Like a Dragon".

I thought they should have tried this previously too, Yakuza 4 for example should have been named "Yakuza: Four Dragons" as it might have made it seem like an easier 'jumping on' point for newbies to the series.

I doubt they will try again though, they've made efforts since the first Yakuza to launch them in the west, but never really found their footing, I don't see why they would try with this one. I'll keep my fingers crossed though!

The engine is based on the one they developed for Binary Domain.

Not sure what RGG Studio is going to do about new IPs/the future though. It's a strange situation they find themselves in, can't trust their Western branches to market their games, can't fall back on a dwindling Japanese market for long and SEGA unlike Capcom, Konami etc do not have established IPs that sell well to the Western market outside of Sonic the Hedgehog. Not really a positive long term outlook.

It's very much more of a fan / nostalgia game than the best in the series. Pretty much prefer all the numbered title except 1 to it. Like it more than Kenzan and Dead Souls though.

I heard that rumor but the reality is Sega west doesn't have the autonomy like they use to during Kalinske's reign of SOA. The guy running the Sega operations was a SOJ guy named Masanao Maeda. So Hayes can't really be blamed for BD or Sega west's lack of effort since the day to day operations was ran by that guy...and really no suprising on what eventually happened...So SOJ in my opinion is to blame here more than Sega west...Hayes was a scapegoat and shouldn't have been made to leave..

Yakuza guys should have been the ones to make a new Golden Axe, not Secret Level.

You know what, get the Yakuza team to make a new Alien game. Where you play as a Predator and roam the streets beating up Aliens, on the Alien Planet. And they kidnap a little girl Predator that you save and train female predators to be Hostesses at your Predator club.

And you know what the joke is MM...Sega australia was coming with a game that would have put them on the map...they were making games called Sega reborn with individual titles of classic IP which would have culminated with all those characters featured in one big game..just like Marvel and their superhero movie universe...
It would have been one of the interesting Sega crossover or megamix titles they'd have produced.

Yakuza team wouldn't have been interested in GOLDEN AXE. They'd have been more interested in pushing their own IPS that they were associated with like JSR.

Sega Australia being which teams? CA?

I've been wanting Sega to make a big fuck-off crossover game forever, it would work really well IMO. And I don't mean stuff like 'Let's make Mario Kart, but with Sonic'.

Yeah they use to be called Creative Assembly australia until they were restructured and called Sega studios Australia.

And no REBORN UNIVERSE was more likely some type of platform beat em up..i'm not sure which but it wasn't going to be a sonic kart game and Sonic wasn't hardly part of it. Like i said that game would have been a strong title and would have gotten excited about Sega even more because it brought their classic ips together  in one big team up game...

What you mean the ones that's been asking for SOA to localize the YAKUZA and PSO games all over the place? Or do you mean the bandwagon jumpers who say that they're sega fans (just because they happened to play a genesis once in their lifetime when they were a kid)but their sega knowledge is limited to Sonic and not even the good sonic games (and start to act they are an expert on sega and demand and dictate what Sega should be doing)?Pretty much half the peeps at gamer's republic then...

Oh you mean the handful on here . People always want stuff more when it's out of their reach . Remember the cries for Virtual Fighter 5 Final to be brought out or the calls for Yakuza 4 to be translated and in the end they both sell like crap over here .


Wake up .. SEGA is dead to most of its old fans and SEGA is offering little for us to cheer , much less look forward too

No the people here actually buy the games..they're sega fans...I'm talking about the fair whether people who say they are sega fans but never buy them..you know the ones that you were pals with...


The sega fandom died after the DC...most of them didn't bother to continue gaming after that and the ones that did had to choose between which system to get further splitting the audience.

Time to face it the sega fan of one particular era has been replaced by a new breed of one..which is what i been saying all along.

I always thought kazuma kiryu looked the way he did from 3 onwards was because he got older from the first HD itirations. Looking at a younger kazuma in this and comparing it to the one in yakuza 1 and 2 still looking like he did in 3 and 4. Thats kind of only what I find dissapointing. For some reason I just liked his looks a bit more in Yakuza 1 and 2. Just a minor thing anyway and the only thing I can say so far.

Hope this comes to west... aha.. ahahah...ahahaha

All that's gone now and even Yakuza is fast being run in to the ground with little new and old outdated tech.

You are having a laugh...who do you think brought those games...this website caters to a section of sega gamers that are not big in number...most of the numbers are probably attributed to them...so that statement is stupid.

And the point is really moot...YAKUZA is still a Sega game with some good Sega DNA and you're trashing it because of who is making the game with STUPID excuses. I don't see you slag off EA using the exact fracking engine for Madden and Fifa for over ten fing years back in the MD to whatever system it went on afterwards...what about Capcom who also used the same fing engine for SF for over a decade with no real changes? And you are slagging off sega for doing the same thing? At least the games don't play or feel the same..can't say that about other titles of its ilk..

I don't play Madden . With regards to FIFA maybe you should play the next gen versions of the game and see EA brand New Ignite engine in full force . Not only do EA had 2 teams working on Fifa (so each team has 2 years to make a new FIFA) they also now have a brand new Next Gen engine that is a massive and vast improvement on what's gone before .


Yakzua Kenzan on the PS4 looked hardly any better than on the PS3 and Yakuza Zero looks just the same .

Sorry that's just being silly. !st it wasn't 10 years SF III came out in 1997 .

Street Fighter 2 Zero games had re dawn characters and vastly improved gameplay , infact Street Fighter 3 Zero is one of the best 2D fighters ever made

So you can have the same old gameplay that people like, but with a brand new setting and tech allows the game to at least look and feel fresh

Also, I don't mean to be rude, but can ROJM and TA please take this argument to PMs? I don't think anyone other than yourselves are following, and it's detracting from discussion of the actual game.

Yakuza is a big game like Ubi's Assassin Creed  and to give Ubisoft their credit they give their teams new tech and at least 2 years to develop each new entry in the series.

The real sega old guard moved on years ago after DC...the fact that a sega gamer playing games on a non sega system was too much for some. So no..the sega fandom as we once knew it in the west doesn't really exist for over a decade now.

And sega has evolved in its history as a company. A sega fan of the seventies was different to the ones in the nineties. Each were use to a type of game they produced in those eras. But eras end. Accept it and move on...

Naka-san should have been moved to SEGA technical division where his real talents lied  and Yoji-Ishii should have been made boss of Sonic Team imo.

No one is talking about the games. You are. Were talking about people who were developers whayever being in the executive side of the company. You are criticizing Nagoshi for screwing things up and releasing boring titles in YAKUXZA. However the exact same thing happened with Naka and you weren't even complaining about his role back then..especially when i was criticizing him.

That description fits every game you can think of...Game engines don't grow on trees you know it takes time and money to create them and then they have to get their investment back by using that engine for the various games it was made for..the more money the games make the more successful the investment in building the engine would be. SHENMUE would have been the exact same thing had it carried on to its finale..same engine different games with various features added on each title released. So complaing about a title like YAKUZA sounds silly coming from your supposed experience...

You keep on making out I'm this huge fan of Naka-san when I'm not. I admire his programming skills and that it . I'm not even a massive fan of the Sonic Team and always been far more for TA/Smilebit and AM#2


I don't think Nagosh-san or Naka-san are good team or Line leaders and would have much rathered seen  Yu Suzuki-san and Masayoshi-Kikuchi-san, Makoto-san given their own Teams and full say and control on what games are green lite.

Game engines don't grow on trees you know it takes time and money to create them and then they have to get their investment back by using that engine for the various games


Only SEGA isn't given the team that time or money . Look at Ubisoft on how to do it  .. Give its Assassins Creed time and money and that's shows with the Anvil , Anvil Next next gen engine  or Capcom with Its Framworks MT 1,2,3 and now Panta Rhei next gen engine , EA with frostbite 1 2 and now with its next gen Frostbite 3 engine  , impact and now with its next gen  Ignite engine , Square soft with its Crystal and now Luminous next gen engine  .


Where's SEGA Japan next gen engine ?

I'm stating an argument where i was bashing Naka's role in sega as an executive and where you defended his position...now you are attacking Nagoshi doing the exact same thing. Never said anything in you being a fan...grow up you are not a kid anymore...

No creative sega developer are that is really the point. Thee may be a few who could handle it but really creative people mostly are not good business men and vice versa. They should always be kept seperate in my opinion. But that's SOJ management for you..

That was happening before THE MERGER. Again i can't see why blaming sammy for everything in the noughties when its really been SOJ who still retains their autonomy is the one making all the bad decisions.

where is capcom's successful profit margin? Oh it doesn't exist for years now. And that's doing everything you keep wanting sega to do. In a period where game Rand D was at  its high costs and in an enviroment where the economy was unstable. Sega adapted and done what was necesary for its buisness to carry on...now capcom is in danger of falling apart and sega...isnt. There is a time and place to start flaunting new tech and game engines...this isn't it but it will happen soon...

Before the merger SEGA had very good pipe lines and some decent tech as anyone who played the likes of HOTD III, ORTA, VF 4 EVo , Super Monkeyball on the consoles could see. Since the HD age SEGA Japan have been playing catch up and now with the new gen its just even worse with SEGA Japan having to real new next gen tech to show off .

Sad because you were saying they needed to catch up back then too which is why i don't take you seriously anymore..damned if they do..damned if they don't. Game wise it was a start of a terrible trend of sega japan games and Sega west output was abysmal...

No they aren't.You had four people giving you the EVIDENCE on that in the gaming forum. So for the last time stop spreading capcom propaganda and deal with the truth. Sega has made and keeps making more money than capcom has been able to make for nearly five years and longer. So whether you like what they are doing that's the fact.

Quote
No they aren't.



Yes they are for 2014

Quote
The Japanese publisher grew its profit by nearly 16 percent for the fiscal year

With the yen's depreciation and an improving Japanese economy, Capcom today reported net income up almost 16 percent for the fiscal year ended on March 31, 2014. Profit totaled 3.44 billion yen ($33.8 million) for the year (up 15.9 percent) while net sales climbed 8.6 percent to 102.2 billion yen ($1 billion)
.

For 2013


Quote
While revenue actually climbed from ¥82 billion ($820m) to ¥94 billion ($940m) in the year ended March 31 2013, the company's attempts to pivot (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-07-11-capcom-reorganization-underway-christian-svensson-departs) in virtually every aspect of its Digital Contents business - which comprises console, PC and mobile development, and accounted 67.7 per cent of all revenue - saw profits fall by more than half to just $31 million. Barring 2010, when it made a profit of $22 million, that makes fiscal 2013 Capcom's least profitable year since 2005.
For 2012
Quote
Capcom's second quarter net profits jumped almost 300 per cent as the Japanese publisher observed a "recovery trend" in the video game market.For the three-month period ending June 30 2012, the company posted revenues of ¥18.6 billion ($237m / £151m), a 55.8 per cent increase year-on-year. Net profits were ¥1.3 billion ($17m / £11m), a 290.2 per cent jump over the ¥338 million posted in the same quarter last year.Capcom's Digital Contents group, which covers its console, PC and digital products, accounted for the majority of income, reporting ¥13.7 billion ($175m / £111m) in revenue for the quarter - up 78.8 per cent.

-There are more sexual content like catfights, real videos of women and more.
-Super Hang On, Outrun and Space Harrier are confirmed.
-There is so much licenses of japanese brands like real magazines, food brands and more.
-You can dance disco, listen/play in 80's J-Rock Band, play AC Karts and more.

It's based on the Yakuza 5/Binary Domain engine. Unless SEGA wants another money sink I doubt the engine would be updated anytime soon, though it's updated after every two mainline entry according to history, not certain that tradition is going to continue.

One thing I don't like is Majima's fighting style. The break-dancing is a bit weird in my opinion. I know he did the spinning attack in the old games, but this seems a little bit... out of character.

Oh yeah, and like I said before, Kiryu breaking the pole in half and stabbing the guy in the stomach was far more brutal looking than I'm used to. Could this be a sign that Kiryu will be more violent and unrelenting in this game to reflect his younger days?

Correct..people don't realize that the engines used for the YAKUZA games are expensive and that Sega wants to get back its investment by using the engine on every game they can..then they update. I think the engine now has gone thru 3 major updates...2 actual updates and a bells and whistle update that was used for KENZEN.
I dunno why people are complaining for anyway about this. If Sega had released all the SHENMUE titles on a yearly basis you'd get the same exact engine for that game. And the Hedgehog engine hasn't exactly changed since its initial introduction. No doubt BINARY DOMAIN had it continued would just use that same engine as well. In fact many games from different companies use the same engine for four even six games. So why is YAKUZA getting all the flak?

Majima has two other fighting styles to utilise if you feel uncomfortable with dancer Majima.

Also I definitely think Kiryu would be rougher. Nagoshi has stated that Kiryu grew calmer as he got older and I don't see present Kiryu kick stomping a already beaten guys face.

Wonder if this has to do with western localization issues with the previous games. Because its ground zero its easier to re launch the series to western fans because there isn't any previous story elements that new players wouldn't get.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned potential English translations. I figure if they do have English subs they'll probably be atrocious quality since it'll be for Asia Pacific, not native English speaking countries (Is this how it usually works?).

Well we have gone past the days of "all your base belong to us" kind of translations. So i don't think it will be scrappy. The only changes would be if they use a word in japanese that has no meaning  in english at all. But since they are using subtitles i don't think that will really be an issue.

I understand Sega has to remake the initial investment in the engine; I just was pointing out that the game looks slightly dated for this being Sega's big project at the moment. This is also their second PS4 Yakuza game, so I wish they'd push the tech more. It's just pride speaking. I understand why they do it.

They are going to use the same trick that they have used in Kenzan!


PS3: 720p/Steady 30 FPS
PS4: 1080p/ 60 FPS


That's why the game looks like that and also because they have used the Yakuza 5 Engine one more time.

If you really want to make your money from your investment you share the code and pipelines of your next gen engine with the other teams in the group and use it on other games . Only SEGA Japan don't and it again shows how far and how behind the times there  are when nearly every other cop will use their major engine with-in  the other teams and on other games with that company.
Not that the Yakuza 3 engine was that impressive in the 1st place . It took until Yakuza 5 for the game to really look great on the PS3.
Quote

Not quite the same . Looking over how Shenmue was pushing the DC already to its limits (something the Kenzan/Yakuza III engine wasn't with the PS3) . Shenmue II was a vast improvement over Shenmue on the DC and you can bet AM#2 would have made Shenmue III and IV look that better too on the DC . Yakuza looked amazing on the PS2 and Part II pushed the PS2 hard - that is something we haven't really seen with the PS3 game (well Yakuza 5 does look good I guess ) and seeing Yakuza on the PS4 with outdated tech and using the same animation and routines is just lame for a company like SEGA who once used to lead on tech .

I suspect slapping in some next gen lighting and it could go on for years to come looking just as good as anything else.

The Yakuza engine they are currently using looks a generation behind.

The Hedgehog Engine isn't all that impressive either, low poly count and inconsistent frame rate. They had to downgrade the visuals further in Sonic Lost World just to boost it up to 60 fps. They'll probably brute force a PS4/Xbox One very to have the same fps like how the Yakuza team has with Ishin.

As for the Yakuza engine, it is a cross gen product but the engine is based on Binary Domain's. Neither game has impressive engines for today's standards, only The Creative Assembly has with Alien Isolation.

I understand Sega has to remake the initial investment in the engine; I just was pointing out that the game looks slightly dated for this being Sega's big project at the moment. This is also their second PS4 Yakuza game, so I wish they'd push the tech more. It's just pride speaking. I understand why they do it.
Well were not living in the era where Sega use to sport five different game engines for five different games. Unlike others who need to keep their little crusade going, not many companies share their engines to get back their investment back. Also didn't Binary Domain share the same engine as YAKUZA5? BD failed. Sega has got back its investment on YAKUZA and YAKUZA alone so its a safe bet to use just that investment on one title. And let's not pander to fantasy as a certain member tends to do around here...YAKUZA engine has had changes throughout its use in the series run. Yet people blinded by Nagoshi hate keep harping its the same. Well SHENMUE was originally going to be an eleven part series USING the same engine. But  i bet no one here would have complained. YAKUZA hasn't even reached that number yet and people are acting like its under polished. Complete nonsense. Please people instead of listening to a fantasist do some research yourself and you will find many games have used the same engine..each title will have slight changes in the engine(except most EA games) So singling out YAKUZA doesn't make sense when its doing the same thing nearly every other video games company are guilty of.

The other reason i think were noticing it more JB is that YAKUZA is the only big Sega game being made on a regular basis..there isn't much of a diversity. That is a sting to pride as well console wise.

Exactly Aki..makes me wonder if ALIEN ISOLATION's engine would be used for other titles...

The game is using a huge number of polygons and in terms of lighting, motion blur , depth of field and various other effects it was lightyears ahead of most other SEGA Japan games . A inconsistent frame rate is just a lack of optimization but that's  the trouble with SEGA and making sure Sonic hits the Winter Deadline for the best possible sales  and not giving the team a soft release date 

Kezan was just lame on the PS3 , Panzer Dragoon Saga feature better water effects. never mind the likes of Orta  and the animation  in Kenzan was hardly PS3 quality .
Quote
Also didn't Binary Domain share the same engine as YAKUZA5



The same team *Roll Eye's .

You look at Capcom their MT Framwork engine was used in all of Capcom Japan 360 and PS3 games and for their 3DS games and now they have a new Next gen engine ready to go . Ubisoft is using Avil next to power Assassin's Creed Unity and the next Rainbow Six and has bought in the likes of Snowdrop to power its Clancy next gen games . EA has Frostbite 3 powering its Battlefield , Need For Speed and new Mass Effect Mirror Edge and Ignite engine  for its next gen  sports games , Konami has the Fox engine powering MGS and Pro Evo and so on , Square Enix have a new next gen engine powering their games and yet SEGA Japan doesn't have 1 next gen engine ready to go ...


In a world lame and again SEGA Japan is left behind the rest on tech and boy does it show


Quote
fantasist do some research yourself and you will find many games have used the same engine..each title will have slight changes in the engine(



If people do that they'll see big improvements on games . Assassins Creed 1 to 3 saw vast improvements in tech and that game already looked better than Yakuza 3 . GTA 4 to GTA IV saw a huge jump and again GTA IV was already vastly more impressive than Yakuza, COD 2 on the the 360 to Call Of Duty IV saw huge jumps in tech and MT Framework saw a huge jump in performance from Dead Rising to the likes of Lost Planet 2 or RE 5

Quote
Well SHENMUE was originally going to be an eleven part series USING the same engine


The engine was already hugely impressive (something which Yakuza Kenzan 3/4 on the PS3 wasn't and neither is Yakuza on the PS4 )  and if the game came out on the same system with improvements no-one would have really cared as the main game engine was hugely impressive at the time . Just like no-one had issues with Sonic 1 to IV using the same main engine only with improvements.


The trouble is the Yakuza games on the PS4 aren't gen standards at all

When a game as an inconsistent frame rate its usually a lack of optimisation and a game brought out before its really ready to leave the development kit - Just look at games like Ninja Gaiden 2 (360) , Daytona USA (Saturn)


The Hedgehog was able to handle loads of polygons and effects like HDR, Dynamic shadows , Motion blur and various other effects . Sonic Unleashed looks good . In comparison Kenzan, Yakuza 3,4 look pretty poor have worse lighting effects and the water effects in Kenzan are just totally lame.


Yakuza looks great in the cut scenes not so great in game . Sadly the best engine SEGA Japan made for the PS3 was only even used in one game for Val :(.

That's exactly what it is, people are muddling art direction with graphics when it comes to Sonic Generations/The Hedgehog Engine. By the same virtue Mario Kart is a fantastic piece of graphical engineering and pushes the Wii U above the Playstation 4/Xbox One when it just is not the case, Nintendo, like Sonic Team and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Plus countless Japanese developers) hide technical short comings behind excellent art direction.

When you stop and slowly inspect the scenery, Sonic Generations (http://www.plusxp.com/wp-content/uploads/Sonic-Generations-GameSpot-Screenshot-1-4e4dbcc83e9691.jpg) has a lot of low poly models for a reason and the console versions suffered from horrible pop ups.

Also screen shots don't always show the full game off and the same game can look better or worse depending on different screen shots . I mean does Sonic Gen look poor in this

But if it looks good it looks good, what does it matter? Sonic Gen doesnt look flawless I'll give you that but it still looks brilliant and with a few extra bells and whistles it could easily compete with this new generations games.

Take a game like Journey for the PS3, The engine is probably technically not that powerful, but the game looks imo absolutely flawless because of the art direction and no amount of engine upgrades or powerful consoles would make any difference.

So who cares weather it is the engine or the art direction? The Hedgehog Engine with Sonic art direction can continue to compete while the Yakuza engine looks dated because it CANT support Yakuzas realistic art direction.

You can't cover bad graphics engines or low polygons models with amazing Art as almost ever game these days will have the most amazing art and concept art . Spikeout on the XBox had real nice concept Art the game engine and piss poor textures and next gen shaders let the game down (even tho it had amazing draw distance) Ninja Gaiden 3 had great Art but it had a basic game engine and that let it down
Sonic Unleashed and Generations look good because they are using various effects and next gen shaders to make them look good that's why and trying to show off a single photo in a game like Sonic (which is never meant to be played at a snails pace isn't going to show the game off to its best and where its meant to look like the old classic 16 bit game)


If one was to look closer at most games even one on the XBox One and PS4 you see the odd low polygon models, pop up if you look closely enough even in a game like Ryse on the XBox One, even Forza Horizons 2 is using low polygons on objects and 2D effects on the grass on so on   . The Yakuza 0 looks average and poor on the PS4 because its simply reusing an old outdated engine, reusing old assets  and the team simply don't have enough time  to make any sort of major improvements  because they are just a single team (unlike Ubi or Activision's who will put different teams to their annual updates, giving each team at least 2 years to develope the game) 


Yakuza production schedule is just nuts . After any game is finished the Team will no doubt have a 3 week break and holidays like most Japanese developers , then a couple of months to prep the game and so will only have like 9 actual months to code and make the game , given their yearly schedule . That is nuts and sure way to kill creativity any hope of major gameplay or game engine improvements and a sure way in the end to kill a Teams will and see staff leave. 


How anyone can make out this looks poor is quite beyond me

Come on...YAKUZA's look is just about style as it is about the engine that powers it. YAKUZA isn't about pretty flowers or popping mushrooms. Its meant to have that grimy look of a japanese yakuza film and feel of a japanese crime novel and the engine is very good at doing it. And SONIC LOST WORLD just didn't look any different to SONIC XTREME in my opinion. In fact it looked like it was the same engine but a few steps above it.Not to say the hedgehog engine hasn't produced some good looking games..for what it is.

Yakuza moved and looked amazing for a PS2 but now its being outclassed by other corps Tech . Sonic is going up against the likes of Rayman and Mario and even against other type games the tech is good and holds up.


The trouble with Yakuza is the Team aren't given the time or the R&D budget and prep to make a fantastic new engine much less come up with new worlds any new sort of gameplay   . Its just the same old assets and same old worlds, even the trailers are exactly the same .

All I can say is, you obviously haven't been playing these games. Each one has a world that's at least 50% bigger than the one before. From 3 to 4, the number of protagonists quadrupled and with them came new fighting styles. Weapon crafting has been introduced and further developed each time. Fighting tournaments and fighter training have been added. I haven't even played 5 yet, but as I recall, it has five cities, right?

Didnt play lost world, it looked like crap, but it was also on the Wii U so graphically it was never going to be anything to write home about.

As for Yakuza, all I'm saying is the engine looks dated, one location looks fine while another looks really weird... In some indoor environments the lighting looks freaking weird, i cant even put my finger on whats wrong with it, but its like there's no lighting at all or no designated light source.

And looks can be deceiving. Look at BINARY DOMAIN that uses the exact same engine as YAKUZA and that game had brilliant effects and was up there with the best third person shooters at the time. That's like saying that tekken was a better title than VF 1 and 2 when the board used in that was way more powerful even the saturn version. But because of the way it looked and played thanks to a buggy saturn game, people think Tekken was the better engine and game when it wasn't. DEEP FEAR another game surpassed Resident EVIL but because it was on a hardware deemed less powerful it was dismissed when the facts are that the Saturn was a more powerful system than the PSX. Even the RE saturn game shows that when you go into the specifics of the procesing power and the detail of graphics of that game compared to the PSX version. Also YAKUZA had the use of the Magical V engine to map faces and real expressions onto it. Something that Tecmo licensed from sega and used for Ninja Gaiden 2. So all this bullcrap TA likes to spout that the engine is outdated is not true when they've improved the engine numerous times with new tech.  YAKUZA may look dated but the engine is certainly not.

Its much the same game with the same animation patterns, much the same gameplay and adding in the odd new style and move is a very basic thing . Yakuza IV suffers from much of Yakuza III issues with not just the graphics but its out dated battle system and the map system is outdated (not be able to mark your next destination and so on ) .

You were harping about YAKUZA being outdated tech two years ago. Don't bother to deny it because everyone have seen you post it up. Now you are back tracking and saying its two years old just to cover your own ass? Not good enough. You're stanch has been that the game engine for YAKUZA has never been updated and its out of date. You have been proven wrong that it hasn't been updated because of BD and the fact that you haven't played 5. Those two titles alone blows your entire argument to shreds and shows you are just spamming for the sake of it.

Also screen shots don't always show the full game off and the same game can look better or worse depending on different screen shots . I mean does Sonic Gen look poor in this

You clearly don't have a informed opinion to talk on graphics. Firstly;

- All the lighting is baked.
- Only Sonic's shadow is real time, some objects have no lighting (IE the goal ring)
- The stuff that does have shadows are baked in.
- Pretty much every object has simple geometry except Sonic, you can find that in the trees and flowers.

So until you can understand graphics and not art direction, stop replying to me because you clearly do not know what you're talking about. That picture shows you how bad Sonic Generations actually looks, thanks for proving my point.

But if it looks good it looks good, what does it matter? Sonic Gen doesnt look flawless I'll give you that but it still looks brilliant and with a few extra bells and whistles it could easily compete with this new generations games.

Take a game like Journey for the PS3, The engine is probably technically not that powerful, but the game looks imo absolutely flawless because of the art direction and no amount of engine upgrades or powerful consoles would make any difference.

So who cares weather it is the engine or the art direction? The Hedgehog Engine with Sonic art direction can continue to compete while the Yakuza engine looks dated because it CANT support Yakuzas realistic art direction.

But we are talking about technical markmenship Ryan, if you want to say "Well Sonic Generations has excellet art direction!" than no problem, but graphically? It's no way near competing in the great graphics department, it's just not there, let's not pretend it is something it's not. The lighting is mostly baked and the geometry is simple, you find it right through the game.

You can call the Binary Domain engine dated but let's not act like the Hedgehog Engine is a technical marvel.

But I'm not... I'm talking about a game that doesn't look jarring and dated. If you can make a beautiful game on an old engine then all the power too you. Sonic Generations, maxed out on PC looks fantastic. If that's due to the engine power or the art direction means nothing, all I care about is the game looking good... Which it damn well does.

Yakuza on the other hand; one minute it looks good, another its okay and the next it's poor as hell, I've never seen a game with so much change from one moment to the next.

When I'm playing a game I don't want to be taken out of the atmosphere because of the jarring way it looks. Which has never happened in Sonic Generations, except maybe when I first played it maxed out on PC to marvel at how damn hot it looked.

Yakuza I'm constantly going, 'that looks weird' 'whats up with the lighting in this place?'

Then you haven't PLAYED the game


Yes The demo, which like almost all Yakuza game demo's gives a great impression of what the finished game will be like as there's  very little changes in the graphics (Like for Yakuza, Kenzan, Yakuza IV demo's).

Rubbish


The rainwater effect is Yakuza IV is very a basic fitter , that never changes not matter how much rains comes down there's no even real time reflections  , none of the characters clothes get wet either and the water effects in Kezan are the most basic piss poor ones I've seen in any major game on the PS3 . Yakuza games don't feature great lighting or water effects at all  in-game


Quote
You were harping about YAKUZA being outdated tech two years ago


No long before that in fact  . The tech in Yakuza III, Kezan and Part IV wasn't that great-no for a High end Big SEGA Japan production  . We saw a jump in the Tech for Yakuza V but that was only after the Team we given 2 years to make the game and we saw a big improvement in graphics . Trouble was other Teams pushed ahead with their tech too and so Yakuza V had trouble standing out when up against the likes of Assassin's Creed IV and so on .

What the one that tried to shut down SOA who was responsible for making Sega a household name


I think Sammy done a better job than anyone of killing SEGA America off with selling Visual Concepts and complete closing down their In-House studios and shedding loads of staff, leaving SOA just being a shell  . Looking over that .. I'll say that it was Sonic , SEGA Sprite scaliers  coin ups and the Mega Drive that really put SEGA on the map and that's all SEGA Japan.

i said RE, i never said RE 2.


 RE 2 was leaps and bounds ahead of the RE on the PS anyways and that's the game it should be compared too since Deep Fear came out in 1998 like RE 2  . But if you want to compare a PS 1995 game to a Saturn 1998 game then fine . RE on the PS features better looking character models than either RE on the Saturn or Deep Fear on the Saturn

VF1 was on model 1 which was still more powerful than what Namco was using


I know and like I said years back. Namco were clever in getting Tekken to run on the system 11 board as it was far cheaper and thus able to be sold to smaller Arcades and even been seen in pubs and take-aways . Tekken looked better  though and no-one will factor in the gluf in coin up spec's (other than the die hard gamers) people will just go on what they see . Shame as VF is a better game to play and control and also the Saturn version destroys the Arcade and Tekken for sound effects and one of the few games to make real use of the Saturn epic sound board (shame SEGA put low sound Ram in the unit) .


Quote
You said the engine was outdated and nothing used for it


The game engine is outdated and it clear to see. And really... you scraping the barrel saying that because Temco used SEGA facial scanning system for 'one' game that shows SEGA tech is amazing . Plenty of other studios have amazing facial tech systems , even small ones like our very own Ninja Theory here in the UK, never mind 2k, Bioware, Ubisoft , Capcom, Konami  and the like   


Quote
Pretty much every object has simple geometry except Sonic, you can find that in the trees and flowers


That's the case with almost any game and where they'll use simple graphics on the backgrounds, even in High games like Ryse on the XBox One or Forza II (which uses simple effects on the grass and trees  . And Sonic lighting effects are better than Yakuza's (well what lighting effects it has) and its basic shader effects and well the game looks better and a game for more fitting of a 360 and PS3 game and unlike Yakuza it's was developed to run on different platforms

That's just for Yakuza V and the Ishi game on the PS4 . All the others I've played owned  and anyone who tries to make out that Deep Fear is better looking than RE clearly have't played both. Still to this day I doubt you've owned a Mega CD or Saturn , much less any of the 360 and PS3 games you talk about.

You've demonstrated you do not grasp the core points when it comes to discussing graphics so why do you insist to talk with me? The Hedgehog Engine uses baked lighting and simple geometry for the majority of the level, not just one or two places. It's not impressive and it shows by how the media were just not amazed by it in anyway.

And your final point is incorrect as the Yakuza engine now runs on the Binary Domain engine, which has shown that it works on both platforms. SEGA does not have one impressive engine at their current disposal EXCEPT The Creative Assembly's Alien game, even when the Hedgehog Engine was first unveiled it just was not generating any type of hype, however Alien: Isolation is.

But I'm not... I'm talking about a game that doesn't look jarring and dated. If you can make a beautiful game on an old engine then all the power too you. Sonic Generations, maxed out on PC looks fantastic. If that's due to the engine power or the art direction means nothing, all I care about is the game looking good... Which it damn well does.

The original discussion was about the technical prowess (Or rather lack of) Sonic Team and the Hedgehog Engine does not demonstrate that. Binary Domain, which is the engine Yakuza 5, Ishin! and Zero runs on, looks better than Sonic Generations on PC with max settings.

But the point is the Hedgehog Engine is not a great engine. Alien: Isolation on the otherhand...

Yakuza I'm constantly going, 'that looks weird' 'whats up with the lighting in this place?'

Are you talking about Kenzan! 3, 4 and Dead Souls or 5, Ishin! and Zero?

The media ?


Here's what Eurogame had to say on the visuals


Quote
The 2D levels are certainly superior, full of tricky and satisfying platform sequences and beautiful visuals,


CVG


Quote
Watching old-school Sonic zip around his new beautifully reimagined Rube Goldberg-ian playgrounds and MC Escher-esque mazes is pure delight, with SEGA finally managing to perfectly recapture what made this franchise so fun to begin with after years of missed attempts. Classic Sonic's new 3D character model (based on his original sprite-base origins) has an adorable, almost claymation-like appearance. You speed through stages, traverse careful platforming sections, and break open item boxes as if it were 1991 and you're still going nuts over "blast processing" and Jaleel White's voice acting.


Gamer TM


Quote
You can choose to play as either Sonic, and each gets his own version of every playable zone, but those zones are neither strictly 2D nor 3D. They’re a true blend of styles that make excellent use of modern technology to re-present familiar locations, and though one does lean slightly closer to a side-scroller and the other to on-rails headlong rushes, the distinction has more to do with the handling model of each hedgehog.


Even the likes of EDGE praised Sonic Gen graphics . In fact most media was impressed with the graphics - just some would highlight some of the frame rate issues as the only bad parts

CA tech as never been in question they've always had great PC Pipe lines and sure the game looks amazing and getting some hype (helps when you have a big license).

Graphics = 7.5
Looks great in motion, but not as nice when everything stops. Framerate issues pop up somewhat regularly.
For comparison Yakuza 3 got a 8 for graphics and Yakuza 4 got 7 and Sonic Unleashed graphics got 6.5, so the Hedgehog Engine did not impress this particular media outlet.

Using this same simple distinction you're using "The graphics look nice and do their job." we could apply the same logic with Yakuza. The graphics are okay, no one had their jaws on the floor, even here only the Sonic Team fanboys were impressed by it, everyone else realised the engine was not anything impressive.

Of course not, but the Hedgehog Engine is not impressive tech even in 2008, many people here realised how average the tech was back then, let alone 2011 and it shows with every screenshot you can provide.

Oh man, I remember that. When you actually compare the two side by side (60 fps v 30 fps, low levels of pop up, similar level of interactions) it just becomes clear the Hedgehog Engine is just not the industry standard.

Me too it was just silly . Even some driving games can't really be compared to each other as their engines are having to handle various different things . I can see why Codemasters F1 games runs at 30 fps and some other racers can handle 60 fsp and even in you look at Burnout Paradise,  Crierion next racing games (need for Speed) all run at 30 fps on the PS3 and 360.

It not just as simple as both games are fast

Yet he has provided no links to see what they were saying in context. And it also doesn't prove that the YAKUZA engine is outdated either. Out of those sources only Edge is considered trustworthy since they are actual gaming journalists. Eurogamer is just a bigger version of Segabitsv and Kotaku. And since they thought VIKING BATTLE FOR ASGARD was crap their opinion holds little water. Funny since TA caught himself out with saying he's played only the demo he has diverted attention to the hedgehog engine as being the best example of a new engine..when it isn't. If you want to see a good example of a game engine at work , look at BORDER BREAK...which is miles better than the Hedgehog engine in terms of power.

Learn to format properly. Is it so hard?

And that's a shame you will not compare it to a racer, I guess we can't compare the engine of F-Zero and Monkey Ball because they are different genres. Oh wait we can since it's the same engine.

You can absolutely compare two engines and make a call which is better because IT IS that simple. You say they share little in common but that's true only in genre. The engine itself can easily be compared, because there isn't many differences between the two at the engine level.

I'm just saying it looks better than Yakuza a game which as simple geometry on the backgrounds and not the best lighting effects in-game  . You and Joe might be happy with SEGA Japan current output , outdated engines and focus on Mobile I'm not and its sad to see SEGA Japan sliding behind the rest

Yakuza has better geometry than Sonic Generations. That's not the point, the point is the Hedgehog Engine is not a great engine or something you believe impresses people.

Again you project what you think either myself or Joe are like, when me and Joe have made our stances clear several times where we stand. But please continue to have imaginary debates in your head and leave me out of it if this your style of debate.

No but we can say what is actually, you know, a good engine. So you can compare it, we do it all the time and unless you can show why we can't, I'm afraid you're going to come off as being ignorant on the subject matter.

No, you see, you just can not do that.

Geometry is facts. Facts can be proved, you cannot tell me "Well you think a square is a square but that's your opinion, even if it has four sides I think it's a triangle" geometry can be proven and is factual aspect. Lighting likewise, for the Hedgehog Engine is completely baked and not as impressive as other games that feature dynamic lighting.

Gears of War to Sonic Unleashed? Uncharted 2 to Sonic Unleashed? Witcher 2?

This whole topic is outta whack now. Its proven that the YAKUZA engine isn't outdated and its better than the Hedgehog engine. Its proven that Sega has not only updated the YAKUZA engine in the last four years but also created two new engines during that period as well. We all know that Sega is raking it in and aren't falling behind at all. We all know that Sega sill makes tech and hardware but reserved for the arcade division that is used on titles like BORDERBREAK. We know Sega had created various tech to use for their own games but to license it to others during the last five years. And if were talking about new engines for the next gen then ALIEN ISOLATION completely finishes off this debate. It makes no difference whether it isn't from SOJ.CA is part of Segasammy. SOJ gave CA the cash to create the game. The game is a big budget title. And ultimately Segasammy was the ones who approved that this big budget title for next gen was to go ahead using a NEXT GEN new engine..created within the Sega set up. So this nonsense that Segasammy is going cheap all the way and  not spending money when we have two to three titles now using new engine or new tech or big money etc,  discredits that belief should be enough. You can't separate what Creative Assembly is doing from SOJ mainly because SOJ is responsible for the funding of the game as they give the money to their divisions which was given to them by Segasammy. That's the bottom line. End of story.

No but we can say what is actually, you know, a good engine.


We can and I don't think Kenzan, Yakuza 3 or IV were that great engines in game . I did liked Binary Domain engine, but now that's outdated and not uble to be scaled up to the next gen , like how the Anvil Next gen is for Assassin Creed Unity , while also able to support the 360 and PS3 versions of Assassins Creed Rouge .


That what I mean by other corps having next gen pipelines . Even the Sonic engine which you loved to slate did very decent things with PSO 2 on the PC and shows the engine is at least scalable.

We're on about SEGA Japan . CA got it right a next gen game engine that is scalable, able to work on multi platforms and a game that is made to appeal to the West . SEGA Japan should take note

Geometry is facts. Facts can be proved,


Yakuza 3 Geometry is very simple in games like Yakuza III or IV . There's plenty of 2D assets being used for starters, shaders being used to give the impression of 3D but its just a flat object (like neck chain ect), there's no real time reflections being used (even though its raining ) Lighting effects that happen on the Battle moves and so on aren't reflected back on the scenery and the less said about Kezan water effects the better.

You make me laugh for starters you keep banging on about Mobile , yet the likes of EA actually make more revenue from the mobiles in fact if one looks at the top earners on the Mobile SEGA are far from the top  with the likes of Gung Ho way out in front and even the likes of Disney and EA and I'm sure Square ahead of SEGA   . And wow SEGA Japan making tech for Border Break ?  That keep them ahead of the game  lol , given that Ring Edge was way behind last gen console spec and Ringedge 2  is way behind the likes of  XBox 1 or PS4


And so far SEGA hasn't ported the game to the consoles , much less let AM#2 work on a console game (other than handling ports of past classics)


Keep it coming

We're on about SEGA Japan .
 

So am i. A company that is in charge of Sega west. A company that has to divide the funding between Sega america  adn Sega europe and their companies evenly in order to create game content. A company who gets it from Sega sammy. Who is meant to be slashing everything and going cheap all the way. Yet how do you explain the same companies funding Alien Isloation? Wait you can't?

SOJ. who just recently produced an arcade game in the form of The Surprising Sandbox. Do you have any idea you simpleton how much would have gone into R+D just to get the controls right...a control that uses sand? Then when you factor the main game and the cabinets and how many they have to make to create to fulfil the order costs a lot more than nothing.

But let's go into engines..that Borderbreak and SHINING FORCE uses...oh yes forgot those didn't you..and those engines have been tweaked with every installment.

But lets go to cutting costs. You complaing about sega using thre same hardware time and again. Wait..didn't they do that with Naomi? Didn't they do that with Naomi 2 didn't they build the hardware and just made boards to solt into the actual hardware time and time again to keep costs down? No difference to what they're doing now. And don't use Sammy as an example. The games he's talking about are the 2D games that Sammy use to make but Sega has taken over from. He's using those games as an example of sega going down when he's really misleading you.

TA you are a joke. Not only are you a joke but a bad one.You have lost ALL credibility in this forum. You presist in arguments that you have lost. You are trying to create an argument over geometry is ridiculous. What happened dude? You're girlfriend left you and you're taking  out on Sega and the world?
I don't need to keep it coming because this is more to the forum than to a joke like you.
Until you get you're senses back don't bother with me anymore. Good day.

Could you please stop deviating the thread and focus about talking the new Yakuza game? :/


Comparing with AAA Western Titles doesn't help to prove your point, TA.
Multiplats western focused SOJ's games even with a spectacular engine and graphics don't sell well, never accomplish that and Sega already knew that.

If you want to declare that SOJ is "an old-tech developer" let me tell you that is the only JP developer that has used two well know engines in the business,Physx and Havok, and also aiming to reach 60 FPS with a good art direction and graphic stability everytime they do it.

Also, the last AC games always have an amount of glitches, bugs and all kind of graphics problems since the first day, and they are locked 30 FPS even in PC ports with the horrible U-play system.

Count that they develope their own engines, improve the tech in their arcades, use and know PC before any JP developer, enter the mobile market before anyone and make a true research to accomplish in that sector and you have a company that has maintain their tech updated all the time.

Dude you want him to focus on YAKUZA but you give him debate bait like that? You're in for a rough ride ...
But great points.  8)

As for YAKUZA..the subject of this topic that TA keeps derailing...From the trailers..does anyone think that this RGG is closer in tone to the first title or more of the sanitised romanticised nonsense of the 4th and 5th titles? It seems that the trailer is trying for a darker theme..but i dunno if that really reflects the game....
And judging from his character face model..i'm hoping to god that there isn't gonna be a remake...

Sammy have vastly cut  SEGA R&D spend . Just because CA have one game with some nice tech does not mean SEGA is going wild on the spending front at all.

SEGA wasn't the 1st  Japanese Arcade manufacturer to use PC tech in the Arcades at all, SEGA wasn't even the 1st Japanese corp  to have Polygon Hardware in the Arcades . Mobile I think again you'll find that SEGA was far from the 1st Japanese software corp , but that was also down to SEGA still trying to support its own consumer based Hardware and so joined the mobile phone party a bit late.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is not a good example, the game does the same thing Sonic Unleashed/Generations etc did which is hide it's short coming through art direction.

Yakuza 3 Geometry is very simple in games like Yakuza III or IV . There's plenty of 2D assets being used for starters, shaders being used to give the impression of 3D but its just a flat object (like neck chain ect), there's no real time reflections being used (even though its raining ) Lighting effects that happen on the Battle moves and so on aren't reflected back on the scenery and the less said about Kezan water effects the better.

Yakuza has better levels of geometry than any Sonic games, that is the point. That's not to say Yakuza is good graphically, but it undeniably has more complex level of geometry (The NPCs alone prove that.) and a lot of the point you use against Yakuza can be exactly refer back to the Hedgehog Engine which uses baked lighting, likewise with real time reflections.

At this point why are you bothering to reply? All you've done is not only shown me you don't have a grasp of the discussion and futhermore all the points you used against the Yakuza engine can be also used against the Hedgehog Engine.

NA@MI was nice tech that was at least a match for the consoles around the time and NA@MI II was a great step up way above the DC and in many ways the PS2  . Ringendge and the likes of Lindberg were really low spec and I don't know why SEGA just didn't use the 360 chipset set for the Arcades like it did with Chihiro.


One could see the difference is Sammy and SEGA with Sammy's Atomiswave Board which didn't even have the spec of NA@MI

Sigh... No good for SEGA Japan consumer lines . Like I said back in 2010 (was it) SEGA Japan done wonders with the basic PC tech they had, why that wasn't passed down to the consumer Teams I don't know . You might keep up the pretence but deep down most can see SEGA Japan have lost a lot of ground and aren't pleasing many old SEGA fans with their games and have very little to offer the consumer gamer

Let's settle this, here are some facts about the new Binary Domain/Yakuza Engine:

* One Yakuza/Binary Domain engine 500-inch code makes more polygons then the first 8 rows at E3.

* Under full throttle, the Binary Domain/Yakuza engine consumes 1 1/2 gallons of polygons per second, the same rate of polygon consumption as a fully loaded Hedgehog Engine, but with 4 times the energy volume.

* Even with nearly 3000 CFM of pixels being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the graphics mixture is compressed into nearly-solid form before display in 1080p. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock.

* Dual magnetos apply 44 amps to each physics line of code. This is the output of an arc welder in each line.

* At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7:1 air/polygon mixture (for graphics), the flame front of Blast Processing measures 7050 degrees F.

* Blast Processing burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the Heat Moves in Yakuza 5 at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

* Baked Lighting procedures are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the Yakuza/Binary Domain engine is dieseling from compression-plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting off its polygon flow.

* If run-code momentarily fails early in the game, unburned polygons build up in those cylinders and then explodes with a force that can blow Blu Ray discs off the console or PC in pieces, or blow the console in half.

* To exceed 300 polygons per minute in 4.5 seconds, Yakuza/Binary Domain engine games must accelerate at an average of over 4G's. But in reaching 200 polygons per minute well before 1/2 way through the loading screens, launch acceleration is closer to 8G's.

* If all the equipment is paid off, the developer worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each video game costs $1000.00 per second.

* Yakuza/Binary Domain engine reaches over 300 polygons per meter before the Hedgehog Engine has begun idling.




That... IS POWER.

Well one can debate that . All I say that is to me Sonic Hedgehog is more impressive engine than Yakuza 3, Kenzan or IV . Yakuza 5 engine  well that looks great, but seeing it running on the PS 4 and looking much the same isn't a great indication that SEGA Yakuza's Team next gen pipelines are up to the task or that the engine isn't really scaleable.

What are you on about? Binary Domain is great on the PC, the sensitivity of the mouse is what killed it. Do you even know what you're talking about?


and as for the good Art Direction cop out .



Simple geometry all through out with baked lighting. How is that impressive? You seem to be mixing art direction for technical ability a lot.

No, you cannot debate geometry, or polygon count, or baked lighting etc these are facts that cannot be interpreted differently. By all means argue the GAMES might be better, that's subjective, the music, the art direction but geometry is based on fact and no recent Sonic games have managed to push beyond the standard, never mind the boundaries.

What is the point to all of this. MM has just OWNED TA. TA's response...hedgehog is still better because i said so.

Aki has OWNED TA on geometry..fiance and several subjects...TA's response...
Its my opinion because my opinion is correct

I've owned him countless times than i care to remember...the latest being the supposed cost cutting measure and using four games as an example that they're still spending on the expensive stuff...TA's response? Blah blah soj is behind blah blah behind because they're not copying EA or Capcom...

I really see no point in you guys wasting you're time with TA anymore. We all know you guys are correct. We all have shown him countless proof to back our claims up in various topics. Yet he keeps on and on with no evidence to back it and points that never hold up. This is the definition of trolling. Carrying on something that has been proven without a doubt and on a topic that has nothing to do with what the topic is about. To me its just attention seeking. What can i say next to get the whole forum to pay more attention on me. EVEN when i've been made to look a fool and proven incorrect time and time again.

Its really no point continuing it. Just because you don't respond and he continues it doesn't mean he won the argument. All it shows is how clueless he's actually become. Remember this is a guy who judges YAKUZA 5 outdated engine on the basis of a frigging demo. That's all you need to know how faulty this whole argument is. Now can we get back to the real topic of YAKUZA Zero, AND STOP THIS GUY DERAILING THE THREAD?

Ok, so I think Sega find a formula to publish a niche title like Hatsune Miku but they want to be secure. The support for the next game could be the point of change.

If Chain Chronicle is promoted like Brave Frontier by Gumi in the west, they could achieve another way to localize.
 
Now with the Yakuza Series,  it depends.
SS want the Asia Market.

CC and Puyopuyo seem to be popular right there.

They will try with this new RGG game.

Something is secure, like CC and Dragon Coins, if this game is popular in Asia, they might be try in the West,  although is more probable that PSNova and PSO2 are going to come first and that could be in a long time.

Anyway, the pattern that SOJ choose for their games is this:
Japan-->Asia-->West.

Yes and playing Binary Domain with a mouse ? I like to use my 360 pad on the PC and no Binary Domain isn't that impressive on the PC other than the doubling of the frame rate .

Oh no I'll not make out the Sonic games are brilliant . I'm pointing out that Sonic Generations looks better uses more of next gen shaders and nicer effects than the earlier Yakuza games imo . Yakuza is meant to be SEGA AAA big gen productions and 'said' to be the game that gets the biggest spend . So you can forget Sonic for a moment to see Yakuza engine being behind the likes of Capcom's or From Software tech is just a bit of a comedown.

If you or Aki want to prove otherwise ..by all means . But the facts are the XBox One and PS4 are selling more  than their predecessors and the Wii enjoyed a much better launch than the Wii U (Mind you so did the Cube).


And to see you talk about finance makes me laugh. When you've yet to show where Capcom posted a loss over the last 10 years .

Again you don't understand what the point.

? I put to you it wasn't poor Art or poor Art direction that made the likes of Sukura Wars V, Final Revenge and PSU look so poor  but more the poor graphics engines powering the said games .

I see, the exception that proves the rule. Which is completely wrong of course, pull out a bunch of screenshots for the Hedgehog Engine and find how it is pretty poor if you know much about technical specifications.

Oh no I'll not make out the Sonic games are brilliant . I'm pointing out that Sonic Generations looks better uses more of next gen shaders

The Hedgehog Engine uses baked lighting, what's so next gen about that? Sorry but no, it's not dynamic lighting that people get excited about. So a point you've lost there.

and nicer effects than the earlier Yakuza games imo .

And what effects are these exactly? Binary Domain already updated the engine more than the Hedgehog Engine managed in 2011 4 months later.

Yakuza is meant to be SEGA AAA big gen productions and 'said' to be the game that gets the biggest spend . So you can forget Sonic for a moment to see Yakuza engine being behind the likes of Capcom's or From Software tech is just a bit of a comedown.

That's wrong, Yakuza is not SEGA's big AAA production, Alien is. Yakuza is SEGA's biggest game in Japan, that's it, it's not suppose to show off some unrivaled technological advancement, it's meant to appeal to their Japanese fanbase.

Even Binary Domain had double, maybe triple, the budget of the Yakuza games. Sonic and Yakuza receive roughly the same level of budget. The fact you think Yakuza gets the biggest spend makes me think you're inventing ideas in your own head.

But I see you are trying to throw a spanner in the works by derailing the original point so stick to it or you're simply proving you cannot debate on the core point, just like last time when you tried to say the PC market wasn't as important as the console market. The fact is the Hedgehog Engine is not impressive.

Geometry I;ll may give him that, but Aki got his facts about Wii U and Wii launches a little  bit wrong , never mind that the current sales of PS4 and XBox One are way ahead of last generations , way way ahead  . Those are facts as Aki likes to say it when comes to geometry .

Seriously, stop talking or get lost if you want to spin spin spin. Did you understand anything from that topic?

The point was people we're SPINNING the sales of the Wii U to show it was doing well, just like you were doing with the Xbox One, that was the point. The fact is PS4 + XB1 + Wii U < PS3 + X360 + Wii, that shows a negative impact in the market. So you are wrong, again.

If you or Aki want to prove otherwise ..by all means . But the facts are the XBox One and PS4 are selling more  than their predecessors and the Wii enjoyed a much better launch than the Wii U (Mind you so did the Cube).

I never once said the Playstation 4 was selling worse than the Playstation 3, again misrepresenting what I said and despicable act of trying to portray my points incorrectly.

You're just sprouting nonsense time and again, don't want to admit the Hedgehog Engine isn't some sort of holy grail, don't want to admit PC gaming is very much alive and better than ever before and have no understanding of how engines actually work.

Notice the blur in the background on the Hedgehog Engine, and the fact that Sonic doesn't even have a shadow? Very poor stuff. The Geometry is also pretty terrible, as you can clearly see in both images (you can check with a calculator if required.


It also had terrible effects on the quality of the voice acting (which I can't show in a picture sadly).

For SEGA Japan it was step forward compared to the poor lighting and shader effects used in Yakuza 3, Kezan  . Compared to the likes of MT Engine and the like it's not that great. That's been my point for years how far SEGA Japan is for any sort of decent next gen engine .

And what effects are these exactly


Well the ones used in Yakuza IV are basic , that don't even reflected in realtime . But load Kezan up again and have a look at the water effects used in the village pools and what not and see the most basic piss poor water effects . The water effect for the sea on the beach was piss poor too and the lighting is basic level stuff that wouldn't look out of place in a PS2 game

That depends on the YAKUZA game. 1,2 and 3 had to reach a high number....4 and RGG TO THE END and KENZEN and ISHI didn't because of the tweaks used in the engine. 5 however had to reach that number. 3 and 5 were the more expensive of the series. Because of the jump in the use of the engine since the original.

You seem to have concocted a discussion in your head again. We're not talking about other engines here, we are talking about the Hedgehog Engine which does not exist in a vacuum. And in regards to an engine, it is not impressive.

Well looking over the piss poor controls . With Sonic Gen on the PC you can really max out the graphics and really improve the look over the console versions . Binary Domain not so much and before you try and say I have a shit rig . I have a i7 3.50 GHz with 16 Gigs of Ram and AMD Radeon 7900 which while isn't the best is more than enough to run Binary.

Controls have nothing to do with the part of the engine we are talking about. You cannot improve issues such as geometry, they still exist in the PC version. What you can do is obtain a better framerate and in most regards Binary Domain actually runs fine.

For SEGA Japan it was step forward compared to the poor lighting and shader effects used in Yakuza 3, Kezan  . Compared to the likes of MT Engine and the like it's not that great. That's been my point for years how far SEGA Japan is for any sort of decent next gen engine .

We are not comparing other engines, stop trying to derail the core component of the discussion which is the Hedgehog Engine isn't even great. It relies on baked lighting and outside of certain objects (IE Sonic) has no dynamic lighting, any issues you have with the Yakuza engine should easily apply to the Hedgehog Engine.

Well the ones used in Yakuza IV are basic , that don't even reflected in realtime . But load Kezan up again and have a look at the water effects used in the village pools and what not and see the most basic piss poor water effects . The water effect for the sea on the beach was piss poor too and the lighting is basic level stuff that wouldn't look out of place in a PS2 game 

Again if you look at Dragon Road or Jungle Joyride the Hedgehog Engine isn't exactly showing off it's great tech either, issues you have with the Yakuza engine should apply to the Hedgehog Engine too.

The games needs to sell over 400,000 copies at Higher Retail price just to sort of break even - That was confirmed by Kawagoe-san years back wasn't it  . Yakuza games cost SEGA some serious money.

That was only Yakuza 3, the successive games Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls cost less as most of the groundwork was already made. We can thereby work out that, using the fact that publishers get anything between 30% - 50% (Let's say 50% for argument sake) that  ¥3990 goes SEGA's way x (400,000) = ¥1,596,000,000 which currently equates to $14.7 million. Considering Yakuza 1 and 2 cost SEGA around $20 million to make, that's actually a paltry amount of cash compared to the likes of Binary Domain, Phantasy Star Online 2, Alien: Isolation which were SEGA's true big time investment. Yakuza was merely average console production costs.

Sonic gets more . Sonic games gets serious amounts of money spent by SOJ.

Sonic gets a budget in the range of $15 million - $20 million. Hardly the budget of Alien: Isolation or Binary Domain.

Not Spin . The Wii enjoyed a better lauch than the Wii U its a Fact .

The point was people were spinning the shipment of the Wii U, which shipped more in America and Europe, to show off how well the console was doing. The same way you were spinning the Xbox One's numbers, the majority of the 70% increase in sales are thanks to the PS4 which has now began to fall behind the Wii which shows a market contraction, the point you tried to disprove so hard.

Even if the PS4 sells 155 million (Matching the PS2, highly unlikely) The Xbox One sells 50 million and the Wii U did 20 million, we would be seeing a contraction of over 35 million consoles. All these figures are best case scenarios too.

You and some other's 'tried' to make out that console's sales are in decline. Only you got it badly wrong  .

PS4 + Xbox One + Wii U < PS3 + 360 + Wii is a fact. The Playstation 4 isn't even matching the best selling console of last generation anymore, that's a fact. You just make claims without backing it up whilst I kept providing hard strong numbers.

Current console sales for both the X-Box 1 and PS4 are way ahead of their predecessors at the same period in their life time by a factor of over 70% in the USA alone  and that's after the lost economic slowdown in living life time  .

The fact you ignore the Wii's sales is very telling. Whilst the PS4 + Xbox One is up 70% in the US, the majority of that being thanks to the Playstation 4, which again is not matching the sales of the Wii.

Oh and what game is topping the charts in both around Europe and the USA it's the console FIFA and Density and the PC version of Sims IV is left if their wake .

Okay? Again you ignore the major points which is titles like Diablo or the big ones like Dota 2 and League of Legends.

Yet again you've got it badly wrong and just watch SONY and MS have a nice Christmas and Black Friday  selling even more consoles on the Back of GTA V, Halo Collection , COD . In decline my foot  . Just a shame that SEGA Japan is way behind the rest and offering next to nothing for the next gen console gamer 

You need to ignore consoles to make it seem consoles sales are up when they are in decline compared to the previous generation. It is a fact the three consoles of this generation are lagging behind the three consoles of the last generation.

But please stop trying to disprove me and shifting the argument to something completely unrelated, I kept asking you to stop talking to me because this is what you do. You attack me on a point I am not even addressing you (That was towards Ryan.) then you try to disprove me by showing you won a previous argument (Which you didn't, all you did was shout out statements without links or any sort of evidence, laughable how you said that 90s PC gaming was in a better condition than PC gaming currently.) and derail the subject completely (Moving away from the current Yakuza game, then onto talk about the engine, then talking about other engines and then onto sales trying to discredit me.) it's the usual tactics from you.

Oh, no doubt it is high but like i said it depends on which game you are on about in the series. Sony advertised YAKUZA 3  for Sega because they were exclusives and to alleviate the costs for marketing from Sega...in order to attract people to buy the PS3. YAKUZA 3 helped boost the PS3 sales once it was released..which was what Sony needed at that time.

Post by: ROJM on October 02, 2014, 09:04:07 am
Yakuza 1 and 2 was the cost for both games....since that was how much it cost for the engine when they created it. YAKUZA 2 only cost a fraction of the overall budget because the engine was up and ready...and only needed to design the game around the power for the engine.

Keep making yourself look a fool...you've been proved wrong on this so many times now...saying outdated tech and having absolutely nothing to back you up doesn't win an argument.

But like i said this is all for attention seeking and you are deliberately debate trolling so people pay attention to you. No one in their right mind will keep using points that they haven't proved and proven wrong and a regular basis..unless they are indeed crazy....

That's not the point, you're shifting the discussion again, we're talking about the Hedgehog Engine here solely.

And what sort of improvement is that? It doesn't stop the issues I pointed out magically vanishing.

And again that is the point, as I have said SEVERAL times, I am not arguing the Yakuza engine is good, I am arguing that the Hedgehog Engine was never great even back in 2008.

Maybe that's just as well since they sold less . And any with close to 200 staff will cost a lot to make, even with the ground work done.

Yakuza 4 sold more than Yakuza 3.

Yakuza 3: 509,223
Yakuza 4: 557,771

No really the $25 million Budget was only ever confirmed for Yakuza .


SEGA confirmed that the combined budget of the original Yakuza and the sequel was $20 million. A budget of $25 million for Yakuza would mean SEGA has been selling the games at constant lose.

And didn't most 360 and PS3 game cost on average  $30 million to make and unlike Yakuza 1 or 2 those are games made in the High Def era . Heavy Rain cost its self like 20 odd million to make and on almost every technical level the tech beats Yakuza III or IV .

No, most PS3/Xbox 360 games cost between $10 million - $20 million to make, for example Gears of War 2 cost $12 million to make.


SEGA Japan is behind on Tech and needs to up its game

And the Hedgehog Engine is as much part of that problem, even in 2008.

No you have banged on how the engine was great and ready to show off next gen shaders and all that, it's not great at all, like the Yakuza engine, it's substandard compared to other rival engines in the market.

And Canvas isn't an impressive engine.

No SEGA only ever confirmed the budget used for the 1st game , unless you can prove otherwise

Can you prove otherwise?

If the budget of Yakuza 1 was $25 million, then naturally the budget of Yakuza 3 should be higher due to the inflated cost of HD games, but a budget of $25 million would mean Yakuza 3 would have to sell over 700,000 units before it can even breakeven.

Well in a EDGE special with the like of EA/Activision/Ubi and Ninja Theory they said the cost of the average next gen game was around $20 to $30 million

EA, Activision and Ubisoft are not the rule, they are an exception. All three are targeting the high end of game developers and with excessive budgets.

C'Mon we can all show off the one example . I mean Lost Planet cost Capcom $30 to $40 million

And a good chunk of that budget was $20 million spent marketing the game. Another example, Uncharted 2, had a budget of $20 million.

It was more in the end wasn't it . Also in a EDGE special with Naughty Dog they spent millions in R&D pre prepping Drakes II  and I don't think that was factor in the end costs .  Most of the big games on the 360 and PS3 would cost 20 to 30 million to make

What ? Each new Yakuza Game is just more of the same . You know I don't mind that , but SEGA should do what the likes of Ubisoft do and that's have separate teams working on the updates and also seriously update its tech like Ubisoft does . So you can have the same old gameplay that people like, but with a brand new setting and tech allows the game to at least look and feel fresh Face facts SEGA is milesbehind on tech Here's Ubi

ANY EXCUSE REALLY


Not point out that SEGA Japan is behind on tech and not praising the Hedgehog compared to other 3rd parties next gen offerings , like what implied. Very clear that I'm saying the whole of SOJ tech isn't up to next gen standards

Still looks better than anything coming from SEGA Japan and by quite a margin . Too many people overblow the resolution gate .  The likes of Ryse run at 900p and it pisses on almost all games other XBox One and PS4 games , even those running at native 1080p.

And this is why TA is a joke. Sega behind on tech when the fact that the so called outdated YAKUZA engine is running the game faster than his example? Why does he even come here anymore?

To be fair, Ass Creed Unity CAN run at those specs on PS4 I believe, but they purposely downgraded it so that there wouldn't be any 'debates and stuff' about the graphics difference between PS4 and Xbone.

That's not the point. For something that is outdated and inferior....it seems that it can go toe to toe with many of the engines he favours....That's what i'm saying.

I was just thinking, can they put OutRun in this game, or will they have to ignore it because Ferrari License and Sega blowing all their money on Hulk Hogan instead?

A game running faster or at double the frame rate does not mean 1) its a better engine/Tech , 2) Its a better looking game ..


Just to give you a few examples .... O.TO.GI 1 and II have far better engines look far better than the likes of Shinobi and Nightshade on the PS2 even though the likes of Shinobi are runnning at double the frame rate . Titanfall does not look better than Destiny on the XBox One even though its running at double the frame rate.


If SEGA had done what Square Enix had done with Tomb Raider on the PS4 and that's port the game with not only a massive upgrade in graphics but also supporting 1080p and 60 , or even just 30 fps on the XBox One . I'll be impressed . All SOJ done is put a game that looks like a decent PS3 game on the PS4 and that's about it . The game looks exactly what it is a last generation game running on next gen hardware .

 Quite a lot of Playstation games were ported to the Dreamcast and all they saw, were  slightly better graphics and sometimes if one was lucky a doubling of the frame rate . Still in almost every case they were outdated engines. And as for the 60 fps ; Soul Reaver might be running at a rock solid 60 fps on the Dreamcast, but you going to make out that's a more impressive engine and features better graphics than Shenmue 1 or II

Like usual you can't back up what you say and no sorry I haven't been proved wrong at all (other than the sales of Yakuza IV). So go back to thinking that just because a game runs at a higher res and runs at 60 fps that means its an impressive engine.


Thinking like that will make out that Soul Reaver is better than Shenmue on the DC , which is just laughable .


Anyone who looks at both AS Unity or Yakuza Zero will see the massive gulf in Tech , never mind the likes of Deep Down or Bloodbore.

It looks like if you live in Japan, you won’t be able to experience the power of X when it comes to playing Yakuza Like a Dragon.
I would say in the title that SEGA delayed the game, but according to the Game.Impress article from Japan, they’re saying Microsoft Japan is delaying it and not SEGA.
Probably because in Japan the game was suppose to come out digitally only.

Trivia: Yakuza Producer said Nintendo Switch isn’t an ideal platform for the series

Quote
“To be realistic about what happened, Yakuza 1&2 HD for Wii U was a huge failure.
But we are always looking to develop for multiple platforms as much as possible and know that brings in a greater audience to attract more people.
However, as far as Switch is concerned, I’m convinced that it isn’t the ideal platform on which to develop Yakuza games.
Maybe people don’t expect this kind of game on Switch. Maybe they’re used to different games. It may not be the ideal platform.

The homeless community plays a significant role in the latest Yakuza narrative, and while I had faith that the goodwill would continue in Like a Dragon, it's always a hit or miss in media about how the homeless are portrayed.
For me, the more negative annotations of the homeless hit particularly hard, because that was my reality for a large portion of my life growing up.
Thank you to Yakuza: Like a Dragon for championing marginalized groups, a theme that is prevalent through the Yakuza franchise as a whole.
Thank you for not abandoning that and thank you for not shying away from that vulnerability.

Archipel video interview Toshihiro Nagoshi
to talk about the Yakuza series’s origins and evolution.


(https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/552/065/a88.gif)

Quote
Nagoshi wanted to pursue something that felt closer to their identity.
To do so meant having to give up on a few of their earlier goals.
The first was to give up focusing on the worldwide audience part and instead focus on the Japanese audience.
The next part dropped was the need for a younger audience.
The third major point was when the team decided it was okay if women didn’t like the games.
This led the team to focus on making games for adult Japanese men. 
After narrowing down the themes, Sega went with one that involved “outlaws in Japan,” and the rest was history.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon Review – The New JRPG King is Here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knx6dHMj5Qk

Quote
Yakuza: Like a Dragon has engaging characters, high budget cutscenes, an incredible dub, and even better yet a great story to tie it all up.
I found the combat to be great, I think that the job system is brilliant and I’m excited where the future of the Yakuza games goes from here. The team has done nothing but knock it out of the park when it comes to their more recent games.

Japanese only Yakuza: Black Panther on PSP gets English fan patch after 6 years of work

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Eq_47wbXAAUCF11-750x430.jpg)

Quote
The PSP exclusive Yakuza: Black Panther (also Black Panther: Yakuza New Chapter) or as its known in Japan Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinshou came out way back in September 2010.
The franchise got a sequel and even a TV show based on the new, younger leading character. Sadly due to low software sales in the west we never got a localization of this spin-off franchise.
There has always been a really good online guide you can use but now you can play it with a fan made patch.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is Niche Gamer’s Game Of The Year 2020

Like many, we were initially apprehensive when it was announced the next entry in the Yakuza series would be an RPG.
These fears were quickly cast aside.
The world through protagonist Ichiban’s eyes made perfect sense, and an ideal fit for a series that manage to marry serious drama with sheer absurdity.

SEGA targeted the European and American markets first which resulted in it being released in both regions at the end of 2020 both on consoles and PCs.
But not for the Asian market which seems to have to wait longer without certainty.
Now all stores in Asia such as the PlayStation Store, Steam, and Microsoft Xbox Store will get their own version.
Not only that, the Steam version, which until now still has English without any Japanese on its user-interface and only voice, will get a Japanese patch on February 25, 2021.

Yakuza's Creator On His Life, Career,
And Why Sega Should've Fired Him In The '90s


(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/190830_1_03.jpg)

Quote
Toshihiro Nagoshi : “I’ve been to so many of the bars and shops there [in Kabukicho], so I know a lot of it, but it’s only just a tiny percentage of this huge, bustling area of the city.
When we were drinking and talking about it, someone, and it wasn’t me, someone mentioned, ‘What if there was a game where we can go to all of the places here? What if there was a way to do that?’
That really stuck and eventually led to the Yakuza series.”

Yup, but still before making Monkey Ball, he's working on Virtua Racing (his first title as a designer) and Daytona USA (as Director).
Sega of Japan CEO at the time complained that games became too expensive to make, and Nagoshi was kinda unhappy hearing it.
As his type of protest, he developed a very simple and inexpensive game that just needed a lever to control with no buttons, just to prove that it was possible. That game was Super Monkey Ball.

Its actually kinda crazy that SEGA didn’t allow this before considering how games like Yakuza got huge brand awareness in the West due to streamers and YouTubers making videos on the games.
This whole guideline sadly isn’t applying to Atlus or western developed titles such as Total War, but if its a success for SEGA; we can all assume this will all change.

Rumor: Judgment coming to an end over disagreement with lead actor’s talent agency due to PC release

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lost-Judgment-750x422.jpg)

Quote
According to the Nikkan Taishu article, SEGA sees the PC platform as vital to the game’s success where Takuya’s talent agency isn’t for it.
Maybe they aren’t happy having it on a platform that could easily be modded and ruin Takuya Kimura’s image.
Since he is a huge boy band, its obvious that these talent agencies are over bearing and controlling.

China’s NetEase in Talks to Hire Toshihiro Nagoshi
(Creator of Sega's Yakuza & Super Monkey Ball Series)


(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/190830_1_03.jpg)

Quote
NetEase wants to play a bigger role in developing the games and content it hopes will turn into international hits, while also burnishing its credentials as a global rather than purely Chinese firm, the people said.
The publisher established a console game development studio in Japan last summer and hired industry veteran Tetsuya Akatsuka from Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. as its head.
Nagoshi’s hiring will extend that strategy, with the Yakuza creator likely to reprise his role of running a semi-autonomous studio within a larger organization.

Voice actor Greg Chun, who plays Yagami in Sega's Lost Judgment series, and Localization Producer Scott Strichart sit down to chat with us.

Q : "What was the hardest part of Lost Judgment to localize? What took the most care to make it easy for Western players to understand?"
Strichart: "From a technical standpoint, probably the minigame that returns from Yakuza Kiwami 2 where you have to string a bunch of words together in the correct order to make a functional sentence.
And worse, there’s a “hard mode” if you attempt it while drunk. Multiple words have to work in multiple situations, and it’s just… such a localization challenge."

I remember when I first played Yakuza 0, I couldn't find the option to switch from Japanese voice actors to English. Then I realised it's not suppose to, that them being japanese is part of their character. While I've only played half of the one Yakuza game that I can't regard my oppinion valid but should LJ have english voice actors or not?
Title: Re: New Yakuza
Post by: Berto on August 31, 2021, 08:01:06 pm
Some prefer english dub, some prefer original Japanese voice.
It's hard to satisfy them all since english dub would mean more cost.
I prefer original VA but I'm glad they put english dub in LaD and LJ since I have that one friend who only played a game if it has english dub.
More sale to the game.

Amongst America's pride, culture and traditions that make it stand out from other countries, it's still a hodge-podge of other internaitonal cultures. So I guess it's possible for Yakuza to be in places other than Japan.

Lost Judgment Teaches You a Thing or Two About Mystery

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/210917_2_4.jpg)

Quote
While Yakuza hasn’t shied away from serious topics, Judgment makes a point to address societal issues.
Lost Judgment doubles down on this. We’d go deep into this sort of stuff if it wouldn’t spoil a lot of the narrative!
It’s fair to say that it spends a lot of its time and energy on high school bullying.
This sort of thing might resonate vividly with a lot of players, for better and worse, and it’s important to know that going in.
Things go badly sometimes. Situations don’t turn out the way you want. It makes for an engaging narrative, but one packed with emotional burden for the player.

You don't have to force yourself to play it if you don't feel like it or don't have time/console to play it.
Game is a hobby, not a burden.
Just put it on wishlist and visit it later when you got the chance.

Lost Judgment Review – Our Favorite Detective is Back and Better Than Ever (PlayStation 4)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEqhL4wSnPk

Quote
RGG Studios continues to deliver high quality engrossing stories with Lost Judgment, while packing the game to the brim with extra content, adding tons of new additions and even reworking older systems.
Lost Judgment also has one of the best finales in recent memory and well worth the playthrough since the game delivers a tight narrative. It’s nice to see that the team added new ways of traveling with the skateboard, allows you work with a cute detective dog and even lets you own a SEGA console.
Believe the hype Lost Judgment is a great game that’s worth playing.

Khinsider Has Removed 500+ Albums Related to Sega

"Segapocalypse!
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega.
At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why."

Quote
In order to unlock the "Where is the Time Capsule?" side case in Lost Judgment, players will first need to reach Chapter 3.
There is a group of former students in the Seiryo High School Courtyard that Yagami can speak to and begin the case.
They will give Yagami the following riddle, "The giant's wheel lords over the tree with the most branches, three steps south from the roots. Two more steps east, and there a treasure rests."

That's good to hear. While some think Sega can only make Sonic games, I've been concerned that their other games have been doing a bit too good to surpass the mascot. Good to know Sonic is still ahead.

Yes, that's why I always laugh every time I read "SEGA should sell Sonic to Nintendo/Microsoft/...." comments on youtube.
Sonic is their most profitable franchise. Why would they sell it, lol.

There are some who believe Sega would be better off with Microsoft. And by that I mean if Microsoft brought Sega off from SegaSammy. After all ever since Sammy Holdingsmerge with Sega, SegaSammy had redestributed Sega employees amongst other Sammy subsidiaries and enforced regulations on them to the point that Sega since then had never been the same. And it shows given the SegaSammy merged happened in 2005, with Sonic '06 being the first major Sonic game since the merge.

Meanwhile Halo games are given the budget of hundred-millions in dollars and Microsoft give them free range to the developers of these games however they think best. After all Microsoft is a multi-billion dollar industry. They probably only care if the game is good or not.

Imagine Microsoft going up to Sega and saying "We want a Sonic game exclusive to PC and XBox. Here's a few hundred-million budget. Now if you excuse us, we literally have the rest of the world to run."

But as you said, Sonic Team makes millions for Sega and SegaSammy won't relinquish Sega.

The SEGAbits Swingin' Report Show LIVE – Our Favorite and Most Disappointing SEGA Games of 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-pjvCz7AQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-pjvCz7AQ)

As for me, my 2021 favorite is Persona 5 Strikers, the game is fast, stylish, and fun to play.
Better than the turn based prequel, Persona 5 OG/Royal, since it's faster.
The most disappointing is Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage since it's announced to be released globally but turned out it's not released on SEA territory.
I don't care anymore whether the game is good or not, the hype is gone. I'll stick to Idola Phantasy Star Saga for mobile gaming.

The series has helped the service grow and has been an example many people have used in recent years to point out how a Netflix style service for games can help people discover new series.

Lost Judgment The Kaito Files DLC Arrives on March 28, 2022

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/8f6ec94c134e4d19f62b9c0fa9e74417/78741c1a298a545c-ee/s540x810/1f6182ecbae355968d492d811ef337d684f91150.gifv)

Kaito will play differently than Yagami both when fighting and investigating. His two combat styles will be Bruiser and Tank. He’ll also use Primal Focus to rely on his gut and observation techniques to discover clues.
As for his mystery, he’ll be solving a case connected to his lover with a young man who is supposedly his son with her. It is expected to be about ten hours long.

Toshihiro Nagoshi’s latest studio has seemingly already changed its logo

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232412915313934340/952851452743786576/Nagoshi_logo.jpg)

Quote
The studio has filed the logo with the European Union Intellectual Property Office, where it is registered for computer games software, advertising, entertainment services and development of video and computer games.
It’s currently unclear if or when the studio plans to transition to the new logo, or if it will use it in conjunction with its existing logo.

Agree. It's as bad (IMO) as Shenmue's logo.

It's stylish and can still be read. Just for representing a company you want a logo that can clearly be read.

Before I know what Shenmue is, back then I don't have a clue what it's supposed to read.
But yeah, most company logo are so simple and easily can be read.

I think logo's are allowed to be stylish as long as they're not too illegible to read at first glance. But I also think it's a problem if they're too bland. Like when Google's logo looked more reflective in the '90s to early 20's but chose to make it flat. Or when Paypal had a stylized P as a logo but just made it into pong.

As long as there's paypal word below it, otherwise I would have a hard time to recognize it instantly.

From the studio that brought you the Yakuza series, Lost Judgment weaves elements of investigative sleuthing, noir narrative and action combat into one mystery thriller.

This requirement does not apply to games with a wholesale price of less than $34 or PlayStation VR games.
Developers will reportedly have up to three months after their games launch to release a timed trial, and timed trials are only required to be available on the service for at least 12 months.

Comparisons between the HBO series "Tokyo Vice" and Sega’s action-adventure Yakuza

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3oWrNQo_Ng

Quote
Like Sato, Kiryu was brought into the yakuza by a higher-up who picked him up by the scruff of his neck with the promise of a better life should he pull his weight in the organization.
But that too, along with his image of the yakuza, starts to crumble once he’s thrown in the center of an underworld conspiracy and a series of power struggles.
As brooding and somber as Tokyo Vice‘s Sato is, especially when compared to the steady and stoic Kiryu, Sato never seems fully on board with the brutality of the yakuza, no matter how much he wishes he was.

In a collaboration between SEGA and FITZ, a new eau de toilette fragrance featuring Goro Majima, a popular character in the Yakuza series, will be sold at select Don Quijote Group and Yodobashi Camera stores nationwide in Japan starting this Saturday, May 14, 2022.
Both bottles feature one half of Goro Majima’s tattoo in their design, and when the two fragrances are placed side by side, they both form one single picture.

I decided to ask people in the Yakuza community what they’d like to see for Yakuza 8 or what it might be called in the West, Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2.
We are joined by The Tojo Dojo, Pseudochel and Yakuza Fan as they tell you what they’d like to see in the next blockbuster installment of the Yakuza franchise.

This is a massive turn around for a series that was once seen as dead in the West.
It looks like Sega’s strategy of releasing games around the world at the same time has paid off and it’s something they wish to continue doing in the future.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon: Kazuma Kiryu, once one of the most fearsome yakuza and known as the "Dragon of the Dojima Family," comes back to Kamuro-cho after a ten-year jail sentence.
His return means many things to many different people, but to one girl, it means she may have a chance of finding her mother.
To one of Kazuma's yakuza friends, however, it means a chance to settle a score.

The glitz, glamour, and unbridled decadence of the 80s are back in Yakuza 0.
Play as Kazuma Kiryu, a low-ranking yakuza, who gets caught in a world of trouble when a simple debt collection goes wrong.
Then, step into the silver-toed shoes of Goro Majima and explore his “normal” life as the proprietor of a cabaret club.

Interestingly, the game’s title drops any mention of “Yakuza”, making it much more of a direct translation of the original Japanese version.
Given the seventh Yakuza game was Yakuza: Like a Dragon and this game embraces the Like a Dragon title, perhaps SEGA is rebranding the series?
What are your thoughts on Ishin!?

Yakuza Dev Still Doesn't Think Switch Is The Right Platform For The Series

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama explained how the team is hesitant to port the series across to Nintendo's hybrid system as its family-friendly image could potentially clash with the "underground feeling" of the Yakuza series:
"Do we want to put a title like this where we're going around and picking a fight with the world and doing all this Yakuza stuff, on a Switch...
We still kind of think of ourselves as people of the night world, right? We don't want to be like walking around the day with everybody else.
Like for us, it's kind of showing this kind of underground feeling. I think the underground kind of feeling is what we want to do."

Sega explains why it’s dropping the ‘Yakuza’ brand
The series will now be known as 'Like a Dragon'


(https://c.tenor.com/ZfxG3eanNM4AAAAC/yakuza-yakuza-like-a-dragon.gif)

Quote
A Sega of America representative explained that the rebranding was to maintain parity between the Western and Japanese releases.
“I can confirm the series will be known as “Like a Dragon” moving forward to more closely align with the Japanese name,” said the representative.
In the franchise’s home country of Japan, the series has always been known as Ryū ga Gotoku since its inception in 2005, and takes after the name of its developer, Ryū ga Gotoku Studio.

The original release back in 2014 never left Japan.

Executive producer Masayoshi Yokoyama said, “We saw how well Ghost of Tsushima did, and how it was about this very Japanese setting made by Americans, so that gave us confidence Ishin could do well in America too.”
Yokoyama also noted that the success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon introduced the franchise to a new audience.
The timing was just right as well. Many players never got to play the original version of Ishin back in 2014 when it was released on PlayStation 3 and 4 as it didn’t get localized outside of Japan.

The "Yakuza" series will be retitled "Like a Dragon" in the West partly because of Ishin

Quote
RGG Studio family head, Masayoshi Yokoyama, explained why Yakuza is getting retitled. And it’s mostly due to the 2014 Ishin! spin-off.
Basically, Ryu Ga Gotoku: Ishin is a spin-off game that takes place in 19th century Japan.
There are certainly criminal factions, but no Yakuza. Releasing a game called Yakuza: Ishin!, containing no disco-suit wearing members of the Japanese criminal underworld, wouldn’t work.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is not getting an English dub
The specialized vocabulary and the way people talked during the Bakumatsu era would make the lines incredibly long so it just wouldn’t work.

Quote
Producer Masayoshi Yokoyama said, “Starting with Yakuza 7 we’ve even been able to change the characters facial movement so they’re moving along with the English dialogue. It’s different than a foreign film dub.”
He added, “We fix their mouths so that they look like they’re properly speaking English. That’s where we’re at now. You can do that kind of thing with CG so in that way it’s actually better than live action. After we’ve changed the language to English we can change the characters faces to fit that as well. Japanese people are used to reading subtitles because we watch lots of Hollywood movies.”
“For the Ishin remake we’re using subtitles. We’re not dubbing voice overs,” he said. “We’re translating the game into English, but the specialized vocabulary and the way people talked during the Bakumatsu era would make the lines incredibly long so it just wouldn’t work. So this time we’re doing subtitles.”

Judgment mod restores actor who was deleted by SEGA

Quote
When Yakuza spin-off Judgment was released in Japan, where it's known as Judge Eyes, the voice and facial capture for Kyohei Hamura—the captain of the Matsugane family, and an important character in its crime thriller story—were provided by singer and actor Pierre Taki.
Three months later Judgment was withdrawn from sale, then re-released scrubbed clean of Taki's involvement.
Hamura's face was remodeled, and his voice re-recorded by a different actor, Miō Tanaka.
The Judgment Pierre Taki Restoration Patch (opens in new tab) is a mod that brings back both Taki's likeness and, if you're playing with Japanese audio, his voice.

I thought and hoped with Nagoshi-san gone the creative side of SEGA might make a come back. I guess its a bit soon and while its nice to see SEGA focus on making AAA games for the consoles and PC again. It's very disappointing to see them milk the Yakuza IP (yet again) and even more of a letdown to see the team use Unreal for the Remaster, much less have the team handle the remaster too.

I would have liked to see the team given more time to work on a new IP and the Yakuza IP given a little break. I'll still end up buying them all mind LOL

Strike when the iron is still hot and I guess that what they do with Yakuza.
That reminds me that back then they used Unreal for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania since Dragon Engine isn't compatible with Switch.
Could it be they that they use Unreal since may be they're planning Switch version too?
Not soon of course but may be a year later after PC/XBox/PS4&5 version?

Last year they made Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania and Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown so I'm sure they're good enough to create a new Non Yakuza game.

‘Yakuza 8’ Will be the ‘Largest Like A Dragon Game to Date, Sega Confirms

(https://i.ibb.co/3kSxBkN/LAD8.jpg)

Quote
Yokoyama further added that Like a Dragon 8 role-playing gameplay design would share similarities with Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
This choice was made due to the game’s story since both games include a ton of discussions and focus on working with friends, so the RPG system and combat appeared to be the way to go.

Yakuza devs reveal why Ishin was remade instead of Kenzan

Quote
"From all of the fan feedback we have received, many fans wanted an Ishin remake more than Kenzan," the Yakuza executive producer Masayoshi Yokoyama and chief producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto pair told the outlet.
"We also believed that Ishin was more popular, and if we wanted to bring in the Kenzan remake, we would want to change the storyline a little bit, and that would take a lot of time and would be budget-consuming. It really needs good timing for us to consider a remake of Kenzan."

Milk like SEGA did with Monkeyball more like ;). I'm not a fan of years sequels for non sports titles and Mania is made with Unity BTW.

They are said to be making a new IP but with the team having to work on so making Yakuza games one wonders how many resources they can dictate to the game.

I agree with you and that what hurts so much.  The team show they can make ace new IP; Binary Domain is ace and for me better than the Gears of War Games. I so rather the team make a sequel to that game

I see.. So that's why Mania is running flawlessly in Switch..
Still it's a 2D game though so I guess it's not the best comparison for Yakuza.

I can imagine how it went in SEGA HQ :

RGG Studio: Okay, if a new IP can't be our focus, our Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown! is also done now, can we make Virtua Fighter 6 now?
SEGA : Sure. But after you finished Ishin remake. And LAD Gaiden. And LAD8.

LAD8 is 2024 so probably their new game or VF6 (if it ever planned) will be out in 2025. Or may be later than that if turned out LAD8 is a succes and SEGA askedthem to make LAD9.

Because they were handled by different team at SEGA,
some are good at console (Sonic Team, RGG Studio, Creative Assembly, Sports Interactive, Relic Entertainment, Amplitude Studios),
some are good at arcade (Division 5 including AM2 and SEGA Music Team, Sega Studios Shanghai, SAI)
and some are good at mobile (Sega Networks, HARDLight, PlayHeart, Sega Sapporo Studio ).

Also outside from Sonic, FM, and Miku,
I think SEGA weren't interested in mobile games for global version that much.
SEGA's mobile games mostly sold well only in Japan,
Chain Chronicles is the example.
It was huge in Japan but kinda flop in global version.
Even last month only 1 global game managed to the SEGA's top 12,
others are Japan only games.

Speed Battle and Dash constantly on top downloads (by number of download), but from money revenue it had hard time reaching SEGA's Top 10 mobile games.
And control-wise, Speed Battle and Dash' touch control would be weird on PC.
SEGA's mobile games that also have PC version (Yes, SEGA do have them but JP only for now : Chain Chronicle, Net Mahjong MJ, and YAKUZA Online) has touch control that's basically could be replicated easily with mouse.

Yes, and that would be weird for a PC game.
People will complain,
"What? Just moving left and right and press boost? The control is too simple!"
Fans are already complaining about Sonic Forces' control ("press boost to win" joke) and the last thing SEGA wanted are more whining fans like those.

Yes, and that would be weird for a PC game.
People will complain,
"What? Just moving left and right and press boost? The control is too simple!"
Fans are already complaining about Sonic Forces' control ("press boost to win" joke) and the last thing SEGA wanted are more whining fans like those.

I don't think fans would complain over that knowing full well they were originally mobile games.

That be like complaining over how simple the controls were for Sonic 1. D-pad for movement and a jump button. Too simple.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio hasn't actually settled on Yakuza 8's final name.
Is it Like a Dragon 8, or Like a Dragon 2?


(https://i.ibb.co/3kSxBkN/LAD8.jpg)

Quote
It turns out that although the sequel was revealed as "Like a Dragon 8" last month in September, the studio hasn't completely settled on this name for the new game.
According to the interview with Yokoyama, we could well end up with a sequel called Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2, or simply Like a Dragon 2, following in the footsteps of Yakuza: Like a Dragon led by newcomer Ichiban Kasuga in 2020.
Yokoyama revealed Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio traditionally ends up observing user reactions to the names of their new games, before settling on them.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon producer says its cast was effectively based on Luffy and his crew.

"To me, Ichiban is basically Luffy.
And around him there’s Zoro and Nami and basically the rest of the party.
One Piece’s party composition was on my mind so much during writing that it was a massive influence," said Masayoshi Yokoyama.

"I want us to turn out hits that truly represent Japan and give rise to social phenomena.
In the past, we have created products like Pachislot Hokuto No Ken and MUSHIKING: The King of Beetles that reached beyond the Group’s existing fan base, gaining recognition even among people who are not typical game players and garnering widespread public attention.
Going forward, I want us to turn out hits that go above and beyond these crazes.
The latest Sonic movie is one such hit. Released worldwide in the spring of 2022, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 broke the record for the highest grossing video game-based film ever in the U.S., and met with high acclaim worldwide.
I saw a local shopping mall in the States that was overflowing with Sonic merchandise.
Those are the kind of hits we want to create, titles that represent Japan, and we want to see similar scenes all around the world demonstrating their huge popularity."

For the current fiscal year ending in March 2023, Sega plans the global simultaneous launch and multi-platform support for 12 new non-mobile games, which are expected to sell 12 million units (it's worth mentioning that the English version of the announcement includes a typo and reports 1.2 million units. The Japanese version has the correct figure).
According to the company, the conversion of its current IPs into global IPs is progressing and the growth strategy is moving to the next stage.
The core factors in that strategy going forward are treating its IP pool as a treasure island and reviving and scaling globally recognized IPs by reforming them to fit modern demand.
We also hear more about the acquisition of Rovio, which Sega hopes will change its mobile footprint from 12% overseas and 88% in Japan to 45% overseas and 55% in Japan.
The following synergies between ...

Most Vtuber fans will also know her voice and attitude from former Hololive star Kiryu Coco.
Coco was a dragon woman and a yakuza matriarch. This, along with her name, was all inspired by longtime Yakuza/Like A Dragon protagonist, and the protagonist of Like A Dragon Gaiden, Kazuma Kiryu. Kiryu Coco graduated (Vtuber term for stepping down from one’s agency, derived from Japanese idol culture) from Hololive in July 2021.
She immediately resumed streaming independently as Kson from then on and later joined Vshojo’s lineup.
Kson has long been a devout fan of the Like A Dragon series of games and ...

Rumor: PlayStation Showcase 2023 to air within next few weeks

Quote
According to a tweet from Grubb, the current timing of PlayStation Showcase is the “week of May 25.”
In a follow-up tweet, Grubb said, “I said ‘week of May 25’ because that’s probably the latest that week it could happen. But it could happen earlier.
I just don’t want to say week of May 21 and then people get mad when it doesn’t happen on a Sunday.”

"In the global marketplace, AAA game titles for console have been sold at $59.99 for many years, but titles sold at $69.99 have appeared in the last year.
We would like to review the prices of titles that we believe are commensurate with price increases, while also keeping an eye on market conditions.
Also, for titles that are planned to be offered via subscription services, revenue made via contract deals are also included in sales figures, so we would like you to be aware that when these figures are divided by the number of units, there is an apparent impact on the increase in unit price," the response reads.

Actually only the original Yakuza 1 on PS2 has an english dub (and also Fist of the North Star and Judgment if they are counted).
Infinite Wealth (trailer) is happened in America so it makes sense if they are talking in English
(though probably it's just to show that Ichiban was not in Japan again and the language could change into Japanese again when the game started)

Yep, but there are many gamers who only played game if they are dubbed into their language, they prefer listening than reading dialogues in games.
In Japan it was not limited to games, even all movies are dubbed in Japanese.

Kiryu's New Voice Actor Calls on Yakuza Fans to Wait for Like a Dragon to Come Out Before Passing Judgment

"That little monologue he did was painful," said a Reddit user in response. "And the yell at the end was very much not Kiryu."
The YouTuber posted on Twitter to defend himself though, and released a better quality but still not professional version of the audio clip.

GoG Yakuza Games Scrub A Bunch Of People From The Credits, Including Series Creator Toshihiro Nagoshi

(https://media.tenor.com/mdPXOAKqj9cAAAAC/yakuza.gif)

Quote
While the games themselves appear to be identical to the versions already available on Steam, there were two notable differences.
The first was that, this being GoG, there was no DRM (Digital Rights Management).
The second is that in a number of the games changes have been made to the credits that omit some of the most important people involved in the development of the series.
There’s clearly some studio politics involved in this that I absolutely do not want to get into (because I have no idea what has gone on!), but whatever has gone down at Ryu Ga Gotoku over the last few years, it’s still a very bad look to actively scrub someone’s name off the credits of a video game that has been out for years.
It’s an even worse look to ...

However, following its trailer at the Summer Game Fest Showcase, Sega announced that pre-orders would receive a Legendary Fighter Pack, which features Daigo Dojima, Majima Goro and Taiga Saejima.
While Sega hasn’t officially confirmed their roles, a new panel at Anime Expo 2023 (rough translation via @CyricZ42 on Twitter) revealed they’re playable in the Battle Arena.
It’s likely an optional mode separate from the campaign, which bestows different rewards. Again, we’ll need ...

Quote
The recent RGG Summit Summer 2023 event showed a clip of Kiryu telling Ichiban about a proposal. Many fans soon believed that this might be a reference to Kaoru, with several theories being made about a potential return.
During the interview, Yokoyama shot down the theories as he explained:
“With regards to the proposal, it was actually very lighthearted. There wasn’t much depth to that. He just wanted to go with the flow of the conversation and say, Hey, you know what? I proposed before without thinking much about it. So, there won’t be any further talking about the actual proposal in the background of that conversation because it was mainly just out of fun.
We did actually have a deep talk on this on one of our show on livestream, so you can ...

Having become an agent for the Daidoji Faction and assigned the codename “Joryu,” Kiryu hunts down an illegal gold smuggling site in the Port of Yokohama.
It was supposed to be an easy assignment; little more than loose change for the organization.
When he arrives, he finds several dozen Daidoji agents on standby. Despite having reached the rank of chairman within the Tojo Clan, Kiryu has maintained a relatively low profile among his peers here.
Unable to resist their provocation, he ends up violently lashing out, which only widens the gaping hole ...

Little is currently known about Nagoshi Studio’s debut game, but its head honcho stressed that it won’t stray too far from the formula that made the Yakuza games such a success: drama, violence and humour.

Two larger-than-life heroes brought together by the hand of fate, or perhaps something more sinister…
Ichiban Kasuga, an unstoppable underdog who’s no stranger to crawling up from rock bottom, and Kazuma Kiryu, a broken man facing down his last days.
Experience one-of-a-kind combat with dynamic, fast-paced RPG battles where the battlefield becomes your weapon, and anything goes.
Adapt your party’s skills to the situation with outlandish jobs and customizations to strategically subdue enemies with over-the-top moves.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s Dondoko Island is accessible by dolphin. Once there, players can craft DIY furniture, build a house, catch bugs, go fishing, and enjoy other Animal Crossing gameplay staples. The debut trailer for Dondoko Island shows protagonist Ichiban Kasuga smashing rocks to get raw materials and picking up trash to turn into treasure as part of his “dailies.” As Ichiban builds out his island, he turns his sad male living space into a lavish beachside home.
The rest of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth seems equally bizarre and ambitious, letting players fight Danny Trejo, play a spiritual sequel to Crazy Taxi, battle a giant shark, ...

The Japanese company saw strong growth for its Pachinko and Entertainment Contents (read: video games and films) business for 2023. In net sales, Sega Sammy saw ¥389.6 billion (or $2.58 billion) this year, up 21.4 percent from the previous year's ¥320.9 billion. Similar rises were made in operating income (¥46.7 billion, up 46 percent) and ordinary income (¥49.4 billion, up 48.4 percent).
Sega attributed those increases to the Japanese side of its business, and in particular to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. 2022's Sonic Frontiers was noted as "one of the best games" for the entire series, and last year's Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film "helped accelerate the [brand's] growth."
Similar praise was heaped onto Like a Dragon (née Yakuza). The open-world franchise has sold 21.3 million copies, and executive officer Masayoshi Yokoyama promised the series will grow "through our transmedia strategy."
Finally, Atlus' Persona series (which has sold 17.7 million units) was also highlighted for its "significant" growth throughout the year thanks to ...

You really will have to start playing Yakuza Like A Dragon, Yakuza 6 The Song of Life, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, and Middle Earth Shadow of War right now if you want those platinum trophies. All four are long games and require a fair chunk of time just to finish. They are also the highest quality games on the list, I'd argue, and well worth playing (Shadow of War doesn't quite match its predecessor, though).
Friday the 13th The Game had a really strong following until the game servers were shuttered. It's an asymmetrical survival horror game that ...

Like a Dragon Exhibition Will Let You Mourn Dead Characters

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBNezvTbsAAL3MA?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
The event’s name is “Like a Dragon: The Men Who Perished Exhibition.” You’ll be looking at all the fake gravestones, portraits, and Kiryu and Ichiban.

"Only thing I had was the love for Kiryu": VSHOJO's Kson talks Yakuza,  joining RGG series, favorite moments, and more (Exclusive)

Q. It’s no secret that you’re a fan of the Like a Dragon franchise, from your 893K YouTube subscriber milestone to some of the nicknames of your fans (Teppoudama, kson-gumi Kouseiin).What makes the series so special to you? What brings you back each time?
Kson: The Japanese “Yakuza,” for me, is all about the beautiful bond of “family out of blood.” I think that kind of connection was something I wanted the most in my life. Our family used to move a lot because of my father's job, which made it super hard for me to make friends as a little kid. I went to five different elementary schools.
When I finally succeeded in calling someone a friend, it was my time to move to another place. I guess that’s why I really love the concept of Yakuza families. They never betray and are connected with special bonds, even if one’s life is at stake. I want to be a trusted big boss to tell every member of my “family” I have their back.

Q. Like a Dragon, as a series, has undergone quite a few changes over the years; perhaps none bigger than Yakuza: Like a Dragon being a turn-based game with a brand-new protagonist in Kasuga Ichiban. It felt more like a blend of Dragon Quest and Like a Dragon.How did you feel about Kasuga and the turn-based shift? Did you enjoy it, or do you prefer the more action-based gameplay?
Kson: At first, I was confused to know that the whole game was gonna change to RPG style. Kinda scared at the same time, too, because I loved the fighting action part so much. But when I played Like a Dragon 7 for the first time, I was surprised to see...

Sharp-eyed sweets fans will also notice that signs at the bar promise taiyaki, pancake-like fish-shaped sweets stuffed with anko (sweet red bean paste) or other fillings.
That’s because when GiGO acquired Sega’s arcade business, they also acquired the Sega Taiyaki part of it. You might be familiar with Sega taiyaki from their appearances in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon video game franchise, where they’re a health-restoring consumable item, and rest assured that though the real-world version won’t heal injuries, it is delicious enough to fill your heart with joy (by nature of ...

Sega Sammy attributed its boost in overall sales and profit to its pachislot and pachinko machines business.
But profit within its Entertainment Contents segment declines due to weak game sales.
Sales of new games during this period reached 5.2 million units, down from 6.9 million during the same period last year.
Catalogue titles sold 13.8 million (up from 13.7 million), with full game sales totalling 19.1 million (down from 20.7 million).
Looking ahead, Sega Sammy revised its forecast for the fiscal year. The games firm previously expected net sales ...
