Animal Crossing got people hooked on NES games pretty well in it.

Throw in a VF3 and Scud Race port in the next one while you´re at it SEGA.

Nagoshi is such a boss! Yakuza is seriously such a great franchise. I need to play Dead Souls at some point!

speedpop · (09-19-2012, 05:56 AM)

Fucking sold.

For old time's sake.

firehawk12 · (09-19-2012, 05:56 AM)

This is just another reason why Sega of America won't localize the game, right?

Kincaido · (09-19-2012, 05:57 AM)

Awesome!

I'm back on board for Yakuza 5. I had to take a serious break after playing three and four; no one person should be exposed to that much silly melodrama.

edit: oh us release isn't a definite. this whole thing again huh

BurnOutBrighter · (09-19-2012, 05:59 AM)

Yo dawg, we heard you like games....

Inorigo · (09-19-2012, 05:59 AM)

Fucking. YES.

Is Yakuza 5 a new story arc? (Not that it's guaranteed to come over given Sega's financials.)

Ravage · (09-19-2012, 06:01 AM)

oh this is nice!

It's still Kazama. lol

He's pulling an Old Snake though, dealing with being old and whatnot.

Good news about this game just keeps on coming. Definite GOTY chance for me.

THE NO LIFE KING · (09-19-2012, 08:53 AM)

Ahh yeah!

GrayFoxPL · (09-19-2012, 07:19 PM)

Amazing. I was already impressed by the pachinko VF and other games in Y4.

A lot of modern RPGs have detail well beyond what VF2 has. Do you mean you'd choose that detail level as an intentional stylistic choice? With the right art style that could look pretty great.

twinturbo2 · (09-19-2012, 07:31 PM)

Not going to bother unless Target: Terror is also in there, maybe a couple of pinball machines, too.

SpikedGunner · (09-19-2012, 07:32 PM)

nice...now bring this over to the West, SEGA.

Winnie the Pimp · (09-19-2012, 07:33 PM)

awesome...

Hasn't Sega been struggling financially for quite some time now? Yet that didn't stop them from bringing over Y3, Y4 and Dead Souls so there is hope right?

MattKeil · (09-19-2012, 07:35 PM)

As I understand it the Yakuza games do well for what they are, so I don't think a US release of Y5 is an impossibility. Might even be likely.

Can't wait to play this for 2 minutes and then never again.

I love VF2's look as well, but I don't think it's style was intentional at all. They were trying to make the most detailed characters they could with the technology at the time. In retrospect, though, that clean polygon look is great. All those Model 1/2/3 games still look fantastic--just look at Daytona HD.

Fixed for superiority.

Yuterald · (09-19-2012, 08:43 PM)

Man, there is a CRAZY amount of content/features in this game. Ugh...the more I hear about all of this the less likely I feel like this is going to get localized. =(

rvy · (09-19-2012, 08:45 PM)

WUT!

WHAT?!

MEGATON! Day one!

shinkansen.3000 · (09-19-2012, 08:48 PM)

Nice!! Now they need to put the full Shenmue playable in the next one, so we can play Sega classic games inside a Sega classic game inside a new Sega classic game!

We have to go deeper...

That's what she said.

Anyway, it's too big.

That's what she said.

Terra_Ex · (09-19-2012, 09:04 PM)

Awesome, let's hope the localisation crew doesn't decide this won't "resonate" with western audiences, there's a hell of a lot of stuff being packed into this iteration.

Yeah, but so were NES games, and that visual style is super hot in the indie world now. The funny thing about the bleeding edge of technology is that eventually it becomes something that reminds someone of their carefree youth.

Cyberquake · (09-19-2012, 09:20 PM)

Yakuza 5 in english or no deal.

I'll probably import it anyway.
