I'm hesitant to dive in not only because I haven't played any Yakuza games but I only have a PS4 so I have no easy way to play the others
WOW. I've always wanted to play Yakuza. I remember the very first japanese import review I read here on GAF.
Tell me that the other Yakuza titles will be remade/remastered for PS4? This looks truly excellent.
It's important for me that there are not english voices. I HATE HATE HATE english voice overs in japanese games/anime. It's never good. Besides Cowboy Bebop. That's the only exception!
Even by those standards. It reads like he had a lot to do and admired it but just felt a little bored.Keep in mind that we are very strict about 5 bring average, not 7 or whatnot. Not saying that would change your statement, just making sure that's clear.
I should buy this.
Hoooowwwww I've got mine preordered on amazon
Yes.Haven't played a Yakuza game since the first one that was released on the ps2. Is this a prequel?

I have Yakuza fatigue after playing 3 and 4.
How to sell me on this?
I need a crazy ass, better-told, less sappy story and intriguing boss fights to be interested.
May have something figured out so I can actually pick this game up on Tuesday despite being short on money right now.
Welp, they got what they wanted..I clicked on the review. Dammit.
Best Buy?My copy shipped! Woot
I really want to play this game. But there is just so much coming in the next few months I have no idea how I would fit this game in anywhere.
What should I do Yakuza Gaf?

How many side stories did they add in the Yakuza 1 remake?
Best Buy?
yup!
Lol! I just ordered it from them. Hope it ships soon. I'd preorders Kingdom Hearts 2.8, they shipped it today, said it was coming Monday, updated to by end of day tomorrow. Let's see how fast Yakuza 0 comes. Lol!
heh, they actually shipped it with with KH 2.8. xD
Lol! Win! Lol. Amazing. Will all preorders come early?
if the carrier is quick, sometimes i get them a few days early. happened quite a few times with BB orders.
Did you preorder a Switch?
yea, just in case. altho i may cancel. still on the fence.
Keep the preorder. Maybe get it early.. feel amazing... stare at box.. return if not wanted or sell for profit due to availability and getting it to someone early?
Nothing announced but we can hope, they have definitely been considering it.
Sega Is Considering Remaking Yakuza 2, 3, 4 and 5 for PS4
Yakuza Kiwami was already considered to have sold well in Japan itself, if Yakuza 0's western release is a decent sales success, it could be the perfect time to greenlight it. Seeing as 0 may end up being the first Yakuza game for quite a few people.
true
Considering all the games take place in the same place, wouldn't it be very easy to remake all these games using Yakuza 0's (or 6's) assets?
Actually, each game has a bunch of new settings and characters and there are a ton of side characters so they would need to remake everyone with new character models and assets. Some characters like Haruka ages between installments as well. The combat is also different so they need to work around that too. Not that simple.
Its not only that, but porting everything, making it work in a more current engine. Rebuilding shaders, updating texture res, meshes, rebaking when necessary. Introducing new physics and engine dependencies which would need a design and balance overhaul. Its a lot of work... you think that this kind of remakes should be easy, but they require time and money. At least to make them worthwhile.

Is it a given that we'll never get Ishin?
Also, THIS GUY, Goro Fuckin' Majima should become Sega's new mascot.
That EGM review makes no sense, wtf. It reads like a 7 at worse.
