omg.........that is one awesome box art (^0_0^) . better than the jp cover

BOX ART:

Sega has learned :O

Now that is a badass cover.

People will disagree but American cover>Japanese cover

 

[I AM JOHN!]

That boxart is too attractive; it's almost like Sega actually wants the game to sell more than twelve units this time.

 

[Kagari]

even better than japan this time.

I think so too.

 

[Alucrid]

Now that is a badass cover.

I agree completely. We deserve it after that travesty that was Y3's box art.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Wow awesome boxart. Looks like SEGA is making up for Yakuza 3. I had imported a copy of this but decided that I'd wait to play it. Glad I did. I'm so stoked to play this come next Spring. Had a great time with every game so far, and from what I've played of 4, it's the best one yet.

Thank you for bringing this to us, SEGA!

Boxart is definitely much cooler than the Japanese one. Minimalist compared to the JPN version.

 

[Revolutionary]

Holy crap, that is a sexy cover.

 

[ULTROS!]

Yakuza 4 Box Art is really nice.

 

[BeeDog]

:lol Makes the shitty Yakuza 3 cover look like a first-time-attempt in Paint.

 

[jorgeton]

Wow.

*Slow clap*

It gave me chills.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Oh god....you don't think they're gonna start over estimating things now do you?

 

[Red Blaster]

Make it bigger please, I can barely see anything.

 

[Ronin]

Dat boxart.

Dope stuff right there.

 

[Cloudius12]

Boxart is very nice but I think the word Sex appears too much, unless that what the game is about? I never played number 4.

 

[dallow_bg]

Never Forget.

 

[GeoramA]

9/10 for the boxart. 10 if it had Majima and Haruka.

Sooo much better than 3's.

 

[Manaka]

If the word sex will help Yakuza 4 to sell like crazy- put even more of it on the cover :lol

Aside from that the boxart looks great

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

nice cover

 

[rvy]

That's a very nice boxart, surprisingly. But they're not redeemed unless they supply a different cover for Yakuza 3 bundled with Yakuza 4. :lol

 

[Truespeed]

Bad news for Garnett Lee

 

[Suzuki Yu]

Oh GOD! this is some real fine cover :O

 

[dreamfall]

so so beautiful. this game is going to be wonderful, as long as they don't cut bits and pieces of content!

 

[Gray-Jaeger90]

If the word sex will help Yakuza 4 to sell like crazy- put even more of it on the cover :lol

lol yea I just noticed that:

"sexy girl"
"sexy style cafe"
"sexy pub"

 

[Majine]

Way to go, Sega. From worst cover to Best I've seen in a long time.

 

[TheKaeptain]

so so beautiful. this game is going to be wonderful, as long as they don't cut bits and pieces of content!

Sega already said they won't cut anything.

 

[slaughterking]

SEGA did something right. The apocalypse is near.

 

[mello]

My, SEGA has learned indeed.

 

[kiryogi]

Sega already said they won't cut anything.

I'll wait until near release for the final details on that, but it's looking like i'll double dip. Holy crap that's nice. And yes I agree with the notion that it's better than the JP boxart.

 

[No_Style]

Wow. That box art is bad ass.

Spoiler

But it does remind me of a boy band album cover

Also, did they improve the hostess models in RGG4? I was somewhat glad they didn't have the hostess clubs since the ones I met in those burger joints were ghastly to say the least.

:lol @ them asking for dates in random burger joints though. Couldn't they stick them in bars at least?

 

[androvsky]

Sega already said they won't cut anything.

Except for the what they already said they'd cut. So far, only the quiz game is confirmed to be cut, but there's a lot that's up in the air still.

What frightens me is if Sega's learned something, what are the two things they forgot?

 

[Don]

Far better boxart this time.

Now they just need to not cut any content this time and keep Butterfly City for the intro and I will be completely satisfied.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Not every day you get to see the world 'Sex' on a video games cover in the west.

Much better than the Japanese cover too.

Didn't hear about the quiz game. I guess it has to do with the amount of translation that would be needed.

 

[-DarKaoZ-]

HOLY SNAP! That cover is amazing! It even looks better than the Japanese one! HOW HAS THIS HAPPEN!?!

I'm amazed! :O

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Didn't hear about the quiz game. I guess it has to do with the amount of translation that would be needed.

I believe it was quoted as the Western audience not really knowing the answers to the questions. It's a quiz that focuses heavily on the culture of Japan and the like...

 

[Suzzopher]

So many games to play, but a trophy run through of Yakuza 3 is so appealing after seeing more of this.

 

[kiryogi]

Quiz game. no big deal. But let's talk about the real things shall we?

-Hostess clubs
-Create a hostess
-ALL sidequests
-create a fighter
-dual audio options.

That's the make or break as always.

 

[firehawk12]

If by dual audio you mean an English dub, I hope they don't go to the expense of that.

I'd really love them to have mahjong though, but because I'm too lazy to try to sift through Japanese menus in order to play a "real" Japanese mahjong game. :lol

Personally I'd prefer sub only, but gotta please both sides. :lol and yeah all side games minus the quiz games.

They have create a fighter?

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, although I think at this point anyone who would have complained is playing Mafia 2 instead or waiting for GTA5 or something.

 

[kiryogi]

They have create a fighter?

From my jp topic

Oh man, the fuck awesome factor just went up. For you folks that didn't want to manage/train hostesses, now there's also manage/train a fighter. And for folks that did love it, it's now 2x the simulation fun! You actually get to spar with your fighter too.

 

[Interstellar]

resize.

 

[Jme]

That box art is def. better than the JP version. It's really nice.
Comparison:

[TheKaeptain]

From my jp topic

That sounds badass. Hype +1 for this game.

 

[Boney]

what a funny title.

 

[Wario64]

Sega still has a chance to fuck up the box art. We still havent seen the back or spine art.

 

[storafötter]

What a nice cover, surely this will look appealing to random people at least.

 

[Tailzo]

Great boxart

 

[Lindsay]

Awesome cover but no awesome subtitle? Boo!

Will buy but let remain sealed as I carefully watch the Segac forums to see if people playing notice stuff missing like last time around.
