Yakuza Ishin announced

Neat. Sakamoto Ryoma was a kind of bridge figure between the samurai and modern eras. He wore a kimono with shoes and had a sword and six shooter. This game will probably be set during the historical upheaval following America's forcible entry into Japan.
He can fight the Shinsengumi!
He can fight the Shinsengumi!
The protagonist to be assassinated, I guess. If the game follows the histrical fact, there isn't a suitable role for Haruka. I hope her role isn't Ruoma's girlfriend.
Well, this matches up with this:

I have made a mistake by not reading more about this. Never thought that His would be a Vita title too. Sorry.
Calling it now, the "truth" is that Sakamoto didn't actually die. He faked his death to escape from the world so he can spend HAPPY DAYS with Haruka.

Well, there were actually two Yakuza games for the PSP.

They showed a logo for resident evil psp. I'm just saying that yakuza vita should not surprise anyone, especially since sega is one of the most successful publishers on the platform.
IMHO some people enjoy Kenzan better than Yakuza main series.
I wish Ishin turns out to be as good as Kenzan...
If SEGA is thinking about releasing Yakuza on Vita then they would release Black Panther series I guess.

Vita game would be amazing, still want the black panther games to come over, they looked really cool

Isn't black panther a bit different form other yakuza games(because of psp limitations)? I vita got a yakuza game, I'm sure it would play closer to the console entries.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Asking a big corporation to do more work and charge less.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

yesss more Kenzan! can only be a good thing
ah, that explains the lock when i was posting, haha
while spinoffs of a niche series seem like the prefect struggle-match, i think they're gonna work on the next black panther cat-collector sim for that one
nope, prolly not! fortunately, we have our ways
ps guys seriously, the Kenzan ship has tragically sailed a long time back (1/2 HD prolly leaving the port soon too), focus your betting efforts on 5's localization, it's our best shot!

O is this the VitaSUS game?

I never realized Ryu Ga Gotoku had such a big female fanbase, I was at the event in Shinjuku and there were a lot more girls than guys.
Cero rating at least means it's a console game.
So hyped!

Man I'm hyped. Kenzan! is my favorite, nice to see a spiritual successor to it. I will import this anyway as usual.

I'm really surprised Yakuza games don't sell that much in the west, I can't believe stuff like Ni No Kuni outsells it. If Sammy acquires Atlus and keep them separate, I wonder if Atlus USA would start bringing them over.

And release it with 1&2 HD.
Srsly i have the feeling Sega is just lazy as fuck. They could release Yakuza 1 & 2 HD meanwhile because THEY HAVE the translation. But nope they are not doing this. Or doing some Kickstarter with some Goals for Translating those games (500.000 for Yakuza 5, 800.000 for Kenzan and 1 Million for 1&2 HD just as an example. 1 Million should be enough right?)
If Sega has no money for a Retail-Version they could release it on PSN. But no... they let us hanging and translate Hatsune Miku instead.
They are not promoting the games. I never heard of Yakuza until i saw the 3 one for 10€. Bought it and i fell in love for this franchise. Then a few months befor 4 we got one message. Then it released and no ads or anything. The same with Yakuza Dead Souls.

as a Yakuza fan: it's not really lazy, porting HD versions of older niche titles during a generational shift was a longshot at best, honestly.
and i wish i could copy stumpkapow's post everytime kickstarter was invoked: that's a venue for small studios in need of funding, not large ones that are naturally risk-averse. they have the $, it's getting them to invest it in the property.
ho's be thirsty for my man Majima, and let's not act like Akiyama ain't balinnnnnnn'
Ishin means restoration. It's restoration for them in the west ;pThank you for the split bump
As for they named Yakuza kenzan (means 3) for PS3, I'm wishing Ishin (means 4) is for PS4.
I know it's a wishful thinking.
You know that Project Diva F localization only needs to translate some menus, right? Don't expect them putting subtitles in every song in the game. Releasing the game in the west is probably a lot cheaper than an open world game.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I agree. Kenzan is my favorite, too. None of the other RGG games come close.
So, I'm guessing by the name (維新
that it's going to be set at the start of the Meiji era?Viola of the Abyss

I got a fan!
The screams were the loudest when they showed Daigo Dojima and Akiyama though.
(I was about to scream too when they showed Aki and Majima!)

The entire game is dance battles and the protagonist is Hatsune Miku.

Why would you say that with certainty?
Took about 5 seconds googling Nagoshi hostesses.

Sakamoto
died in 1867, so actually this game will end with the beginning of the Meiji Era

He said he's done with PS3.
IrishNinja

did he? that's promising!
thinking about it, though...we saw 2 so late (well into PS3's life cycle) so i'm not so certain...of course, i'm mainly dwelling on this because of my hopes for a localized 5, heh.

i see you Tizocs
you know, hate to bring that talk in here but im on the fence about keeping my PS4 preorder just cause im gonna need the $ and there's not much for me at launch...but if we magically had some assurance of this making it over during the first year or so, i'd stay just for that
