It looks like old Kaz just lost a ton of weight from a medical condition : (
I want them to show Kaz being born with those fivehead ridges

Yeah, we'll see at least the first trailer at TGS. I'd guess we should get some gameplay mechanics details and maybe a video of some early gameplay as well.

I don't understand why they wont release these games outside of Japan. Especially, given the deteriorating state of the Japanese console market.
Do these people not like money?

Yakuza games do well enough in Japan that they don't really have to release them outside of there.

While I'd be over the moon to get the game in December I can't see it being released earlier than Feb 2015. Two Yakuza games in one year seems unlikely, even if this one is reusing assets from 5 for both cities.

First I lol'd, then I cried.
Only two locations? Tokyo and Osaka? Disappointed.
Yakuza 1 was my favourite, so this sounds somewhat interesting.
They should just include the English subs on the Japanese disc if they are not going to bring it over. That would solve everybody's problems. I'm not even fussed about any gameplay buttons or what not. I can look them up in a FAQ. Just translate the story please.

Considering the cost to localize, I don't think they'll be making any if they release outside of Japan. It is not a cheap process.

Why won't sega just kickstart money for localisation?

They're a huge company and can pull the money off their ass if they see localization as a good business decision. Probably too proud to beg for pennies via kickstarter.

Now it's official zero is coming spring 2015
Oh well, guess we'll see it in Feb/March then which is going to be a packed month with all the other games I'll be getting on the PS4.
Screens look really nice though, I'm guessing that'll be how the PS4 version looks which is fine by me. Also Kiryu looks better in the first screen, sorta reminds me slightly more of his PS2 character model.
I also can't wait to explore Tokyo again this time in 1080p/60FPS. I just hope the arcade has some proper 80's Sega games like Shenmue did (I want Space Harrier again, I love that game to pieces).

Looking sick! Very excited.
That detail.
I doubt Donki was there in 1988 though.

Yeah, I guess the store just time travels since it was in Ishin too.
Probably not going to be completely accurate to the 80's otherwise either.

I really loved the fact that in Ishin they even had an instrumental version of the theme tune when you entered the store. It was a really nice little touch!
That was really a little too goofy for my tastes, but I guess they have their marketing partnership or something.
But really, if your game is set in a certain time period, then do it properly. That goes for 1988 just the same.

Just a friendly reminder that you are all terrible and I hate you and if I were to run into one of you in the street I'd totally try to hustle and fight you then you'd beat me up and I'd go home and I'd cry and play Yakuza to cheer myself up but oh wait nop nop nop nop nop nop.

Kaz is supposed to be 20 there? Reminds me of that Cromartie High School anime, where all the students were 16 or thereabouts, but physically looked like they were in their 30s and 40s. At least in that it was intended as a joke. I wonder if he'll be voiced by Kuroda again. That's going to be weird.
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
because they don't sell .. and this is a business.
Yup, still Kuroda.
Acquiescence
Member
Not that I'd accept anyone else in the role, since Kuroda always does a sterling job, but for a man who's almost 50, he's going to have a hard time convincing me as a 20 year old. Or not, if he can manipulate his voice in the right way.

Yeah, that was the expected answer, but thats why I asked if the opposite also happens.

As in a Bioware type system? No. But there are sometimes preset stories in the storyline.
Never played a Bioware game or any WRPG, so not sure. I'm mainly a JRPG player.
SolidSnakex

Well then there are some romance storylines in the series like you'd see in a JRPG. Like a Tidus/Yuna type of branch.
Yes! Day 1.

Yakuza 2 has a brilliant romantic subplot involving the main character.
That's great news!

You can also go to hostess clubs and take the girls to dates when they like you more, but I don't know if that's so romantic. Basic dating sim stuff.
Anyway I liked playing RPS with Anna Konno in Ishin.
