I don't know why people think the games always stay the same but they don't..
Yes, and they do change the gameplay. I don't know why people think the games always stay the same but they don't.
Probably didn't play it. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
YES!
Didn't expect it so soon, I hope we'll get to know what character takes up the mantle after Kiryu.
Becuase they constantly deliver what fans are expecting? And if that isn't the case with sonic/cod/assassin then too bad.
Going back to Kamurocho with each instalment for me is like going back to a place I know and love dearly, always wondering what changed in the lives of characters they managed to make me give a damn about, while always being curious what crazy new shit is inevitably about to happen. No other game managed to replicate that feeling so this is why I won't get mad if some mini-games will get 'reused' atop shitton of new ones.
whoa, that is a long video.
any hints on what the next yakuza game will be?
they said recently that they will be able to talk/reveal the next game in an early stage. just like what they did with Y5 & Y6.No word yet. We'll have to wait until May 30th to know more. I've been thinking about this and wondered the following two things:
Its getting announced fairly "early" since 6 will have only been out 5-6 months in Japan. I expected an announcement at TGS in September at the absolute earliest. Makes me think they might be doing a side game, or remake of Yakuza 2 and release it in December, since it seems strange to announce the game so early otherwise.
HOWEVER
That goes against comments made recently making it sound like the next game would be a continuation of the main series, maybe staring a new protagonist.
So really I have no idea!

i want it to be yakuza kiwami 2 with yakuza 6's engine.
i think there is 0.1% chance for this IMO.The Yakuza series really took off in Asia according to Nagoshi, and that's why they said they were considering more remakes. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming announcement was for a remake of Y2.

Yakuza 5 was announced when they were still focusing on Binary Domain in 2011.
Yakuza 6 even got a demo ready with the release of Kiwami (almost a year a head of it's release) + revealed earlier in 2015
in this year and based on all previous statements in the past 2 years they are most likely focusing on the new IP they've been working on for quite sometime while they might be able to announce or even reveal some of stuff from the next RGG title early (presumably starring a new protagonist and hopefully a new settings as well)
also in the light of their recent statement regarding the Dragon Engine, i think the new IP will use it and it might take it to it's full potential. part of me is saying that this Engine is under development with this new IP in mind.
I just have a small feeling something Switch related will be announced.
Female protag!
*crosses fingers*
i think there is 0.1% chance for this IMO.
for two reasons:
- unlike Kiwami it's going to be more expensive and time consuming using the new engine (specially since they will have to create new assets for the remaining of Kamurocho & the entire Osaka district) + i don't think they will ever use the old engine again.
- and more importantly, they are super busy with two major projects at the moment (the new IP + the next big thing for RGG Series)
a remaster would be the best bet right now.

Yakuza Studio has also reorganized, and from this year to next year were considering various developments, Nagoshi said. During that, I think that there will surely be developments that everyone expects. But personally, while putting my strength into new developments, Id like to work hard enough so that you expect great things from me.
I'm hoping we get remakes and remasters of 2 through 5
sometimes i wonder if yakuza 6 got downgraded?
bottom is an in-game screenshot of kiryu in the demo
alright, cool. one of the reasons I say it is because Kiryu himself looks a little different from demo to final, also the detail on his blue jacket makes it look more real than his classic suit in final. The red shirt looks more flashy and gangster like but the rest looks the same as any other Yakuza game.I'm terrible at telling if things have been downgraded or not unless its blindingly obvious, but from my time with the original tech demo of 6, and then the full game I didn't personally notice a downgrade - much of what was in that tech demo got reused in one way or another into the main game (characters wise) and the city looked just as good, if not better in the full game.
Shit, this is TOMORROW!
Thank God these aren't Western devs. They'd stylise the next game as '7akuza'.
Shit, this is TOMORROW!
the usual cycle is like a year, right? yakuza 6 is kinda on that track being a little more than thatHere's hoping the localized version is released not too long after the Japan release.
I'm really curious who will swap places with Kiryu as a lead going forward, somebody we know? Somebody new?

they tried having it be multiplatform once when 1&2 were remastered on wii u but it flopped.Is there a hope that Yakuza ip lands one day on PC? Since gta likes are rather popular on all platforms it could work.
not only that but because of how long 0 took, we get 2 games in 1 year - Kiwami in August for half priceUsual with the exception of 5 and 0, but they seem to really be picking up the pace now. Admirable efforts.
when I saw this pose it immediately reminded me of thisLooking at Kiryu's pictures above I can't help but feel that he somewhat resembles Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue.
Now that would be batshitcrazy if they made a Yakuza game with him, I need to start buying Yakuza games -_-
