[Dzab]

FINALLY. I was so shocked seeing this

 

[AmuroChan]

YESSSS!

 

[Nankatsu]

WHAAAAAAAT?

 

[anthony2690]

How is this game for those that have played it? Maybe I'll buy it, as it won't be set in Kamurucho!

(Wait till I find out it is set in Kamurucho but in the past)

[a multicultural team of v]

Awesome.

 

[Raven117]

Is this a remake/remaster?

 

[sojuwarrior]

is it a remaster of the old Ishin game or a completely new game?

 

[Thief1987]

Finally, and remade on Dragon Engine

 

[cash_longfellow]

Is this a remake/remaster?

They said rebuilt from the ground up, so looking like full remake.

 

[Fbh]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!

But fucking finally, and in remastered/remake form no less

SEGA WON E3

 

[Elios83]

Omg yes! I've been waiting this for years and it's coming in February, same month of Harry Potter.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Finally a western release

 

[Raven117]

Cooooooool.

And that Team Ninja Ronin game....gawddamn, I want it.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Cooooooool.

And that Team Ninja Ronin game....gawddamn, I want it.

This was an incredibly solid 20 minutes of material.

 

[LordCBH]

YES YES YES YES!!! 10/10 stream just for this. Playing Ishin with a translation guide…wasn’t ideal.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Holy shit, that looks cool.

Looking forward to getting more info at tomorrow's RGG event, like maybe... A PC port?

 

[Kerotan Frog]

OMG MADE MY DAY. I'VE WANTED THIS! THANK YOU!!!!

 

[Thief1987]

Holy shit, that looks cool.

Looking forward to getting more info at tomorrow's RGG event, like maybe... A PC port?

I think it will be fully multiplatform, beside Switch obviously

 

[SkylineRKR]

What the hell, Ishin comes to the west?

 

[TintoConCasera]

What the hell, Ishin comes to the west?

And not just translated, but it's been made with the Dragon Engine.

Don't why it comes before Kenzan tho.

 

[SkylineRKR]

And not just translated, but it's been made with the Dragon Engine.

Don't why it comes before Kenzan tho.

I have never played Ishin but I can think of a few reasons.

Kenzan was about child prostitution more or less. And its a PS3 game, probably takes more work to bring up to snuff. Though they also redid 1 and 2 for PS4 before. So it might be just the first reason.

Oof, yeah I wouldn't understand that being a good reason for skipping it. Thanks for the info mate!

 

[lame gag1990]

Damnit. I don't have a PS5 yet. Would be nice to see Kenzan too but I'm down for this.

Is that one that was japan only?

 

[Sub_Level]

Is that one that was japan only?

Yes. Both Kenzan and Ishin are Japan-only. Kenzan was released early in PS3's life, while Ishin was cross-platform PS4 & PS3 in 2014.

While its a shame we may never see Kenzan, I can't look a gift horse in the mouth. 2014 is when the devs were working on the magnificent Yakuza 0, so I have high expectations of Ishin.

[LordCBH]

Goddamn February is fucking brutal

 

[reksveks]

Windows and Steam ??? Does sound like a Play Anywhere title

 

[Captain Toad]

I've never played a game called Like a Dragon I didn't like.

 

[Labolas]

Is it an RPG or more like action game?

 

[Labadal]

 

[Sub_Level]

Couple tidbits from the Playstation Blog

- There's four combat styles.

1. Swordsman
2. Gunmn
3. Brawler
4. Wild Dancer

- This remake uses Unreal Engine 4, not the Dragon Engine.

Is it an RPG or more like action game?

Action, with RPG elements like sidequests and leveling. So basically like most Yakuza games. Its not full blown RPG like Yakuza 7 if that is what you mean.

 

[RavenSan]

"Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, and Steam!"

yesssss, title slightly misleading

 

[Aenima]

Finally!

Was hopping they released Kenzan 1st. But hey, im not complaining.

 

[legacy24]

This looks so fun can't wait

 

[Thief1987]

This remake uses Unreal Engine 4, not the Dragon Engine.

It's weird. Maybe it wasn't developed internally?

 

[PsyEd]

Steamdeck certified I assume...can't wait !

Not intentionally I'm sure. Just taken from the state of play we watched.

What he said

 

[adamsapple]

Nice

 

[TLZ]

Yes. Both Kenzan and Ishin are Japan-only. Kenzan was released early in PS3's life, while Ishin was cross-platform PS4 & PS3 in 2014.

Hopefully they're testing the waters with Isshin and it sells well so we get Kenzan.

 

[Fat Frog]

It's weird. Maybe it wasn't developed internally?

Little deception even if it means better performances.

 

[Gambit2483]

Never thought I'd see this day...Thank you SEGA

 

[anthony2690]

Are they dropping the Yakuza name going forwards?

 

[RavenSan]

Not intentionally I'm sure. Just taken from the state of play we watched.

For sure, I watched the trailer and was disappointed that PC/Xbox wasn't mentioned, so I was happy to see it listed elsewhere.

 

[SeraphJan]

Good for those people that missed the original on PS4, which is only released in Japan
