■ Full Contact Melee Action

While preserving the characteristics of the Yakuza series, in efforts to create “the world’s best full contact melee action,” the battle system of Yakuza 6 has been completely rebuilt from the basic systems seen in the series thus far. Yakuza 6 promises intuitive controls and exciting melee battles for returning players and new players alike.

Point 1. Action Matching System

A new system built from the ground up aimed at “feeling the hit” of an attack. Just before Kazuma Kiryu’s attack hits an enemy, there will be a natural attack motion and reaction depending on the situation—like the enemy’s stance, the angle of the attack, and its direction. Additionally, both Kazuma Kiryu’s and the enemy’s reactions will change based on the result of the attack—whether it hits the enemy or whether he guards.

Point 2. Figure System

In the realistic streets of Yakuza 6, it’s difficult to avoid battle on complex terrains. Fine movements, such as the way you interact with, not only enemies, but also terrain and objects by the roadside, character movements, and knocked back characters, have been drastically improved, increasing the reality of battle. This is known as the “Figure System.” Additionally, characters, terrain, and objects intermix in order to showcase the effects against dynamic objects, so you can enjoy a large variety of reactions.

Point 3. Various Terrain Layouts and Objects

In the cities of Yakuza 6, there are various elevation differences, including stairs, slopes, and such, and a variety of terrains unlike anything we’ve seen in the series thus far. And the types of objects in these areas have drastically increased. From things that can be used as weapons, like returning bicycles and signs, to objects that exist only to deal damage, the city is filled with objects to liven up the melee action. The city itself is like an action movie set.

■ A Series First: Choose Not to Fight

In Yakuza 6, going from adventure parts to battle parts is “perfectly seamless.” When you’re exploring the red light district and pick a fight with an enemy character, you can transition to battle without losing control of the character. Additionally, since each enemy AI judges their situation and proceeds with battle individually, if you want to prioritize exploration and story progression, you can leave areas where there is a fight. If you manage to escape from enemy characters, you can avoid the battle itself.

[Maintenance]

As long as they keep putting (translated) Yakuzas on the PS4, I'm buying.

 

[Aki-at]

Kiryu finally meets Ryo.

Good to see the battle system in the demo was just very early in development, hyped for this game but I'll probably avoid importing, want to fill the full experience in English... so basically buying a few copies of Yakuza 0 to make sure this happens!

 

[BakedTanooki]

Looks and sounds like a dream to me
I want it so much.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

I was a little sad that they decided to do away with styles but holy shit that sounds and looks amazing!!!

Everyone please buy Yakuza 0. We have to keep this series alive in west.

Spoiler

And Yakuza 0 is an amazing game so it's a win-win situation for anyone who buys is

 

[CoffeeKillquest]

Looks so good. Combat sounds like it will be fun. I really hope this comes over.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

So will curb stomping a dude kill him yet?

Really though, love the sound of the improvements. Varied terrain sounds. Very interesting.

 

[Zyrox]

Just got done with Y5 yesterday. I need this.

Spoiler

...in the west. Please? :/

Please buy Yakuza 0 chaps.

 

[Discotheque]

finishing up yakuza 5 now. will definitely cop 0 at launch and I'm assuming 6 being localized is a foregone conclusion at this point? (how long the wait will be though...that's a different story)

"choose not to fight" has been sorely needed in this series. sick of these wasteman bums running into me all the time.

 

[Augemitbutter]

this looks like a good videogame.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Dude must have like thousands of that same suit and shirt laying around...

I actually like the outfit without the suit jacket.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Looks great.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I do not care if i have to eat cheap rice and potatoes for the whole month, when yakuza 0 is released.

 

[Caim]

Day 0.

The demo was really great, and finally having the ability to "choose not to fight" is major.

 

[Indelible]

Looks so good, really hope the wait isn't to long.

 

[HyperBitHero]

Awwwesome.

 

[R_thanatos]

So many games and onw we can flee from battle !!

#revolution

 

[plasmawave]

The one thing I don't like about this is that it's almost too good.

 

[RPGamer92]

Looking forward to playing this on Neo

Spoiler

[SephLuis]

[Hexa]

Akiyama's House!? YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Really hope he returns. He's young enough to take up the mantle of main hero after Kiryu imo.

Yakuza 6 story spoilers, read at your peril

Spoiler

Akiyama is confirmed to be back, but not playable as Kiryu is the only main character in this game. Screenshots of hobo Akiyama from 6 have surfaced however its not been clarified if that is just a flashback or not. But he will be crossing paths with Kiryu at very least

.

And yeah, I really like Akiyama and after the ending of 5 I want another game which focuses on him more. I also want another game with playable Seijima, he still remains one of my favourite characters in the series.

On Yakuza 6's battle system - I like the sound of what I've read so far. The tech demo felt pretty good, but it was very early and with so much missing from it I couldn't really form an opinion on the game. I liked what I played but it felt very basic. Going on the assumption that much is added to it, and you get to level up loads in the game to improve your main combo strings and moves list (which I've come to expect from the series), I'm sure it'll be awesome as always.

I just want to see a playspot list now to see what mini games are back, and hopefully the arcade is more well equipped (like 5 and 0) and not woeful like Kiwami was (no arcade games bar the Rock/Paper/Scissors arcade machine? That sucked!). Hopefully that'll be part of the TGS blowout coming this month.

 

[ZeroX03]

One of the best series gets better.

 

[potatohead]

This is legit gonna be one of the best games of the generation, calling it. Everything Yakuza was meant to be from the beginning gonna be in this game.

Just love this series so much.

 

[gnomed]

DAY ZERO.

Day 0 if they localize this one day.

Take my money.

Can't wait till 2018.

Spoiler

If we're lucky

Reality sets in. Maybe that's enough time for me to finish prior ganes in the series.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Looks great, really excited for this and Yakuza 0.

 

[Menitta]

Please buy Yakuza 0.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

[struggler_guts]

All of those improvements sound great! Still workin on Y5 as its my first yakuza and I'm 100%ing it as best I can haha.

Off topic real quick how does Yakuza 0 compare?

 

[-MD-]

Anyone know if 0 is a good starting point for someone new to the series?

 

[Takuan]

Oil checking is in? Day one.

 

[Mubbed]

This combat revamp could make Yakuza one of the premiere 3D action games this gen.

 

[Caim]

Really descriptive and explains the best way to start.

Despite 0 being the prequel to 1 it's more enjoyable if you already know the characters.
