*Cross-gen game (PS3/PS4)*

Thanks, Dualshockers

 

[Justified]

Oh yea

 

[Vanillalite]

Looks good, but not great. Like the style and the setting. Needs a lot of texture work, and it's not actually wowing with special effects either.

 

[Lebron]

Ain't never going to get to play it.

Feels bad

 

[Matriox]

I know nothing about this game, but it looks very good graphically.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Why u tease us

 

[pretty done]

I would buy this but you know... Sega....

 

[SolidSnakex]

Worth pointing out that it runs at 60fps on the PS4.

 

[v1lla21]

Doesn't look next-gen enough.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Looks nice.

 

[Dominic_Shade]

Next-gen Nishiki looking sharp as hell. Wish I could play this.

 

[Replicant]

Kiryuu in underwear. When will your faves?

 

[block tower]

any news about an EU or NA release?

 

[Jacobi]

Looks great. But a little question that came into my mind when I saw that street scenes:
What kind of toilets were there in Japan at that time? Because at some time in Europe, people just threw it all on the streets, doesn't look that way in the shot...

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Does begging for this to come out in the west count as port begging?

 

[Elios83]

Shinobi you shouldn't make us suffer with these screens until the localization is confirmed

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Thinking about getting it on JPN PSN but we'll see. I think there's gonna be a PS4 demo sometime, so I'll check that out.

 

[raphanum]

Never heard of this game, but I'd buy it. Don't care if a game doesn't look "next-gen" because it doesn't have to.

Anyway, too bad there's no western release. The setting looks awesome.

 

[cardinalmind]

But Sega will only find a reason to not release this in the West.

Spoiler

Or get stuck in limbo like PSO2.

 

[dreamfall]

Gah, so good.

So much sorrow at the lack of bringing this Stateside :/

 

[injurai]

might as well be a creative assembly cutscene

 

[Persona7]

this would be something I buy when I get a PS4

 

[giancarlo123x]

This would be a nice release in the summer over her to keep the ps4 from having a big release. We need it!

 

[beast786]

he is such a bad ass.

 

[Jachaos]

I want this. No localization announcement right ?

 

[Zoe]

Anybody know if there's a guide for the dungeon in the Vita app? Kind of missed the point of the cards/abilities(?).

 

[Arkam]

Looks good, but not great. Like the style and the setting. Needs a lot of texture work, and it's not actually wowing with special effects either.

True, but the series has never been a visual standout, always just good enough. So for me this is about what I would expect. Glad to see the series is continuing on the new platforms. Will be keeping an eye on this one for sure.

 

[Elios83]

I want this. No localization announcement right ?

Not yet but it has been hinted....

 

[SwiftDeath]

Ugh why can't I speak/read Japanese?

 

[Aesius]

Looks pretty much like a PS3 game.

 

[Slixshot]

Damn, that's a fine lookin game.

 

[Vanillalite]

.

 

[LingeringRegime]

Damn Japan send this one around the globe.

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

Looks like I'll be making JPN playstation acc so i can buy the digital version instead of waiting for it to get here. Now if only i could understand what they were saying...........please SEGA localize it.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Something about it just looks really appealing to me.

Then again, I might just be saying that because we'll never get it.

 

[MavFan619]

Don't do this to me, I need this game and I won't get it. That or I need to start learning Japanese ASAP.

 

[Fbh]

Looks great.

The yakuza franchise has never realy been known for great graphics but they do put a lot of detail into the environments (for example if you enter a store it's full of different items) and do have so good facial animations, at least during cutscenes.


Damn I want this game SO badly. Come on on Sega, please.
Look I know the Yakuza franchise isn't a best seller in the west, although there is a loyal fanbase and we are waiting for Yakuza 5. And I know that deadsouls which you basically made with western audiences in mind didn't sell very well (or get good reviews) but let's be honest here, a lot of people aready had enough of Zombies and even if they are looking for a zombie shooter there are better options.

But Samurai, and katanas?.. everyone loves that. Seriously, if you are afraid people won't pick it up because they think they have to play the previous yakuza games than simply rename it for the western release. Call it "Badass Samurai: The game" and in the back cover put "Sort of like GTA, in japan, with swords" and "1080p/60fps you like that right?".

Perfect opportunity to return the series to its real name.

 

[Toki767]

I hope there will be a demo.

 

[gnomed]

Holy $@*! I didn't know Sega had it in them to excite me again besides porting their last gen catalog to PC.

 

[tensuke]

Hiroyuki Sanada?

 

[shinobi602]

^Immediately came to mind lol.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It'd be real dumb to not localize this.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

It'd be real dumb to not localize this.

To be this dumb takes ages, to be this dumb takes Sega.

I've been into the Yakuza games since Yakuza 2, I really hope this makes it over. I'm such a sucker for this time period in Japan. Sega pls.

 

[Akahige]

Every time I see a Yakuza game I think it's time to start learning Japanese, I need to do it one of these days cause it sure as hell is not getting localized.

 

[GamingIsDead]

I downloaded the ps3 demo with my Japanese account and was surprised how good it looks for last gen, really unexpected coming from the yakuza series.

I want this game so bad.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Hopefully now that the PS4 is the dominate console in every market it will entice SEGA to localize more games like this....right?

 

[Wishmaster92]

Looks like the ps3 yakuza games, only now in 1080p60fps.

 

[serversurfer]

Oh, this game is about samurai? Didn't Yakuza used to be a JP GTA game? :/

Thinking about getting it on JPN PSN but we'll see. I think there's gonna be a PS4 demo sometime, so I'll check that out.

If it comes to the HK store, there may be an English localization. I know that was the case for a fair number of PS3 games, at least.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Hiroyuki Sanada?

Clearly.
