They should hurry up with the localization. Like, before the PS4 is announced.

This might be the first one I buy going by the short blurb
Protip for Yakuza threads: ignore Totobeni and east of eastside.
In every Yakuza threads they post about how shitty Yakuza 4 is and the amusing part is they are the only two people who think that (hardcore Yakuza fans my ass, more like hardcore Yakuza 4 haters).
I'm really curious to see this game. I love Yakuza formula, but after all these episodes I'd like to see something new.

Crap, I still need to beat Y4. Interested in seeing what they do to mix things up. Multiple protagonists in Yakuza 4 seemed indicative of the team being aware that they needed to change the formula a bit. And I'm not too concerned about this not getting a US release. Kenzan not coming over was a fluke, I mean we got Dead Souls! (for better or worse).
Yakuza 5 needs a new setting. Europe. America. Something.

Yeah, I hope they introduce some innovations and changes as Nagoshi said months ago, the series formula dried up after so many almost identical games in so few years.

Hardcore Yakuza fans are wrong. They should consider becoming hardcore cricket fans and leave gaming forever.
There is going to be a bunch of cities for this one right? I remember reading they were go add a Fukuoka and Sapporo setting to go with Kamurocho, Okinawa, and Osaka. I would be happy if they just got rid of Kamurocho though.
The multi-city thing could be interesting but I'm hoping for a better story this time around (I liked the second one the best, then Ryu Ga Gotoku 1, 4, and 3).

Oi! Leave cricket out of this!
Yakuza 4 was great. Granted I've only played two of the four main Yakuza games but I really enjoyed it. Especially with that hi-larious cutscene where Taiga is carrying so many guns he has to shove one in his gob.
Really hope 5 gets released outside of Japan.
Those guys are not fans they are idiots. 4 was amazing. Yakuza 3 is the game that is awful.
I played all the mainline games.

I hope the only playeble character is Kiryu this time. Having other three characters is the only thing i didn't like in Ya4.

The only thing wrong with Yakuza 3 is that Seven Mysteries of Downtown Ryukyu didn't carry on forever more.

After finishing Black Panther 2 recently (and loving it) I'd love to see Tatsuya make an appearance as a playable character. That or having the multitude of fighting styles from that game make it into Yakuza 5.
Yeah, all this Yakuza 4 hate is baffling. I consider myself a "hardcore" Yakuza fan and Yakuza 4 (depending on my mood) might be my favorite of the bunch. I've also played all of the mainline titles so I definitely get why most people consider Yakuza 2 to be the best. Anyway, it's like some people are acting like Yakuza 4 is some sort of GIGANTIC departure from the rest of the series. Christ, we're not talking Final Fantasy VI to Final Fantasy XIII or Resident Evil 1 to Resident Evil 5 kind of jumps here.
The Yakuza titles are just good feel, heartfelt, warm games. To be an elitist with this franchise is just a completely unnecessary and uncalled for endeavor.

Damn I liked Yakuza 3 more than 4 :/. Yakuza 2 is my favorite. The difficulty in Yakuza 4 was just too easy.
Yakuza 4 is not garbage by any means. Whats the conscious on Dead Souls? does it have the traditional Yakuza formula? I need my yearly Yakuza fix.

There isn't any hand to hand combat in DS, so you're going to be using guns. That can take some time to get used to because they're lock on based instead of free aim based. You should enjoy it as long as you can get into a groove with that. Some just can't get into it because they've become so accustomed to being able to free aim.
The story is really over the top like you'd expect from something like this. But I think it's still enjoyable. Plus you get more Majima and Akiyama, and that's never a bad thing.

Different from the usual Yakuza formula, but if you're a fan of the characters and story/setting, you'll take something positive away from it.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.

I really really hope 5 gets localized! The recent news have left me somewhat in despair though...
Why is it that the so-called, self-appointed 'hardcore' fans of seemingly any franchise always say that the latest installment is shit?

Sega has been open in the past to letting other companies bring their games over. So maybe an Atlus or Xseed could pick it up if Sega doesn't want to bring it over?

I can't wait for the announcement. I haven't played Yakuza or Yakuza 2 yet, and I probably won't for a while. 3 was my first, and 4 is definitely my favourite (although I really want to play Kenzan...). I hope Sega doesn't do something like Dead Souls again. Outside of using Majima and Goda it was not enjoyable and I just wanted to finish the story as quickly as possible.

Import! It's easily playable without knowledge of Japanese

I hope they start localizing this before the game is finished so we don't have to wait a year again.

Yakuza 3 was the worst game in the series; deal with it kiddies

But... but.... Valkyria Chronicles 3.... :'(
Let's hope it really happens!

I wanted to ask this, how's the Japanese in Ryu ga Gotoku series? Is it hard to understand? Full of slang and obscure Gokudou slang I bet...
I bought Kenzan considering that we will never see it in English, but the language barrier was 3 steps higher than normal.
