Wow, that's a depressing list. I know how much my tastes are in the minority of US gamers, but this really drives it home.

-the story takes place in December 1988
-2 main characters: Kiryu Kazuma and Majima Goro
-Kiryu is 20 years old who is living off part time job (tokyo)
-Majima Goro is 24 years old (osaka)
-the story eventually leads to Ryu ga gotoku 1, so you will see lots of characters from Ryu ga gotoku 1

Holy shit, Majima?
So that's young Kazuma on the left and young Majima (with long hair?) on the right?

Why do I open this thread and learn more about something I'll never play?

Sounds good, I'm not so much into 80's but I'm sure they can pull this off with style. Still day one purchase for me.

I've been playing ryu ga gotoku HD lately (happy coincidence ) and one drunk salaryman on the street mentioned how things were so much better 10 years ago. Guess we will see. So 1988 means the bubble economy right? Should be interesting to see all the excess. Is this going to be vice city in Japan?

1988 Ryu ga Gotoku? Yup, I'm importing this day 1.

I know Japan couldn't give a shit about the PS4, but cross-gen is still so disappointing. Sony really needs to step up their game this gen with Japan Studios and make some PS4 exclusives that appeal to the Japanese audience as well as releasing them in the west for those of us who care. It's such a weird situation to be in where major Japanese support for a home console feels like a treat rather than the norm.

Why does it need to be ps4 only? For the graphics? People on gaf complain about this series with their lol ps2 graphics comments so I don't know what you are expecting.
Only Japanese series that pushes graphics is final fantasy and people think the series went to shit when they started being obsessed with graphics. (ff7, ff8, ff10, ff12, ff13)

they both look awesome imo
I think even linking those is bannable?
edit: you should remove those. Scans are not allowed here.

Because designing it for cross-gen means its potential will be held back by technical limitations of the PS3. It has to be built in such a way that the PS3 version can keep apace, which probably means frequent loading screens, no massive vistas, a low number of enemies on screen, etc. I understand why it's cross-gen, but I just think that this limitation can limit the creators' ambitions.

Majima looks badass in those scans, really looking forward to seeing more from the game when TGS rolls around.
Part of RGG5 has a massive battle with a sizeable amount of enemies (and allies) on screen at the same time, and a couple of battles I've had in Ishin so far also have a nice amount of enemies on screen at once so I'm not so sure I agree about that point but I see where your coming from with your other points. I just expect the game to look like a nice PS3 up-port with a solid 60FPS frame rate like Ishin has.
I would like to see what a proper RGG would look like on the PS4 though, I remember being really impressed with the leap the third game was over the second visually (mainly thanks to the camera). If nothing else it'd be nice for them to finally move away from using PS2 era NPC civilians and further improve animations (although 5 and Ishin actually have some pretty neat touches).

1988 Tokyo is basically my favorite retro-future, that's great to hear.

Japan is not enough to make these games profitable right? Most of them are playing mobile games. How can they not localize this?

80s Japan as the setting? 88 is like the peak of the bubble period--this is going to be awesome. Very excited now.
Also, younger Kiryu looks totally like Tomoya Nagase.

Kiryu looks like shit compared to Yakuza 1/2.

The cost of localisation probably isn't worth the tens of thousands of sales they'd get out of it.
He was born a grown man though.

Are they only showing PS3 shots for some reason or is the PS4 really holding back for the cross-gen part of this

Not the biggest fan of Kazuma, but looks awesome regardless.
Also, remember ,,20 year old'' Taiga Saejima? lol, I rather have them look like this than wimps or like some hosts.

If it's like Ishin, it will just be a res-up and frame rate increase.
I'm fine with that. Ishin is great at 60 fps with a very clean image quality.
