Hope this comes to NA... wanna get into this series

Hope this comes to NA... wanna get into this series

I'm with you.

 

[Edgeward]

Straight into my tiger punching veins

 

[TheSeks]

So, will Shogi and Hostess Bars still remain in this port if Sega ports it to America or will they get axed because "they aren't western enough!" unlike the PS2 versions?

 

[VeryGooster]

Give me give me give me give me give me

Please

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Yes please.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Localisation plz, SEGA. Disc release would be amazing, but I'd happily grab 'em from PSN.

 

[Totobeni]

hope we get English version of the HD collection,both Y1/Y2 are done in english already so it should not be a problem for SEGA I guess.

I just need to play a good Yakuza game again after suffering two really horrible Yakuza games in a row (Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls).

 

[KSai]

I still like the first game dubbed.

 

[DJIzana]

Thanks for posting this!

 

[Zeranium]

Please, Sega.

I still like the first game dubbed.

I liked some more than others... Mark Hamill, yes.
Michael Madsen not so much.

If it does, hopefully they decide not to include the english dub Kazuma for Yakuza 1. But they probably will.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Sega has two wallpapers avialable on the official site

http://ryu-ga-gotoku.com/hd_edition/

They're available up to 1920x1200.

And a comparison from the site

 

[Mikhal]

If it does, hopefully they decide not to include the english dub Kazuma for Yakuza 1.

Agreed. The rest of the game is subbed-only already anyways, do the same for Y1!

 

[- J - D -]

Please! Just release it on PSN or something.

 

[firehawk12]

I'd like a Japanese voice track for 1, but this is probably even less likely to come here than Yakuza 5.

 

[VeryGooster]

I would have liked those wallpapers without the "LEGEND COMING BACK" text.

 

[Ban Puncher]

I'll buy ten copies of Football Manager 20whatever and Aliens CM special editions each if you give this a western release.

Your move, Sega.

 

[Parakeetman]

Shit just got real!

CANT WAIT for this to be released!

Really do hope that SEGA for the West gives the fans the Kurohyo 1 & 2 series a go. Since truthfully its pretty damned good. Though a shame they changed the VA in the 2nd one. Since the guy who did the first gave the character more of a personality. Hell just do it as digital download only and I can assure you the shit will sell.

Has some pretty damned good combat in it which can get pretty intense with the boss fights.

 

[adamsapple]

Let's hope they cut down the loading times in Yakuza 1. The seamless battle transitions they introduced from Yakuza 2 make the first game nearly unplayable.

They've said that they've improved the load times for both games.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Let us pray for both NA release and Japanese VA for 1.

Celebrate by listening to this:

Crazy Ken Band - Dec. 17

 

[C-Jo]

I'd love for this to make it out here, but I wouldn't flip out if it didn't.

Yakuza 5, on the other hand...

 

[Azure Dream]

Please Sega, English Subs on the Japanese disc, no worry about publishing or licensing costs for the US. The magic of Region Free.

Even if they released it just for US PSN, I'm worried some of the music would have to be changed or cut, since I think some of it is licensed?

 

[Parakeetman]

All they need now is to announce cross play compat with the Vita and we will be GOLDEN. Since would love to play it on the Vita as the series works well on a portable device too after having gone through the kuro hyo series.

For those who dont like that, just stick with the PS3 version so everyone wins.

Is that just a suggestion, or an actual thing?

Atlus doesn't believe in magic....

Man, if they get rid of the Crazy Ken Band song from 2. I'm gonna go ballistic

Best song

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Now that's a massive upgrade!

Really? That's great.

I'll import this then, if I need to

One of the best things about the series itself is the music! (At least, for me.) xD

Whoops, sorry, that was just a "please do this thing" post. Sorry for the confusion, I've edited it.

I knew that was far too easy of a solution to be real.

Back to hoping then

 

[Hypereides]

This has always been my most requested HD remaster collection. Always held my hope out that it would happen.

Getting a new PS3 is looking more likely.

 

[Kagari]

Looks pretty good. Might be worth a double dip.

 

[dallow_bg]

Saw the English text on the wallpapers and got excited too early.

Please Sega.

 

[Ravage]

Sega has two wallpapers avialable on the official site

English version confirmed!!1

Spoiler

;(

 

[Koralsky]

YES! Day one on PSN. We are not going to receive retail version of thins in US/EU.

 

[frAntic_Frog]

has there been any news of a yakuza vita title? i thought at one of the gameshows where NGP debut, there was some sort of Yakuza-running-on-Vita demonstration?

 

[Cloudius12]

It probably wasn't the english voices that were turning me off the most for Yakuza 1....it was how off the lip syncing was.

 

[Jimrpg]

what happened to all the "im sick of kamurocho?"

 

[BHK3]

USA USA USA USA

Spoiler

please

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

SEGA: We're so strapped for cash guys, what are we gonna do?
employee: well why don't we release Yakuza HD in Ameri-
employees: FUCK NO!
employees: Jesus, what's wrong with you!?
employee: I just thought it could bring in some reven-
SEGA: get out.




Come on Sega. This is free money here. Don't be stupid.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Yakuza 2 is still the best for story and characters. buy this if you can.

[GreenMakoEyes]

nice.. will definitely get this, I don´t own the PS2 originals.

 

[kuroshiki]

Still though omission of kaoru after 2 was just a bad choice.


BAD.

 

[chickdigger802]

kazuma looked so funky back in the day.

I do wonder if they can even bring this over here without hassle. Licensing up all the old VA could be a hassle depending on how they did it the first place.
