I think before TGS, the Sega CEO mentioned that they will be revealing a game which will appeal to the worldwide audience, what game did that end up being?

You mean that Lexus project? What did that end up being anyway.

 

[Acquiescence]

if we're talking probabilities it is overwhelmingly likely that Y6 will get localized as Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 and Y5 have. I also wouldn't be surprised if we got 0.

Yakuza 5 got localised by the skin of its teeth though. If it fails to sell any kind of substantial numbers when it comes out then I fear that would be it for western fans of the series.

source?

Hmm, reading the article again, it seems I made a mistake with regards to "worldwide appeal"

This was back in July

He just stated that they were looking to announce home console game at TGS, which I assume ended up being RGG Kiwami.

Apologies for the confusion.

when does yakuza 1 take place if 0 is 1988?

Prologue starts at 1995.

Bulk of the game is 2005.

I wanted to start my second attempt on the Yakuza series. I played 3 until the first real boss I think and 4 until the point where I had to dress this woman who wanted a loan or something.

Anyway, I will never play 1 and 2, so I wanted to watch those story summaries on Yakuza 3. Is this for real ? It's so fucking small ?

Yakuza 1/2 are very meaty games. It's easy to dilute the core story into short summaries, but playing through both of them, even rushing through the main story beats is easily 30 hours.

No idea what they're saying, but they look like absolute bosses and this beauty.

Dreams.

And here I was hoping for something other than RGG.

Love the series, but I also loved Binary Domain and would like to see them try something new.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Yakuza sales in Asia were 3x more than expectations according to SEGA.

It would be cool, but RGG / Yakuza is their bread and butter in Japan so understandably they will probably focus on it for some time.

Takeshi is hardly gonna be in the game is he?!! I was so happy to see Riki Takeuchi finally appear too

 

[Labadal]

Takeshi is hardly gonna be in the game is he?!! I was so happy to see Riki Takeuchi finally appear too

Didn't we get confirmation that he were?

 

[Rymuth]

4 days until the Nico Nico Livestream

New thread by then?

He is confirmed.

 

[The Bankslammer]

when's it going to be revealed that yakuza 6 is actually just takeshi no chousenjou 2

 

[sn00zer]

Anyone just a bit disappointed its more Yakuza instead of a new IP? They got these games down to a science and they are amazing BUT Binary Domain showed they got a lot more stories to tell.

 

[SolidSnakex]

So we're actually going to get to see Y6 during the stream

Sega announced that they’ll show more on the recently announced Yakuza 6 through a NicoNico Live stream on September 28, and we’ll get a first look at scene featuring legendary Japanese actor Beat Takeshi.

Tbh, I'm more disappointed it's not another spinoff set in a different time period (maybe 1940s Shanghai like Fist of the Blue Sky)

Sweet! I didn't expect to see anything from the game so soon, can't wait to see what they show.

I'm torn on this... I loved BD and really want a sequel, I'd also love a new IP from the Yakuza team as they are great at telling stories.

However the Yakuza series is easily my favourite IP these days, and I loved 100%ing Ishin and 0 but I really want a proper sequel to 5 (it been 3 years almost) and really want to see where they take the story so I really cannot wait to see what they do with the sequel.
Yakuza 1 Remake is also something that I really want, as the story itself is brilliant (probably my second favourite story behind 2) but the combat system could really use a overhaul as newer entries in the series have it beat, so getting a Remake with better combat (along with a whole host of other improvements/inclusions) is a dream come true for me.

I hope we eventually see remakes of 2 and 3 if the first sells well.

I think there is a good chance of a Remake of 2 happening, not so sure if 3 will get the same treatment though I can see them doing a PS4 release of 3-5 in 1080p/60 FPS.

 

[Rymuth]

Not sure if thread worthy, but SEGA published the video from TGS celebrating 10 years of the franchise along with Hideo Nakano and Nagoshi. Apparently, this video was shown in theaters~

VIDEO

I think I see some new footage (more of Kamurocho, Snake Flower Triad boss fight)

So Majima appears randomly in certain areas and stalks/battles you? I like it.

Looks good. The level of detail is progressively getting better with each game.
