No. Yakuza 0 was released there too and did not have English subtitles.
It's like they did that on purpose or something :<
So that new Gundam game will have English subtitles though...weird decision making going on over there

A precedent has been set for a Japanese PS3 release to get a PS4 release in the west, Bandai Namco have done it at least 3 times, Square Enix with Dragon Quest etc.
The main point is this, Yakuza 5 is either going to be a niche game targeting a last gen platform with sales declining rapidly, or it can be a niche game targeting a platform with increasing sales and momentum (and is slowly getting a much bigger Japanese games presence every year).
Just something else, i'm not saying abandon the PS3 version, i'm saying release on both. I never stated the PS4 version needed to be physical either. Also lets not forget 6, your argument that 5 is so long in the series that it would be weird for it to be released on PS4 here, well 6 is in that same boat.
Its absurd to think anyone would buy a PS3 game without a PS3 to play it on.
Also you don't need a PS3 to buy Yakuza 5, you need one to play it.
How likely is it that the Asian version(s) (Not Japan), on Remake, get English captions?
btw HBH I finished Y1 and made a thread about it, currently chugging through Y2. thanks again for the video.Not very.
So is Yakuza Kiwami kinda like the Halo 2 Remake ? (Updated engine,assets..etc ) or something like the FF7 Remake ( pretty much a completely new game)
We already have the game translated , How hard would it be to bring it to the west. At the very least a Digital release. Cmon Sega this is your best shot at getting people into the franchise.
They can then release Yakuza 0 if its successful , since its a prequel.

From what has been announced/shown so far in my opinion it sounds more like a Resident Evil REmake styled remake. Updated graphics etc. to put it in line with the newer games, new story content, new side missions/mini games, a whole new side story/mini game type of thing focusing on Kiryu Vs Majima etc.

Thank you. LTD is <200k for all those games combined. On PS2, Yakuza 1 is best selling <50k, on PS3, Yakuza 3 is the best selling <70k
US sales at retail.
Don't even ask me what yakuza 2 and Dead souls did.
yes that's correct.
I don't see why they don't just drop it on PS Now at the same time. Sure, rental pricing bollocks, but it's at least get a few more people playing it.
We may get yakuza 5 for PS NOW, so we can all enjoy on ps4.
13:00 to 13:40 Yakuza: Kiwami Yakuza series supervisor Toshihiro Nagoshi and guest film critic Arimura Kon discuss Yakuza: Kiwami, plus a new announcement.
I see , that would still mean they are retaining the original VA and dialogues right ? I think it would be way too expensive to remake all new dialogues.
Hopefully the fact that its already localized before pushes Sega to bring it over.
Just buy it off the US PSN then.Exactly, and I don't have or want PS+.
US psn everyone gets discount for preordering, + or not.
I'm not buying if I don't get the same.
I own Yakuza 3 and 4 only. I plan to get to them eventually. Can someone who has played the entire series rank them for me? I'm curious on where the games stand.
You mean quality wise or timeline ?
Either way, all games are great, but If I were you, I would start with Y4. This should prepare you well for Y5.
If they have Y3, they might as well start with it. I wouldn't want to miss out on it.
apples to oranges though
1) sega =/= namco, though oddly i do recall reading bandai almost bought them before sammy
2) small base/low sales + localization costs + super risk-averse sega = we'd not be getting this without sony, who at this point i think we can safely assume was doing their #buildingthelist effort as a sort've fan goodwill project, considering that even with minimizing their risks i doubt they're expecting a big return here
which is to say: any cost put into porting this to the PS4 would likely be seen as a waste for an already uphill effort, really surprised so many on here are kinda sidestepping all of this
nah, they tried exactly that with part 1, and never again put up the $ for both voices (thank fuck) or advertising
part of the problem might've been expecting it to be/play like Mafia but in Japan - no offense but Y1 was already up against the expectations of weird shenmue fans like myself at the time, throwing in the GTA crowd - already oversaturated at that point with Mafia, Scarface & so many me-too's - and you've now got people thinking they might play an open world game that lets them take on cops & do whatever. Yakuza's a very specific kind've odd that i think would appeal to a lot more people than it does now, but i don't honestly think the overlap in these groups is as big as Sega did in '06...still don't
Just buy it off the US PSN then.
Create an account, and buy some credit off amazon, easy.
Again, to me, If SEGA had made effort after the first game to try and sell it different/convince people it's not Japanese GTA, I think the series would have probably done better with the subsequent releases (it's a 3D brawler with a sort of a RPG twist, there has to be some way to get that marketed across).
Or at least make character backstory video for all 5 playable character in Yakuza 5. And don't make it a developer interview video with Nagoshi explaining in Japanese why Kiryu is cool. Just make a mini movie showing why he's cool
Did the original English release of Yakuza on PS2 have subtitles? If that's the case they would have like 70% of the text already translated anyway.
3 actually sold better than I remembered. I thought it was around 30k.
Seems like Takeshi Kitano's gonna be in Yakuza 6.

Wait does anyone have an archived stream of the announcement from earlier today?

Wait ...what?! Sorry I havent been fully following the thread. You have a source?
There is a trailer for Yakuza 6 playing in the closed theater part of Sega's booth. It has no gameplay, but a bunch of scenes hinting at the story direction. Akiyama, Haruka, and two new characters are apparently the leads, while it appears that Kiryu might be "dead" by the time the game starts. The game supposedly takes place in both Kamurocho and America. Beat Takeshi is the only new cast member announced so far.
The Beat Takeshi stuff is confirmed here: http://www.4gamer.net/games/317/G031724/20150918013/
Well, we never got Yakuza 1+2 HD Collection, and those were already translated...
And this remake has additional stuff too.
Yeah but you can't buy exact amount in credit can you?
So I'd have to buy over and I'll have ££ left over on that account no?
Meh.
Wait wasn't that for the Wii U. I really doubt that would have sold more than 100 units in the US.
