Yakuza Ishin New Screenshots!

Nishiki? Yakuza 1 bad guy? not sure though



hmm a bit different I guess

yeah i thought Nishiki when i first saw this pic. i think it's definitely him.

also is Daigo on those screens? not sure if he's there or not. i think y3's villain is there. i'm loving these cameos!
 
is he in Yakuza Dead Souls? I know Goda got his high res model in that game

I don't believe he is. It's been a while since I last played DS though, so I might be mistaken. This serves as a good reason to replay it though,but alas...I doubt I'll have the time with Puppeteer and GTA5 around the corner.
 
This game looks fucking great. Will import, like I did with Kenzan. Now the only question remains, PS3 of PS4?
 
I've always dreamt of a Edo / Sengoku game...they only problem is, any game in that period is always arcade like and just doesn't respect the need for good sword combat.


By arcade, I'm referring to Way of The Samurai etc.
 
So Tanimura is never coming back is he? Nishiki coming back looks good, not THAT unexpected (given the spinoff nature), but a welcomed surprised.

Dude..finish it, put it on easy if you have to, but you MUST experience the story..Majima's "ending" is beautiful.

plus Akiyama being badass...I should finish those dungeons.
 
OP lack these

Akiyama is definitely my favorite of the bunch, so laid back! Although Kiryu refusing to "get with the program" as far as the primary gameplay method is hilarious!

You rule, i hope GAF-kun translates.
 
That is actually a good question. Where the hell is Tanimura? Did something happen with his actor? I figured he'd be a pretty popular character in Japan, and I liked him too.
 
If GioCorsi and company do not ensure this comes to the US, then they have failed at life, and should be given a good thrashing before they are sacked.
 
That's a decently sized cast of characters. I've always wondered how much these games cost, considering they only sell around 500k.
 
This game really does look incredible, I'm floored.

Cool to see Mine is back. He almost looks like some of Tatsuya Nakadai's samurai roles.

I would also like to see Tanimura return.
 
Will people ever learn?

They always advertise Yakuza with cutscene graphics. The real gameplay is never nowhere near that.

Hopefully the PS4 version matches the cutscene's graphics this time.
 
I hope Rikiya is in this.

I'm really hoping that he's in as well. Heck, almost every other notable character in the series so far is in (even guys like Hiyashi that I thought wouldn't be back ever) so if ever there was a good time to bring back Rikiya...

Oddly enough I'm sorta surprised they've not announced Haruka yet (or any other female character yet for that matter). I'm hoping for Yumi or Kaoru to be in as they are bringing back pretty much any Yakuza characters past to present.

I really hope Kaoru comes back, is she in Kenzan and Dead Souls?

There is a series of missions for Ryuji involving a girl who looks similarly to Kaoru.

That's about it, but yea, it would be nice to see her back.

I assume it's probably either him (or rather his actor) being unavailable to return or they've chosen to not bring him back, which is odd seeing as in 4
he becomes Date's partner.
 
Kind of starting to wish Kaz's character had the traditional samurai haircut:


He could pull it off. Maybe there will be some costume options that allow this. Cutscenes featuring the alternate looks would make for plenty of replays.
 
PS4. The lighting, modeling and textures are quite a bit above anything that we've seen from the PS3 versions of the series.
Eh...they've always faked cutscenes in Yakuza. All of the cutscenes were always videos.

I hope they actually go realtime with the new game.
 
Sega really knows how to do 3d models of asian faces. Asian faces in western developed games almost always look like crap.
