DREAMS DO COME TRUE

 

[Busaiku]

All you crazies that got rid of your PS3s.

 

[RoryDropkick]

I'm speechless. I was about to buy RGG5 online today too.

 

[Lindsay]

Please don't butcher it like Yakuza 3!

Please don't cheap out on the localization like Yakuza 4!

That said I'll lovingly take the latter over the former if it comes down to it!

 

[webkatt]

NPD 500 copies sold!

 

[Hasney]

So what's this series like? It has some hardcore fans here.

Shenmue with the Yakuza. it's glorious and a great fighting engine with brilliant characters and a well told story.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

This is my megaton <3

 

[JoJoSono]

Digital only though?

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm so happy right now I could cry.

 

[vpance]

FINALLY. I think I was the loudest one clapping. Which was easy because there was hardly any applause. :*(

Nah we heard you, lol. It was loud

 

[Arzehn]

YESSSSS.
Can't believe it, this gives me hope for Yakuza Zero as well.

Doesn't even matter what they show now, PSX was a success for me.

 

[8bit]

Smashes OP with bike!

[DJIzana]

I have played/seen everything the Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza) franchise has to offer. Yakuza 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Shinshou, Shinshou 2, Kenzan, Ishin, seen the movie, seen both drama's.... I am extremely happy I can play this in English now. FINALLY. GIVES HOPE FOR YAKUZA 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hasney]

Digital only though?

IV only. Straight into them veins.

 

[Coxy]

This is so awesome, I'm incredibly happy about this. I was feeling incredibly cynical about them saying they were listening to fans too

Guess I'm buying a PS4 and another 300+ games

 

[DualEdge]

Thank you Sega and Sony!
You've got my money on day one guaranteed! I don't even care if it is digital only.

 

[Reule]

I seriously teared up. I cannot fucking wait to play.

[TronLight]

[Past]

Seems like it's digital only.

Yakuza 5 will be available exclusive to PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network in 2015. Please stay tuned for more information on Yakuza 5!

[Goro Majima]

This is the greatest conference ever!

Sony delivers!

 

[RoryDropkick]

I don't care that it's going to be digital only, we are getting it for god's sake. Don't let that be a deterrent.


Tizoc beat me to it *lol*

 

[Tizoc]

I don't care if it is digital only, I always said to myself, if it was Digital only that it will deserve the space it takes on my PS3.
Now the waiting game begins.

hahaha m'man i literally had a friend/local gaffer call me and i think he might've been beating off, that's how we livin

I'M A SLIGHTLY LESS HAPPY MAN.

 

[Nowhere Man]

It had really better not be digital only. I refuse to buy DD games on consoles, especially anything over $15.

Spoiler

I'll buy it anyway, but I'll still be angry about it.

 

[djtiesto]

I need to get into this series... really happy for the fans that this is finally gonna be localized.

 

[yami4ct]

Seems like it's digital only.


http://blogs.sega.com/2014/12/06/sega-sony-partner-to-launch-yakuza-5-in-the-west/

If that's the only way we can get it out here, I don't care. I'll take it, just keep giving me Yakuza games.

 

[lum0s]

Glad they could be bothered to finally continue to offer us localization of one of the few decent IPs they still have left. Just take Sonic off life support and give us more of this kind of stuff.

 

[jj984jj]

This news makes me so happy!

 

[Hasney]

I don't care that it's going to be digital only, we are getting it for god's sake. Don't let that be a deterrent.

Damn right. It could be delivered via the medium of a camels arse and I would still buy it.

 

[checkeredknight]

Hot damn. I'm still playing through 2 on PS2. Literally, I turned it off to watch this conference. Could not be happier right now.

 

[The12thGripper]

http://blogs.sega.com/2014/12/06/sega-sony-partner-to-launch-yakuza-5-in-the-west/

damn potential sale lost from me.

Spoiler

[Magnetic_North]
