"Sir what should we do?"
"Just recycle the same assets like we always do. Time for our 800th game in Kamurocho!!!"
"But sir, we are a new studio, we don't have any existing assets to recycle"

Well, this was the only game by NetEase that I kept an eye on. Nothing else they have done and have announced so far seems interesting.
 
Maybe Sega will take him back, not like Yakuza has been doing great without him.

I still find it funny he left his job making Yakuza games to start a new studio so he can make Yakuza games.

He didn't "left his job", he was kicked in the ass and fired by Sega because he used the company money with no permission to go to dinner (and after-dinner) with other other companies' big shots without telling anyone what the hell he was doing.

He got all the way to the top of Sega's gaming division (he's the reason Sega only made Yakuzas for years) and thought he could get away with anything. And now he has nothing
 
I wonder if he joined forces with Yu Suzuki at Ys Net, would the outcome be the best Shenmue or the absolute worst Shenmue?

Because new, turn based Yakuza games are utter shit.

This game looked very promising and I was really looking forward to see what might come out of it.
 
Every time I see new related to this company I briefly panic and think stranger than heaven has been cancelled…then I remember and relax.

He also got into trouble after offending an puyo puyo player.

They are still making mostly yakuzas, difference that even yakuzas become garbage
 
Bad news. Later Yakuza games are imo not near as good as the older ones, and with Judgment nowhere to be seen I was hoping for this dude to deliver a tonally serious Yakuza-like game.

Not even the worse thing he did
