after hearing about Sony footing the bill for some of these games coming over here, im gonna take a chance for the Yakuza games and get part 5 so theres a better chance Sony will bring this one here too.


i like beat em up types games, and yakuza seems to have gameplay like that, good fit for me?

The game is a story heavy JRPG using beat em up type combat sysytem. If you take the game as a beat em up, you might be disappointed.

If you have a PS3, try Yakuza 3 first. I think 5 is not a good entry.

I liked the bit where he looked like he was giving an easy to understand physics lesson about light reflection using his hands and then

there's a dramatic repetition of 'screen space local reflection.'
 
Are there any retailers with a reasonable price on the DX version? I kinda want that flask from the Sega Store pre-order, but not at the prices Play-Asia is asking compared to the regular version.

I liked that they gave the styles distinctive attributes, eg: rush style emphasis on speed and combos while not hard-hitting, while power mode is just that, power without speed.

A few things I really wish for future games is that they allow you to cancel animations, because since the beginning of the series(not couting Kurohyo 1 &2), you always had to wait for an animation to finish before you can move, which is bothersome when you're stuck doing something and you get hit. For example you should be able to taunt, build heat and dodge out of it if any attacks are coming your way, another is weapon animations like the nunchaku, where at the end of your attack cycle you do a Bruce Lee type pose that you have to wait to finish before you can move, also coming out of heat actions can leave you vulnerable for a brief few seconds.

Also enemy tracking need to be reworked a bit in that, enemies can attack and track your movement even when you dodge or clearly move out of the way, another thing is where if an enemy tried to hit you and you dodged out of the way but the enemy hit an object instead, that object would then track and hit you which I always thought was funny.
 
I like how Kiryu has to answer the phone all dramatic(gonna start doing that myself), then chat up girls while choosing the right responses to get them to go on a date seems pretty elaborate and fun.

The cat battles seems easy to understand since its in a rock-paper-scissors system and looks better than the Saejima's fighter trainer battles from Y4 though it might go more in depth maybe.

Also I like how the video quality on those girl videos are so high for 1988, haha.
 
Here's a new video

This one is all about the money "金" or Kane aspect, detailing how money rather than exp(if you didn't know by now) is used to gain abilities and lvl you up, also how Kiryu is using cash to buy up sections of Kamurocho to gain influence over the "Kamurocho 5" a group of billionaires who, run things. Also included is how the cabaret system has evolved for Zero, becoming more in-depth with a new signal system that allows you to pick the right responses and literally charm the cash outta customers and make it rain in the club.

The next video showcases new and familiar characters from the series as they appear in Zero.


I'd put the Kiryu and Majima bucks in a frame hehe.

"Kono kane de...dou da?!" - Kiryu, man of words :)

So, Kiryu gets money by buying and extorting local business in Kamurocho and Majima by running his hostess club? Kind of a shame you can't buy sections of Soutenburi too.

I am loving all these deep minigames they are adding :)
 
I liked how I guessed right on that one character looking pretty familiar to me and I was right about it being him as a kid since he has the same look in his eyes as an adult.

Glad to see other familiar faces from the past.


So in the next video would be about crossplay with the vita and unlocking stuff through it, including Super Monkey Ball, wonder what other games you would be able to get?
 
I know what game I have on my top spot for #list.

Really hope this sells better on PS4 so Sega at least entertains the idea of going current gen only for Y6.

You would have to first hope for the PS4 to really take off in Japan. And even if it did, I don't think the sales ceiling of this franchise makes creating a "next-gen" budgeted game viable. It's really too bad the series isn't popular anywhere else in the world.
 
That latest look at the gameplay has me more hyped. I'm so glad they are taking this opportunity to bring back certain characters, I'm now more hyped for Kiryu's section (Majima's always looked awesome). Can't wait to import this one as soon as March rolls around...

Well 1080/60 ensures I will certainly never pick up the PS3 version, even if I didn't own a PS4.

I went from hype to through the roof after seeing Majima's dancer style.

Ishin pretty much killed my interest for any future PS3 Yakuza's as long as they also get PS4 releases. I'd kill for the previous games to get PS4 (or PC) releases so I could play them all at 1080/60 as it was so damn smooth, especially for the battles.

As for Majima, I was already through the roof as soon as Majima was confirmed as a playable character, his dancer style does look ridiculously cool, I really like how this game seems to be focusing on fights with bigger crowds of enemies (if the snippets of gameplay are anything to go by). Plus going by the recent screenshots he meets up with (semi spoiler for side missions/arena)
Komaki
which explains how they get that particular character in the game without him meeting Kiryu.

True, the battles feel so good with 60fps, I could never go back and playing Yakuza 5 is so hard on PS3 after getting used to Ishin.

I finished Ishin the other day and it was something really special. Its going to be hard to go back to 5 after having the 1080/60 goodness. From everything I've seen in Zero its put my hype into overdrive. I'll probably import it once a good guide gets made.
 
Yeah a lot of people have gotten use to playing on the PS4 and seeing how great the games can be on it, I myself feel the same way a bit but not so much that I'd never play the other games again.

I'm planning to go through Ishin again and while waiting on Zero though too many good games are coming out, so might wait a bit on Zero maybe...maybe.
 
Ok new video posted, talking about the crossplay features and exclusive content you can get between the PS3/4 and the Vita

Like playable Super Monkey Ball, Columns and Beluga(that's kind of an obscure game, along with Columns)

Here

Next video would be about three of the main characters that appear in Kiryu's scenario.
