Tigers in Y2 , lion in Y3 if my memory is right.

I don't remember any lions in Yakuza 3, but you do get some QTE's against bulls close to the end of the game.

Yo SEGA/Sony what up? Perhaps a translated screenshot or something lol.

Spoiler

also reading the first 3 pages of this thread is beautiful ;_;

 

[Remark]

Wait is this out or nah

 

[doctorcdcs]

Wait is this out or nah

nah yet

 

[Wonko_C]

Yeah, any word on a release date at least?

 

[Hasney]

I reckon a date will be casually revealed at E3 during Adam Boyes moment.

 

[Labadal]

Wait is this out or nah

You won't even know when it's out. It'll be released without anyone knowing.

 

[Data West]

Looks like the marketing 'cycle' is beginning.

LOOK WHAT I JUST SAW AT WORK. LEGITIMATELY MARKED OUT HARDER FOR THIS THAN I DID THE TYPE 0 TRAILER MONTHS AGO.

Since they haven't spoken about it for a while I was hoping they were working with Sega on a PS4 up-port, but I see only PS3 listed there . Doesn't really matter, still buying this day 1 regardless of platform.

Man, please let this be on PSNow. I already got rid of my PS3 :-(

 

[Tizoc]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Imagine if during E3 they announce the game becomes available for download lol.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Glad they're advertising it. Hopefully we get a date soon.

I have a question. Why is retro city rampage having physical releases while y5 does not???

Is there no chance that anyone out there is willing to produce this game as a disc with a manual and ship it out???

I would pay 60dollars/euros for this.

Retro city rampage is an indie game and they were able to pull this off for ps4 and vita.

 

[HyperZone<3]

maybe it will. Heck, its likely to be what, like 20-30 Gigs? I'll buy it, even if I don't immediately have space to play it on my system with, but I'll buy it.

But there is perhaps money on the table for a physical edition. Maybe a limited print, gussied up kind of thing (like Drakengard 3/JoJo got), but I'd bet people (like me) would pay a premium for it.

It's been explained in this thread and in others, that the Yakuza series aren't as big sellers outside Japan as inside Japan.

Far as RCR is concerned, they're an indie dev that can cover the cost of the retail production, but for this game, having retail bluray discs for it would be an excessive cost that'd affect the ROI.

Yeah, I would be happy with a physical copy. I own and collect every game in the series...
I will buy digital anyway to support the series.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

i was just thinking today that this localization seems dead, glad to see i'm wrong!

 

[Alcoholikaust]

this bump has me super excited.

 

[E_Darkness]

I was starting to wonder where this went. Hope this means it is coming soon.

I don't know, maybe a limited print run with goodies to satisfy collectors could be feasible

I think they said June(?) when it was announced


Is there a price point for this?

 

[Tizoc]

I'd be fine with that actually.

I like it how Retailers showing ads for Digital Only games... or does this mean there is a chance for a retail version? Would explain why they needed so long.

Sony is sqeezing blood from a stone with this localization, satisfying collectors is probably not much of a priority.

still got a sour taste in my mouth from Yakuza 4 but I'll jump on this.

add to the fact that Yakuza 5 has a lot of content they need to translate/localize possibly even edit or cut

Spoiler

(there is a Haruka mission I don't see making it to the West, simply because Japanese humor)

, I imagine none of this is cheap.

It's a demo unit. It's there to sell the system not the games. Retailers have zero input on what goes on their demo reel beyond what gets sent to them.

It's close! I wonder if Sony pump this out prior to E3, and then reference the game during the conference before leading in to another Sega product for their BuildingTheList announcement. :3

There could have been a not so harsh way to destroy my dream.

However it comes here, im going to buy it.

Nagoshi thigh gap

 

[SolidSnakex]

Does this mean what I think it does?

It's a wrestling term that's intended to mean that something happens that excites you so greatly that you forget that it's staged. But it's now used by many as just a term to describe that you're are extremely happy to see something.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I always mark out when i see Nagoshi

 

[SephLuis]

Am I the only only hoping that we get a release date at E3 along with Yakuza 0 announcement ?

 

[Hibiki Rush]

still got a sour taste in my mouth from Yakuza 4 but I'll jump on this.

Why?

 

[Stealthcobra]

How does yakuza 4 compare to yakuza 5?

 

[Riposte]

Why?

Here we go...

 

[Yuterald]

Why?

I recall that guy having a big issue with Yakuza 4, like equating the game/narrative to something that happens to TV dramas/shows that go on for far too many seasons. Plot holes, inconsistencies, etc. I think I understand where he was coming from, but at the same time, I don't! lol

Ah. I thought that was kind of how the storylines of the games go, or at least 3 and 4 were more like that which I was completely okay with. I played through all of the localized ones and the only one I was iffy on was Dead Souls. Otherwise I enjoyed all of them.

Hoping it builds into Yakuza 0.

need. now.

That would be nice. I did have something different in mind though.

 

[Tizoc]

Well...Sony do need a games released during the winter periond on the PS4 and Yakuza 0rigins could fit the bill

Shenmue?
