Yakuza Ishin PS4 1080p Launch Trailer

can i use a Japanese account on my ps4 like on ps3? im on the USA

Yes. Although it seems like you have to play it on that Japanese account instead of switching over to your US account. It tells me that it can only be played by the account that downloaded it when I try to play it on my US account. And restoring the license didn't remove the lock.

You have to set it as your primary system in the PSN section of the settings

Yea definitely; I'm not familiar with the pricing of the JPN store all that much, but I suppose if I imported it'd still be more. However, I will end up having to buy 10,000 YEN digital code which is $60 more than I want to spend.

Will the price lower at any point on the store? Is there a chance for that?
The avarage retail price of this game is about 6500yen. The price on the ps store is rediculous.
 
It would probably be more worth it to find the PS3 version used and then pay the 1000 yen upgrade fee.
 
That karaoke is hard! I don't know if there's lag or if I just suck :lol

Bf had fun with the udon game. But now he's just running around bumping into thugs.
 
Yeah the karaoke in this game can be tricky when you're watching the brush stroke going over the notes, just needs getting use to.
 
So with the Yakuza Isshin demo on PS4, we get first playable glimpse at how Japanese cross-gen looks/feels. Basically, outside the cutscenes (which look really identical since they're 30fps and the cutscenes were usually pre-rendered in the PS3 games anyhow), the game looks and feels really nice at 1080p/60fps. It has a sharp crisp look and feels super smooth without ever dropping a frame. If they start using some AA (jaggies aren't bad, especially compared to sub-720p PS3 Yakuza games; pretty minor but still there) it'd look like how I always wanted PS3 Japanese games to look.

So yeah, it's basically PS3 emulator'd edition; Japanese PS3 quality gaming without the IQ defects and better framerate. It's not enough to really convince anyone who wasn't getting a game to jump and get it on PS4, but if it's a PS3 game you'd want to get anyhow, it's definitely a nice improvement.

Right now there's just Yakuza Isshin, Dynasty Warriors 8XL and Guilty Gear X3rd announced for cross-gens. Fingers crossed that Tales of Zestria gets a PS4 port along with the eventual Gundam v Gundam Extreme Versus Maxi Boost. P5 is probably a lost cause since Atlus is too small and can just re-release it on PS4 a year later at full price with some additions as a director's cut.
 
Some impressions. You can run into dogs! Defeated groups drop one or several items on the ground which you have to manually pick up. You can now sprint with the X button but Ryoma eventually tires out and stops to get his breath back.

When characters are in shade they cast highly diffused shadows on the ground and it looks like theres some sort of ambient occlusion. Hard edged shadows aren't as well filtered as they were in the PS3 games and there's still some aggressive cascade splits, disappearing completely at a closer distance than they really should. Still aggressive LoD changes too.

Depth of field is always in effect during play, very far in the distance on some tall buildings peeking out over the rest and anything that gets right up close to the camera.

If you glance to and from the sun the light exposure self-adjusts.

Gameplay's been a consistent 60fps so far. Cutscenes are capped to 30 with a hint of judder. Don't think any have been pre-rendered which is nice. Focal depth is brought in for cutscenes, the DoF helping smooth things closer up but causing extra shimmer between the bloomy sky and buildings.

The calm river water shader looks a bit better than I remember from any of the previous games.

The gameplay framerate and resolution are a massive breath of fresh air from the PS3 games. Sprinting is nice too.
 
New to this games? The pedestrians always fade in/out in front of you.

I played through the series a while ago, and currently playing through 1 HD again in a whole series playthrough, although I don't remember it happening, maybe because it was on PS3 and I was more expectant of it where as I don't see any reason for it on PS4
 
Mine just arrived a little while ago. The sake jug and cup is fantastic.

Nice! Mine shipped this morning. Haven't played a RGG game since Kenzan though I picked up 3/4/5/Of the Dead and never got to them (gave up on 3 a bit in because I was really burnt out by 1/2/Kenzan year after year). Looking forward to playing a RGG game again after a nice break from the series.

Any chance you want to make an |OT|?
 
I think not localizing it would be borderline crazy. There's a hungry PS4 audience waiting for games. This is a game. It should be brought out here.

Im too lazy to go translating a bunch of the text and do up graphics at the moment. lol

If you wan to make one feel free man! If I did one it would be some MS paint hackjob currently with how tired I am. Nothing like the semi effort put into the GE2 OT lol.

yeah, it's partly a reason I think P4 Golden has sold so amazingly well.

-Vita lacks games.
-Vita owners want games
-Vita owners search for games
-Vita owners come across P4 Golden

Best to get it out ASAP whilst the library is still so small.
 
Hahaha, the Vita app (using VitaTV) looks like shit now! It looked so much better two days ago :lol
 
The lightbar flashes when a new map target's added (probably more but not paying attention) and you can switch between a more stylised or modern font! The touchpad opens the map screen which you can pinch to zoom (analog zooming in Yakuza at last!) and swipe around. I found the panning sensitivity a little low and there's no momentum on swipes like you come to expect from mapping apps.

I have the system notifications for video recording blocking turned on and this is the first game I've played to block cutscenes.

Probably why we're seeing such a flood of niche Vita localizations, too. In a few short months it's surpassed the 3DS in terms of noteworthy (niche) upcoming titles.
 
... I hate Sega right now TT

As mentioned before I still think this has the best chance of coming out to the west now. Plus explains why the team did not have the resources to work on 5 as they were in mad crunch time to make the PS4 launch.

Wait, you bought both versions? lol

Couldnt get the sake jug / cup set any other way. So figured better have both versions that 2 of something else. Also am curious to see what extras the PS3 version gets from previous game save data. Since the PS4 does not have that option.
 
Lightbar also flashes red when enemies see you and start chasing you. It's a nice touch.
It looks really clean, and 60fps are very welcome.
The message saying you're entering/leaving a scene that doesn't allow recording is annoying, though. Is the full game like that as well?


God dammit Sega, keep the franchise alive outside Japan.
 
I was gonna make the OT but I figured Irishninja would have before me but sure go ahead and make one if you want to.

I sure as hell aint gonna do it lol. So one of you guys who actually wants to take the time out to translate and do whatever else go right ahead. Figured that someone here has the resources ready to go on hand.

The game I wanted to do an OT for went into release limbo thanks to Cyber Connect going tits up. My poor Operation Abyss. D:

You can turn the system recording messages off in the share menu settings I think.
