There's no comparison. I've only completed the first Yakuza and played bits of the second one, but I didn't enjoy them anywhere near as much as I enjoyed Shenmue II. I guess things have changed in the last decade, but it's a totally different style of game.

we are up to yakuza 6 (which is the 10th yakuza). the first 2 were pretty different to how 3 on ended up feeling.
yakuza 6 looks like it'll capture some of that small town sunny day feel too.

People say that but Yakuza only covers a very narrow slice of what Shenmue fans truly enjoy, which is doing mundane labor for minimum wage and rifling through people's belongings.

Gone Home is the closest to a Shenmue equivalent I've played yet. I just love looking through people's stuff in games!

Shenmue 1&2 getting a rerelease really needs to be A Thing sooner rather than later if they want any chance of decent sales out of Shenmue 3. The place Shenmue 2 stops does not make for a good entry point for new players, nevermind the fact that you'd need a Dreamcast and potentially an Xbox to play them (if you're in the US).

they could play the 3 intro like "a young man on a quest for revenge finds a magical sword to take on his fathers killers"

Sorry, guy.

Update. I popped the top. There was MINIMAL dust on the blades. Like, a barely perceptible dusting of white on the edge. I doubt this was the culprit, but good to know.

For whatever reason Injustice 2 really works my PS4 fans hard, even though I just airblasted it last week.

I'd be surprised if shenmue 3 sold well, tho I doubt sony particularly cares about that. it was more a goodwill gesture to get people to like them

I have zero interest in it personally but it's cool it finally is getting made

You're right that Sony won't care, because they have no stake in Shenmue 3.

That was my experience, too. Only a small amount of dust on the blades, but apparently that did the trick because it's been quiet ever since and I've been playing the gently caress outta Tekken 7 and FFXIV.

Ometeotl posted:

Sony gave them an undisclosed sum of money for its early development IIRC. Their Third Party Productions team is also providing support. Shenmue 3 isn't a make or break game for Sony by any means, but they have definitely been involved.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Sony Third Party Production almost explicitly exists to tailor to their loudest hardcore fans. The Yakuza games, Vita JRPGs, Shenmue 3, indie games getting major PSN releases, they handle a lot of that stuff.

If it doesn't feature a sponsored Nerf child weapon it's not a true Bubsy game.

So WipEout: Omega Collection looks really nice.

In terms of gameplay are there any tips worth giving beyond "Hold down the accelerator and don't hit the walls"

Treat turning + airbrakes sort of like skiing - there's a rhythm and a lot of leaning in/away from turns.

If you really want to get a feel of how the ships control, dump time into the Zone mode when you get access to it.

That and its just loving bonkers awesome where you just get faster and faster and everything is a music visualizer.

I am terrible at driving with real cars, let alone hyper-charged hover cars -- so I use the airbrake on the direction I'm turning into, correct? So if I'm curving left I should tap L2
