I honestly didn't see it coming this year. That's 4 Yakuza games in two years. There's actually some hope for Hokuto ga Gotoku!

GOD drat. Also here is the song for Majima's "Totally Legitimate And Not A Fighting Clan Posing As A" Construction Company, in light of Kiwami 2 making it stateside.

Yeah, they had 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, and kiwami. No 5 for obvious reasons and no Dead Souls probably cause no one likes that one except me, sadly. 1 and 2 were only 20 bucks each brand new.

They also let you preorder Yakuza 6 at the store and they would've given you the art book right then and there. A lot of people get their art book signed by the two special guests. If I hadn't already preordered my copy from Amazon, I would've done so today at the store.

Fuuuuuck, dude. But to be fair, I don't have a PS3 to enjoy 1-4 and Dead Souls.

Guess I'll just figure out some other way to play 3 and 4 then.

I was going to play Kiwami 1 now leading up to the release of 6. Now I don't know if I should just play Kiwami 1 after 6 and then go to 2.

Yakuza 1 and Yakuza 2 are PS2 games and would only work on early model backwards compatible PS3s. They reprinted Y1 and Y2 around when they announced Y6, it is not surprising that they had games there for sale, though that is a great price.

Even just the demo is better than PS4 Shadow of the Colossus.



Doesn't Sega own Atlus now? It'd be cool if Sega proper isn't interested if Atlus or some other publisher can bring the Hokuto no Ken game over here. Going by the demo the story won't need a particularly amazing translation or anything to get across the nuanced themes of some assholes are being assholes so Kenshiro kills the gently caress out of them.

Kiwami 1 is a good game but it will be a huge disappointment if you play it after 6 and especially Kiwami 2.

Friendly reminder that Yakuza 0 is still absolutely fantastic, and the gameplay/story retooling in Kiwami makes it feel more like a sequel to 0 than a remake of 1.

Yes. I played 0 at launch. But took a break after finishing it. I’ll start Kiwami today and try to finish the main game before 6 drops. I remember the first game being short.

I honestly don't think we'll ever get Kiwamis of 3 through 5. They're still pretty recent and it would probably be cheaper just to HD remaster them for PS4 than to do a full remake, but hey who knows how long New Yakuza staring Cosmo Kramer is gonna take to arrive so maybe they'll do it just to fill time.

I bought a PS3 just to play 3-5, I’m the bad person who only played through 3 before playing 0 years and years later. I hope they get 3-5 on PS4 somehow that doesn’t involve streaming via Now, but I think they hold up without the Kiwami treatment.

Dual Shockers held an interview with Team Yakuza's Daisuke Sato at the Yakuza 6 event in California, and they got some interesting information out of him!
  • Team Yakuza has considered (but cannot confirm or deny they're doing anything with) the idea of making a Yakuza 0-2
  • New Yakuza takes place in the same timeline as regular Yakuza.
  • It occurs after Yakuza 6, and expect "plenty of opportunities" for returning characters.
  • Ichiban Kasuga is a lowest of the low level Yakuza grunt, compared to the beloved nature of Kiryu Kazuma
  • If Bamco's Katsuhiro Harada wants Kiryu for Tekken 7, they'll "think about it."

Sorry if I'm crapping up the thread but I wanted to share some of the stuff I got from the Yakuza event. Also, sorry for the bad pictures.

First off, this amazing free magnet they gave to everyone.



The pack of tissues were free. The little pin were limited to the first 200 people who bought something.



Some awesome artwork were for sale.





There were two others but they were really pricey.




Really glad to get my own copies of Yak 1 and 2. It was awesome meeting the producer and tattoo artist!

This is probably a dumb question but I couldn't find a good answer from google. Is Yakuza 6 supposed to have black borders all around? My PS4 pro is hooked up to a 1080p monitor.

edit: nevermind, had to change something called Display Area Settings. Never had to mess with that before for any other game. I wonder why I had to deal with it this time?
