Are Yakuza games mostly cobbled together assets from previous games? I'm just trying to figure out how they put out like 5 of them a year.

Basically, yeah, until 6 which has a new engine. The mini games have been designed and refined over the course of years, so it’s easy to use them across multiple games. Because 6 is on a new engine there are not as many mini games, but Kiwami 2 will have them because the devs have had more time.

Edit: also the usual pace is one Yakuza game every 18-24 months

We got some serious shit to discuss.


Exactly, they just take 3-4 years after the Japanese release to even think about translating them for the West, and suddenly Sega decided to do it and now we're getting like 8 years' worth of Yakuza titles released in the space of a year over here.

Anybody got some specific experience with improving their performance for remote play to the PC/OSX app? I've tried setting things up for port forwarding to the various ports Sony laid out, but I'm only getting middling results.

PS4 is connected by ethernet, etc.

Make sure to go into the Preferences for the application and set the streaming to higher quality/frame rate, wired is better than wireless on both ends for latency reasons, and manually connecting the console instead of letting it scan sometimes helps too. It’s finicky though, no doubt.

Whiskey.

I messaged my brother last night because I saw him playing and he said:

"I've been coming home from work and drinking scotch for dinner and playing. Having a blast but sometimes don't know wtf is going on."

Turns out we've been doing the same thing, although I usually only take a few swigs, so I'm keeping up with the story pretty well.

this is the nature of memes. I've never understood why so many people think it's funny to repeat the same joke a billion times, but i figure it's just because i'm old and grumpy.


Finished GoW yesterday. Good game. I don't really consider it an all time classic, mainly due to it not being original enough. It's a technical marvel tough.

It’s kinda funny how much a lot of us dismissed it at first, especially with the whole boi angle. Thinking back to the original posts about concept art over the last few years. I tried the GOW 3 PS4 remaster and turned it off after 10 minutes.

I said gently caress it I’ll just buy it when it’s $30 on sale but all the reviews convinced me and I ended up with the collectors edition which has a loving DOPE statue, let me tell you. The cloth map is cool too. I’m like 12+ hours in and I feel like I barely started

what a game indeed. Thanks 4 reading
