Since Kiryu and Majima never really meet in this game, do we know if there are still any rad team up heat actions and stuff?

I just remembered that part in 5 where Shinada and the Ace Pitcher he hit the homerun off of team up to beat up like a hundred dudes, and how hard it ruled.

Remember who used to be Kiryu's good time buddy?

Did we talk about how SEGA is apparently going to reprint more copies of OG Yakuza 1,2,3 and 4? Because that seems kind of wild!

Grab it here on Amazon even!

I'm so glad Yakuza seems to be picking up in the west more. Hoping Kiwami continues to do justice for the series here.

It's so good and so many people should play it.

I already paid full price for 4 twice (physical then digital), I really wish they'd put 3 up as a digital copy or on PS Now. Seems like a no-brainer right now.

I'd rather they just Kiwami the whole past 1-5 games into one updated collection. Make loading it up have a special little transition from Kiryu sitting down like he's going to watch a movie.

I gave 2 and Fist of the North Yakuza 4s and the F2P trash a 3. I have a horrible feeling the F2P is the devil's bargain of Yakuza anything on PC if its even minorly succeeded, so I'm willing to tolerate its existence if it lets Kiwami and 0 migrate to steam one day. Ain't touching it myself, but it'd probably be better than most other F2P garbage that likely won't last too long because it isn't Overwatch or whatever is the current king of online crap.

Oh, I didn't actually care, I just wanted to make a dumb joke

I mean I read it and this guy sounds exactly like they recreated Kiryu, just that he was having his 0 moment back in the early 2000s. Until I have positive confirmation that this won't involve loot crates and other freemium nickel and diming, its a valid joke or legit position to make because Yakuza should be better than that. But I do want Kiwami and Fist of the Yakuza Star on PC too and that might involve Yakuza MMO doing okay.

Check out the first look of Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise's English version here! They even localized the funny deal where you can grab the words the enemies shout and use them as weapons!

Oh no...

You - I'm not sure how I feel about them trying an English Localization, particularly when Kiryu is voicing Kenshiro. Its been too long to try to do over or mulligan how badly people reacted to the original localized Yakuza, but it is and isn't the same Yakuza.

...Have they released who is voicing who in the English dub? Is there any hope that its a nod to any of the Fist of the North Star dubs or at least a Jotaro as Ken?

EDIT: My eyes must have rolled over the dual localization. Still curious about the English cast and excited and perplexed that they're trying that again with Yakuza. Also the fact that they're doing all of this and making an off Yakuza game have dubs and subs has me very nervous about how bold SEGA is getting. I hope this game is worthy enough to give them some success, because I don't want them to doubt the franchise again after betting this much and expecting a billion copies sold.

Japanese Youtuber translating the Judge Eyes demo into English as best he can. Jesus gently caress, it is insane that that the Yakuza devs basically made this game in secret and are releasing it 3 months from now. Its reused assets, but poo poo, this looks like actual polish and feeling went into them. Probably while they were also working on Kiwamis and Fist of the North Star!

Or they went the route of Dead Rising and let you craft zombie Apocalypse versions of Kiryu's regular arsenal along with gunplay. The Zombie sections of 0 and Kiwami 1 proved that it could work if fleshed out more.

My hate for Dead Souls dissipated when granter of dreams revived the Yakuza franchise for the west, so I'm willing to give their weird experiments or side stuff more shots so long as they keep making Yakuza style games. A bad game with effort can be charming.

I thought the plot of Dead Souls was amazing. It had Chiaki Kuriyama, brought back Ryuji, had great karoke and was the only time we could ever possibly play as Majima.

Well. So we thought at the time.

The remake of Dead Souls should have Majima have a 24 hour Cinderella concert in the middle of a zombie horde and kill them as he sings to save a moving refugee convoy as a big flashy distraction.

It brings me endless joy to think of Majima's poor VA doing that and 24Hr Cinderella, and it's tragic that he doesn't have more Mad Dog songs

Look, as long as his backup dancers are Kiryu, Ryouma, Tiga, an undead and good Nikishi, time displaced Hiroki Awano, Daisaku Kuze and past incarnations of Majima, Kiryu and Nishki all firing guns and smashing heads with heat actions; where good button presses between the Karaoke Battle results in more sonic booms that pop zombos or missiles firing indiscriminately into the city to blow up the hordes, I'm good with any song they make Majima sing.
