>Yakuza Kiwami 2 is coming

After Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Yakuza Six come out in the US, would it be viable for Sega to release a Yakuza Triple Pack that includes 3-5 for the PS4?
And PC.
I love Makoto Niijima!
Goro Majima > Goro Akechi
Majima is arguably more famous than Kiryu, to be honest. He's so memorable.
"KIRYUUUUUU-CHAAAAAAAAAN"
>it begins
WE DO IT
How did you get into the Yakuza series?
I played the first one on PS2, then I forgot about it until Yakuza 5 came out on the PS3 and I watched the Super Best Friends video featuring it.
Since then, I've been trying to play through all of em again and I've really been enjoying myself.
I imagine most people will say SBFP.
Why is Kiwami cheaper than 0 at 50% off?
Its true, I think they probably boosted the western popularity. That, and the growing WEEB market.
Could just be availability. Or the fact that Kiwami is a remake. Remakes and HD versions are typically less than full releases.
A friend of mine asked me to get her Yakuza 4 for her since retail price at GameStop is cheaper than Amazon.
I bought it, beat it myself, before mailing it off. I didn't hear any buzz for Yakuza 5, but I dove back in for 0 and Kiwami, as well as pre-ordering the Premium Edition of 6.
Yakuza 5 had an issue or two. Apparently the Haruka chapter killed the game dead for a lot of people.
Yakuza 5 was actually a lot of fun, just because of the sheer amount of different things to do. I even liked hunting and idol dance rhythm game.
I can see why that would turn people off. I'm complete trash at rythmn games. I think the only one I've ever beaten was EBA, and only on Easy difficulty.
It is a little jarring because each character has their like sub-thing.
By the time I got to Shinada, I was feeling a little burned out on the whole thing.
Though I liked taxi driving, hunting, and even idol dancing, the baseball thing was a little much for me.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the Kiryu segment, I even found myself wishing there were more Taxi missions, since the skill ceiling was surprisingly low.
But once I got to Soejima's section and realized I had to go through the whole thing over again with a different flavor I tapped out.
Just got a PS3 and wanted more games for it then i came across 4. I've known about the series just never played them.
Kiwami is a shorter game and not as packed as Zero or the previous games in the series.
I liked Haruka chapter. Was always into rhythm games and dance battles reminded me of Bust a Groove. Also was obviously inspired by Project Diva.
Guess we'll just prod the thread now and then and hope more people realize it exists...
I heard it was literally because it was a rereleast/remaster, so they didn't feel the need to bump up the price.
Wish other companies would do that, instead of charging full price for Ocarina of Time for the fourth time.
I hope some of the unreleased games here get remasters as well.
I remember really wanting to play Ishin cause it was heavily featured on PSO2.
Feel like Kiwami 2 will be full price since it's using the new engine and they are using the likeness of the new cast.
I mean, Hokuto GA Gokuto is seemingly being released worldwide, yes? Looks like 0 and Kiwami may have saved the franchise outside of Japan.
Its even more insane that Sega reprinted Yakuza 1-4 and you can get them for reasonabl-ish prices.
>Ishin is a very large and complicated game from a localization perspective, one. Two, there just has been no where to slot it for release to ensure the game gets the attention and exposure it needs without posing a risk to itself and other franchise titles," responded Mullen
they had an AMA on PS4 sub reddit 2 weeks ago.
Unfortunate, but doesn't sound like hope is completely lost.
You think they'll show off Shin Yakuza at TGS tonight?
I hope so. As much as I love Kiryu and the rest, seeing a new protagonist should be fun.
People compare Akiyama to Spike, New protag reminds me of Akiyama just shadier.
Spike and Akiyama share the same Japanese VA
Spike?
Nice thread Yazukababs
Spike Spiegel
Ohhhh. I see it.
As much as I love Kiryu though, I hope he isn't as big a softie.
I mean, he is REALLY bad at crimes, despite technically being a criminal.
Yet he keeps being thrown in prison.
Not as much as Saejima though.
I feel like if he stopped trying to be a hero and ACTUALLY just did crimes, he wouldn't have ended up in jail as often.
I think Saejima should have just stayed in that village from 5. They liked him there and he enjoyed what he was doing.
sweet a yakuza general
0, like the proper plebeian I am
Its only starting to break into mainstream. Any place to start is a good place.
They said there would be news at TGS. Don't know if they meant conference or on the show floor.
>yakuza general

We need to keep her alive. Us brothers who love the Yakoozeez.
If the thread is dead when I wake up tomorrow, I'll keep posting it until I die.
