Looks like the team behind the Yakuza series is already at work on a new game, as Producer Masayoshi Yokoyama and Director Daisuke Sato told the Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation in an interview published on the latest issue.
An interview with RGG Studio Director Masayoshi Yokoyama about the upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and the recently released Like a Dragon Gaiden about sales, Game Pass and more.
Thank you for Gaiden. A great and short Swan Song for the series for sure, but I think it's finally time to move on from this once great series. As sad as it is to see it turned into the inferior gameplay of Turd Based Kombat in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator, it was still one helluva ride while it lasted. And while there was still so much it could've done, it is what it is. C'est la vie and all that jazz.
So unless the series gets back to greatness, there's another Judgement or Fist of the North Star sequel, KENZAN!!!! or any other type of game that harkens back to the good ol' gameplay, I'm out.
Enjoy mediocrity, mids. And as Captain Rhodes once said: "Choke on 'Em!"
I agree, roundhouse kicking dudes into a Smile Burger full of people never gets old. Turn based is cool too though, let’s relax!
I will enjoy mediocrity, if mediocrity is most likely the best 'yakuza' game that's existed in Jan 😂
@neutral I mean Like a Dragon got glowing reviews and this one seems like it's stepping it up in every way. If it's a failure I'll hold my hands up. Can't see it through
simple
please chill. We will continue to get proper yakuza style games. No need to be mad or hateful
neutral
please chill. Stop the odious N4G tradition of being redundant. No need to repeat what I already stated.
lol dude here thought button mashing is peak greatness
besides when you use kiryu in infinite wealth the gameplay changed to old style brawl anyway
I know right. Love the Yakuza series but it does get mindless button mashing at times. They changed it up and it worked amazingly well. And you can still play a version of the old combat in the new game with Kiryu. Best of both worlds.
lol dude here think having the game stop so you can catch up is peak greatness
besides there are plenty of other games more your speed. Not every game needs to cater to the slowest common denominator anyway
apparently you can't read either, did you see me whorshipping turn-based combat anywhere in my comment? 😂
I've played all mainline Yakuza on the hardest difficulty, doesn't mean I have to turn a blind eye to the boring ass combat
at least they made the boss fights cool
Isn't really about catching up or not being good enough for fast paced battles though is it. I've platinumed Y0 which requires the hardest difficulty and the brutal climax battles and I still appreciate a turn based mode. You do play up to your name at times, Simple.
Simpleslave has to be a child, every reply they just copy what the person said, its pretty embarrassing.
Sucks to be you.
This game looks amazing and all Yakuza games are so much more than just their combat.
I personally love the turn-based combat. Can’t wait for this game!
The LaD and Yakuza games almost always deserve full price purchases. RGG respects our time and money with their quality releases.
I rarely pre-order games, Like a Dragon is always a pre-order for me. Need to support my boys.
...it would take about 3-4 days without sleep. That means no sleep, no detours, and almost no side stories, so please enjoy the game bit by bit, without losing any sleep. 100%
Head of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Masayoshi Yokoyama talks about the future of the Like a Dragon series, formerly known as Yakuza.
In a round table interview with Masayoshi Yokoyama, the Like A Dragon producer talked about his thoughts on DLC and taking the series to other genres.
Like A Dragon franchise with a online or multiplayer aspect that relates to main game would be great so long as they don't compromise the integrity of the actual game in order to do so.
C’mon guys, Why would you want to ruin a good thing? I can guarantee you that you’ll lose a chunk of your fan base. Also, look at Square Enix with Avengers and Babylon’s Fall… just why?
Still waiting... for Yakuza 5...
These guys should be handed the Shenmue license, that would make my millennium.
I can't wait to see what's cooking.
Please release Yakuza 5 and Ishin out west.
Damn! At this rate english speakers will never got Yakuza 5 and Ishin :(
