Legendary Yakuza Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi just announced that "super up-to-date" information on Yakuza Ishin will come on the same day of Son Japan's PS4-focused conference.
The former Yakuza director talks life under NetEase, and how he's approaching his next cinematic franchise
The reality is that Nagoshi-san was a Sega lifer and can be sold whatever dream by a publisher/investor, because he does not have the sense of what is real and what to believe. After being 30 years outside the talent and publisher market in one company, he clearly is out of touch of the market realities. This will not end well, and if it does, it will be a miracle.
If he pulls it off and gets a good game done from scratch without the infra nor talent and the Netease Execs won't push him to deliver sooner a worse title to recoup their investment, then hats off to him. The evidence shows though, that this is a failed transition. Hopefully I'm proven wrong!
I didn't know he left the RGG studios. Makes sense why the Ishin remake was crap and like a dragon diverted away from traditional combat.
From VGC: "Developers from the Final Fantasy, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter and Judgment series are working on the first game from Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi‘s new studio, it’s been revealed.
Nagoshi officially announced the creation of his new development studio, Nagoshi Studio, back in Janaury.
The studio, which is a “wholly owned subsidiary” of Chinese company NetEase Games, has already started work on its first game, which will be a “high-end title for worldwide release”."
Toshihiro's Nagoshi Studio has planned to only take on one game for the meantime in order to not have any problems in development.
sounds like they want to do it right when it comes to development, hopefully they don't have much crunch time. Hopefully whatever they're working on is in a genre I like so I can support them.
so another exlusive for the PS4? ^_^
very nice indeed ^_^
Woohoooo. ps4TW
Seriously hope Sony has some surprises for everyone. I mean they are live streaming and subbing the event, so there must be something of intrest for us right? Shenmue 3 and TLG for worldwide meltdown.
This keeps getting better & better
I love the variety on the ps4 so far.
