Yakuza mastermind Toshihiro Nagoshi discusses Yakuza 6, the future of the series, and his thoughts on the recent resurgence of Japanese games in the West.
Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, has said that the studio plans to remain a small independent game developer.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
The Dragon's Dogma 2 game director has explained why there is no online co-op and why it was never explored as possibility.
fine with me, I play these kinda rpg's solo anyway. With co-op I always feel like I'm on a timer and can't explore everything I want to and take my time because I don't wanna make the other person wait.
The first game wasn’t co-op. Fans of the first game weren’t asking for co-op. You have pawns to make up your party so you can have full control playing solo.
Having at least one human buddy to join your game as your pawn would be dope, but I'm not complaining.
Yakuza is the best series of games, the stories are always over the top awesome, and the amount of content in each game is outstanding. It's a real shame more people don't take the time to get into these games as almost everyone who makes the jump realizes how good they are and becomes a fan of the series.
The Yakuza series as a whole has been one of the best. While it has taken 7 games(Yakuza 1 to 5, a Zombie spin-off, and Yakuza 0) for it to really get recognized in the West for how good it is, with Yakuza Kiwami (this August) and Yakuza 6 next year, the best is yet to come. Yakuza 0 released this January is a prequel story to the whole series and a chance for gamers who have never played the series before to get on board. Yakuza 0 has been a real success and the game looks the best it ever has and all of the usual ancillary activities and mini-games add to the fun. With Kiwami we essentially get the first Yakuza being redone and updated in various ways.
Yakuza 6 will end Kazuma Kiryu's story and the next one after that will start a new chapter so make the most of 0, Kiwami and 6 over the next few months. Money well spent.
