Yakuza: Ishin - First PS4 game to disable sharing function

Yakuza: Ishin is the first game to disable ps4's sharing function.
It is impossible to distribute or show on the web the adventures of Ryoma Sakamoto. What is happening now in the? A message appears and indicates "unable to capture the screen." And going to streaming options? The files are empty and PS4 refuses to launch direct.

See the screenshot below the link.

I was watching a stream from the game yesterday... Weird.

Are you sure the article is not mistaken?

DonMingos4091d ago

Maybe it is because he is trying to stream from a EU PSN account a game that is available only in Japan

sigfredod4091d ago

Yes this is fake are streamings right now

SonyROXitoohya4091d ago

U can stream any game, u don't need the share button....the share button just makes it easier for every day gamers to stream.

Axisian4091d ago

I assure you, the stream was directly from PS4. (The PS4 streaming UI is obvious).

Besides, I'm pretty sure the developers said something about Interactive Streaming features in this game... Like typing in the comments to increase health and whatnot.

AceBlazer134091d ago

I uploaded demo gameplay yesterday, only things is that it had a black box with the word sega at the lower right corner.

morganfell4091d ago (Edited 4091d ago )

I am at Twitch right now 130 PM EST US and there are a few live PS4 Direct Streams going at the moment.

Just go to twitch.tv and search for Yakuza Ishin.

ZodTheRipper4091d ago

Only parts of the game (e. g. story spoilers) can't be shared, simple as that.

fenome4091d ago

I was watching a stream of it yesterday too. It was some arena duel or something..

yes i believe it if i am stupid. there is no issue with the sharing. the only thing it does not capture is the Cut Scenes but it will capture the game play

Iltapalanyymi4091d ago

i noticed this yesterday while playing the demo.

EvilGost4091d ago

I think Don't unterstand why developers disable this functionality, it's promotional for a game...

DeadMansHand4091d ago

Look at the Thief debacle. A guy got an early copy, went to GAF and linked has twitch account. He then proceeded to play and about 1.2 million people then saw how shoddy the AI was, the lack of story or interesting NPCs, how crappy the physics were and how horrible the hub was in terms of level design. Then came page after page of comments that amounted to, "well, preorder cancelled now".

Doesn't take a genius to see that when devs know they have a turd on their hands that allowing the world to see it before they make a purchase is not in their best interests.

Nightmar3Demom4091d ago

Well, that's a game I won't be buying.

3-4-54091d ago

z-cba - You won't play a game because you can't show everybody how "good" you are ?

Nightmar3Demom4091d ago

No, actually I really stink at most games. I just don't like the idea of a developer disabling functionality. They can if they want, and I can choose not to buy it if I want.

KwietStorm_BLM4091d ago

Ignoring the fact that there are streams right now, that's a really stupid reason to not buy a game.

Nightmar3Demom4091d ago

And that would also be a really stupid reason to write the article

How Ghost of Tsushima's Success Could Pave the Way for Yakuza Ishin & Kenzan in the West

Western releases of Yakuza Ishin and Kenzan could finally be happening thanks to the overwhelming success of Ghost of Tsushima.

"Sato: Even long before Ghost of Tsushima, I did want to release “samurai” games like Kenzan and Ishin in the West. Unfortunately, after Yakuza 0, we were very busy with remastering the numbering Yakuza titles for the PS4, so we missed the opportunity to work on some of these other games."

The remasters strike again. Easy cash is like a brick wall to new releases.

veicht1503d ago (Edited 1503d ago )

I don't know that said logic is applicable here... Kenzan and Ishin would not be "new releases" in a meaningful way imo. They released in 2008 and 2014 respectively. Yeah, they never released in the west, but they would effectively be remasters themselves. Additionally, while remastering the numbered games instead of remastering ishin and kenzan, they put out yakuza 6, fist of the north star, judgement, and yakuza like a dragon (all new).

Tankbusta401504d ago

Ishin was simply amazing...I played it through using Salty Yen's videos

boing11504d ago (Edited 1504d ago )

I don't think any of the mentioned games have such mainstream appeal like GoT. GoT worked, because it was made by a western developer.

2moda5gamer1504d ago

Perhaps not, but GoT as a new IP killed it - and bringing that era of Japan to the west in an already successful franchise should work now. Yakuza has a drastically larger following compared to 8 years ago when these games originally released.
There's gonna be a lot of fans who wanna get into this spin on the combat and minigames.

There's Still A Yakuza Game That Hasn't Come To America

For some reason, Sega doesn't think games about ancient Japan would sell in America.

five actually
>Yakuza Online
>Yakuza black panther 1 and 2
>Yakuza Kenzen and Ishin

Black Panther 1 and Kenzan are being translated but i havent heard anything from the fanpatches since last september i guess.

TheColbertinator1893d ago

Yakuza Black Panther and Ishin were in my wishlist for a long time. Sega should have had more faith in those games

Terry_B1893d ago

Do the writers from thegamer.com know..anything at all?

CrimsonWing691893d ago (Edited 1893d ago )

You might want to work on them investigative journalism skills, bub!

AK911893d ago

Don't forget about Kenzan.

no plans for these two games, yakuza destroyed with turn based combat. WTF? too much success for Yakuza?

PhoenixUp2077d ago

Hate when Japanese series treats western audiences like second class citizens

King_Noctis2077d ago

Why not? Afraid those games might sell more than they do in Japan?
