Famitsu has gone live with its first online preview of Yakuza 0.
The newly announced PlayStation 4 and PS3 game is set in 1988, before the events of the first game, and tells the origin stories of Kazuma Kiryu and Majima Goro.
It's 7 years before Yakuza 1, Kiryu is 20 I think.
How epic would it be if they done a little cross over with Shenmue :D I think Shenmue 2 was around 1987, would be awesome to see Ryo Hazuki appear back in Japan in '88 in this game, maybe in the fighting arena? :)
i am surprised that there isnt a digital version available.
also surprised that sony europe and america does not have some kind of japanese import store.
i know i can just go to play asia and order the game, could also avoid import tax. but having an option to purchase japanese digital games with additional fees on your own psn account would be great.
@caseh
seeing someone asking around for sailors would be a little funny, but im not sure if shenmue was actually in tokyo. could be wrong though.
agreed. i think its mainly due to it being crossgen. however, yakuza games have been pretty decent standard. character faces have always been great, everything else average.
yes and i never understood why SEGA keep releasing a Yakuza every year and they don't wanna develop shenmue. they can just reuse the same faces technology i think they're pretty well made
That's why i confused why Sega didn't use Atlus USA to localize Yakuza series. Atlus USA had a great history of localizing japanese games, especially games with lots of text / dialogues. There also company like Xseed, NISA, and Aksys that Sega can choose to localize Yakuza.
Also, a limited release of retail edition doesn't hurt them either. Considering there's company like NISA, Aksys, Xseed, and even Namco did it with some of their titles.
But like SE & Capcom, this just show that Sega need to change their management ASAP if they don't want to lose more of their fans :(
Sigh...just another Yakuza game that I won't fully get to enjoy due to no English language localization. These are great games, why the hell won't Sega localize them?
Looks amazing.
How many years before Yakuza 1 intro is this suppose to be?
looks good as always, no huge graphical jump
- Yakuza 0
- Yakuza HD collection
- Yakuza 5
- Yakuza Kenzan
- Yakuza Ishin
- Yakuza Black Panther 1 & 2
Welp, i'm losing my hope that sega will localize all of them. Maybe it's time to learn some japanese and just import the game from playasia.
