I wouldnt be surprised tbh if this turned out to be a legit thing in the game like they have done with the last couple of Yakuza games for the side character stories

RpgSama2234d ago

I know it's April's fool, but that thing looks AWESOME!!!! Please do it!!!

Alek832233d ago

I know, what a great idea right! And such an awesome setting for a Turn Based RPG.

NecrumOddBoy2234d ago

I sort of wish people didn't feel the need to spoil everything instantly. "APRIL FOOLS JOKE REVEALED IN THIS NEW VIDEO!" Just put it out and let the community marinate it on for a few days like the old days of magazines, before the internet.

Abriael2234d ago (Edited 2234d ago )

I understand your point of view, but if we didn't, others would complain that they've been misled.

And I'd rather spoil a joke (which is still funny anyway) than mislead.

LightningMokey2234d ago

Is that not the point of a joke?

NecrumOddBoy2234d ago

Everything you said sounds like a millennial talking. "I would rather support safe spaces than humor."

Abriael2234d ago (Edited 2234d ago )

@NecrumOddBoy: the perfect telltale of a "millennial" is getting annoyed by nothing at all and calling other millennials. :D

Incidentally, were you born before 1980? Because if you weren't, you're a millennial.

Doge2234d ago

Quit being such a boomer, Necrum.

AirJohnston2234d ago

It just sounds like you don’t like jokes

Wolffenblitz2234d ago

@Abriael Not everyone born after late 80s is a Millennial...

But this whole mislead thing does sound a bit a long the lines of the outrage culture we have going at the moment.

rainslacker2234d ago (Edited 2234d ago )

One of the best things about April Fools jokes of this nature, is that it leaves people guessing if its an april fools joke, or if it's real. It's gone both ways in the past. Sometimes its obvious, other times, not so much. If it's made known to be a joke from the get go, it's not really a joke, as you're skipping the joke, and going right to the reveal.

Lol that actually looked really good. The team should work on some kind of fantasy game with all those effects they can do.

rob-GP2234d ago

Are we sure this is an April fool? I know it goes onto the date at the end, but there's a PC/Mobile game on the way which could most likely be this game, or this could be a mode in the new PS4 main game. Seems a bit too elaborate and polished for a joke...

The UI is very rough, pretty obviously made in spare time for the prank, and the title of the video to "simulate" a leak is pretty obvious.

The assets are most probably from Shin Yakuza, and possibly a mix of other Dragon Engine games, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza 6, and Judgment.

I don't expect this to become a real minigame, but I expect some of it assets to be real from Shin Yakuza.
