Yakuza Dead Souls Gets New Trailer

Yakuza Dead Souls, the latest game in the Yakuza franchise, differs from past games, the main reasons being that Sega have turned it into a third person shooter, with zombies. As we are getting close to launch Sega have decided to release a new trailer for the game, showcasing the mini games you can play in it.

I didn't know they were going to put mini-games on top of the zombie madness. Thats kind of cool! Wonder if they involve zombies in some way.

I played the JP demo over a year ago. It was about 2 hours long. There was a dating scene which was mini games and such. I of course didn't understand much. But after playing it I have to say the game plays well, feels very Japanese. The action is slick, the combat is fun. The game really just felt good and different. I liked it very much. I love the QTE when in combat. Like when you shoot a gas tank or a scaffle sending debris down on a group of zombies.

Definitely agree NukaCola. I also grabbed the JP demo a year ago and had a lot of fun with it. Its crazy how long and in-depth they end up making the Japanese demos for this series. I remember playing the Yakuza 4 demo off the JP store and that was like 3 hours long.

I don't know if either of you were prior fans of the Yakuza series, but if you haven't checked them out I would highly recommend them. Right now you can get Yakuza 3 and 4 for less than $20 each, and you won't need to have played Yakuza 1 or 2 to know whats happening, because there are lengthy videos at the beginning of each game to explain everything that happened in the prior ones.

I've became a huge fan of the series around the time the second game was localized, so I'm getting this as a day-one release. Its just a shame that Tales of Graces F and Yakuza: Dead Souls are releasing on the same day (plus Binary Domain, the Yakuza team's other game, releases just two weeks prior), because they're both part of a smaller market which really should be seeing much larger sales, given the quality and sheer amount of content in them, to encourage the publishers and developers to make and localize these faster and more often.

I to played the demo a year ago, I was very impressed by the length and game. Yakuza 3 and 4 were both great games, some stores now have Yakuza 4 for under 5 pounds in England which to me is one of the best deals around. Anyway very excited for this game and whatever else is coming next in the series such as Yakuza 5. BTW ShadyDevil, I believe you can fish for zombies, and also play table tennis against them!

Should RGG Studio Port Yakuza: Dead Souls, Ishin and Kenzan?

RGG Studio, the developers behind Yakuza and Judgment, have blown up recently, but should their older, obscure games be given a second chance?

Yes.Also the PSP games should be ported

Iltapalanyymi1295d ago

Absolutely, especially ishin and kenzan. I also played the kurohyou psp game that was translated recently and had a blast. Now i want more of it but sadly the 2nd one isnt translated. Maybe RGG studio could port it to some kind of HD collection? Would be cool

Iltapalanyymi1295d ago

The kurohyou 2 fan translation is coming january 7th!!

Yakuza Ishin and Kenzan should totally get a remaster/port for modern consoles with a western localization. Dead Souls I'm more on the fence. I had fun with that game. But it's undoubtedly far below the franchise standard.

GhostofHorizon1295d ago

There was an interview where they mentioned they are giving it a second thought just because Ghost of Tsushima did so well, previously they were not convinced those games would find an audience in the west.

Personally I would love it if they ported these over.

Do Not Sleep On Yakuza: Dead Souls

Yeah, Yakuza: Dead Souls is very loud and very dumb, but sometimes that's exactly what you really need.

It's the best zombie game I played with a very mutual serious tone story that does not take itself to a serious if that makes sense

I highly recommend you play this game I just wish they would update the controls because the controls are just kind of weird. But you get used to it after a few hours

REALAS1827d ago

Very fun game. I would love a sequel. The first person controls were hard at first, but once you learn the trick to quick aim, its cake. Another overlooked classic.

DxTrixterz1827d ago (Edited 1827d ago )

Get to the Top sang by Majima is alone a reason to play this hidden gem.

AK911826d ago

This game was garbage, no I’m not talking about the story or whatever I mean the core gameplay it was absolute rubbish.

Good to know, when my ps3 eventually dies I can still play my games.

neocores80552518d ago

Goodluck with that 90% of the games dont even boot on it yet

snake-OO2518d ago

In time....I remember back in mid 2000's the ps2 emulator hardly ran anything, and now it runs 90% of the games.
