Ryu Ga Gotoku (Yakuza) 15th anniversary stream on December 8th
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
Remaster with higher res backgrounds (or a full 3D camera for city exploration) would be fine. Remakes would make me very weary. Kurohyou 1&2 "work" due to being on the PSP, they are pretty impressive technically - with a unique combat system and cutscenes that use an awesome animated comic book style. If those things are changed, the appeal of the games would be lessened for me (the combat especially).
I feel like Judge Eyes 2 will happen. It's a new series and they kind of wanted to branch out I think. And it's not like that game sold poorly or anything.

I do agree that I think it will happen... but I was hoping it would be announced today.
That would be great.
At the very least I want the original versions in english. They are really unique in the series so it would be great to finally play them in English.
If they decide to remake them and replace the combat I would be really sad. If they give us the original versions but decide to remake it anyway then whatever, it is fine. Just give us the original games first.
Nagoshi says 5 was really the limit and they really put in all their effort making it the best title yet. They didn't think anything about what to do next.
(Myself have only played 1HD, 3, 4, 5 and Kenzan. I really thought 5 was crazy in content. I need to play 2 Kiwami, Zero, 6 and Judgement and Ishin).

I thought Judge Eyes sold quite badly,until they announced that they were removing that actor and the physical copies got snapped up.
I'm open to correction on that.I just remember reading that somewhere.
Fair enough but hey you never know, it's about the studio so it might a "one more thing" at the end or something.
5 has an extreme amount of content. That's why I love it so much. Completed the story in 120 hours and only had like 40% completion, lol.
From Wikipedia:
" January 13, 2019, Famitsu revised its sales figures to 310,000 copies.Producer Daisuke Sato said that Western sales of Judgment had exceeded expectations. "

I am talking about the timeline they are talking about in the show right now.
They're just showing a timeline of all the releases of the Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza franchise.
Obviously Judge Eyes/Judgment is not gonna be in there since it's not a RGG/Yakuzer title.
I think they meant that, seeing as it was a Yakuza 15th anniversary, it's not showing up on the timeline (that they are showing on the stream), since it's spin-off and not Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza-branded.
But - as far as I know - Judgment and the Yakuza games are in the same timeline storywise.
When it comes to yakuza 5, I feel the game could have been way better if they just trimmed the dialogue and stopped saying dreams so much.
I love the game otherwise but I wish so much of the dialogue didn't drag on and on. The side content are great though. It is worth playing for that alone. Shinada, Kiryu and even Saejima's activities were a blast.

They seem to be super analogue in various areas, while high-tech in other. I mean they way they still rely on fax machine... It's really weird.
Yea very much so. But this particular one just strikes me as odd. Like, it would be so much faster and cheaper to do this CG. It's like this for the news, variety shows, etc. too. Speaking of fax machines....had to fax something as recently as last week....lol
Since Nagoshi isnt well versed in Jpn history Yokoyama felt the pressure to make Ishin more fictional fun and made a story about "what if Ryoma Sakamoto were part of the Shinsengumi". Nagoshi couldnt tell fiction from actual history.
Nagoshi also didn't know much sbout Fist of the North Star before making Hokuto no Gotoku.

Huh, I find interesting how Nagoshi's saying that he's clueless about history and he doesn't even understand why do we have to have history lessons in schools...lol I'm in the completely opposite direction actually.
God I need to catch up on Yakuza so bad, but also don't wanna rush it. I only just started Haruka's chapter in 5 so I still have a ways to go but the possibility of a new game coming out just adds more to the plate haha
Played Yakuza 5 earlier this year and I knew going in that people didn't really like the Shinada segment. I can see why in hindsight: it's not particularly relevant to the main plot, it's tucked away at the end which kind of kills the pacing and Shinada's combat is awful. However, I'll be damned if I didn't love him and his story. So heartwarming. Makes me sad that people hate on him so much.
You are almost there.
Yakuza 5 is by far the longest game in the series. Once you get over it you will be almost done with the series- Yakuza 6 is paced much faster. It is closer to Yakuza 1-3 in length.
I loved him too. His story was refreshing as it was pretty disconnected. His combat demands a lot to be fun though. That part is tedious as the game is long enough already.
He's a great, funny and goofy character, but he's completely useless within the story (I played it two years ago, so my memory may fail me).
Yeah I'm talking about Judge Eyes. The Japanese release. I assume they aren't at the point that they are focusing on western sakes when deciding what to work on.
The characters themselves poke fun at that, actually. The treat him as discount Tanimura in the last substory, haha.
Well the same article said they sold through 97% of allocation in Japan, so that's pretty damn good.
Pretty sure they said the 3-4-5 remasters were made because of the new succes in the west since 0 iirc
Opened the thread to say this. Still remember when that happened on a 2017 stream - people on the old place seemed to think it was Oshii.
I graduated with a degree in history. This kind of subject has a way of teaching us to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Also, much of history is about the really interesting points of otherwise boring topics.
Still the only (western released) RGG Studio game I haven't played. Is it worth playing if I don't know the anime at all?
God, this would be great.
