Yakuza: Like a Dragon seemingly not coming to PS5 this year. Possible timed exclusivity deal?
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
Christ. I'm not denying that Cross Buy exists. I know it exists. I'm saying that Sony haven't divulged what they plan to do with PS5 yet. They could very well just employ the same system they used for early this gen, but they haven't specified yet. It's been a long time since Cross Buy was in use so they may even be preparing something new.
That's what I mean by plans.
I thought the same as OP, because other games announced today are showing PS5 specifically
Yeah it's at least a little weird then

I guess some people really took a hit today.
Good on xbox and Sega for having it release on multiple platforms. Not really that hard now was it?
On the contrary, this is precisely why it is an interesting topic. If MS did want to do interesting things in Japan, it has to start doing so in a consistent manner. Like I said above, it is exceptionally weird not to talk about PS5 if it is coming out day 1 (not just PS4 BC or whatever happens with that). Even the Steam trailer shows seemingly everything but PS5
That would be the weirdest timed exclusivity. You can play it on PS4, but not on PS5, even when PS5 is BC?
I find it way more likely that Sony might not have a smart delivery like feature, than ms purchasing exclusivity to keep the game out of PS5.
But would you advertise a PS4 version played via BC, as a PS5 version? That seems needlessly misleading. PS4 is there in the trailer, specifically for a western release (ie western release it isn't out yet). So why exclude PS5, but include Steam. They seem clear on where you can get it. So it's a fair question to wonder why it isn't there.
What's up with the last part of the video, laser shooting satellites and magic spells WTF?
Weird!I thought the same as OP, because other games announced today are showing PS5 specifically.
If there is a day and date PS5 version of Yakuza Like a Dragon, it is exceptionally dumb to announce every other version except that
Also wondered, but Yakuza has some hilarious moments, so not so surprised. Also the new turn based stuff might lead in that direction
It's obviously a bit weird because other games have been confirmed for PS5, but for now I'm just assuming Sega is waiting for the PS5 to be officially unveiled.
Of course not. Cause the Series X version is a real next gen version with improvements (however they look like) and not just a back compatible last gen version like on PS4.
Yakuza 0 being Japan only on PS3 might have had something to do with it.
This is just an artifact of it being part of an XBOX event. Don't worry the PS5 version is coming out this year as well. The RGG twitter has confirmed as much.
I think it's more so because Sony hasn't really shown off more of the PS5 and it's upcoming lineup.
It's weird, because AC Valhalla was announced clearly for PS4/PS5. So all I can think of is that it's being saved later tobe announced coming to the PS5 at a PS5 reveal, or it will be updated later, or we will only get a PS4 version.
But I think it will end up coming to the PS5.

This is exactly my point. You can argue that a PS5 version is yet to be revealed and launches day 1 etc. If that were true, it's exceeding dumb not to discuss that version also, when you are literally discussing every other version, old gen, new gen and PC
Considering that it is releasing before the Series X comes out, apparently, there won't be a next-gen boxed copy of it.
Which means they couldn't announce a PS5 version of it until PlayStation announce the existence of their equivalent of Smart Delivery. If they are doing that.

Definitely be one of the most pointless timed exclusive deals yet and probably not good for anyone if they are going to start moneyhatting next gen ports, because you can be sure as shit both will do it, which will probably just be FPS boosts at that.
Definitely a weird omission when looking at the platform lists for the other games shown.
Would not totally rule out some sort of moneyhat at this point, but we'll see.
Wouldn't really be that much different from those timed exclusivity deals on game features we already see sometimes nowadays.

I think both can be true and probably are. It's an Xbox game and it comes on one disc and it'll work on both Xbox Series X and Xbox One. If played on a Series X it'll have SX enhancements.
It's MS leaning into their 'generation less' future. There is no 'proper Series X' version. It's just an Xbox game. And if you see the little green badge then it'll run like you'd expect a Series X to run. If not, it'll run as it would on an Xbox One.
Being all cross-gen, the X version should be more stable i suppose. With this presentation, there could be more work that's going to be done, maybe because MS offered some help, it's getting a Windows store version. It's been said that devs can not talk about PS5's back-compat/cross-buy stuff until Sony talks about it themselves.
Yeah, if it is true though, is this like some weird way of cutting exclusivity deals that cost less? Usually with these console deals they omit an entire platform - old and new gen. This is the first of it's kind I can think of - - if there is actually some sort of exclusivity here.
Not a western release, which is what this trailer is for
It doesn't make too much sense when a PS4 version is coming which should be playable on PS5. It's basically the same thing on Xbox. Seems a bit too far fetched that MS would've paid to have timed exclusivity to a next-gen patch, as it really doesn't make that big of difference if you're trying to have an advantage. This would really be a first. If it wasn't coming to PS4, then this would be a clear timed exclusive and nothing new about it.
