I know it looks pretty yakuza but man it would be a amazing twist if the boss fights are held at court, with heat move-esque evidence giving, table slamming and pointing.

I mean, that's gotta happen sooner or later. Yakuza 3 had a Phoenix Wright styled side story so I hope we do get some crazy heat move/motions while in court.

Sega America just uploaded a English subbed version of the story trailer.

I do wonder though, for international release, is this coming before or after the eventual Yakuza 3/4/5 ports? Those were designed to tap into the western fanbase, and if all of that, and potentially Yakuza Online drop next year....

Jeez Louise that's a lot. I want it all.

Been a while since I played 3 so I don't quite remember. But yeah, if court battle is a thing then I hope it cool.

Sorry, but I disagree with that as well. 0 and Ishin were done after 4 and are both way better than it om every way. And 5 on a gameplay level smokes 4 as well while also introducing several new mini games and overhauls the hostess conversations to something actually fun. Fist of the North Star also changes up the combat tons but does reuse a few mini games I wish had not been reused (basically just the Casino and arcade games, as I've played those before. Would have preferred more new games but at least we got the MKIII FOTNS Sega game to play).

This game looks quite different from Yakuza as well, bar the setting of course. All new mini games, very different combat in terms of moves (shown so far, though I expect the heat move system to be very similar, upgrades probably as well) and the exploration/investigation gameplay is totally different to what you got in Yakuza. This is a great breath of fresh air and I'm glad they are going with this. But that's just me.

No need to say sorry, it's fine to disagree. I must admit I liked zero, but again it was pretty much the same game in the same locations and the same style of mini-games and while the remakes are nice, they are just remakes. I enjoy all the Assassin Creed games, but there feel very much the same as the last one (very much like Yakuza)
I love SEGA and really want to see SEGA Japan go toe to toe with the likes of Capcom and FromSoftware but that seems like a dream. I love to see the Yakuza team break free and make another action game or even a sequel to Binary Domain (all it lacked was 4 player online co-op) or if it must be a new Yakuza game, break free of the locations and have locations from around the world . The Yakuza don't just operate in Japan

The over the top fighting and the fact that, by the looks of it, it will play a prominent part of the gameplay, puts me off immediately. Just looks like Yakuza but with a focus on being a detective of sorts.. meh. Was getting a grittier Shenmue vibe up until then.

Man I cant get over how much this game is my shit. I love lawyer crime stuff like Ace Attorney and I LOVE Yakuza.

Can we actually get a crossover now? Please?

They did it with Layton!

Yakuza team is so damn good. Will eat anything they put out at this point. It's always interesting.

I'll support the ever loving shit off anything this team puts out. Haven't been misled yet, so bring it on. Even if it's Asia only with English subs, that's an import for me!

This is a brave new world, they're clearly working in tandem now and taking on both markets at once.

I don't know what inspired the paradigm shift, but I love it.

Their localization team is incredible too. The writing in the recent Yakuza releases is half the reason I've enjoyed the games so much.

I don't like studios making so many sequels but it looks like they're refining the franchise more and more with each game. Yakuza 6 and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are amazing.

I hope the final boss battle is in court with a corrupt prosecutor, and mid way through the trial he rips off his top revealing legal tattoos.

The english trailer also had the same japanese song.

I hope that going forward (as in new games, not remasters/remakes) the music differences are over.

I'm so in for this, yet another game to play that's crazy and cool! I hope the investigation stuff gets as much focus as the fighting, as it's pretty familiar (But still great) in that regard.

Kiwami 2 managed to have it, even when a lot of people didn't like the new songs that much, but it seems they have ways to make it happen now or maybe their budget increased. That the same trailer served as the confirmation for the west at least makes me hopeful.

Oh, I thought that the changes were made for the west only (I've just started Kiwami 2). I hope so too!

Massive groan at the Yakuza x Ace Attorney descriptions!

Ace attorney isnt anything like this, its a cartoon, whereas this is more like a kdrama/jdrama.

This is gonna be amazing.

Was expecting a different genre and gameplay like Binary Domain before.

Very curious about Shin Yakuza now.
