[KoolAid]

Why not PC tho

 

[Firefly]

Choosing Stadia over PC is very odd.

 

[CloseTalker]

Ugh I started this literally a week ago lol. 60fps would make it so much better to play.

Surprised MS didn't lock it in for Game Pass

 

[soundtrack]

with all of the yakuzas coming to steam/game pass, i can't imagine this not eventually making its way to PC.

 

[rpm]

PC is weirdly absent, maybe Google paid for exclusivity (didn't they do that with Samurai Shodown?)

Also $39.99 is a rip off compared to 1,980 yen in Japan

 

[Cheddahz]

EDIT: NO FREE UPGRADE PATH IF YOU BOUGHT THE GAME ON THE PS4 AND NO STEAM VERSION

Sega is bringing Judgment, the murder-mystery action-adventure from its Yakuza team, to PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X on April 23. The remastered version of Judgment will include refined visuals, a 60 frames per second frame rate, and improved load times, Sega says — plus it includes all previously released downloadable content. Sega's re-release of Judgment will cost $39.99.


Judgment was originally released exclusively for PlayStation 4. Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio released the game first in Japan, with a global release following in June 2019.

Stadia and no PC? Okay.

 

[Soulflarz]

all i can say is ?_?

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Sweeeeeeet, will buy on my Xbox Series X!

Spoiler

I've owned it since PS4 launch and have played all but 15 minutes... Ugh, I hate myself for doing that. Alas, I will have the time cleared in April and 60fps, woohoo!

 

[Chaserjoey]

I loved Judgment. Maybe I'll give it another playthrough on PS5.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Glad I didn't buy it yet then, PS5 version it is.

 

[Deleted member 45765]

Brilliant! I loved the game, curious why there's no PC release though.

 

[Toumari]

Stadia but no PC is funny given recent news.

Great game, by the way. Pick it up.

Guess we can expect a sequel in the future now.

 

[chandoog]

Oh fucking hell yes !

Amazing game deserves a bigger audience.

 

[Strittles]

Yesssss

I was hoping this would come to Xbox by the time I was done with the Yakuza games. Sooner than I expected!

Oddly enough, it's only 1,980 yen in Japan. First time in recent memory a game is so much lesser priced in Japan compared to the west.

 

[StereoVSN]

Studia? That's a tad strange.

 

[Leraeniesh]

Well that's a surprise. No free upgrade path at the moment, and no Steam release?

 

[ThatsMyTrunks]

I'll probably pick it up on XBox so that when it eventually comes out on Windows I'll have the Windows Store version. Yakuza 7 treated me well cross-platform.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Its up there in the top Yakuza game for me and free of any Yakuza back log you might have. Go for it

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

So no upgrade for existing owners ?

 

[Derkon]

Bought a physical copy of this for cheap recently, guess I'll wait for this version to come out for PS5.

 

[dom]

Free Upgrade?

 

[ValKiryuSonicEX]

April 23rd, no steam version announced:

 

[Rowsdower]

Stadia over PC? lmao

 

[marcbret87]

Stadia but no steam? Weird

 

[Brodo Baggins]

Will saves transfer between PS4 and PS5? I stopped playing around chapter 5 and it's been on my backlog for a while. I was actually really digging it but had burned out after playing this right after Kiwami 2.

 

[Ryu Elessar]

looks like Judgment has finally come to stadia

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Why not PC tho

I smell exclusivity BS like with...

Samurai Shodown

...hopefully that won't be followed by more exclusivity BS with EGS...

 

[ZeroX]

Already beat it on PS4 but that's cool. Honestly the loading time improvements are probably the biggest jump, game was already very solid on PS4.

I hope so, but I'm willing to bet not. Yakuza 7 doesn't.

[Damn Silly]

Sweet, I'll definitely pick it up on Xbox as an excuse to play through it again.

Definitely sucks for the PC folks though, who have been supporting Yakuza when possible.

 

[Toumari]

Free Upgrade?

Click to shrink...

Nope.

 

[dancingphlower]

Guessing no upgrade for PS4 owners?

 

[Smoshow]

Free Upgrade?

Click to shrink...

Doesn't look like it from what I am seeing

 

[sandboxgod]

Shame PC version was omitted. I would have bought it there.
Congrats to you other next gen consoles

 

[GlitchyDegree]

No Xbox One release?

 

[Son of Sparda]

Nice to see that Sega is continuing its exclusivity BS with these releases. Sigh.

 

[RochHoch]

One of the very best Yakuza games

Play it if you already haven't

 

[Lord Fanny]

No Game Pass, no PC and then being on Stadia on pretty much the day it basically died as a concept. That is...strange. Just strange

 

[Metroidvania]

lol @ Stadia over Steam, tho I can't blame recouping costs if Google paid for exclusivity or what have you.

 

[ZeroX]

I mean how many PS5 owners are there in Japan to even buy the game, by the time there's enough PS5s to go around the game would've dropped in price already lol

 

[Deleted member 21709]

So it is a separate SKU? Shame.

Ugh, should've skipped that sale then.

 

[Deleted member 2441]

no upgrade and no Steam? lmao

Sega on a roll with this garbage

 

[Pankratous]

Wow, huge difference in quality between versions revealed by the YouTube thumbnails. PS5 is vastly superior!

Spoiler

Kidding, obviously.

Always good to see more games make the jump. Stadia lives!
