Does Yakuza 4 have a decent summary of the previous games? I just want to yakuza as much as everyone else.

Yes it does =)
yOU can get a recap of the events of Y1-3 from the game's main menu.

 

[Acquiescence]

If you haven't already.
PLAY YAKUZA 4 AND GET HYPE FOR YAKUZA 5!!!

But before you get hype for 5, play 2 and 3 as well, because they're even better than 4!

 

[Bananastand]

Apotheon looks really, really cool. Since I already own Transistor and Rogue Legacy I'm happy with that game alone

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Nothing for me then.

 

[aravuus]

Whoa nice, I've been wanting to play Transistor and get into the Yakuza series

Rogue Legacy is great too, but I've finished it a couple of times on PC already so meh

 

[EvilKatarn]

All those people being introduced to the Yakuza series via the fourth installment, heh.

Is it a bad place to start?

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Transistor + Rogue Legacy = Win

 

[RageWaffles]

Don't have Transistor or Rogue Legacy. But what the hell is Apotheon? I don't even see it on the store (NA).

I don't think it's out yet.

 

[Xando]

Thank God i didn't buy Transistor at christmas like i wanted.

 

[Lionheart]

Could be that it's not the final selection for other countries BTW as sometimes they replace a (violent) game in Germany because of laws there.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Holy shit amazing month.

 

[Summer Haze]

Transistor. Nice. I've heard plenty of great things about that game.

 

[Kane1345]

Yakuza 4?!

I already own it but awesome news

 

[Veritigo_X]

Don't have Transistor or Rogue Legacy. But what the hell is Apotheon? I don't even see it on the store (NA).

Metroidvania game with a crazy ancient Greek art style.

 

[Hanmik]

lol the german blog link is DEAD.. they posted to fast..

 

[Scanna]

Wow. will play 4 or 5 out of six. Amazing.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

*sigh*

 

[captmcblack]

PLEASE let this also be the slate for NA.

Yakuza 4, Rogue Legacy and Transistor is sweet.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Damn! This is probably the best month I've ever seen.

Already own Transistor and Yakuza 4, but have yet to play the rest.

 

[Servbot24]

Wow, very good batch of games.

 

[Markitron]

Thief was the worst game I played in 2014, and that was on PS4.

Avoid it like the plague. Rest of the lineup is solid though.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Now everyone gets to enjoy the glory of Yakuza 4 and prepare for 5. AKIYAMA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

 

[dralla]

Transistor was a bit of a disappointment but mother fuckin' Rogue Legacy. Best game on PS4? Maybe

 

[Nugg]

It's such an amazing month that I already own almost everything

 

[OléGunner]

Glorious month. Simply glorious.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Summer is what we've been told.

Oh nice, that's better than "2015"

 

[Acquiescence]

Is it a bad place to start?

Not really, there's a recap video of what happened in previous games to bring you up to speed. But still, there's going to be a lot of people diving in the deep end so to speak.

Whoa. Don't remember seeing anything about this game before. Looks amazing.

 

[OnionPowder]

This month is unbelievably good!!

 

[Tizoc]

Summer is what we've been told.

This is the greatest Yakuza GIF I've ever seen.

 

[Gaz_RB]

APOTHEON!!!

FUCK YEAH!!!

 

[androvsky]

Yakuza 4 is a good place to jump in. It starts with a new character (and a really good one at that) and doesn't assume franchise fatigue like the start of 3 did.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Nice.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Holy shit, Yakuza 4. Playing that shit immediately.

 

[BumRush]

Is this real life?
Wow at that list!

I keep re-reading it, lol. At least 4 games on that list I don't own and have strongly considered buying recently.

Okay, yeah I remember seeing this. Awesome.

It's yet to be released.

Hm, so it's going to be free right off the bat then? Interesting.

 

[Hasney]

Goddamn. I'm not complaining as this is an excellent month, but OlliOlli 2 was rumoured and that had my hype thrusters flowing. Still, heard good things about Transistor so looking forward to it.

EDIT: Didn't see Rogue Legacy was cross-buy. Sweet, wanted that one too.

Anyone who hasn't experienced the majesty of Yakuza 4 is in for a treat.

 

[Lucifon]

Back to indies for PS4 then?

Already own and completed Transistor, and own Rogue Legacy Literally nothing I'm interested in this month, sub runs out in a couple of days too so might just let it lapse.

Ohhh, I remember that game now. Yeah, that looks good. That improves the selection for me considerably.

I remember that trailer. Looks very nice.

 

[eFKac]

I own four of those already!

That speaks about the quality of this month!

But I feel you! Have Transistor myself, great game though so no regrets.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Could be that it's not the final selection for other countries BTW as sometimes they replace a (violent) game in Germany because of laws there.

Don't they only do that if one of the games is Hyper violent, so banned or restricted there?

 

[YianGaruga]

The blog post and the tweet have been deleted. I hope there won't be any last minute changes.

 

[Rikkun]

HOLY SHIT

FUCKING YAKUZA 4

SONY I LOVE U

 

[mclem]

Not familiar with Apotheon or Kick and Fennick, but everything else is pretty awesome.

 

[DieH@rd]

Excellent! I did not played Transistor and Rogue Legacy and I really hoped they would appear soon on IGC.

 

[delSai]

Hm, so it's going to be free right off the bat then? Interesting.

That happend alot on Ps4, Games like Pix the Cat and Contrast were free on Release Day. It's amazing.

The blog post and the tweet have been deleted. I hope there won't be any last minute changes.

Doubt it. Probably published it too early.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

 

[Yoday]

Wow, pretty damn good month, and I don't even know what the first PS4 game is.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Yakuza 4 is better than every other game ever released on this service combined.
