Support NeoGAF

[The Artisan]

got it

now i wonder will the actual box still say "console exclusive" or "only on playstation"

 

[Callibretto]

wow, surprised we're getting physical disc. I think the sales of this will actually decide whether we're getting Yakuza 6 or not, no more charities from Sony I guess, although I'm still thankful we got Yakuza 5 and 0.

do we know if Yakuza 5 make it's localization money back?

 

[Justice_Bolt]

I will buy digitally on PS4. My first Yakuza and i have high hope for this series.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Hey. So, I know that box tag seems a bit ambiguous as to its meaning, but a PC version is not in the cards. The PS4 version is the only version that will exist in the west. (Other point: it was released on the PS3 in Japan, but the PS3 version will not release in the west.)

Day 0, and very pleasantly surprised we're getting a physical release.

January is too far. I played the original way back when it released but I've fallen off the series since, seeing how much they've advanced the formula by Zero is extremely impressive.

Page on Amazon has an Edition tab but only shows Standard. Is it not updated yet?

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Sure. I'll support Yakuza as much as I can and who knows, if I ever need a card holder, I'll have the sickest card holder in the world.

was thinking the same thing.

word I got that, now i'm just wondering about the actual physical label will stil say console exclusive\

i think since's it's the day 1 edition as long as you preorder you're good

yeyeyeyeYEA

gimme the business

 

[Nightengale]

PC version not in the cards doesn't mean it can never come to PC one day. It's not like it's locked out from never coming to PC, just that the devs don't bother porting it to PC in the near future, or ever

Just don't pining for one, it may happen one day, or it may never happen. This is the current reality of some developers.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

How is the gameplay like - like what would you compare this to in terms of gameplay?

(Never played a Yakuza game)

Is it like Sleeping Dogs/GTA?

It's like this

 

[Douche McBaggins The 3rd]

Going to preorder it later in the week. ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT.

Wasted
No
Time


Preordered physical. Amazon Canada shows ''only on playstation'' logo so no pc it seems (wanted them cheats).

 

[dreamfall]

This is awesome - the fact that we're finally getting this release with some great physical edition goodies. Super hyped!

 

[brickarts295]

Gonna do my part and get this game. I've been itching to play some after all the recent hype. But too many games releasing this fall and my PS3 it's on its last legs. I'm praying for Sony to add 3-5 on PS Now.

 

[YianGaruga]

I doubt this will come to Europe, so if you want to import, VGP has it for pre-order with free shipping

80CAD = 54€ = £47

 

[Lyonaz]

Is the business cardholder the same size as a normal bank/creditcard? I would use it for that instead then.

 

[MilkLizard]

you can't pre order the game in europe yet

I did on August 2nd though. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I think it's more damage control from Sega more than anything since they don't want to sabotage the PS4 version sales.

That said, still a day 1 for me, but who are they kidding?

 

[Tizoc]

24 hours after this thread made it is only at 3 pages.
The other Yakuza thread reached 10+ pages in that same time period.

I am concerned....

Also have some god tier bike fu

Looks like it's not coming to PC according to the blog response and that seriously isn't surprising.

I'm mostly digital this generation, and I was expecting to do the same for Yakuza 0, but, hilariously, my wife forced my hand to do the opposite. She doesn't play Yakuza, but avidly watches the soap operatics when I play these games, so she's heavily invested in the adventures of Kiryu. When she found out that one of the physical pre-order bonuses was the business card case, she told me, with no room for negotiation, that I was ordering that, instead of the digital, so she could use that as her business card case when she's at meetings.

She's basically already anticipating 95% of her clients going "Gee whiz, where'd you get that?" and looking forward to the 5% that flip out and go, "Is that Dragon of Dojima on your card case? WTF, THAT'S SO COOL..."

Your wife is the best

 

[Shoeless]

Your wife is the best

She thinks that Silent Hill 2 is one of the greatest videogames ever made, and regularly fuses ridiculously overpowered demons in any SMT or Persona game she plays, so I have to agree with you.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

everyone pre-order this game now!

hype!

Yeah but with this franchise and especially since not only is it Nagoshi's baby but Nagoshi pretty much is one of the bigger honchos of Sega now, it's unlikely this will leave the PlayStation family again.

They tried with WiiU in Japan and it failed miserably. Also part 6 lets Kiryu use an Xperia.
