N4GAddict6087d ago

I'm praying for Legend of Dragoon 2.

ultimolu6087d ago

Yeah! :D

I hope the 3rd one comes here.

STARS6087d ago

That's awesome news for fans of the series in the Far East. Too bad we'll probably never see a localized version of Yakuza 3 here in the West, damn you SEGA. =/

cmrbe6087d ago

West Next year. Y3 that is.

SpaceSquirrel6087d ago

Hopefully, Sega will bring Kenzan and 4 as well.

STARS6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

Wicked, thanks man. I didn't realize it was actually gonna make it over here. Bubbles to you for the info. And I agree, Squirrel. Hopefully people out here show enough interest in the game and give SEGA the heads-up to localize 4 and Kenzan as well.

cmrbe6087d ago

a couple of days ago which is excellent news.

mastiffchild6087d ago

What gets me is that they pushed Madworld and The Conduit so hard on the Wii-had poor sales-then said they'd continue that support. While that's great(and I really loved Madworld)it still makes no sense when they've NEVEr done the same on PS2 or 3 for a Yakuza game in the west.

How are they going to localize Y3? I'd be happy with just a patch for subtitles which would keep the price down for Seha and might even allow for a Y3/Kenzan dual release and with a push that could REALLY set up Y4 as a game to look forward to in the west.

I loved the first two games but they weren't properly released or stocked that well in the UK so when Sega moan about low sales I just don't get it-why have they always released so late and with so little marketing? Yakuza has NEVER had any kind of chance in the west and if they keep releasing so far after the fact in the west it'll remain that way-unless they do an amazing offer with Y3 and Kenzan! on the same disc. The series desernes a lot better, imo.

Still, great that it's finally coming as we always thoughtit would if we moaned enough!

Uzesgelen_Goo6087d ago

I already own all these digital+physical.So good to see more people will get to enjoy them.

Wonder why Fist of North Star isnt being added

italiangamer1397d ago

Because it's not a Yakuza game, simple as that.

CrimsonWing691397d ago

Yep, licensing fees and whatnot.

RpgSama1397d ago

So excited about the next Yakuza Like a Dragon I enjoyed that game much more than I thought K would have, went and got the platinum and everything.

IMissJimRyan1397d ago

Yeah. I played them on GamePass, but it's good to others play those games.

Mobis-New-Nest1396d ago

I'm still wondering why Horizon Forbidden West Delux Edition hasn't been added yet. Still hopeful it might get added in September 2022. Come Sony, do the smart business move and add all your first party games Day 1 on PlayStation Plus Premium.

mkis0071396d ago (Edited 1396d ago )

How is that smart? you just admitted to want to spend $18 for one month whenever a game comes out rather than $70 per game? Their sales are perfectly fine so low sales isn't a valid reason. Relying on subscription numbers is a losing game. You can't guarantee enough people will sub. 20 million subs doesn't beat 10 million copies sold at $30. (my average of the cost of a game over 3 years) For one game you make 300 million vs for the sub plan at 20 million paying 10 dollars a month (200 million) you have to pay out to all those developers before you can even count your money.

No chance it comes to plus plus this year. It will come when sales die down.

SeTTriP1396d ago

This is a dumb idea for a franchise thats almost certain to hit 10mil lifetime.they would lose 10's if not a hundred million dollars.

Two years from now when the horizons, ghost and gow's do come to the service xbox might be in trouble.they have nothing to compete with this line even years down the line.

Its called strategy.

SeTTriP1396d ago

I just brought judgement the game is great don't know how I missed it so now I'm planning on buying all the yakuza games so this is great for me.

It's early days but this new service is looking better and better. The full Yakuza series! And with the monthly games this month too. Fantastic month

Muigi1397d ago

Never played any of them, good excuse now to try these out.

SegaSaturn6691397d ago

That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
