Multiplayer: For people in the west, Sega's "Yakuza" series has long been more than just a surprisingly deep brawler set within Japan's mafia scene. No, most people here in the states treat the game as a virtual tour of everyday Japanese life.
Looks like Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have something in the oven to celebrate the anniversary of the Like a Dragon / Yakuza franchise.
Geez, don't we already have two or three games coming out soon? Anyway, more Yakuza games are always good.
Includes Yakuza: Like A Dragon and the entire Kazuma Kiryu saga.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
Cultured Vultures: Ash has a massive backlog of games, lovingly dubbed the Pile of Shame, but its existence is beginning to become bothersome.
Well this year Japan-o-philes, you have very little to worry about.
After speaking with Patrick Riley, localization's Senior Producer for "Yakuza 4," he assured me that very little of the content seen in Japan will be omitted from its release stateside.
"The only thing we're not including are some bits that feature Japanese trivia," he tells me. "That stuff's just too obscure to include. And yes, you will see hostess bars."

Well.........
That's great, I think.
