Yakuza team livestream & announcements [Discussion]
-
Yeah, we already know about the Yakuza 2 Kiwami leak - but they're supposed to have more stuff to announce, including maybe Yakuza 7 or a new game of some kind?
Here's the link. Should be around 3am PST. I'll probably be up.

Am I crazy, or has all things Yakuza just exploded into popularity this year?
-
@WarpDogsVG
I noticed that too, and I'm glad for.
3am pst, so like 6am est.......do I need sleep?
-
Five in the morning. Do I...really want to do this? OH DANG
-
@parasitepaladin
My thoughts as well....then again I don't have work tomorrow (unless someone else decides to up and quit)
-
@TokyoSlim Maaaan, I didn't know if I'd stay up past 2am tonight, but now I will!
-
The crazy thing is that Yakuza is such a small series, sales wise. Yakuza Zero is legit my game of the year, and I'm not sure that it's even cracked a million copies worldwide yet. It sold ~500k copies in Asia before the western release and even though we on the forums and etc are all nuts about this game - it's still not exactly mainstream . Makes me happy though that so many people are finally discovering how fun it is. Streaming and etc. seems to really be making a difference.
One hour and fifteen min to go fellas!

@TokyoSlim
I've been making a habit of streaming the Japanese version of 0 onwards when it lets you, seeing as you have to beat the games first in order to stream anything. Something im glad Sega America got rid of.
Although i do need to finish Ishin at some point.
-
Should be starting soon
-
New cutscenes for Majima, involving Makoto from 0, Scratch that Majima is playable.
SiM that band doing the opening theme are possibly in the game, and the lead singer is apparently a big fan, having reached out to be in the game.
Nagoshi holding some Q&A with the actors from 2.
Releasing December 7, Standard and Deluxe edition. 2 Yakima themed PS4s
Either there is new story content across the board, or the protagonist for 7 was just shown.
Yakuza Online announced....for smartphone.
OK he's the protagonist of the online game
The purple suit guy is related to Makoto? Think I misheard that one.
Yakuza online launches next year.
FIST OF THE FUCKING NORTH STAR?
Fist of the North Star in the mold of Yakuza.......what am I watching?
Kiryu to voice Kenshiro in North Star
Kiwami 2 and North Star to be at TGS, North Star for 2018, PS4 exclusive it seems
And finished
-
Worth staying up for that.
-
-
Surprise MFer!
-
@DMCMaster What is Fist of the North Star?
-
@ACardAttack
Imagine the bastard child of Bruce Lee and Mad Max wandering a apost- apocalyptic ruins, kicking the ass of anyone who dares cross him.
-
-
@TokyoSlim it is objectively incorrect to introduce Fist of the North Star through words, it must be done through video
(I haven't actually seen the anime, but what I've seen ... my god)
-
Kiwami 2 looks soooooooo good.
And the Fist of the North Star news is a great surprise that makes me happy.
-
I dont even like Fist of the North Star but I'm really interested to see it made by Yakuza Team
-
@bard91 That's probably true and I apologize profusely for my indiscretion. It was like 4am and I'd been up for 22 hours, mostly at work. Please find it in your heart to forgive me, all of you!
That being said, I did just read the perfect summation of FotNS on Gaf:
Fist of the North Star is about a man made of pure muscle wandering the post-apocalyptic wastelands of the future, saving people from evil muscle dudes using Hokuto Shinken, a martial art that causes people to explode by being punched.
It's the dumbest awesomest shit.
