>Announced at RGG Summit>More shown and TGSWhyyyyyyyyyyWhy not 3...We just had Ishin too and they ruined that... Now they're definitely ruining Kenzan considering the themes in this game is way more rough nowadays than Ishin was
>>720266130I wonder how they will handle haruka being a prostitute
I hate this samurai shit, I just wat Project Century or whatever it's called and the next mainline Yakuzer entry. The samurai shit isn't comfy at all.
>>720266314I like samurai shit, but I played a lot of Way of the Samurai back in the day.
>>720266130>OH NOOOOO THEY HECKIN RUINED MY PRECIOUS ISHIN WITH LE HECKIN SUMMON CARDS AND CHANGED ACTORS WITHIN REASON BECAUSE OF EXPIRED LICENSING RIGHTS! HECKIN REEEEE
>>720266474More like they censored half of it.
>>720266314it's called stranger than heaven, also yakuza ended at 6 so I'm not sure what you mean by "the next mainline Yakuzer entry"
>>720266474They admitted to censoring it themselves. Everyone knew it was coming, but now that there's been a translation it's pretty irrelevant. People should know by now to stay away from the Kiwami crew.
>>720266130>>Announced at RGG SummitRGG Summit for 2025 isn't till September 24th, for this year?
>>720266643Censoring Kenzan? All I know about Ishin, in terms of removed content, is the post-credits scene with the dad telling his son about Sakamoto at the statuet. played both Japanese and Kiwami versions of Ishin
>4 unannounced games>1 or 2 will be by RGG
>>7202661300 is the only good yakuza game
>>720266727They cut out the tranny jokes, some gay jokes, I believe something with a hooker, and I can't remember what else. Not a very good game either way.
>>720266795Please be Sakura Wars 7
>>720266886Kenzan, you mean? I played the PS3 version for a few hours, couldn't get into it.
>>720266130I'll wait for the fan patch like Ishin got
>>720266920Give us a port at least of the recent one, maybe it becomes a hit on PCGod look at that brown mommy
>>720266964Both. If you played Ishin, the omission of the tranny and faggot are pretty glaring.
>>720266130Wasn't Ishin already sort of Kenzan?
>>720267016I didn't do every single side quest. I also don't lust after trannies/faggots.
is this good or bad? I'm a newfag I just played every pc RGG game this year
>>720267310>Modern RGGYou tell me if it's good or bad
>>720267378Proud owner of a Nyanners Pop Up Parade figure. Pomf =3
>>720267105>i don't lust after trannies or faggots>but I don't want to see trannies or faggots mocked!You probably also don't understand Japanese or are shitposting. Either way, you can be ok with censorship or not and if you're pro-censorship then reddit is thattaway. Fag.
>>720266130You're all wrong.
>>720267378I enjoyed every game in the series even if it was to varying degrees and trending downward overall
>>720266314>The samurai shit isn't comfy at all.running a farm and cooking with haruka is second only to ryukyu for comfy
>>720267820Second only to nothing, more like. Haruka is best daughterfu.
>>720267056kenzan is set in the 1600sishin is in the 1860sif you ever read the james clavell books shogun and gaijin, its those two periods respectively
>>720269820Honestly now, how many people on this board do you expect to have read those books? I haven't. Are they good? Got a link?
>>720270130https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/luminist/EB/C/Clavell%20-%20Shogun.pdfits pretty good, the author was a weeb who was in a japanese pow camp in ww2. he has a pretty good grasp of the japanese mindset so its interesting going back and forth between the western and japanese characters
>>720266643>but now that there's been a translation it's pretty irrelevant.Oh shit, I didn't know someone was making an English patch for the gamehttps://www.tumblr.com/yakuzapatch/774493490631589888/hello-there-been-a-while-wasnt-it-new-fansSeems like they're still working on it.Hopefully the game gets released by the time I'm done playing with the previous entries
>anri thread got deleteddammit
>>720272979based jannies
>>720273019i disagree
wont happen but i really hope they do a straight port of the original kenzan or at worst a light remaster like 3/4/5 but with just extra stuff like high fps, draw distance, etc. like what happened with rdr1. they can put one of those stupid "this game may cause discomfort because current year™" disclaimers at the start of the game if needs must.
>>720273417>at worst a light remaster like 3/4/5 but with just extra stuff like high fps, draw distance, etc.aren't the current pc ports like thatthey're pretty good from what i can remember
>>720267378are you ready for the Kai Cenat and IshowSpeed RGG cameo for yakuza 9?
>>720273085>the girl next to her cracking up at her anticscute
>>720266130Cool, I really liked Ishin and thought it was cool that they are porting over Japan-exclusive games.What's Kenzan?Ishin 2? Or a spin-off in the same setting with a new Kiryu?
>>720266130Kenzan is honestly not that good they'd need to do a full remake to fix its problems
>>720273085Nagoshi-sama plz comeback, yokoyama is gay af
>>720275282Kenzan is the original Yakuza 3Enjoy the 'peak' gameplay
>>720266130interesting timing to remake the child trafficking game, with everything in the news lately.
>>720266130But I want Dead Souls and Kiwami 3
>>720267464No thanks, I prefer it here on 4chan. Much more comfy than Le Heckin Reddit.
>>720266130>Why not 3...Because Kenzan is in absolutely desperate need of one unlike 3.>People who thought 3R had blocking issues have never played Kenzan because it's literally every other attack and you have to delay attacks and always get to enemy backs to deal any damage until way late into the game unless you play on Easy.>You get knocked down to the ground because everyone is constantly stabbing at your back.>Two of the styles (Unarmed and 2H) are unusable since the former can't block 95% of enemies while dealing no damage while the latter locks you to slow moving speed and gets blocked 99.9% of the time to deal worse damage than a single sword slash.>2kat is borderline worthless until you get multiple combo string extensions at which point 1kat becomes 100% useless as a style.>The game is a guide game due to all the missables. Even if it was 100% in English you are only able to do maybe half the content in the game if you aren't following a guide because any mistake in any substory voids Amon, a good third of the substories just disappear as you progress the game, at least half the coin locker keys are either missable or locked due to Gion, and more.>Gion gets arbitrary locked in the final chapter because Musashi is going to go face the final boss meaning all the substories, kakemawari missions, bounties, Gyoutensai's inventions, yuujos, coin locker keys, and minigames are locked from then on.>If you complete Gyoutensai's inventions before his substory unlocks in chapter 13 (Very unlikely) you have permanently missed Amon for that playthrough since you can't start Gyoutensai's substory.>You have to play multiple minigames and complete them just to get basic things like combo string extensions.>You have to go to the monk on the beach every single chapter and play melon cutting to get the boss-specific Heat Action for that chapter.>At least five Heat Actions have exactly one location you can do them in and boss Heat Actions are boss specific.
>>720278001enjoy your pozzed tranny slop then
>>720275282It's the game that came after 2 and their first PS3 game along with their first style-based combat. Ishin was made after 5 and takes a lot of the basis it had from Kenzan and constantly references it even if it gets references wrong like "Gion" in Ishin just being the Suburbs and like a tiny bit into the entrance of Gion. The entire temple area is from Kenzan. The anti-intoxication pills are from it, Komaki's fight is mostly a slowed down version taken from it and Komaki talks about his "Ancestor" doing stuff, etc.Story-wise it's interesting and the areas are some of the series' best, but if it's on the Dragon Engine or something it might make it lose some of its charm because the fact it was this massive open world deal where the areas interconnected instead of just one big city is fairly unique to it and I don't know how well it would work being seamless since the areas are implied to be far apart. Substories are mostly humorous or solid.>>720278351I've already 100%ed it minus a few minigames and there's a translation patch coming out anyway so it's not like the Kiwami matters at the end of the day since it is very likely to be worse.
>>720266130They learned not to use ue, will be fine, I hope. Y9 news? Y8 had such a shit story, like wtf.
>>720266474Ue slop and grind fest, but ok
>>720267007I already own it and beat it 6 times on PS4
>>720266727Kenzan's main story revolves around Haruka selling herself to a brothel to pay for Musashi to kill himself. Now, in the time period this just meant she was essentially being groomed to be a prostitute and was functionally a waitress, not actually servicing johns, so she was just bringing them tea or food while watching the older chicks bang the dudes to learn what they would do later in life. For westerns (Including myself, I didn't really grasp this until a discussion a year or two later) selling yourself to a brothel implies you're actually whoring yourself out or at the very least being sexually trafficked so they'd have to make it very clear that she's not having sex and is just a waitress. I think someone said Goblin Slayer had to deal with this same situation and they just made it clear the younger girls were just waitresses.During the course of the game Haruka is nearly raped once in addition to at least one yuujo substory revolving around one of her underlings having a creepy guy offer to buy her freedom so she can be his girlfriend. Near the end of the main story Haruka also states she's going to stay at the Tsuruya and learn from the whores instead of gaining her freedom so that she can be romantically involved with Musashi when she grows up essentially grooming herself for him too.Webm is the very first cutscene in the game. You can understand why a lot of the main story is going to have to be reworked because of this being the main story.
>>720272979Just how cheap is yakuza? The west doesn't give af if these guys are all famous, no one knows. AFAIK more than half goes to licensing and actors.
>>720274861Nope, 3 will get kiwami and by then the series will get the yakuza 9 reset.
>>720283242>betrothed to an underaged child who is working on becoming a child prostitute??Hope lost.
>>720283242>writing and story in general just keeps getting worseY7, y0?
>>720283275>The west doesn't give af if these guys are all famous, no one knows.The game is made for the Japanese first and foremost. Who cares about the west? Until 8 they never even got a western actor and the two they did in 8 and 8G are basically D-listers. Ishin Kiwami just had portraits of some western wrestlers.>AFAIK more than half goes to licensing and actors.We have no clue how much it costs for any of the games but we know the games have had fairly low budgets until around 7ish which is when you saw a dramatic increase in content, cutscenes, voiced dialogue, pretty much nothing but new animations, and stuff that requires way more effort than normal. The fact that they straight up advertise Sony phones like the Xperia, the Walkman, or all the stores, food, and drinks means they're very likely heavily subsidizing a lot of the cost too.It can't cost that much to get people back considering Kuze, Awano, and Shibusawa have been brought back three times (0, 0 DC, and Ishin Kiwami).
>>720274991The worst part is that there's a good chance of that actually happening.
>>720283328>by then the series will get the yakuza 9 reset.what does this meanfull reboot? back to square Zero(heh)? with kiryu or someone else
>>720282902sucks because of you know japanese history, this is literally how shit was back in the day. rather than starve families would sell their little girls to brothels in hopes of a better life, and this is what would go down.
>>720283508Is he the guy that's responsible for y8? Then it's fucked.>full of himselfThat's old yellow guy for you>>720283530So they pay brands or the other way around? I once worked with a game dev and they wanted to use real cars, tanks and guns and it was impossible to pay. >I forgot which guy was interviewed, afaik the guy who was excited about k3, but there he said that half of the budget goes to actors and licenses. Y7 was 10? million?
>>720283614Apparently no kiryu and no ichiban. Hard to believe them anything, before we know facts. Every interview is just there to keep people interested in the brand.
>>720284089That happened pretty much anywhere. Children were basically tender, even in medieval europe.
After how much I disliked Ishin, I have zero interest in this.
Great, I guess ruining 1, 2 and Ishin with dogshit remakes wasn't enough. Just port the fucking originals, Retard Go Gotoku.
>>720284536I mean, 2 was a downgrade, sure, but it's better than having no yakuza 2 game. I played k2 first, loved it, then I saw what they took from me. Are they insane!?
>>720284314>Is he the guy that's responsible for y8?Yes. That's him.The reason Kiryu even looks the way he does in Y8 is BECAUSE Yokoyama, the current director, got a haircut and decided to just give Kiryu the same hairdo he just had IRL around that time and basically self insert himself as Kiryu.
>>720284314We don't know how the situation works, but look at how many real life brands they have.>Basically all the stores and restaurants are real ones outside of Poppo and M-Store (7-11 and Family Mart if I remember right, might be flipped).>For the first 5 mainline games + Dead Souls when you bought alcohol from a bar the bartender straight up went into a special focused cutscene that advertised it to you.>The darts machines are the real ones used in bars.>The pachinko machines are the real ones used in parlors.>Don Quijote has its licensed song that plays as you are in and near its store and was even used in Ishin when it wouldn't even really be advertising at that point.>Pixiv and NicoNico had advertisements on the bus station stops for multiple games in the PS3 era.>0 had the entire Walkman collaboration which included an in-game one you could use to play karaoke songs.>6 and K2 had a collaboration with Sony Xperia which included giant posters on top of buildings and the pause menu being it.>Black Panther 2 actively advertises real life clothing brands.>Everything PepsiCo sells is available in stores.>8 had countless real life Hawaiian stores like that license plate clothing one and even had real life advertising at said stores.and on and on. There's no way they're personally paying for this stuff, they have to have some sort of deal with the restaurants and companies to functionally use it as free advertisement. Maybe 1 and 2 they had to pay but there's no way at this point.
>>720284356>>720284634>Cucked kiryu>throw him away lmaoooooooooshould've left him alone after 6 baka
>game without it's original creator Irrelevant.
>you won't be able to beat up trannies and slice their throats with heat moves in kenzan anymorei'm sure they'll just add a new side mission instead where you support them with their gender transitioning however, lol ! ! !
>>720282902>Goblin SlayerGoblin rape manga
>>720284634Disgusting. A dev or producer in general should never put himself over the consumer, yet, here we are.
>>720284709>some sort of deal with the restaurantsMaybe money flows in both directions, like we give you funding, you give us exposure and interest.>>720284797Y8 was the worst installment, even worse than 4,5,6, even worse than their lowest parts.
>>720285875it will only keep on getting worse from here on until they either go bankrupt or decide to just reset the entire franchise (at which point none of the fans should even give a damn about it)
>>720285541lol can you imagine if there was a beloved character in yakuza that was a tranny that would be like SOOOOO woke lmao
>>720266130if its unreal engine sloppa I’ll pass
>>720287078>being a disingenuous retardfuck off back to r/yakuzagames
>>720286317>point none of the fans should even give a damn about it)I think more fans will enter than leave, but the grave msistakte companies made is to believe this false equivalence. Not the amount of fans is important, but their dedication.Let's see if they dare to reset 9. Apparently neither brawler nor dragon quest clone. Sega gave them a shit load of money recently.
>>720287437Crazy. You'd think they would stick with DQ for at least a few more games but damnI guess it's just ichi's thing and if it's true then he's gone
>>720287437>neither brawler nor dragon quest clonewhat the fuck is it going to be then?third person, open world shooter???
>>720287537a renpy weg
>Sega will never just fucking port Kenzan and fuck it upPiss off.
>>720287520We will see. Can't trust anything they say. I doubt anything else is better than turnbased. It really helped them. Y7 is an excellent game, despite relevant shortcomings. Y8 plays like any modern rpg.>>720287537Movie game? Idk, I doubt they will improve it. Brawler works fine for yakuza, so does tb.
>>720287537Underworld Drifting Racing Game imagine initial D but with "Yakuza"Instead of turn based fights you compete in races for your gang/family
Which cast of characters from the modern games should we expect to be in the Kenzan remake?They had Kuze and all the other old fucks from Y0 as well as characters from Y7 in Isshin, so you know 100% they will do that here too and replace a bunch.
>>720287807but at that point it's not even the same thing you started playing the game series to begin for anymore...
>>720287827
>>720278001Its like they went out of their way to make the game as bad as possible, what the FUCK were they thinking?!
>>720288015is he going to be one of the gay child prostitutes?
>>720288241He's going to be Tokugawa's boy lover.
>>720266130Thank God, I was losing hope I'd ever be able to play it unless I spent years upon years of becoming fluent in Japanese
>>720288339PSPgames whereDEADSOULS WHEREWould they be the only games missing now
>>720289057They told us there's no plans to bring BP over like a year or two back, and Dead Souls shelfwarmed on release so I doubt they will ever remaster that. A remake to play more like Binary Domain would be cool but I don't see them putting in the effort.
