Been a while >PS2 engine: 2 years - Yakuza 1 and Yakuza 2>Magical V Engine: 3 years - Kenzan, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza: Dead Souls>enhanced Magical V(?): 6 years - Yakuza 5, Ishin, Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise>Dragon Engine: 9 years and counting - Yakuza 6, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Judgement, Yakuza 7, Lost Judgement, The Man Who Erased His Name, Yakuza 8, Pirate Yakuza, Yakuza Kiwami 3/Dark Ties
They were experimenting with Unreal for the Ishin remake. We'll probably see another full engine swap with Yakuza 9 considering we haven't seen a single thing about it yet.
You damn well know the next engine swap will have them switch over to Unreal Engine
Should change genres again to really fuck with people.
>>729139725probably when they finally swap to 9th gen and up only.
>>729139725They peaked in 2012~2015.
>>729139725Technically they did something with the Dragon Engine too considering you can easily split it up into>Original DE6, K2, JE>New Lighting DEJER, 7, LJ, and 8>Gaiden DE7G, 8G, K3There's a very clear visual difference and overhaul from that jump from JE to JER and 7, and then another one from LJ/8 to 7G (Since it came after 8). You can even see this when you compare 8 to 8G. The Gaiden version of the DE has way more light reflecting onto objects like with neon signs that isn't as present in something like 6's night time or 7's.
