He couldn't handle the mogging
>>738708531Oh its dead dead thenF
It's kind of pathetic that Nagoshi refuses to acknowledge the situation or give any kind of update. He used to tweet every week and now he hasn't posted once in four months. I wonder if he'll kill himself
F
It's a good thing that the Stranger Than Heaven had a kind of rejuvenating effect.After Kiwami 3 was a pile of shit and it became clear that Gang of Dragon wasn't happening, I was starting to feel really pessimistic about the future of RGG and RGG-adjacent shit.
>>738708885*Stranger Than Heaven trailer
>>738708531KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i love watching these delusional nip hacks getting a reality check
>>738708531Total chigyu victory
Do I have to play the other Yakuza games to play and understand Stranger than Heaven?
>>738708992The director says STH has barely any connection to the Yakuza games. It'll probably be like Judgment where it takes place in the same universe but all the characters and events are unrelated
>>738708992Not likely. With the game spanning 50 years and ending in 1965, at most you might get some small cameos of characters that were already old by the time of Yakuza 0 in the late 80s.The main character of StH has only been vaguely alluded to in existing games. The series has never actually made it a point to flesh out the history of the Tojo Clan until now.
Maybe Komaki will show up at some point for a cameo.
>>738708531How does a game get cancelled so soon after its reveal?
GHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhttps://nagoshistudio.com/https://nagoshistudio.com/https://nagoshistudio.com/
>>738708531kind of a shame, would've been nice to see a Nagoshi not-yakuza outside of RGG to compare and contrast but sadly he signed on with Tencent.
>>738709462Because the reveal was actually just a marketing pitch for potential investors
>Stranger than Heaven>S>t>HThe timeline matches up. Gerald Robotnik cameo confirmed.
>>738708531>Yakuza>but with a fat korean actor as MCBesides star power, what was the actual plan here? There was no way it was going to sell more than the average yakuza title. People are plenty familiar with what Nagoshi's style is at this point, and nobody in their right minds would think he'd be able to pull a Kojima.It was a miracle he got funding at all.
What happened exactly? Can I get a recap, I didn't pay attention to what Nagoshi did under Tencent.
>>738713218China betrayed the boss
Imagine spending all that China money on a fat Korean instead of Snoop Dogg and Ado.And then running out of money.
>>738713218needed more money to finish the game and got turned down
>>738713218Nothing happened reallyNetease invested 40milly into Nagoshi & his new studio to develop the gameNagoshi (rumors say he is a very naughty spender) needed another 44milly to finish the game, finally revealed what was pretty much a WIP of a gameNetease pulled outNagoshi pulls plug on studio
But Nagashi is supposed to be the badass driving force behind the series. Did the fat gook protag turn everyone off?
>>738708702Asian old men are like that. They go seppuku once face is lost.>>738708531Rgg will follow. No way snoop dogg will be a commercial hit. Another failure in sega's library.
>>738713345People finally realized yakuza was profitable because they kept reusing assets and released a new low effort title every year or so.Nagoshi wasn't the silver bullet tencent thought he was.
>>738713362>Rgg will follow. No way snoop dogg will be a commercial hit. Another failure in sega's library.Stranger Than Heaven's new trailer has views in the millions. No previous RGG game has had this kind of pre-release momentum. The game would have to turn out to be a shit pile like Kiwami 3 for it to not be a big success relative to the typical Sega game.
>>738708531Didn't he kinda bring back his YT channel or something after shutting it down before? Now he shut down again? KWAB
Oh wellTime to let anything kuza related just die then. I'm not giving RGG my money after the garbage they put out for years now.
>>738712959What star power exactly? It's just some korean fat actor nobody knows.
>>738713656/tv/ would probably disagree. he's a fairly big deal in some circles, but not to people who would buy a yakuza knockoff, and he's definitely not a face that would sell a brand new IP to anyone.
>>738713521It's from same dev as Kiwami 3 so sky high chance of it.
>>738713656nah he's kino
>>738708531Puyopuyo won
The Steam page is still there...Take down where?
>>738708531Jesus, dude outinafuned Inafune.
>>738713753What are you, retarded? Do you honestly believe that everyone in the studio was working on both games? That they were switching between projects every other day or something?
>>738708531>after Stranger Than Heaven Trailer debutthat was a year and a half ago
>>738714564My ESL friend, "trailer debut" and "debut trailer" do not mean the same thing.I'm sorry for your reading comprehension.
>>738713521The game had massive marketing and the highest cost ever for rgg. They need millions in the first week and I don't see hat happening. Views in the millions don't translate to earning millions first day. People disliked pirate and k3 and will remember that.
>>738714237That has nothing to do with it. Yakuza has a string community and rgg ripped them off with k3. I replayed y3 and wanted to buy first day. I was clever enough to wait for a week after release and didn't buy. It's a shit game and a demaster. Y3 is the much better game.
>>738714663>People disliked pirate and k3 and will remember that.Yeah they'll think "I want something different" and this appears to be something different.
Nagoshis game looked like some shitty shooter straight from early PS3 years, good riddance
>>738713521It has 1.4m the same amount the yakuza TV show has. The TV show was a resounding success, wasn't it?
Always pirate rather than buying. I'm a pureblood pirate. The only thing I've spent money buying when I can pirate is...music.
>>738708531I hope he can move forward with the project. We need new projects and new ideas, even if they are based on something that already exists.
>>738714862No, we don't need NagoSHIT.
That's what you get for alienating your fanbase.Dont mess with chigyus.
>>738714862nah we dont need more scam devs
>>738708531I wish Nagoshi bros had the same type of enthusiasm as Kojima schizos, and started making a theory about on how this alludes to him returning to SEGA
lollmao
>>738714920ask the snyder cut schizos to join the clan
>>738709042I wonder if there will be this typical wild absurd humor in side stories.
>>738708531The twitter account is still up but not updated since February. Nagoshi's personal account hasn't posted since January.
Surely this project had a ton of work put into it right? Cant he just sell it to someone? how does this work?
>>738713362>Rgg will follow.The series has been at its peak of popularity for a decade now, and refreshes like this tend to do well.
>>738715218it requires someone to buy and invest more money into it to finish, which he's been trying to do already
>>738713656He's big in China, which was the market they're aiming for. Anyone should be aiming for China at this point, all they do is CONSOOOOOOOM.

>>738714920I'm at least a well wisher for the devs that left Sega to join him to have something to fall back on.
>>738715180he looked way better back then
>>738715180The guy who ereased his nam... Trailers. Had face surgery, too.>>738714920We are on to something.
>>738714920Nah he left sega on extremely bad terms due to the puyo incident.He's probably going to take a bad yakuza loan like his dad and then when that fails to fund the game he will likely kill himself.
>>738715378Game devs are such hacks
>>738715378I still can't get over the extremely fake looking teeth. I'd be embarrassed to open my mouth
stranger than heaven is looking kino as fuck, so at least we have that. Surely that cant disappoint, right?
>>738714920Yakuzafags generally aren't funny enough to do the schizobit for several years
>>738715442>>738715442On a scale of Ishin remake to Yazuza 0, i hope it's at least a Yakuza 7
>>738715180>>738715378How do you go from looking like a smooth chad rock star to a literal chud wojak AFTER plastic surgery?
>>738715506Bogging
>>738715335>>nagoshit starts thinking monkey ball and puyo puyo are kiddy shit, starts also whining yakuza is becoming too kiddy and wants to be a LE SERIOUS GAYMI mean, he was right. Yakuza had basically been a J-Drama as a game with overtly silly things on the periphery, but still taking itself seriously. Contrast Majima before and after Kiwami.
>>738715467to be fair somehow the kojimbers back then had a venn diagram near-circle overlap with oldfag silent hill fags, which meant this caliber of schizophrenia was just natural to them even when zoomies started to dilute the fanbase
>>738715335He was right about Switch/Nintendo platform being shit for the series, doe
>>738715335>chinks basically tell him (and a few other washed up race traitors) to wrap it up because funding is getting cutalso iirc suda's company was also under netease and just managed to release a game before the pullout announcementso i guess nagoshi doing jackshit must be legit
>>738715651Suda's game was pretty phoned in, whereas Nagoshi wanted to make Yakuza from first principles, without the huge back catalog of assets that all modern Yakuza games have.
>>738715651>>738715335Can't a brother buy rolex's and airforces without getting CHINK'd... GOSH...
>>738715423>puyo incidentQrd>>738715437Plenty of people use that 10k option.
Why do people care so much about this guy failing to make a new game to the point of making threads about it nonstop? Explain me the hate.
>>738715467Reverse? Can't follow half of it. It's like the hidden mgs logo in ds1.
>>738715693He had 44m usd. Hlhe had 5 years. He could've released already.
>>738715791>making threads about it nonstop?this is the first nagoshi thread i noticed throughout the week so far
>>738715803The idea was this.>Reversing the poster gives you the "XOF" version>Death Stranding is the "XOF" of PT>"DS" reversed is "SD">PT + "SD" = PTSD, which is what Venom Snake suffers from in MGSV, resulting in various schizophrenic delusionsIt was fucking dumb
>>738715701>expensive watches and shoesi wonder if some anons buy these things or is it just the luxury meme that normalfags follow
>>738715862For a Yakuza like game being made from scratch, 44 million is quite literally nothing. Most games today are made for at least 100 million.Sure, it could've been done, but what was promised and what everyone expected was an experience on par with where he had left off with Yakuza, and for comparison, Yakuza 1, back in 2005, had a budget of around 22 million, half that of what Nagoshi was given.
>>738715378He genuinely looked happier when he was making super monkey ball too.
>>738715925its sub-human behavior, nogs do this
>>738715335>>nagoshit starts thinking monkey ball and puyo puyo are kiddy shit, starts also whining yakuza is becoming too kiddy and wants to be a LE SERIOUS GAYMHe's correct. Yakuza is fucking retarded nowadays.>>RGG has to pick back up from the scraps and manage to build something outNothing but a joke pandering to western ecelebs and zoomers while shitting up remakes that remove things to "adapt to the modern audience">>meanwhile, nagoshit sells his soul to chinksJapanese companies are currently selling their souls to jews.>>he proceeds to do jack shit dev wise, he wastes a fuckload of money on JAV whores and literal plastic surgeryRetaded but based.
>>738715984based retard
>>738715867Most of the time I lurk here I see a thread mocking that game and how it's failing. I basically learned most about it from the catalog alone.
in all seriousnessi wonder what kind of game it would be, because it being GTA but with yakuza just feels mediocre on paper
>>738716106probably some semi open world movie game, doubt it had much in the tank
>>738716106You're giving him too much credit. In all likelihood, it would've been a yakuza game with kiryu's model swapped out for ma dong seok.
On Nagoshi vs Sega and the Yakuza domestic dispute;Nagoshi is spiritually correct that Yakuza lost its way. HOWEVERSega is objectively correct in a majority of the business decisions being made for Yakuza to actually maximize franchise success internationally. Bitch and moan about it all you want, but this is just smart business practices.
should've just made a sleeping dogs-like game instead of gta-clone desu
>>738708923>KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i love watching these delusional nip hacks getting a reality check
>>738708531>Trusting the Chinks not to con you as a Japanese
>>738713748Yeah and everyone knew Peter Dicklage in Destiny and he sucked ass and Spark. No ody gives a fuck about actors in video games. It's a cash grab by actors and directors like Kimona and apparently the Yakuza guy too, are HACKS. NOBODY FIVES A FUCK ABOUT ACOTRS IN VIDEO GAMES!!!!!! Plus he's a shitty one too. Look how successful his movies are since 2020. Just cash grab shit is all he does and these companies fall for this meme of hiring a "real" actor when literal WHO'S OFF THE STRET could do better VA than modern actors.
Next RGG summit will have Nagoshi storming the RGG studio commit murder suicide live on stream
>>738715321Nagoshi had his finger right on the pulse of success with that move, considering China saved Kodaka from going homeless last year.
>>738716295>ompanies fall for this meme of hiring a "real" actor when literal WHO'S OFF THE STRET could do better VA than modern actors.nta but i'm starting to notice, literally who actors get more recognition in gaming vs hollywood actors getting video game gigs
>haha get fucked you should have bowed to the jews and work on the pozzed yakuza chungus insteadNagoshi was right to fuck off.
>>738716471>bowed to the jews of Asia instead
>>738709726>>S>>t>>Hstraight to hell
>>738716471They ended up working on something that looks infinitely better than gang of dragon though. Stranger of paradise looks great while nagoshi's game just looked like yakuza but slightly more violent. Of course we're only talking about trailers but there's a night and day difference there.
>>738709726>Makoto>Yu>OrpheusYou'll never see it coming
I feel like a lot of Stranger than Heaven talk is gonna go the same way that Infinite Wealth went. Hugely successful game but everyone mostly forgets about it after a month and then it gets shit on until the end of time. will probably have some reveal that that Tojo clan head is Kiryu's dad and also immortal, but eh
>>738715714>is on a puyo puyo esports stream>clearing doesn't want to be there>says "he seems like the type that eat cheese gyodon" when asked to comment on one of the players>didn't actually say anything bad per se>but that's clearly referring to the chigyu meme, the Japanese equivalent to the chudjack/basedjack>the chigyus are angry>is forced to apologize later>makes it sound reallly half assed so chigyus are even angrier>is demoted from basically the top of sega to some random creative director>quits, probably because he was poached by the chinks either right before or after the demotion happened.
>>738716532>bowed to the only people that aren't controlled by kikesYeah. And?
>>738716471Nigga, making le srs bsns subversive slop is literally what jews want.You're just one of many retards that got into the series because "it heckin took itself srs despite the comedy" to self gaslight into thinking the game was not "too japanese".Then reality hit you in the face and reminded you it is indeed japanese.You're the exact same as retards that refuse to accept rollslop from FROM is a literal JRPG.
>>738716731Kek he was based
>>738716769>he doesn't know
>>738715791nagoshifags are literally the snydertards of jp vidya>>738708923nagoshi and similar retards are hardly japanese anymore, they are spiritually shitskinsand just like shitskins you can give them millions and half a decade of dev time and you will get mediocrity in return, assuming you get anything at all backnagoshi could get another 5 years for a full decade and another 50 million and he would still shit out a game worse than kiwami 3 in 2031 because he would waste even more money and time on botched plastic surgery
>>738716769>*Stops funding your JAV game*what now gweilo?
>>738716731More like he was demoted because he spent billions on the Sakura Wars IP revival.
>>738716769chang...
>>738716805>ecelebs everywhere and removing everything not transfriendly while turning everything quirky chungus is full japanese all the time broEat shit, revisionist casual.
>>738708531Looks better than Niggaz In Japan, too bad they fucked it up.Bonus point for using a korean and not a mutt
>>738716965Kim....
>>738716731What a way to lose your job.
>>738716910oh yeah i remember the nips were complaining that he overworked the staff during SW's development
So let me try to understand this right>made fun of fat esport nerfs on live>refused to apologize >got demoted by that>got tired of Sega trying to make his franchise too westernized by forcing literal whos ecelebs on it and double down on the reddit humor >fucked off to the only place where they don't let wokeslop happen>get a ton of money>wastes everything on drinks and fucking JAV babes>get broke, game fails and chinks boots his ass>still manages to go around looking like Bogdanoff's cousin and scoring because his charisma makes him look important >will manage to make his way back to get more money to fuck JAV babesSorry but this absolute CHAD looks BASED AS FUCK to me and I hope he succeeds at life.
>>738715791He's king of incompetence
>>738716917>>738717005Rabbi...
>>738717154It's much more than that, anons just like to meme that it was solely this esports nonsense.
>>738717154>fucked off to the only place where they don't let wokeslop happenlolno, he fucked off exactly to one of the big sources of wokeslop while mocking japan for not embracing globalist or chink values (both chinks and jews are identical)
>>738716403Just becasue your a "famous" actor does not mean YOU CAN DO VA. These nepo babies in these industries are just glazing for a chance to be reconginzed like hollywood when game devs and writers NEVER WILL. Look what happened to Niel Duckfaggot when he went to the golden globe awards and got ignored. These people are just failed normies. Desperate for attention. Now does that mean all actors suck at VA? No, some of them are alright when they did the radio, but at the cost of trying to hire a pro actor who charges like $500 for a 10 sec clip (not that I blame them trying to get money after covid) it just cash grab for them. They dont see the role as "worthy" of putting a lot of effort if at all. Peter Dicklage made me realize that becasue his perfomrance in Destany littearlly took me out of the game I had to mute it, he fucking sucked so much. But the price point for a actor vs some random literal who is crazy. We could be talking to a few hundred of thousands vs chump change here.Just listen to this LITERAL WHO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVekJTmtwqM that was a professor for the band and they asked him to read this script.Then compare to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1aZwC3WAAM where he clearly doesnt even give a fuck about this script and is just reading the lines. Sure the script and lines could be better written but at least the 2nd guy that replaced him had more emotion.
>>738716681Was IW that successful. I figured a lot of people like me who never fished (or played) the previous entry would have skipped it
>>738717214can't fool mei fucking kikes and chinks
>>738717257>>738716403Forgot to mention that I typically dont listen to lyrics but I was a /tv/ fag with the best taste but when I do listen to lyrics, it means you're actually good. Which is very rare. I personanly couldnt care too much about VA's, they just want to be famous like translators, just look at what the Bayonetta VA did lol.
>>738717243Show me chinese lgbtroon
>>738715180>>738715378His post surgery face ironically looks more chigyu than his original look.
>>738717361>It's fine things pandering to ME are safehorny kosher goyslop with zero substance as long as there's no troons.You fell for it so easily like a good goy lmao.Meanwhile all sega has to do to make yakuza near perfect again is just removing the troons or adding back the jokes mocking them, which they might given the USAID money dried up.
>>738717465Do as I asked, retard. Show me chinese lgbt propaganda. Also go and show me chinese racemix propaganda too. And uglification of female standards too. And chinese feminist too. And white antagonism. Go on, you giga retard nigger. Do it.you can't
>>738715948Except for e33 which was made in France for 10m usd.
>>738717804Ssh, don't mention E33 and how it was made. It makes people mad
>>738715948How much was the budget for y2 and 3 and the spinoff and the psp spin off? They all leeched from the 21m.>gta saHad 10 million and is objectively the better output.44 million is more than enough to make a yakuza game. He fucked up big league. Pretty sure the Korean guy got 10 million. Unnecessary expense.
>>738717241Wasn't there also the expensive dinners paid by Sony, basically bribing him to avoid making games for the switch?
>>738718015Yes but nagoshitards love omitting those details.
>>738717154I think there's a ton of bad blood that happened behind closed doors (it was pretty much an open secret that he never fully agreed with how Sega supported/dictated the Yakuza series after 2), and there was that whole mess with Sakura WarsAs is usually the case, this is less about ideology and more about money; Sega thought he was a liability, he thought he could get a better deal, and everything shakes out after that fact
>>738716173We need sleeping dogs in new.
>>738716731>forced to apologize laterJapan should've never opened up
So will he come back to Sega now?
>>738716910That game was kind of crazy in how much wasted potential it had, also it could probably have a second wind if they just released it on PC instead of condemning it to PS4 prison.
>>738716769Kek, fell for psyops eh
>>738717154>will manage to make his way back to get more money to fuck JAV babesHelp improve our encyclopedia
I hope the lighting from strangers trailer is not the final one. Looks fucking awful, same overblown contrast as pirate yakuza and that game looked liie fucking shit. RGG stop fucking around with the filters you fucking retards
>>738717939Sry, 44m is enough to ship. He could've went with dlcs or kickstarter or or or
>>738718917>PC insteadas that other anon mentioned, he went multiple times with snoy execs out eating during the sakura wars bullshitthe gacha massively flopping caused Sega to boot his ass out
>>738719034I mean now, that game is like a decade old right?
If Platinum Games and Kojima Studio can start from scratch and make it, then there's no reason Nagoshi couldn't do the same. He's just bad at managing money.
Any Yakuza games where you are actually the bad guy?
>>738719114Nagoshi didn't know how to start from scratch anymore. The man was reliant on having 20 something years of assets to work with and UE5's asset packs aren't enough to make up for that.
>>738719134You mean yakuza but not RGG?Play Daiakuji I guess.
>>738708531With Stranger than Heaven blowing up like it did this game would have been a great counterpart. People seemed pretty positive about what was shown.We could have had two cakes. Shame.
>>738719224>People seemed pretty positive about what was shown.
>>738715547and then he went on to make Judgement, which is literally a JDrama slop featuring Takuya Kimura
>>738717154You have a weird fantasy anon, imagining your favorite game developer fuckings your favorite porn star.
>>738719224I thought cars and shooting was a retarded idea from day 1Yakuza is not a GTA and I prefer it remained that way
>>738719224Nagoshi should have had far more than the equivalent of a concept/teaser trailer to show off at The Game Awards. The fact that all he had was that shows that the game's development is still early on.
>>738717154He is a larp though, he used to look like a typical nerd game dev before working on YakuzaAfter Yakuza he reverse self-inserted himself and started doing weird shit to his face (while still remaining lanky)
>>738719224A cake from Nagoshi would be under baked.
>>738719286>grok, generate some UE5 looking gameplay of an off-brand yakuza game with a fatso gook as the main character
>>738715651Grasshopper devs are paid by potato chips, it can survive just fine. Can't say the same with Nagoshi's.
>>738720445wait, do they get their salary from potato chips or do they get paid based on the amount of potato chips they sell
>>738718015>>738718102why is that bad though
Chiguys fucking won.Arle's Crossworld festival is just around the corner and her new game sega worked on for three years is coming out this year.
>>738719114>Platinum GamesFucking died horribly, I don't know what you're talking about here.They managed to get out about two whole hits, and one had the backing of Nintendo while the other was bankrolled by Square Enix.>Kojima StudioHe was reliant on infinite Sony money for several years. Even now he's taking lucrative deals with Microsoft.You can't really compare either of them to Nagoshi because the comparison would only exist if Nintendo/SE/Sony randomly pulled funding from their projects- which did happen in the case of Platinum Games. Kamiya's biggest dream project got unceremoniously shut down by Microsoft and it nearly killed the company altogether. If they didn't have Nier Automata money, they likely would've been eaten up earlier than they actually were.
>Stranger Than Heaven >Highguard>The Wonder Woman Gameare the Game Awards cursed or something
>>738709568>spend millions of dollars on the VGA spotlight trailer so he could get investors to give him millions of dollarsSasuga Nagoshi!
>>738722271>Stranger Than HeavenThis is a different game, the one you are thinking is Gang of Dragon.
>>738715180He actually looked like a normal guy?
>>738708531Okay poojeet
>>738722416He made so many Yakuza games he eventually started larping as one.
>>738715335You forgot the "nuclear holocausting Sakura wars revival and losing sega billions" part.

>>738713329>I know it's a lot but I need 40 million for this game>ok>hey it's years later, how's it going?>I need another 44 million to finish this gameHow the fuck can he not be sued for this kind of scam?
don't care about nagoshishitting on chigyus is based
Wish someone would give me 40 millions to make one cg trailer and a bunch of ai generated screenshots
>>738722217>fucking died horribly.You're not from this timeline then, Platinum got far more than 2 games. Thhey might collapse without Kamiya in charge, but they did a lot in their time in this world.
>>738723441Platinum is currently biting the AI and GAAS bullet, so they're done.
>shitting on chigyus is based
>>738723251>chigyus>all they need to be happy is cheese gyudon and puyo puyo>body dysphoria fags like nagoshi>never happy no matter what
>>738708531I still assume Stranger Than Heaven will be as shitty as Pirate Yakuza and Kiwami 3. They haven't shown anything that changed my mind. GOD was a last chance to have the Lost Judgement guy make another game that fun. It also wasn't clear exactly how it would play, but Nagoshi has a much better track record.
>>738714663>>738713753you niggas are insane, this game is going to sell great for RGG unless some catastrophicly pozzed shit comes out before launcht. Y3K skipper, buying this day one
>>738723765I cant talk about the final product but so far they seem to be aiming for a gritty story without the late retarded humor.Im sure they wont help themselves from adding some wacky sidequests but the main story seems to have a darker tone
>>738708531>be japanese>take chinese money>get stabbed in the backwho would've guessed
>>738723938More like try to scam chinese from their money but you cant scam a scammer so easily so he got cut off
I think people overestimate the negative impact of Kiwami 3 and Pirates. Not because they weren't trash, but they LOOKED like trash from the go. People who got as far as buying that crap are consoomers of the highest order, they're not going anywhere. People who didn't bother playing those are just as eager for a new actually good RGG game as they have been for years. Especially if they're not turn based fans, then it's been since, what, Lost Judgment? I guess some would argue Gaiden, but even that will be over 3 years old when this comes out.
>>738708885Speak for yourself, I'm not so quick to forgive. Much as a fag I am for Ado, K3 was a uniquely offensive game on a writing and gameplay level, and if the asking price for games is going to go up, I got a right to hang back and wait to see if the gameplay loop's poor and if the writing's awful before I buy. Yokoyama still needs a tard-wrangler to keep him in line, else he'll innevitably do something to piss the fans off.
>>738724020>so easily so he got cut offhe easily scammed them out of 40m thoughbeit
is Yakuza really doing that bad? as a person who never played them I would assume Yakuza is blasting off with how much youtubers talk about how great it is
Netease got so hard scammed by the japanese it's not even funny anymore.
>>738723904It's nice to see that the protagonist doesn't wear Jack Sparrow cosplay, jump 10 feet in the air and shoot a magic laser gun. Stanger Than Heaven will probably be more my taste, treating beating people to death as a serious and violent act. It'll be a darker game, but I don't expect it to be a fun game after what the studio has been putting out recently.
>>738724096This is not Yakuza. It's a "Yakuza-like" or at least we suspect it was gonna be. Honestly, the confusion is understandable and Sega should probably sue Nagoshi for causing brand damage like this.
>>738708531was actually looking forward to this ffs
>>738724054Well, yeah, wait for impressions from people you trust, or play it on game pass at launch and buy it for a steep discount years later when you feel like replaying. Nothing wrong with that.
>>738708923What are the chances of this happening to Hackitsuno?
>>738722509AFAIK he met plenty of yakuza
>>738724214I would be genuinely surprised if we ever see another Itsuno game.
>>738724150>but I don't expect it to be a fun game after what the studio has been putting out recently.really? fun is about the one thing 8 and Pirate had going for me. the storys are fucking shit but the gameplay has still been fun enough
>>738724214I don't think so. Say what you want about the quality of his work, but he's a man who ships games. He's the guy you call when your project is sinking, not the guy who sinks it.If you think his games suck, it's all the more impressive that he always turns a decent profit.If the investors are expecting an industry defining masterpiece they'll probably be disappointed, but if they just want to make money with a game guaranteed to get some buzz and good sales, I think they're safe.
>leave Sega because he admits that Yakuza is a copypaste>makes Yakuza copypasteok???
>>738724096They release way too many games, too similar, writing seems to get worse every time and only diehard fans can stomach the same backgrounds over and over againZero was a actually good game that should had been the grounding for a better series but they just shat the bed with the Ichiban games and poor remakes
>>738724096The one that came out this year seems to have shockingly poor sales. There's a decent number of Youtube e-celebs who have never played Yakuza 1-6 but constantly talk about funny quirk chungus memes from the newer games. It's been doing well enough for yearly releases, but those aren't really capturing an audience as big as the series has gotten.
>>738723867You'll be the first to cry around here how shit the movie game is
>>738724367you are about to get savagely btfo and raped in the near future anon i would reverse course now before it's too late. this game is going to be KINO
>>738723938See>>738724020>>738724054Ado?
>>738724214The guy has a story of making stuff on shoestring budgets. He turned a total disaster that didn't even function properly (DMC 2) into a functional game that did well enough to salvage the franchise.
>>738724307Makes sense when you think from a development perspective. Outside of the big games, it's a literal copypaste, asset flipping in a short amount of time to make money for the big games. Must be exhausting both in workload and creatively. You're not making games out of the ideas you have, but out of the assets you need to use.It's a series for producers, not creative directors. If anything, looking at the timing of his departure, it's very likely that losing key members to burnout was a big part of the pitch to get something this high budget approved, and getting Sega to consider changing their approach with the studio to move a bit away from the slop factory. Company politics are complicated.
>>738724429He ruined DMC 2 actually
>>738724402Hopefully for you. Even if rgg is king of recycling, this will cost rather 20MM than 10MM. Realistically around 100, as pirate was around 50. How much they have to sell in the first week is an assignment for you.
>>738716403Andy Serkis was ridiculously good in E33 but I guess his whole thing has always kind of been partially voice acting
>>738724514He got called mid development to try to salvage the game, which he failed to doDMC3 is 100% his and its the best in the series
>>738724514He fixed DMC2, and the mess the old director lleft him. If it had released as it originally was, the series would've died right then and there.
>>738724423Blue sperg woman who got her start singing on a Nintendo 3DS app, sung in a closet, became a radio host, and has a voice like milk and honey.
>>738716295Not true, RGG games selling themselves on the actors they get is pretty commonplace. How did you already forget Judgment? And they usually do a very good job too. There are mods to reverse the change to get Pierre Taki back even. People do care.
>>738724637>He fixed DMC2No, he released DMC2. Any other director would have been too ashamed to release such garbage. But for some reason he got extremely lucky and the game was successful.
>>738708531Good. We need less Yakuzaslop and not more.
>>738708531testing my faiiith
>>738724637The reality is we'll never truly know how bad DMC2 would've turned out otherwise but for what it's worth it is a finished game so he accomplished that much.
>>738724558that's one of the best game VA performances of all time tho so it's an outlier Charlie was great too though
>>738724750A voice like horney
>>738715791It’s always nice to poke fun of devs that say “I’ll make my own studio with blackjack and hookers” just for it to fail. It happens all the time. Kojima is like the only dev I can think of who had a huge falling out with their company and still come out as a pretty successful independent studio
>>738725424Igarashi worked out too. He's not BIG, but for the kind of game he makes establishing a new IP and getting to do multiple games in it is pretty good.
>>738724750She uses anime avatars...?
>>738708531now that the dust has settled this comment was the beginning of the end for his career. do you think he regrets it?
>>738724305>If you think his games suckOnly spineless faggots say this, he made plenty of good games
>>738725576Beef and cheese stands for...?
>>738724214Huh? Isn't DMC5 considered great?
Netease literally hired him and said they'd give him unlimited budget, then burned him because they became racist.
>>738725773I think it's the jap way of calling someone a manchild
>>738715378what the fuck? what kind of weird denture is that?
>>738708531>>738708702Why would you acknowledge it? He blew the entire budget on shoes, plastic surgery, meeting celebrities, and fancy dinners. Just like he did at Sega. Why would you admit that?
>>738708531lel he got yu suzuki'd, and he was the person that cut costs and contained yu's cash burning on shenmue back then, ironic. he should team up with ysnet for shenmue 4 to create the ultimative clusterfuck
>>738714920He's in this mess because he insulted chuds. He's not one of us.
>>738725850More like "incel" or "chud"In the way it's used as an insult on social media even for married people with kids, not the actual meaning. But it's more charged than manchild, people don't use "incel" to talk about disney adults, even if it would fit.
>>738725205I guess because he didn’t have as much material to work with but I thought Charlie Cox’s performance felt much more phoned in
>>738725576This controversy is what caused Sega to look so closely at him and thus found his questionable spending, so yes
>>738725850I see.
This was the last game he both wrote and directed, did he leave on a high note?kaito files was also written before he left
>>738726154It's definitely the most fun game RGG has ever put out. The plot was messy enough to at least confuse people, but it was compelling and had relevant themes for the protagonist while still clearly being about beating the shit out of a dude.
>>738726154Absolutely, one of the best games to come out of the studio, if not the best. Perfect blend of story, side content, and interesting gameplay loop, the two new battle styles added add so much to battle variety. Contrast to every time they do another Kiryu game, they make the DoD style start to suck a bit more, and add some awful sub-moveset based around gimmicks next to it.
>>738713218The side you don't see reported by Bloomberg:Last year NetEase got a new chairman who started making sweeping changes across the company, like closing almost every foreign studio. Chink news outlets say that even chink employees started sweating because their new boss would suddenly limit funds even for some domestic projects and funnel everything into various fads, like games with AI-powered NPCs. He's changing shit overnight, without any prior warning, without consulting anyone.
>>738726154His credit there is "Based on a story by" so it's more like he wrote the pitch or something. It's the same credit FFVII has for Tetsuya Nomura, but people don't usually attribute every aspect of the game to him. They still credit Nojima for the writing and Kitase for the direction.I think you can see the divide in attributions with this STH presentation, Yokoyama gave the broad strokes introduction, but the guy credited as Director was the one to talk about music as a main theme and mechanic. Probably his idea in the first place, and why he was made director.
>>738715335>>738715701It's funny how he basically became one of those sleazy early-game Yakuza villains.
>>738724815"Fixed" in that the director of the game disappeared and nothing was done. It still wasn't good, but it's incredible he actually got a functional game out. I also assume it wasn't his decision whether they'd actually sell the game or not. His job was directing, not making business decisions.
>>738726154>career tanks because he bullied nerds>his final game was about justice for bullied nerdsPottery.
>>738725526bloodstained didn't have a process that "worked out", the actual development was a goddamn mess and iirc he got scammed twiceif anything "a goddamn mess" may be an understatement, it was a complete fucking clown shitshow and then someand with how much bloodstained 2 is taking to come out, it's likely the case with it tooit's so bad that he considered just going back to konami with some of his hired talent in tow and konami is actually considering going through with it
>>738708531this nigger in every chinky movie
>>738715335>starts also whining yakuza is becoming too kiddyThat's true, though. It turned into a silly J Drama. It's not just Yakuza. Between ever increasing censorship, sanitization and desire for mass appeal even most "adult" media these days feel like they're made for 13-14 year olds.
>>738727176Who got scammed? Dev? Thought they were so loaded that they made dlc and other metroidvania?
>>738715335>So many people replying with "um akshually yakuza is for kids now"Nagotards really living up to that snydertard reputation.
>>738708531OH NO NONONONONNONON AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
>>738715335Thank you for the break down anon. I have a life and get pussy shoved on my face so I don't have the time to keep up with everything.
Didn't Nagoshi flee from Japan to China because he didn't want to make games for the switch?
>>738708531FUCK NETEASE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>738725817Yes but because it's the most popular in the series /v/ is committed to hating it and pretending it's worse than 2 and the reboot.
>>738727860He wanted to move to China but covid lockdowns and travel restrictions grounded him in Japan.
>>738726154Peak kino.
>>738727176Still came out, made money, two spin offs and a sequel is coming out.Yeah the path wasn't smooth, but compared to closing the entire fucking studio and never delivering anything? It worked out.
>>738718826You think an isolationist Japan would have business owners any more tolerant of their employees saying another departments customers are manchildren? Corporate apologies are a very distinctly Japanese thing too, in the west they just try and bury it and hope everybody forgets.
>>738728915From a scientific standpoint? No, I don't. This would be an interesting speculative history topic though.>West pokers on forgettingNo wonder. West could certainly learn a thing or two from the far east. Unfortunately the West is just not fit to lead anything. A certain caste prefers short term profits over actual growth.
I live under a rock but bought kiwami 1/2 years ago and apparently i have some newer versions of them available,which ones do i play and should i get any mods?
>>738716613>Stranger of paradiseI too miss Jack's game
>>738708531I still believe
>>738729529Kiwami 1 is pretty fun. It's often a very faithful remake of the first storywise, though there are shitty additions like fighting the same guy a jillion times because they thought it would be funny. Steam versions of Yakuza 3-5 are similarly good ports with reservations. You probably want to then play 6 to see the end of Kiryu's story, then 7 is a turn based RPG about an idiot with a bad perm, so you can stop before playing it.
>>738727860In hindsight he was right, the Like a Dragon audience isn't on Nintendos systems. They're all on PlayStation and (mostly) PC. The sales of Yakuza games on the Switch systems are terrible.
>>738716268here's that white man I was telling you about
>>738729832>kick down the doors to Stardust>"I'm here to kill Chaos.">yuya starts talking about his desire to franchise the business>"Just tell us about the crystals."
>>738725773>>738725850>>738726037>>738726153cheesy gyudon is the cultural equivalent of mcnuggies at cheap japanese restaurants and is kind of childish but saying someone eats cheese gyudon is a reference to some character in a manga and refers to a very specific kind of ugly loser manchild. He basically called all the puyo puyo players a bunch of pathetic virgin losers
>>738730835That comic made a point mostly about being a manchild who still does everything like mommy told him to do back in elementary school. Having a childish haircut, dressing like his mother would dress him for formal occasions, going through job interviews like they're school assignments.
>>738730835>>738731157It was always just Nagoshis projection and insecurity. The way he acts and dresses has always been rooted in his lack of self esteem.
More like Gone of Dragon.
>>738731212Even in that one photo of him >>738730275 you can just smell the insecurity, he's doing everything in his power to project a desperate, uncomfortable, unnatural and artificial image of coolness that doesn't fit him. He probably did look and act like a chigyu until he got made fun of and decided to change his image
>>738731212Nagoshi is a lifelong alcoholic, but being buckbroken by helicopter parenting is not one of his issues.
>>738731374He already ereased his name.>>738731418>>738731212Kek>>738730835Can I order meat and beef in Japan or not? On second thought who orders this and I thought Japan doesn't have dairy products. Is there Japanese cheese??
>>738731535It's served at places like Matsuya. When Nagoshi escaped from his shithole town his early survival in Tokyo depended on cheap beef bowls from Matsuya. He was so sentimental about that company saving his life that it was one of the first he asked for partnership in Yakuza.
>>738708531The Man Who Earased His Own Game
>>738731535do what you want, you'd have to be the biggest pussy on earth to be scared of japanese shaming. they're the most timid people imaginable, they get cold sweats at the thought of somebody raising their voice in public.
>>738731404He legitimately looked happier and more fulfilled before he fucked his face up. Look at any picture of him in the early 00s.
>>738731418Nah for some reason he thinks he is astoundingly ugly despite the fact that he looks like a regular ass Japanese guy who isn't particularly ugly or handsome. His brain is broken and he thinks he looks like an ogre. And of course there are unethical doctors that enable this.
>>738731819I think he bogpilled himself when his parents turned into Alzheimers zombies. He tried to reconcile with them during his AM2 years but they were already too far gone. It fucked him up so hard that 20 years later he made Judgment.
HEY NAGOSHIYOU'RE NEVER MAKING ANOTHER GAMEAND NOTHINGS GONNA CHANGE THAT
>>738731984It's genetic too so he probably lives with the horror that he himself is at most 20 years from it happening to him too. Grim, but it's preventing him from living his own life while he can.
>>738708531the Chigyu won?!
>>738732076His parents were younger than him by the time they turned into vegetables, he's been really lucky so far. His heart might actually kill him before dementia.
>>738731706Isn't he a movie director? Him being poor might explain a thing or two.
>>738725552Not like vtubersIf there's an animated music video yes she uses the blue womanIf there's any live events, she hides her face (and body?) by all means necessary
>>738731727>>738731706>partnership in Yakuza.He has dark ties
>>738731782>get cold sweats at the thought of somebody raising their voice in public.Sounds like a case of>cheesy gyudon
>>738731958He shouldve start lifting instead of face lifting>>738732339Nta so her face is unknown to the public? Similiar like the dorohedoro artist
>>738732437He went off with his Infinite Wealth to sing his Song of Life, cutting all of his Dark Ties regardless of whether or not his Judgment was lost
>>738732294He went to film school and was very lucky to study at a time when Sega recruited entertainment industry and marketing students directly at universities. Some of their old composers, audio engineers and producers were hired like this.
>>738732339>I don’t know im happy she is doing a world tour but im afraid someone leaking how she looks or exposing her. I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of contract however there does who are evil. Has anyone thought about this. I hope it doesn’t happened as I respect Ado private life and hope no one breaks that trustWhy is plebbit like this
>>738732513Exactly. If gigachad walks in to the restaurant and orders cheese gyudon loud enough for everyone to hear them and makes direct eye contact with everyone who turns their head at his voice, do you think anyone'll make fun of him? No, the worst they'll do is seethe about rude foreigners on twitter later.

It's always funny to me how every Yakuza game is pretty much just an asset flip and everyone's fine with that, but /v/ freaked out about TotK for months when it came out.

>>738737529It's almost like all those games you loved were made by more than one human!
>>738737529Japanese idol culture has infected the Japanese game industry. Now every big name developer has an ego, or a bunch of yes men surrounding them that won't push back against their ideas, despite the games they're famous for working on being a culmination of that back and forth. It happens when japs and weebs treat code-monkeys as big celebs.Western devs like Druckmann try to pull the same stunt as well, but never succeed cause most westerners aren't gonna treat code-monkeys as celebs
>>738737529its almost like these dudes took credit for the talent of their storied dev teams filled with 40 year old vets and now that all the boomer talent left the industry and got replaced by junior devs straight out of unreal bootcamp; they cant make shit anymore

>>738735512In all fairness, I'm not cheering it on as much as just kinda throwing my hands up and going "Well, play stupid games, win stupid prizes."I've been fairly consistent on being underwhelmed on StH since the last couple years it had reveal trailers running at the Game Awards, and Gang of Dragon's Steam page screenshots made it look like a Sleeping Dogs knockoff, which I wasn't interested in. I'm very much no-sides on this one.
>>738735512He did it to himself. I'm like this guy >>738738474 except I thought it looked really good. Nagoshi is just really bad with money.
>>738738029i disliked dmc5 too actually
>>738736828Got a wave of bad reviews, sold 100kin Japan in the first week and is considered a filler yakuza. Pretty big in a series full of filler. Pirate was rather expensive and didn't got the sales to match. Up until lad their business model was to get new customers to the series and a part of them buys the whole series. Now they want cinematic blockbusters. They are increasing their dev cycles and this is a bad business decision. Pirates was arguably the yakuza that strayed furthest eom what (old) yakuza fans want. We will see if their bet will play out. I don't expect it.
>>738738474I was actually hoping for another Sleeping Dogs. It's been so long since that game and nobody made anything like again.
>>738724026This guy gets its. Pirate and K3 were putrid trash that took 2 months to make. I bought them because I wanted to support and I have the means but those games are horrible trash plain and simple. Lost my faith in RGG in the process. Never again unless it is the heaven game. Last chance. Last good game was Gaiden and even the effort was low as fuck
>>738722535QRD?
>>738735512i think the series hasn't been good since 2
>>738708531RIP in peace
>>738724026Wasn't that shit outsourced so they could work on Stranger than Heaven
>>738708531f in chathe just wanted to make his own Yakuza, with Blackjack and Hookers
>>738738656I think there was a gacha game for Sakura wars that was heavily invested into and EoS within a few months? I remember the drama
>>738737529It's the Ken Levine problem, these guys could thrive when you only needed like 5-30 dudes to make a game and could shit them out in 1-2 years, but when these big games are giant lumbering beasts with hundreds of people working on them and tens to hundreds of millions of dollars being invested in its development, you need a competent project manager to see it through to the end, especially if said dev has "idea guy" tendencies and nobody to tell him to shut the hell up and make the fucking game.Nintendo is notorious for killing a lot of ideas in the pitch meeting, e.g. Retro devs talking about their Portal-esque puzzle game, Monolith devs similarly talking about Nintendo rejecting a shitload of their ideas, or scuttling projects(how many different Super Mario 64 sequels were attempted before they finally had to rush out Sunshine, or the original Metroid Prime 4), but it at least generally avoids these problems because they have such a wide chain of command. Nobody has to care about what Miyamoto or Koizumi is doing because the real functional head of 3D Mario is Kenta Motokura.The era of the rock star game director died with the advent of the HD age. You want to be indulgent with your random ass ideas, go indie, you want to work in AAA? Lace up your shoes and get to work. Sega will shit out a Yakuza game damn near annually while Nagoshi Studios was ultimately just Netease paying for Nagoshi to go be a Kojima-tier starfucker.
Stranger than heaven won so hard
>>738725424>It’s always nice to poke fun of devs that say “I’ll make my own studio with blackjack and hookers” just for it to fail.Eh, as much as it sometimes shows how many Devs buy into their own hype, it also shows just how cutthroat the videogame market is. Being successful is hard and it's often not as simple as just making a good game.The various Blizzard offshoot companies have been pretty interesting to watch, at least.
>>738737325Didn't get it
>>738716613>Stranger of paradise looks greatAgreed.
>>738738791>these guys could thrive when you only needed like 5-30 dudes to make a gameyeah, suda did that with TSA and it was alright
>>738716295>NOBODY FIVES A FUCK ABOUT ACOTRS IN VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!The entire Yakuza series sells in Japan because of the actors it has in it. 6 alone sold because it had Kitano in it.Judgment and Lost Judgment only sold because of Kimura and Judgment became the first game in the series they publicly stated sold over a million copies.
>>738737529Most people just don't fixate on one or two things a lead dev made and fail to actually see their whole career, and end up hyping themselves up into disappointment. With Kojima, anything not Metal Gear was gonna be met with a resounding disappointment that it wasn't more Metal Gear (either in story or gameplay), which is what happened. The crossover between MG fans and DS fans is that same as MG fans and Snatcher fans- borderline non-existent.Suda was always mostly bad. He got a bit of goodwill with Killer 7 and No More Heroes, but everything before and after them are just fundamentally bad in various ways. Nomura doesn't even really work on games that much anymore, but again, everything he actually "made" is of the same quality. It's just the people who grew up with shit like KH1 or 2 did exactly that- they grew up and were too out of touch for KH3. They get mad about every character living and getting a happy ending when this is a disney game for children.I don't even get the Nagoshi thing since it's people saying he's washed up over a game that was almost purely theoretical, which nobody played and will never exist.
>>738733395>She's also 23 years old.Really questioning my life here.
>>738738791To me the real tragedy is that the 30 niggas doing something cool in 2 years was the best era. I'm not in love with specific creators to care about who is directing the good games, don't care if the faces change, but the good games then were better than the good games now. We need to go back. I'm sure the people delivering quality in the bloated development landscape would make even more quality with more focused projects.
>>738717154>wastes everything on drinks and fucking JAV babes>>738716863> because he would waste even more money and time on botched plastic surgeryThis shit is retarded. How much do you think plastic surgery cost? That's coming from his salary and it's not gonna be any significant part of a $44mill game budget (which isn't enough for a modern Yakuza anyway). Those random expenses are nothing compared to the mundane costs of just running a studio.
>>738722535That one was on Baba. And after that flopped we quite literally never heard anything from him again.
>>738739405Retards on /v/ basically know nothing about what anything costs pretty much.Throwback to MGSV when all of /v/ was utterly convinced that the new Snake actor ate up the MAJORITY of an $80 million budget when a single actor, when in actuality he probably wouldn't have cost much more than the original Snake English actor, if not even less when you factor in how unions treat repeat roles.
>>738717465China, Japan and Korea are the only countries that aren't doing safehorny. This is retarded.
>>738739556Nagoshi's studio is located in Ebisu, one of the more expensive parts of Tokyo. During the summer of 2022 he went to various game dev conferences to start hiring and he offered above average wages for kids with no experience.
>>738715693Tbf, Suda's games have always felt kinda phoned in since NMH. They still feel like 6th/7th gen Jap-jankfests that you like more for their ideas and aesthetics than the actual gameplay. I tried replaying Killer is Dead and I just realized how mediocre the gameplay is, even if the actual story is kino.At least he's able to produce an actual product in the timeframe he was alloted and do it cheaply unlike Nigoshi>>738720584They get paid in potatos which they use to make potato chips.
>>738708531The Man Who Erased His Game
>>738723904This might just be me, and it's pointless to speculate just off a trailer, but when I saw GoD, it just seemed kind'a cringe.Like you've got the insane, over the top Yakuza stuff like him having a gun to his head and taking a phone call, then killing/beating up all 3 guys and walking out, going "Heh", but it's played completely, 100% straight like this is the coolest, most awesome guy ever and this is just Tuesday for him.When Kiryu does stuff like that it's part of the already over the top and slightly/often silly Yakuza world, and he looks like a beast of a man as is, rather than a strong-fat dude. If you're gonna make a gritty Yakuza game, that's fine. But you also shouldn't make it over the top, 80's action silliness like Yakuza.
>>738715948Except he's not asking for 44 million to make a Yakuza game from scratch. He's asking for 44 million after 5 years of burning money. Which means that the total cost of his game is going to surpass 100 Million. Yakuza games sell 2M at most same as games like Sleeping Dogs so how the hell he thinks he can make money from this game I have no idea.
>>738739875We've reached the point where people don't think Yakuza was a gritty world played straight, fascinating.
>>738739875I wish they went back to the 80s action movies instead of doing random schizo shit from zoomer videos.
>>738738583>They are increasing their dev cycles and this is a bad business decision.They also have this mindset that they want each game to sell 1 million copies which we learned with the controversy with the PC ports of JE and LJ. I can't find the actual interview from the period but I recall there being some interview where they mentioned they couldn't afford not to have LJ ported because all future games now have a budget and expectation on returns to account for all platforms.They've clearly upped their budget for even smaller games ever since 7, and I have to imagine 7G's success paired with 8's success have given them undeserved confidence in every new game returning more than the last. I also don't know how many sales they need for a game to be successful anymore because nearly everything in K3 was recycled from previous games yet a minimum of around 180k sales from Japan physical copies alone and worldwide Steam sales combined without any knowledge of western physical + digital or Japanese digital apparently isn't enough for that game to be a success since their financials said it failed to meet expectations. 8G itself was also mostly all recycled content from 8 outside of the ship combat.
>>738740032When has yakuza been gritty since 1?
>>738739187Ye, japs are like that. I do believe that a re better yakuza with no names would out sell yakuza.
>>738713521>The game would have to turn out to be a shit pile like Kiwami 3 for it to not be a big success.It's made by RGG, what the fuck do you think it's gonna be? Them putting out such a good trailer is most likely the peak of this game.
>>738724054For me it's not just K3 but Pirate Yakuza and Infinite Wealth too. I hope Stranger than Heaven is good but I'm not so sure
>>738723867>unless some catastrophicly pozzed shit comes out before launch.It would be hilarious if Rockstar released GTA 6 like a week before STH.
>>738739875>Like you've got the insane, over the top Yakuza stuff like him having a gun to his head and taking a phone call, then killing/beating up all 3 guys and walking out, going "Heh", but it's played completely, 100% straight like this is the coolest, most awesome guy ever and this is just Tuesday for him.Yeah go watch a movie with the actor, there's plenty of films where he plays a gangster or a cop and just beats up other gangsters like it's nothing. The trailer was accurate in that aspect.
>RGG finally makes a good feeling combat system in PYIH>STH has a brand new dynamic systemI'm glad to see them step their game up. Nagoshi was holding them back
>>738735846Crazy Taxi Live Service game. Somehow.
>>738737041Which added any mechanics even close to as complex/fun as TotK's?
>>738741005I know people don't like them and have their problems with it - I think they're all fair criticisms, stuff like the writing, lighting, and DLCighting, it's not lost on me - but I can't bring myself to dislike IW and Pirates. The former, I'm a sucker for Danny Trejo, thought the gameplay was stronger than 7, and thought Kiryu's bucket list segments were a great emotional payoff for longtime series fans, the latter, I thought the story was fine in the sense they were continuing to move the series forward in story and Majima's general gameplay and the naval combat segments were very well-handled and unique to keep interest. K3's not the very first time I expressed doubt in RGG, but it sure as shit is the first time I think they outright put out a shitty product and went out of their way to see how much they could antagonize fans and get away with it. You cannot be that tone-deaf to release a 20th anniversary game that guts half the OG's gameplay, retcons 15 years of story, and remove people's ability to play the original game without dropping a hundred bucks.
>>738737780>Now every big name developer has an ego, or a bunch of yes men surrounding them that won't push back against their ideas, despite the games they're famous for working on being a culmination of that back and forth.Honestly, another thing Nintendo's done really well with. There's been a few projects that've tanked because the big name people came in and said something stupid that nobody could disagree with (although, the reverse of that would be Shiggy saving Prime 1), but overall they've kept their key talent for decades and decades, and they've put succession plans in place for them.The guys who made the original Super Mario games are all dying or aging out, and they've got new teams that're coming up and doing interesting things. Splatoon and Wonder being showcases of that.Even if you don't like their games, that's a LOT more coherent than the West treating all talent like disposable dishrags, or how companies like SEGA have managed successions.
>>738708531...
>>738738772That's a shame. It'd be nice for Sakura Wars to come back, but its tainted now.
Platform holders are retarded for not saving this game. Yakuza fans are very dedicated and would buy a console or PC just for this game.
>>738738791>It's the Ken Levine problem, these guys could thrive when you only needed like 5-30 dudes to make a game and could shit them out in 1-2 yearsThat's the big hurdle a lot of games are facing now.Like, younger generations have no attachment to Final Fantasy because they might get 1 maybe 2 FF games the entire time they're young. When I was young I got 7 of them. Persona 3 and 4 released in fairly quick succession and then it was a million years before Persona 5.King of Fighter's games used to tell stories over a 3 game arc, and when you released a game every year or every other year that was fine. But when you're releasing 1 game every 3-5 years, how the fuck can you tell any kind of arc? Plus, it means you have to be super safe with the teams, since you won't see those guys again for who knows how long.
>>738740179>I plan my business about I number I like and that I made up.>all platformsThat was a foreseeable even and multinationals were delusional to expect anything else.>segaHas more money and invests deeply into rgg. They in return up the budgets.>failed to meet expectationsThat's beyond sad, kek. K3 is nothing new. Even dt is 100% recycled asset flip. I'm convinced sth will fail. There's a reason net ease axed gang of money wasting.
>>738736898I saw someone unironically claim that Yakuza doesn't reuse assets in an attempt to put down TOTK once
>>738741497K3 only exists to bring Mine back
>>738742036Well and to sell filler for gold. The alternative timeline won't be better than the current one. Convoluted shit.
>>738713329He spent it all on food and whores didn't he
>>738722217>Fucking died horriblyPeople have been saying this for ~11 years at this point. With pretty much the sole exception of Babylon's Fall (which the overwhelming majority of people who shit on it haven't played), all of their games from Automata onwards are among their best in more regards than not.
>>738737529What’s more likely, the guy who has shipped dozens of games over several decades fumbled this project or netease suddenly pulled funding like they did for multiple other studios?
>>738740032I don't remember any Yakuza game being gritty. I don't think even Yakuza 1 was particularly gritty.When people think of Yakuza games, they think of a guy riding a motorcycle down a sewer, and Kiryu blocking a steel bar from that guy with his bare hands.
>>738742317>I don't remember any Yakuza game being grittyY4/Y5 had a pretty gritty undertone
>>738742317>When people think of Yakuza games, they think of a guy riding a motorcycle down a sewer, and Kiryu blocking a steel bar from that guy with his bare hands.This is ofc anything but gritty>>738742453It do be like that
>>738742453The game that began the rubber bullets meme? Akiba Maid War is more gritty than any Yakuza game.
>>7387414137 turned the game into a different genre entirely?
>>738742317You revealed yourself as a 0baby. The PS2 games are very gritty in tone.
>>738742669>The game that began the rubber bullets meme?The fate of Saejima in those games is grittier than anything
Possible second opinion.
I like Don Lee movies I wanted to play as him
>>738742907The studio only ever had like 60 employees at most, I dont know how it could possibly have been a AAA budget production
>>738742907>mostly uninfomed opinion againNetEase has a new chairman as of last year. He's been flipping things on their heads ever since he took over and Nagoshi wasn't the only one who got fucked. Chinese gaming news sites also reported that even their domestic devs are worried about the stability of their employment because the new chairman makes insane decisions on a whim.The shit misreported by Bloomberg is also a small fragment of truth (funding until May, then NetEase is open to selling the IP) mixed with Japanese clickbait (7 billion yen wasted and Nagoshi is asking for 8 more) made up by two NFT and mobile gacha scammers.
>>738743139>I dont know how it could possibly have been a AAA budget productionAAA doesn't specifically require certain sizes of groups, it's primarily a budgetary deal. The amount of money Nagoshi was dealing was well over 50 million nearing 100 million which is the AAA zone. Pretty much anything over 50 is AAA from what I recall.
>careers are literally make or break based on the response to the trailer at Geoff's showwhy did we give Geoff all the power
Reminder all of this is the result of Nagoshi making fun of a japanese rice dish and the otakus who eat it.Western 4chan weeb anons wish they were as autistic and insecure as Asian weebs when it comes to turning someone's life upside down.
>>738708531I still have faith
>>738743826the idea that eating cheese is for kids doesnt translate to the westmaybe its like going to a nice restaurant and ordering chicken tenders

>>738744462Beef bowls are some of the cheapest takeout meals, it's the kind of thing students eat to avoid dropping dead from pure instant ramen diet. They're like the former 3 dollar combos at McDonald's.
>>738743826>>738744462It's actually exactly like "mom made chicken tendies", except that has become an endearing thing like being a "wizard", whereas Jap so ronery loser types are super super insecure and hateful.
>>738741025gta normies would never buy sth
>>738735917She's cute, deffo not for vpolfaggots doe. Stay away.
>>738744757Any normie would choose GTA over STH which is the point here. Obviously Yakuza fags won't care about GTA over STH but new fans which Sega hopes to attract with this game would choose GTA over it.
>>738742152On what fucking planet
>>738726154>Lost Judgment completely solved Yakuza combat>following games only takes bits and pieces of it>they are now reworking the whole thing from scratch with Stranger than Heaven>instead of just taking the LJ system and expanding even more on top of itAre they stupid?
>>738744964>GTA over STHFinally someone's mentioning it. Rgg expects a x5 sale and that's lunatic. Er did that and more because we had covid and huge marketing.
>>738744428Hope you got 44m, too>>738745927They want virtua fighter and yakuza to have the same underlying system obvs
>>738708923>KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwhat in the ever living brown skin FUCK does this mean
>>738716731This is why I don't feel bad about it. Don't make fun of my chudbros and especially don't make fun about anything with cheese. I don't know how that dish tastes but cheese is godly. Fuck anyone who doesn't appreciate it.Although, I was looking forward to showing my mom this game because she really likes this Korean actor.
>>738746197>cheeseFurther above I asked about cheese and apparently since the end of the boom they created their own cheese and are selling top tier quality Japanese cheese. Ngl they know how to food.

>>738715619>seething about Nintendo out of nowherelole! The series didn't even come to Nintendo platforms (Wii U aside) until 2025, way after the series became dame da big chungus. Truth is, Japanese business culture is retarded and they keep promoting people who just want to do game development, like Nagoshi, into executive and managerial roles. Not saying this is the only reason for him quitting but it's a big one.
>>738746197I don't know if Don Lee is only producing it or he'll make a cameo, but he's involved with Tokyo Burst, a crime show that comes out later this month. It's set in his Outlaws universe. I don't know if Kadokawa has any plans to release it outside of Japan.
>>738747183Thanks anon, I'll tell her.
>>738747103>seethingHe's not seething. He's pointing out that Nagoshi was right about porting to Nintendo platforms being a waste of time. K1 on the Switch 1 is the only one they said did remotely better than they thought it would specifically due to the live action show airing at the same time as its release.https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/10/yakuza-kiwami-is-supposedly-selling-like-crazy-on-switchK3 didn't even reach PS4 numbers, at least on the physical side of things, since we can see those via Mediacreate.https://teitengame.com/index.html龍が如く 極3 / 龍が如く3外伝 Dark Ties0 DC even when it was exclusive only managed 37k for all of 2025.https://teitengame.com/2025_01.html龍が如く0 誓いの場所 Director’s CutK1 (S2) was a whole 4,000 physical copies.龍が如く 極K2 (S2) was a whole 5,000 physical copies.龍が如く 極2https://teitengame.com/2024_01.html龍が如く 極(ダウンロードカード版)K1 on a download card you bought from the stores was a whopping 2,000 copies.

>>738747597Anyone who thinks western tendies are insane should see the jap tendies. Some of them are angry that Nintendo forever tarnished its reputation by publishing anti-social games like Yakuza.
>>738742179The people who shipped dozens of games are still with sega continuing to ship dozens of games. While nagoshi team never accomplished anything.
pmarusama > industry plant ado
>>738748206Around the time Pirate Yakuza came out, Yokoyama said that two thirds of the current division 1 is fresh out school newfags. The old guys who were there since the 90s are a shrinking minority now.
>>738748396>"She's popular so I hate her."
>>738748490Doesn't matter when the infrastructure and the workflows are already completely established. RGG studio and Sega are one unit with decades of experience. That doesn't change just because fresh blood gets pumped in all the time. Nagoshi studio had to probably use years on just establishing something resembling steady development and establishing working pipelines. And that's if we assume nagoshi studio was not a scam of course.
>>738708531sad news because yakuza has jumped the shark it would be nice to get a new dev making a serious yakuza game again.

>>738750364Just proves my point about STH. When they even make someone like Snoop Dogg a serious character then the rest of the game is certainly going to be serious.
>>738749895Suddenly>>738749886Yeah, I wonder
>>738750364His character in the trailer did nothing comedic and was played straight. Considering how he didn't seem to be in any part of the game past the first era, he's likely going to die too.
Sucks, as I wanted to see what another new RGG would have been, given how fucking great Judgment was not having to deal with all of the fucking RGG baggage.
Does anyone have that Yokoyama interview where he says the Tojo would not be involved in the game?
>>738751596Judgment had tons of new garbage though that was no fun at all. Still I would prefer new characters every single game instead Yakuza 531.
you know you're fucked when netease cuts you over ananta free to play trash
>>738752236It's more like Netease seemed to just hand out free money at some point.
Trannies really hate Nagoshi for some reason
>>738752390It's more like Netease saw value in trying to gather these Japanese developers at one point, but now they don't see any value in them since Chinese studios can do well enough by themselves.
>>738751638>A particularly popular fan theory proposes that, based on the time period being depicted, Project Century may tell the origin story of the rival Tojo Clan of the Yakuza series. This would make the rugged-looking protagonist we saw a young Makoto Tojo – the founder and first boss of the Tojo Clan. >However, in the recent RGG Studio broadcast, Yokoyama outright debunked all of the fan speculation circulating online, commenting that the theories he’s seen are completely off the mark. Furthermore, he said that it was impossible to make correct predictions about the game’s content from the footage revealed at TSA 2024 alone. “We didn’t include any information that would enable people to guess.” https://automaton-media.com/en/news/speculation-about-project-century-so-far-is-all-wrong-rgg-studio-head-says/
>>738752859Yadayada, Asian devs lie all the time. Member dragon's dogma 2?
>>738752859Too bad this won't make it to any gaming mag articles, but japs are compiling the lies about cities too. Turns out RGG is cannibalizing various towns, picking up their local attractions and shoving them into entirely different cities and eras.Like on RyuSta TV he was laughing that online theories about Toyama were ridiculous and Toyama on shop signs had nothing to do with any city.Train autists identified a tourist attraction antique street car from Nagasaki that got shoved into Kokura.Kokura itself wasn't developed to that degree in 1915 yet. Shimonoseki that is just across the strait was the international port at that time, Kokura itself was just the Yawata foundry and worker barracks.Atami burnt down in 1950. The whole tourist trap area including the waterfront and a quarter of all houses. The gate with a knot and candle flame motif is from nearby Ito.

>>738755429>are late portsSo? They had no games to begin with so it makes no sense to randomly release 8 on it. They even went out of their way to make 0 DC specifically for the Switch 2 and heavily advertised stuff like K1 during the live action release. Not everyone is an idort either.>so people are inclined to buy it on platforms they already own the other two inThey went out of their way to port K1 and K2 to newer platforms which is why we have the PS5 versions and Switch 2 versions before it happened so people who bought 0 DC on the S2 could also have a way to lead into K3.>you can just check the famitsu numbers anonMediacreate numbers are used by Nintendo in their own financial statements so those are likely to be the more accurate numbers.>the ps5 version didn't fare much better eitherOf course it didn't, K3 in general sold poorly. Just look at the Steam concurrent player numbers which even if you quadruple just barely match the PS4 and S2 numbers and that's worldwide on PC. Even so, despite having day 1, having already had K1 and K2 on the Switch 1 for a year or so at that point, and having 0 DC in addition to the K1 and K2 ports it still only did that much.I would love if we could know digital numbers, western numbers, Xbox numbers, or actual Steam numbers because it still seems like it's Playstation >>>>>> PC > Switch right now and we have no idea on Xbox numbers. I have to imagine no one is buying it on Xbox despite heavy shilling by Microsoft and Sega is only there because of Microsoft advertising them heavily. I turn my SeX on every day to check AC Shadows' Helix Store's free items and every day I have an ad for Stranger than Heaven on my front page and have for like a week and a half now.

You would have to be insane to expect a remake to do well nigga.> because it still seems like it's Playstation >>>>>> PC > Switch right nowAmusingly enough the switch numbers likely beat the PC ones by now despite the console existing for less than a year.Remember even before the RAMpocalypse PC gaming kept shrinking at a rapid pace in japan.
>>738756267>That's still a late port nigga.Right, but they're trying to get into a brand new market that likely has not played these games. That's the idea anyway.>You would have to be insane to expect a remake to do well nigga.Not really. Not with how 3R didn't even exist on the platform so they had no way to transition to anything else. Obviously I'm not expecting mainline attention but it was still the next game in the series on that platform.>Amusingly enough the switch numbers likely beat the PC ones by nowWe'll see going forward since StH is skipping it. 9 might have a day one but who knows, they might skip S2 until their not-K4 happens.
>>738756476>We'll see going forward since StH is skipping it.you can play xboner games on pc if you have goypass through the microslop store
>>738715378They have Jersey Shore guidos in Japan?
I just want another Sleeping Dogs
>>738737170it looks like the American 70's but the guy in the back looks way more 50's... I dont know much about japan in the 50's
so beef bowls are still fine right? but putting cheese on it makes it kid food? I cant think of a food like that in the US, like, perhaps milk? Milk = fine but not something you drink straight, adding stuff to it makes it a bit more kid like perhaps? but that shit is expensive now
>>738737170I think Makoto is an /fa/ guru so he's ahead of his time

>>738708702Why would he acknowledge it?>Why yes, I blew Chinese money like I blew Nip money. Please give me cash so I can blow it instead of making a game!
>>738715547>Contrast Majima before and after Kiwami....The same?>BUT HE'S SO WACKY XD!Like he was before...?He's just upset Sakura Wars bombed because he thought he was hot shit and could get a gacha to get off the ground. Unfortuantely for him, he's not hot shit and the only reason Sega tolerated him is because he didn't have a mass string of flops. For every Binary Domain, there was a RGG entry.Sakura Wars pounded the flop side of the balance so hard he couldn't recover it with Judge Eyes 2.
>>738719095Wouldn't matter. Sega would have to translate it and gachas on Steam aren't super hot. They wouldn't make the money back HE lost in addition to the translation.
>>738719224>People seemed pretty positive about what was shown.There wasn't anything shown. There was some "slices" of a tech demo of gameplay and then Benedict Wong. That's it.In fact, if Nagoshi REALLY wanted people to make noise, he should've released that vertical slice (if they even had one) on Steam immediately after the trailer as a "demo"/make-noise-if-you-enjoyed-it event thing.
