The previous console generations all had a slew of "hidden gems", games that usually have modest sales that are either loved by the critics and hated by the public or vice-versa, that are usually not perfect but bring forward something new and original to the table, later evolving into ano...
Yesterday I tried Kiwami 2's demo for a little bit and thought it very much improved. Loads of sidequests, the text skip option is like it was (and should be) in the previous engines, not so many clusters of soda machines and a more functional and intuitive menu. I was teased about being able to pla...
I hope the success of Mania convinces Sega to apply the Mania formula to other beloved 2D series. Streets of Rage or Shinobi would be fine candidates. Knowing Sega though, and how theyve turned Sonic & Sega All Star Racing into Team Sonic Racing, I'm not so self-assured hehe
Over the past few days I have finally been playing the Yakuza 6 demo. Past the cutscenes and the short scene in Okinawa, I have to admit the first reaction when you start in Kamurocho was dropping jaws... The level of graphics (and I still don't use a full HD tv) and especially the immersion of the ...
BTW, any less obvious Shenmue references in Yakuza 0? I've only seen the "You Game" arcade signs on Tahei Blvd.. I swear there's an homage to Yu Suzuki in one of Majima's sub stories. He resembles the leader of a cult Majima has to infiltrate. See if you agree when you get to it.. Eeeehhh...

If they initially charged Kiwami for 30 and Kiwami 2 is looking to be at a higher price, there's no reason to bundle them all together if they can sell them individually, like they're doing in Japan (where Yakuza 5 is only expected to be released late spring next year). The games are massive anyway ...
Do you know from which country the Kickstarter bonuses are shiped? Deep Silver is the publisher so perhaps they will be shipped from Europe? Pretty sure that Deep Silver has nothing to do with fulfilling the kickstarter bonuses. They are publishing the game. Fangamer are the ones dealing with the k...
