Bought it to play Yakuza 5, assuming it was backwards compatible like any normal console. Pure fail.

Have it on Gumtree now for 150. Hopefully a result.

Keep it for Yakuza Zero.

Re: Yakuza series

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=219501452

Hey there. Sam Mullen here, producer over at the SEGA/Atlus office managing the SEGA lineup, and I can answer this question for you.

For the last couple of iterations of the Yakuza series, the game translations were handled by our friends over at Inbound Games, an independent SF-based J2E loc firm that SEGA has worked with closely for many many years on many many games (hit them up up, I highly recommend!). Yakuza 5 was handle by them, and Yakuza 0 was as well. I think we can agree they do outstanding work.

But for Yakuza 0, we are really trying to not only take it up a notch, but to take the opportunity to reevaluate our approach to the series localization in general. So even after we got the game text back from Inbound, Scott and his team have spent many hours further polishing the dialogue, taking almost a craftsman-style approach by listening to the JP voice along side the text to make sure the English text set against the Japanese voice feels as natural as possible.

The end results of this fine tuning are very subtle, but the game really shines in a way I've never seen in a Yakuza game before, especially the cutscenes and cabaret club sections. Creating a bilingual experience, one that is very Japanese but still English at the same time is a real challenge, but Yakuza 0 makes it happen. Maybe I'll get Scott to make a video about it.

In any case, whether you are a long term fan, or someone who has been wanting to jump but has hesitated: this is it, guys. This is where the journey begins.
Wow, so nice to hear how Yakuza translations are taken seriously again. Only spells good things for future games..

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Replacement Port Covers
https://s18.postimg.org/j5f5n1b15/s_l500.jpg

Unfortunately, I've also fell victim to my cover ports snapping off which in turn nullified my phones waterproofing.

Seemed to be quite a common complaint about the Z series before they made the ports waterproof without the need for covers.

I was browsing whether it was worth claiming on my insurance before stumbling on a repair video to replace them and it looks painfully easy to do. The example in the video had just the frame disassembled, but the author said they could be put in place with no disassembling required.

£8 purchase from eBay. Wish me luck!

Ryo Hazuki cameo in ESPN NFL Football

I was watching this youtube channel Slopes Game Room, they have features called The Complete History for different series of games, one of which being Shenmue.

They've mentioned in the video something I've heard for the first time ever: Ryo Hazuki has a cameo appearance in ESPN NFL Football on the original Xbox.

Did anyone know about this? Given such a cameo is incredibly obscure for an NFL game, and admittedly the narrator stated they have no found footage of this from the game, I'm still extremely curious/interested to see more.

Check the video out at this timestamp: https://youtu.be/cCdgmSlZ4DQ?t=14m51s

I know exactly which one you mean. I had to pause it I was laughing so hard. It's emblematic of the whole game, just joyous.
Ha! I know what you mean. It was especially cool for me since I was playing Mania with a friend from midnight onwards and we used to play that particular game together competitively years ago. Even remixed the music to it. Amazing..

Re: Yakuza series

Where's the 0 trophy?

Haven't played Kiwami yet. PS4 still broke unfortunately.
https://s1.postimg.org/2njdr6wzjj/001.png

Did I forget to show this one? I certainly don't forget to polish it..

Bravo.

Kiwami is awesome; love the facelift that 1 was given and I love the addition of Mushi King (played it in Japan and it was INTENSE).

Don't like the addition of Pocket Circuit (though how they tied in the stories from 0 was fantastic), especially since it is tons more difficult and Majima Everywhere got old in the 7th chapter.

Oh and Nagoshi wanted to remix the songs to be more modern... WELL THEY'RE WORSE!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Scarlet Scar was an acoustic wonder, now the guitar is drowned out :evil:

I also thought the Pocket Circuit stories were quite funny, even though the activity itself was a grind.

The only previous experience I had of the first Yakuza was a single playthrough on a borrowed PS2, so the whole game was rather fresh to me. Same with Yakuza 2. Many thanks still to Henry for sending me the game as a birthday present!

What I really hope is they don't remix the Blue Scar Blues song from Yakuza 2 in the next Kiwami remake. So fond of that song I still listen occasionally now..

Re: How did they F the Xbox port so badly?

No, it's actually quite amazing. When you hear Ryo speak, he sounds like a true badass and just perfect. Unlike the Japanese version, where he doesn't sound very "cool". I mean, just compare the opening sequence of Shenmue I where after Ryo has Iwao Hazuki in his arms, he shouts "nooooo" in English compared to "father" in Japanese. Hands down, the English version is clearly superior in this instance.

Re: Yakuza series

Just finished kiwami on legendary. With all my stats leveled up in new game plus it was less of a challenge than doing the game on normal mode except for the shooting segment, that part was pretty frustrating especially since when you lose you have to do all the fights in the restaurant beforehand.
That car chase was such a pain. Can't recall how many attempts that took me.

In other news Yakuza 4 & Yakuza 5 are now on PlayStation Now. I may be tempted to play Yakuza 4 again over the week's trial period..

Re: Yakuza series

It's been confirmed Kiwami 2 will retain the Japanese licensed music from Crazy Ken Band. The first time, I think since the original Yakuza 2, this has happened for the Western releases.


This was a big concern of mine when Kiwami 2 was announced. The music adds so much to dramatic scenes of this game.

What music you ask? This one!

d3t. Now I know why the remaster has errors like wrong eye movement and aspect ratio. Somebody needs to reach out to them and explain a few things they're doing improperly before the console versions are baked.
You could do that yourself. Since you've been so vocal about it, why try to persuade someone else?

Since the game and developer have just been announced, I'm sure they'll appreciate constructive feedback..

I never had a problem with the dub back in the day (and just through affiliation, I still don't now) but after becoming accustomed to Japanese voices in Yakuza games, I hope there are Japanese voices with subtitles available in the English version of Shenmue 3..

Re: Yakuza series

Will definitely get a PS4 now that the entire (mainline) series is coming to that console (and it doesn't look like it'll come to PC any time soon).

Is it worth getting a Pro if I mainly plan to just play Yakuza on a 1080p TV? I'll wait until the series is all out to see if they do a cool bundle but Pros don't look like they're dropping in price.
I upgraded to Pro for Yakuza 6, and obviously future games using the Dragon engine.

It bothered me playing the Prologue on a base PS4 with the slow down and screen tears.
