bring it west on all formats. hopefully it will get new people interested in the series then perhaps new yakuza games will get over here. that's my reasoning.

the more people who can access this...

multi-plat can only be good for the series. get it on xbox and you'll triple sales in the west. it may finally make translation to the west financially viable. anything to get this amazing series a...

First 4 Figures is asking fans to vote for their favorite Sega character. Among the characters you can vote for is Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza series.

If you haven't seen it already they just...

here is a recent article about a fan who offered to give Nintendo his text translation of Mother 3 so they could release the game in the west officially.

maybe some yakuza fans could do the same...

welcome back, hopefully we can do it again and this time get yakuza 5 west.

does anyone have a specific date in mind as to when they will really start worrying about the non-release of this game...

groan... i never really believed it was shenmue or yakuza related, but i was hoping for something a little more interesting than a football management game. not really worth any teaser hype imo.

i didn't think there would be another yakuza game for ps3 but i'd be happy to be proved wrong. a new yakuza game is definitely in the works for vita though, there was that tech demo a couple a years...

gematsu and VG247 posted articles with links to the localisation petition.

even if he could do it, you would probably need to a modded console to play it.

this is fantastic, great find. Haruka lighting up the cigarette towards the end was especially funny.

its interesting how the Asian release of the game gets a full quest companion guide with the whole game script translated in Mandarin, yet they never do anything like this for western territories. ...

social features and multi-player are ok for the first few months after release but gradually die over time when player counts recede. often the servers get turned off after 6 months, after which a...

would be interesting to find out whether Nagoshi even cares if the the series gets localized in the west. i remember an interview a while back where he said that he makes games specifically for a...

he acted much more bravely than i would have, i probably would have behaved like those other people at the station and kept to myself, but i like to think i would have quietly walked away and called...

absolutely agree, there is no other studio in the entire world better suited to the task. the expertise and the technology are all ready to go. they should make it alongside Yakuza 6 for a next gen...

funny sketch, maybe this explains the lack of Shenmue supporters within sega itself, they all "fell" out of high windows.

Gamespot have a gameplay commentary of yakuza 5. there is some negativity towards the game in the comments so be warned. we need to get some yakuza defenders over there.
...

we should find a way to make the petition thread a sticky because i think people are missing it.
is anyone a moderator on this forum that can make stickies?

i vote to make Deekman a moderator if...

it was only ever a rumour that shenmue hd was fully complete, but it could be true for all we know. seems stupid teasing its existence in an interview and then not mentioning it again for over a...

they probably intentionally published a negative opinion of the game so as to provoke argument and debate to get traffic to their site. they are aware that this series has committed cult following. ...

i'm sure we would all prefer there to be no cuts, but sega will say that its a choice between not releasing the game at all, or cutting out 20-40% of the content in order to make the release...

thanks guys, i think i'll get the asia version too, its almost £20 cheaper, so i can put the money towards a better delivery option.

I decided I couldn't wait for for western release so I'm importing the game.

It seems play-asia has 2 different versions to choose from. the asia version is a lot cheaper, which interests me, but...

after all the practice of translating 5 yakuza games, you'd think sega would have this down to fine art now. surely it should get cheaper with each game.

if yakuza 5 doesn't get a west release...

from playing the demo it seemed that the bounding was evening stronger. it was much easier to hit grounded enemies when swinging weapons. you even have occasions where enemies would stick to walls...
