#YAKUZA KIWAMI MAJIMA EMAIL SERIES#
Yakuza Kiwami games – remakes of the first two parts of the series – did well, and this includes two games that were already available in the West! These spin-offs will start from scratch, not to mention the attraction beyond the existing ones Yakuza fans of a potentially wider audience who reveled in the setting of, say, Ghost of Tsushima.Īnyway, I’m not here to requirement these games. But even if it requires some work – and in case Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!a little serious work – in order to speed up games on modern hardware in line with modern expectations, there has never been a better time to pull the trigger for these expenses. However, the game is also almost 7 years old, so we may need some extra work to remake it instead of a simple port, so the solution is a bit more complicated.ĭespite the potential of these claims and the fact that the developers have said they are working on games that go beyond Yakuza as well as Judgment series, since then we have not heard anything about such a possibility. In my opinion, the action is one of the best in the series, so I would like to localize them if we get the chance. We prioritized regaining ground with a series in the West with Yakuza 0so time just flew by without a perfect time to release these games. Personally, I would like these games to be localized and appeal to our Western fans. Now they’ve been joined by (or replaced by) the technical issues we only talked about last year when director Daisuke Sato said: (it says here that the other Yakuza spin-off, heavy gun Dead Souls, was given the English-language release, which says a lot about Sega’s attitude towards the Western market). The first was the understandable fear that if no one buys the main Yakuza games, why do they need these spin-offs? However, as this was gradually eroded by the series’ growing popularity in the West, there were concerns that much of the games’ atmosphere would be lost to Western audiences who would not be as familiar with the nuances of the time. Sega and developers Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have long had several reasons to keep these games in Japan. They look great! I really want to play them! Yakuza The game is sent back in time and players still control Kazuma Kiryu, only now his name is Kazumanosuke Kiryu and instead of a gangster he is a retired swordsman who now works as a bodyguard.Ĭhina even has, if you’re a fan of the karaoke scenes in the main games, its own historical perspective: In 2008, Sega released Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! for PS3, which I think can best be described as Yakuza holiday is special. I know it sounds absurd given the number and notoriety Yakuza games are around these days, but it’s true! In fact, people were so concerned about it that every tiny change Sega made to Yakuza 3 The English release was scrutinized to hell, and fans were horrified that any little thing that could potentially hurt sales would spell the end of the series in the West.Īll this fear, of course, meant nothing – Yakuza 3 just fine, and the rest is history, but all these concerns about low sales help to understand why around the same time Yakuza the game was released in Japan (later followed by a sequel), which we still cannot play in English. But it was not always so! Between release Yakuza 2 as well as 3 things were looking for incredible risky for English speakers, and there were real concerns that if Yakuza 3 didn’t sell well, it would have been the last franchise game we’ve ever seen here.

In 2022 Yakuza it’s quite a big series in the West, as we saw yesterday when eight games out on PlayStation Plus.
