Forums - Gaming Discussion - Yakuza Restoration Announced By Sega

PS3 and Wii U is my guess. They did that experiment for a reason.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I don't know why they would even bother with a U version, after they saw the sales of the HD remake of 1+2. I'd say PS3 for sure and maybe Vita and/or PS4 too

We can't say that until we know what their expectations were.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Your right, but you dont want to be right in this case.Let's say this new Yakuza is currently for PS3 and they were iffy about a Wii U port. Then somebody said "Hey!.. lets make a HD port for Wii U and base interest off that port". The port did not make the top 20 or 50 and is estimated to have sold less than 2000 copies...I wish SEGA would expand the series to as many people as possible, but I dont think a Wii U version is going to happen.



I'd say based off the title and the image this is definitely probably based on the Meiji Restoration period (1868 to 1912 ).

It looks to be the sequel for Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. For which platform? From the look of the poster looks to be this gen for PS3 and maybe for Wii U is my guess.


Its not, just because its another samurai Yakuza doesnt mean its a sequel to Kenzan, its in a completely different era. WiiU? Yakuza HD U sold less than 2000 copies I doubt Sega will ever bother with that console again after their 3 game deal.

Not appreciated, at all.

But in all honestly, what did Sega think they were going to profit on a HD remake of two very old games?



in before ios only game ...



Player Y4 after much intrigue about the series. Never again. Truly one of the worst game experiences I have ever had.

Couldn't get past that mini game with fat guy wearing a thong on his face doing acrobats across the side of buildings. Stupid game.



I'm surprised people are suggesting Wii-U for this.

There's meeting "low expectations" i.e. maybe scraping 10k after a few weeks and showing there's some interest in the series on Nintendo consoles; and then there's "not-charting-in-the-top-50-on-Media-Create-in-a-week-with-not-much-competition". So far, the experiment has demonstrated the latter.

If this is on Wii-U as well as PS3/4/Vita (I don't doubt it'll appear on one of the Sony consoles), then that'll only be because it's development was started before the HD Collection drew close to release. Or Nintendo paid for it as part of their deal. Because there's no way it's migrating on its own after those sales.

I suspect it'll be PS4 given a) Nagoshi said he was done with PS3; b) They did the same thing with Yakuza Kenzan to bridge the gap between the main series making the jump to next gen and c) They haven't announced a console yet, which seems a bit strange.

I always hope things like this come to Vita, but we won't be seeing it localized regardless (I think Yakuza is done in the west), so I guess it doesn't really matter.
