Awesome. We'll see this in the west in 3 years.

All the Yakuza games are exclusive to PS or have been exclusive to PS consoles. I wonder if they will ever localize the other Yakuza games.

They should just rename it PSGS.

Also, yeah, that's never coming over here. Literally, all it takes is one good localization to make that franchise big here, dub and all. No dub, no success.

The Yakuza 1 remake is definitely coming. New chance for SEGA Yakuza to newbies in west.

Every numbered entry (and a spin-off) has made it over here eventually, so it seems a bit premature to say it'll never happen. We'll likely just have to wait several years :p

I more meant in a relevent way. I just think its sad. While I don't think Yakuza would be GTA huge, I think it could be such big franchise over here, like at least SMT big, with proper localization. It's frankly an irrelevant franchise over here, which is criminal because it looks fantastic. Work with Atlus on a compitent dub and market it better than it's being currently.

But it's like, people see these games releasing in japanese only with english subtitles, and they wonder why the games are now barely even getting retail releases over here. Why would anyone what to play a game under those conditions but the most niche loving gamers? Like, imagine how successgul MGS would have been if every game after the original released in japanese with english subtitles, and the first game's dub sucked. That's basically Yakuza in a nut shell. Damn shame.

That's very true. It definitely had the potential to be much bigger in the west than it currently is. Sega just screwed it up and even when they've had chances to correct that, the HD re-releases, they didn't even try to change it. If they had a Yakuza game ready within the first year of PS4 for the west as well then maybe they could have found some success then, but now whatever they do is probably going to be a case of too little too late.


I honestly don't think it's too late. I just don't think they're doing what they need to to make it work. Make Yakuza 6 a game that can be played without knowing the prior games, like with MGSV. Market it as like the Japanese GTA meets MGS camp (even though we all know it's not), and give it some damn good dub voice actors. Market it a little, not even a ton, and it'll guaranteed get like 600-800K sales in the west, if not more. It doesn't need to be some megaton seller, but Jesus Christ, they're sending it to fucking die over here currently.

Nice, get hyped for a game we will never have the chance to play. I have yet to try one of these...
