why people here get so upset with the console launch exclusive label microsoft uses then? it's not a trick when they show it either. it's an exclusive.... for launch. its not up to microsoft to tell people when other versions will release just like it wasnt up to sony to tell people sega could potentially port it to pc years later.
Awesome the more Japanese games to Xbox, the better .
Get on that plane Phil and bring persona too

It's not a lie so much as it is representative of when the game originally released. It was only available on PlayStation at the time of its release, hence the label.So the box art is a lie
Plenty of games with "only on PlayStation" have come to other systems later on.
Kenzen has a very inappropriate story that would not be allowded in the United States it's never going to come out in English. Inshin could but i think its too late
Just release all third party games on Xbox and put pressure on Sony to double down on first party Japanese games and more quality. They can begin with Polyphony Digital and expand them after a decade of complacent and build a mid-sized team to create games similar to Omega Boost.
There was a thread on it recently I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: source. Looking again majority was wrong word to use. Largest single group would be better terminology.

Sony Japan barely has any first-party studios, that would be disastrous.
What
How did you get this conclusion? Anyone said the game should be xbox exclusive or something? Cause ive missed it if they did
Imagine being this salty at the mention of a possibility of a Yakuza port on Xbox that you need to make shit up.
It depends on the scale of the increases, for example 3DS went from it's embarrassing old performance to a CPU setup that outmuscles Vita with n3DS. The bigger issue there is more that most devs didn't bother with the higher performance profile, although the industry is more used to that sort of thing now on consoles.
I tend to agree though that when CS1 does a Switch game it'll likely be something different. Nagoshi seemed more interested in doing something unique for Switch built around the platform.
I also think Fist ports to Switch, Steam and Xbox would've made more sense and might even be a good testing ground since it's a better known IP in the west.
oh okay so you do own an Xbone then right? your post reads as if you don't have one
I would definitely double dip for Yakuza on Xbox.
If they're worried about it, maybe try digital only, a la NieR: Automata?

I don't really get the logic here, potential sales don't really justify the amount of time, effort and risk involved in something like this. I would imagine porting 0 and Kiwami to the Xbox One is a much more small-scale risk as opposed to making a full-blown game that may or may not fail. I can't really blame RGG Studios for reacting this way after using the Wii U port of 1 and 2 as an experiment only for it to not even break top 50 in its debut week with under 2000 copies sold. Even with such modest expectations, that number is extremely disappointing.
Bingo. I feel guilty for having fun while riling them up.
The more people play Yakuza, the better. Though they could have started ten years ago, and probably the series would be already on their system of choice.
Do we know what Sega was up to visiting Microsoft a few months back? If Xbox could begin securing some of these third-party Japanese titles, I'd have much less of a reason to own a PlayStation console.
Xbox is already getting pretty much everything from Sega except Yakuza.
I mean, if we're including Atlus then there's a whole heap of games Xbox is missing out on.
I would buy Yakuza on Xbox and a Binary Domain 2 with the quickness.
I think the new series of Yakuza should be on as many platforms as possible. Really gauge what they can do with It going forward since that's a whole new storyline.

I'm sure it'll happen. They do like to do spinoffs every few games to give them more time to build up the next main game. It'll be interesting to see where they go next (I've seen them mention a couple of times about doing a game set while Kiryu is in school which could be fun in a River City Rampage/Kenka Bancho way)
Sure, I was also referring to Ni no Kuni and how Nier only came to Xbox a whole year later. Nioh, too, unless they have some sort of affilitation with PlayStation I'm unaware of.
The Switch will have a higher userbase than the xbone by the time a hypothetical Yakuza game releases on xbone
Switch is projected to be at 38 millions next march
Sad but true. I thought it was pretty good, but it didn't have much of a visual identity and it was in a genre with a lot of competition.
I'm not sure I really want another BD as such, but I would like seeing that team work on new IP again.
I would probably buy the game if it eventually landed on Xbox, infact, I have a couple of friends who would be all over this if it ever came over to Xbox. Phil go pay a visit to Sega.
Not beyond the realms of expectation now. The localisation team have been doing great work. I think it might happen depending when Shin is due out. But first I want an uncut Yakuza 3 localisation if possible!
Yakuza Kenka Bancho would be dope
Yup. Its not a series I've really jumped into yet, but I've picked up a couple of them on the PSP and they sound sorta like what I'd imagine a Yakuza based in high school could end up like. So I think it could work as a fun spin off.
I kind of wish major Japanese developers would abandon their ridged in-house engines that barely work on the consoles they were designed for all together *cough*Luminous*cough*. Unreal Engine 4 proved that developers want flexible, easy to use engines that work on everything.
While I somewhat agree, I feel like the Dragon Engine would be awesome after they are done developing it. Yakuza 6 to Yakuza Kiwami 2 got a lot of updates that made it smoother so I can definitely see it becoming a great engine.
This game was really awesome. It was like the old delinquent animes I used to watch back in the day.Yakuza Kenka Bancho would be dope
We really need another one of this and Way of The Samurai in English.
I seriously doubt this ever happens. Less because of demand in the west for it, but simply because Yakuza is always a holiday game in Japan while over here it'd be absolutely slaughtered trying to compete with the big boy AAA(A) type games. Even Ubisoft turned tail and took Far Cry to March to avoid the bloodbath that is holidays in the west. Sega don't want none of that shit lol >.<
Y in the west is gonna be a spring or summer game, regardless of how quickly they actually do the localization. Late winter is a possibility (late Jan/Feb) but I see Yakuza mainline entries will continue to do March releases for the foreseeable future
Yeah this along with JoJo can work perfectly. The side stories themselves remind me of the weird shit that happens in JoJo.
I would also love a wrestling Yakuza game that has behind the scene exploration with the player going around doing side stories like the WWE segments and with boss battles and set pieces in the ring.
Is the new Jojo anime any good ? I've been tempting to start reading but the anime looks gorgeous, love the bold colors
