Now that I beat Judgment and am plugging away at Black Panther 1 while hoping for news on the remasters (or Ishin). I have a wish list of what I'd like to see in Shin Yakuza.
lots of stuff
Basically with the 4th Dragon Engine game I want them to go all out in terms of content.
I mean, yeah I'd love to see lots of that included, but I don't think we are getting that much content. I'd expect an increase over Kiwami 2 and Judgment but I don't think its likely we are ever seeing another game Yakuza 5 sized again - dev time with the new engine takes longer, so getting 5 cities (or even 3 cities of modest size) doesn't seem feasible to me.
Mini game wise I think its likely much of what was in before will return aside from a few arcade games - because I want Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone out, and new arcade games in - I've been playing SH on my 3DS this week, and honestly with Sega having probably the most varied line up of arcade games ever, there's really no need to have games return again and again. Even in terms of Virtua Fighter - gimme a arcade perfect port of VF3 to make a change - but I guess it helps dev time to recycle some things to pad out content (and its not like I mind having the games appear multiple times, I just wish for more variety especially with stuff like Motor Raid which was never ported before).
Hoping Bowling and Pool come back, those have been gone for a while and are fun. They are kinda staples of the series and I hope to see at least one return.
Honestly, what I want to see is another unique combat style for Ichiban - he doesn't need to have multiple, he can be like Kiryu in 5 and just have one damn good style - it just needs to be fleshed out with plenty of moves and heat moves. I expect his fighting style to be more brutal, rougher compared to Kiryu's since he's a pretty violent brute at heart. Also, lots of weapons and interaction with the environment.
No voiced side stories except girlfriend stuff - I want more rather than less. Quality isn't an issue as previous games managed just fine.
Arena needs to be in. And seeing that it still exists in RGG Online, I see no reason to worry about it here.
Definitely a second city, a new place would be nice. A nice sized place with its own unique stuff to do.
Blend Hostess and girlfriend mechanics together - I prefer how girlfriends were handled in Judge Eyes, but want hostess clubs back because that's a staple of the series. So blend the two together somehow and I'll be happy.
Expand Kamurocho - gimme the underground mall back for starters. Make Kamurocho Hills a big shopping area finally, and maybe expand the city out a block or two further if possible. I know we are returning but I hope for more to do in the city.
Introduce proper mini game tutorials for Shogi. Because I still suck at playing :(
Haha, Gematsu reported on it like 50 mins ago, seeing Akumatica's post reminded me to check!
Grats to Eri though. c: Kinda sucks they teased informations just to say "lol, August 29th". Oh well :P
But the info they teased was based on the actress that would be cast. I literally expected nothing else, I'm more surprised we are getting more info on August 29th, I'd have thought they'd just wait until TGS to show off more. Oh well, less time to wait then!
