Yakuza: Like a Dragon TGS trailers (Gameplay + western story trailer)
- Thread starter Son of Sparda
- Start date
If nothing else, it's a testament to how much the western versions of the games matter to SEGA.

Might also wanna mention that the website is up, though it doesn't have much apart from the trailer.
Yakuza 6 was a beautifully subdued ending to Kiryu's story that made me cry at several points. They decided to forego the typical bombast of a Yakuza game to make a more intimate, emotional game, and I loved it for that.
This game, on the other hand, seems absolutely bonkers. A near complete 180 from the decisions of 6 while maintaining that signature Yakuza style. I cannot wait to play this!!

Looks like switching to JRPG gameplay allowed them to go all out with the heat moves. That, and turning the alternate costumes into classes is a nice touch.
The real issue here is that there doesn't appear to be any new* retro SEGA games.
It's just a bunch of titles (aside from VF5, which debuted and has constantly appeared since 6) that have been around since 5 and 0.
At least the kart racing mode looks wild.
*The pachislot games technically count, but i doubt anyone is particularly interested in trying them.

Give me Dancer Ichiban, I live for that shit (not really, but goddamn that's a look, ahahahaha)
The fact that Saeko has a Sailor Moon-type wand also has my interests.

I wasn't totally against it, but I'm certainly not impressed after watching the turn-based combat in action. A combat encounter drags on too long.
A Xenoblade combat system would fit better. Auto attacks while you can freely move, and execute heat moves on cooldowns. There will also be moves that should be activated from the side/back of the enemy, as well as combination moves with your companions. And of course, you can still use the summons after fulfilling certain requirements/bars in combat.

I love that the jobs change how your character looks. So good.
This looks really cool. Guess I'll have to play Yakuza Zero as my first game in the Yakuza series someday. I'm never going to play all of them and from what I've read thats the best one.
I'm all for Ichiban, but fuck do I wanna see Kiryu in a Dragon Kart now!
Looks like a Yakuza game to me - are people really not going to play it because it looks turn based? Combat looks like its basically turned into a whole bunch of heat actions.

I agree. Heat moves were the best part of Yakuza combat anyway.
Yes its a traditional japanese card game (Oicho-Kabu)Looks like a Yakuza game to me - are people really not going to play it because it looks turn based? Combat looks like its basically turned into a whole bunch of heat actions.

From Gematsu:
Dragon Kart is a dangerous racing game that turns the town areas of Yokohama into a course you race around in modded karts. Surpass your unique rivals and aim for first place. Also, many dangerous attack items such as a "Rocket Launcher" appear during the race. By using these, you can crash your rivals' karts. Karts can be switched and customized. Polishing your racing skills is one way to go about it, or you can focus completely on attacking your rivals. However you choose to do it, aim to dominate the Grand Prix.
—Drift and corner the kart in a Chinatown-esque cityscape. Polish your techniques and surpass your rivals!
—Many item boxes appear on the course. In addition to boost items, you can also obtain attack items like a Rocket Launcher or Gatling Gun. Fire away to crash your enemies and immediately pass them!
----------------------------
They've also detailed the movie theater mini-game and pachislot, as well as introduce Saeko and Adachi (two of the party members) so definitely give this a read:

Yes! Maybe this is the game that I'll finally get the platin-...... Oh, Mahjong is still there.
Never mind then.
