Brian Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Kiryu is back. I am not surprised he is back, but I am by how quickly. He took only 1 game off. The hardest working man in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 More Yakuza (I better get back to finishing up LJ so I can finally tackle yakuza 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 This game's naming convention makes zero sense whatsoever It's essentially mashing together the Yakuza numbering with the Like a Dragon name and coming up with something totally nonsensical!

Actually Like a Dragon is what it's actual name is in japan (龍が如く) translated to english. It was never called yakuza there, only in the west. As for why now to finally drop the Yakuza name I'm not sure and is a bit silly even though the name has less to do with the stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - which means it should be "Like a Dragon 8" in Japan and "Like a Dragon 2" in the West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcement today is coming from a rgs/sega even in Japan. I think for 7 it was simply announced under its japanese name and everybody called it Yakuza 7 until they changed it later to Yakuza: LAD.

Brian Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Quote "Do we want to put a title like this where we're going around and picking a fight with the world and doing all this Yakuza stuff, on a Switch," Yokoyama explained. According to the producer, the family-friendly image of the Switch in its home ground of Japan clashes with the "underground feeling" that Yakuza games project. "We still kind of think of ourselves as people of the night world, right? We don't want to be like walking around the day with everybody else," Yokoyama said. "Like for us, it's kind of showing this kind of underground feeling. I think the underground kind of feeling is what we want to do." Sorry @GameDadGrant Nintendo can change that image by releasing a Switch Pro along with BOTW2 and Metroid Prime 4.

Has this executive producer spent 5 minutes browsing the degenerate fucking eshop? Anyway, this gonna be more turn-based, right? I think the brawling in these games sucks ass, but would love to see how they develop the turn-based system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfft. It's coming to Steam, so if I played games like this, I'd just play it on my Deck! Weird excuse by the developer not to put it on Switch. But no big deal, I'm not mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
