Happy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Interesting to see that they're using the dragon engine, hopefully they'll have expanded on Y6's combat for this. The announcement of a new Ryu ga Gotoku only means one thing: It's time for another round of everybody's favorite game "when will they localize it". Post your predictions for the western release and whoever gets the closest gets a Subway coupon. Bonus points if your guess is that they're never gonna localize it and it comes true. My guess it a Dec 20th 2017 release in Japan and a April 14th 2019 release for the west. Edited August 25, 2017 by Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntatsi Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm super hyped for Kiwami on Tuesday so this is awesome. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is such a weird name though, Kiwami makes sense as a remake for the first but adding two to the end of the first remake's name seems weird to me...

ShadowStar83x Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'd be shocked if the west didn't get it at some point. Hoping there's truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_Sanchez Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) YES! Now as soon as I get Yakuza 0 and this comes out, I'll eventually have the entire franchise platinumed out. Edited August 26, 2017 by Rick_Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 This is the best news I've heard in a while! I can't wait to see how it looks on PS4. Now I'll be able to plat all of the mainline games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''There will be a live broadcast for the event and some of the titles are already known to us''. (hinting at remakes of Y3 and Y4?). He concludes by saying ''That is not all, there will be surprises''. JapanimeGamer Edited August 25, 2017 by JapanimeGamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I was actually thinking of getting Yakuza 2 on PS2 a few months ago, but it's pretty pricey nowadays (in the UK at least), and I figured they would probably remake/re-release the second game on the PS4 eventually anyway, so I held off on it. Glad to see my prediction was correct, now to likely wait till late 2018/early 2019 for this to release in the west... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senbon Kaguya Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. And here I was saying they were gonna do one after they reprinted Yakuza 2 again lmao. You can never have enough of Yakuza, even if 7 isn't Kiryu anymore. I put all of my time into these games when they get localized or if I import one. which is happening tuesday.

Kiwami means extreme, so having Yakuza Extreme and Yakuza Extreme 2 does makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeteorHawk Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Just after I drop more than a few €€€ on a PS2 copy of Yakuza 2 they go and announce this ? Oh well, I'll play it and then when I get Kiwami 2 it'll be relatively fresh in my mind and can compare them easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
