I could not be more excited for Ace Attorney: Kamurocho Adventures.

[Valyrious]

Huge fan of the Yakuza series. No surprise that this looks wonderful as well. I'll buy anything that the RgG studio creates. Can't wait to see more of this game.

Japan is going to come to a standstill when this game comes out, everyone will be calling into work sick on release day.

A few more Infos on the game introducing the 'friends system':

 

Quote

• “Friend Events” is a system where you deepen your interactions with the residents of Kamurocho to gain various benefits.
• Increasing your evaluation will also bring cases your way.
• Sakura Amamiya is a woman from Sotenbori, Osaka. By befriending her, you can receive an on-duty massage.
• By deepening your bonds with “Ryan Acosta Ninja,” he will come to your aid in battle.
• By deepening your bonds with the manager of Kyushu No.1 Star, he will give you items for use in battle.
• Some friends that can progress into a girlfriend. By increasing your friendship level, you may be asked to go on a date. Conversely, you can also ask them out on a date.

Thank you for sharing. 

 

More Infos on the game:

 

Judgment, previously known as Project Judge (and known in Japan as Judge Eyes: Shinigami no Yuigon) will launch for PlayStation 4 in the Americas and Europe in summer 2019, Sega announced.

In Japan, Judgment will launch on December 13. Two demos, including one featuring the first full chapter of the game, are available now.

The western release of Judgment will feature both English and Japanese voice-overs. The English voice cast includes Greg Chun as protagonist Takayuki Yagami and Joe Zieja as Issei Hoshino. Other supporting actors include Crispin Freeman, Matthew Mercer, Cherami Leigh, Yuri Lowenthal, James Hong, Ed O’Ross, Amy Walker, Matt Yang King, Fred Tatasciore, and Brian McNamara, with guest appearances by SungWon Cho, Cristina Vee, Max Mittelman, and more. Here are more details, via Sega:

Judgment marks the first time in over 12 years that a game set in the Yakuza series universe has received an English dub for its Western release, the last one being the original Yakuza for the PlayStation 2 in 2006. As a result, some extra work was put in to make Judgment‘s English dub a little more complex than most. We wanted to make sure that we preserve the original Japanese script of Judgment as faithfully as possible. Here’s a breakdown of Judgment‘s dub / subtitle features:

• Dual Audio: Players can switch between the Japanese and English voice-over tracks at any point during the game. Experience Judgment using whichever language you prefer!
• Dual Subtitles: Subtitles change based on which audio track is selected – Japanese or English. Japanese voice subtitles are presented in a way that represents the traditional Yakuza experience while English voice subtitles match the English script.
• Localization Pedigree: Judgment’s localization has been handled in-house by SEGA of America’s talented Yakuza series localization team

That's awesome; I wish more games did this. Reading "dubtitles" (as they're sometimes called) can be rather aggravating at times.

[DePablo007]

So excited! Though i wished they just kept the Japanese name

oh nice. Looking forward to play this

[starcrunch061]

All Asians look alike to me, apparently. I swear some of those faces belong to Yakuza characters.

[DEI2EK]

it looks so good

 

 

[Crispy_Oglop]

I'm so happy about this, looks great! Also, if the Yakuza 3, 4 & 5 Remasters/re-releases come to Europe soon, that means I'll be playing Yakuza 3-6 and Judgement in the same year. That is ALOT of Kamurocho and possibly Sotenbori to handle.

[starcrunch061]

Looks good. And it just wouldn't feel like a Yakuza game if I couldn't play Space Harrier!

In that sense, English version here, with actual English voices... which feels weird to me:

 

 

If there's an ingame option to have the Japanese voices, I think I shall switch to them, so long as there as Enlish subtitles, as I sadly, do not speak Japanese and only know of like, 2 or 3 words off the top of my head

[DEI2EK]

It's dual audio yes

Sega has apparently halted all sales of the game in japan after one of the actors from the game was accused of being possession of cocaine. Hope it doesn't affect us as well

A desicion has yet to be made. More Infos via gematsu:

 

Quote

Sega has announced a voluntary halt on shipments and digital sales of Judgment (Judge Eyes: Shinigami no Yuigon) in Japan following news of actor Pierre Taki’s arrest for allegedly using cocaine in violation of Japan’s drug control law.

Taki plays the role of Kyohei Hamura in Judgment. Hamura is the captain of the Matsugane family, a subsidiary of the Tojo Clan based in Kamurocho.

In a press release, Sega said, “Sega has received the arrest reports and are currently confirming the facts, but for the time being, we will voluntarily refrain from shipments and digital sales of [Judgment], as well as from things like posting the product’s homepage. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause for customers, as well as the parties involved.”

In a tweet, Sega added its tweets related to Judgment have also been deleted.

Sega will make an announcement regarding its future course of action as soon as a decision is made.

Judgment launched for PlayStation 4 in December 2018 in Japan, and is due out in the Americas and Europe on June 25. There is no word on whether Taki’s arrest will affect the western release.

It should be noted that when Sega re-released Yakuza 4 for PlayStation 4 in Japan this January, Masayoshi Tanimura (one of the game’s four playable protagonists) was recast to be played by Toshiki Masuda due to original actor Hiroki Narimiya retiring in 2016 following allegations of cocaine abuse.

Update 1:34 a.m.: The Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki reported on Twitter that Sega is currently discussing its course of action regarding the western release of Judgment, and that a decision has not yet been made.
