Its crazy the transformation of the Yakuza series from "cool but slightly smaller-budget series" to "we have so much money now we can basically do anything we want to"
It went from a niche game loved by a hardcore fanbase to Sega's flagship series... which is still loved by a hardcore fanbase. It's one of those series that has an amazing fandom, like Monster Hunter. Totally deserved, this series always fires on all cylinders. I'd say the weakest entries in the series are 3 and 6, and they're still FUCKING LEAGUES above any other franchise in terms of just sheer fun and value for your money.
@@DVAcmefunny enough, 6 was my introduction into the series. Saw it at a GameStop right before Covid hit for like 12 bucks. I’ve been a huge fan ever since… I agree 6 and 3 are the worst… but never was I like “damn this kinda sucks” and just how every game has an insane plot twist
100% has a much smaller budget. RGG's entire gameplan is reusing as many assets as efficiently and creatively as possible, so it's not unreasonable to assume that less than half of the content in this game is actually brand new
They come out with like, at least one game every year or so, on average. Maybe a bit longer. Reuse every asset they can find an excuse to reuse (especially the minigames). Somehow it still ends up amazing each time.
@@natchu96 Cause they reuse assets, but NOT gameplay, they're always coming up with hilarious and fun new twists to old ideas. It's like buying tons of GI Joes as a kid, but instead of using them all the time as GI Joe and Cobra, you start giving them new names and making up new things for them to do.
@@Steve-uw8ff Reusing assets is the best practice, that cuts the development time and cost, and make the games of the company consistent without difficulty.
Someone tell baldy that Yakuza 8 had Pokemon with homeless people. Edit: For those of you confused, the previous game, Yakuza 8 (Infinite Wealth), had a mini game where you could catch random people on the street/homeless people and make them fight others. There was a whole pokemon style gym battles storyline. The name of the minigame was Sujimon. Super fun. There is a water-type gym where the leader is a hot chick who owns a swimming pool and her 'pokemon' basically are just her simps/white knights who fight for her lol.
Them yakuza mini games was no joke. Cabaret clubs in 0 and Kiwani were my favorite. I put so many hrs leveling up and getting all trophies attached to them and eventually both games
I would say the same thing about Zenless Zone Zero devs. They're the best in the business. I never played any Yakuza stuff, who would have thought that SEGA would publish for studios that do things that are so off-the-wall, cool and unique? We need more of that in the games industry.
@@Riaining7 Hoyoverse? Best in the business? They can't even achieve that in the f2p Gatcha sphere. People hate Genshin and Honkai now, WuWa is catching up to Genshin in terms of popularity and most people talk about how hot the ZZZ characters are but barely anyone is talking about the gameplay. Not to mention they are amping up the powercreep in Honkai and Genshin and locking new exploration mechanics behind characters in Genshin. Sure, you can use the saurians in Natlan but good luck doing that in the 5 other regions. Compared to other Gatcha community, Hoyoverse has the most toxic community in the market and part of the reason is their devs does not listen to their fans at all.
To explain, the devs made the last game set in Hawaii where the MC washes ashore naked from Japan. They didn't want to waste resuing the assets because the series got away with reusing the same assets just slightly upgraded every new release for almost 2 decades now so they tried to figure a new plot for there Hawaii map. So they went with pirates and this series has been insane for decades so this is all pretty normal. Like Majima has had shadow clones since 4. And his current pirate look comes from the zombie shooter they made when that was popular. The series has a big budget because all of the product placement in there setting because usually being set in Japan they can just make health items real world energy, food or medical drinks and other such stuff along with signs and more. Along with being owned by Sega can just put old Sega games and different real life stores to cover cost. Spend it on high profile actors and VA's along with just make new stuff when needed and this game has a highly logical budget just used well. This is just the most crack it has ever been with them blowing money cause all the previous ships seen were like small ass model boats not full size galleons you can ride. The locations are actually just retextured game enviroments like the volcano was an old snow hunting map on a mountian you would hunt bears and other animals at. This team just has insane reusability and recycling chops to when they do go crazy they can be stupid crazy. Also over 100 mini games of full on just other gamess from decades of things they came up with to just fuck around and do. People will not be surprised when they go into space and just do a space Yakuza game.
Okay, you might not gonna believe me, but let me tell you, this is a serious game about the decline of japanese criminal syndicate, trying their best to reform their way and rehabilitate the former members. I swear this is serious game. Are we clear? Now where is my magical girl majima costume, I need to score the perfect score on 24 hour cinderella karaoke.
Me when I play this: trying to take a cutscene where a character I liked died seriously and failing because I dressed Majima up like a cabaret hostess.
That's the most amazing part about this series: within the span of an hour, you can go from laughing your tits off at fighting a yakuza boss and his gang with a diaper fetish, to one of your allies dying dramatically and tragically and bawling your eyes out. This series is about wringing every emotion you have from you except one: BOREDOM.
Yakuza is that franchise where one minute you're working at a caberet where guys pay to hang out with hot chicks, then you could be doing a side quest for a child who wants a crane game toy, and then you could be outdoing a bunch of kids at pocket circuit racing. This is all in one game btw, and I haven't even mentioned the chicken you unlock from a bowling side quest that can help you finance real estate!!
Yakuza is the series where you can become the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, yet live in the spare room of a whorehouse. It's THE BEST THING EVER.
This is why I love these games. The Yakuza serries is not afraid to just be fun. Things do not always need to make sense. Just make them fun and people will enjoy it and buy more of your games
Yeah, Asmon looks like that at every game, that come out while he was in his WoW period. If a new game just copy paste an older game he treats it like the second coming of Christ. And his twitch audience isn't better tbf.
@@CrzyLion It's one thing to play them, it's another thing to be at least aware of them. Especially if he's comparing it to other games, talking about it's impact and whatsoever.
Yakuza has 100% been exactly this from day 1 decades ago. _They just ramp up_ *EVERYTHING* _with each new installment._ Whether spin-off or mainline series game. *But each entry is **_easily_** a hundred hour time sink too.* So be careful.
It hasn't been like this since day 1, it really embraced the dual dimensions of super serious main story soap opera with manly yakuza dudes punching each other for honor and super silly side missions and mini games where you learn how to dropkick by pulling out your flip phone and recording an old lady on a mobility scooter jump over a car in the third entry, Yakuza 3. Since then, the first two games have been remade with the dual dimensions aspect added after in the Kiwami remakes. Trust me dude, the first two yakuza games original versions weren't this silly, but I'm glad the series ended up here. The silly side missions and mini games really do provide a relief from the emotionally intense main stories.
Actually, I think the first twos on ps2 already showed some signs of silliness. They have many mini games, and a good number of silly side missions too, they don't want to go all out crazy yet as they want to test the water and the studio was still small back then, one wrong move and it's over, as Japanese business culture tends to be merciless. They just really paid attention to how the fans think, and slowly, they show us their true colors like they are now, and we all love them, a mix seriousness and silliness.
If anybody wondering, yes that is Hawaii. They are literally showing Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Chinatown. I'm so surprised how close they recreated it while avoiding copyright issues. Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Ala Moana Mall and River st/Chinatown.
I haven't played Infinite Wealth yet, I didn't know they went that true-to-life with the setting that's dope. Though, honestly, it shouldn't surprise me, considering how accurate Kabuki-cho and Osaka already were. We're talking about guys who are masters at their craft at this point. They're to open-world brawlers what FromSoft are to action RPGs.
This is an important topic in gaming actually. Because massive buildings are public and visible to everyone, you can't really put a copyright on them. You just can't name them the same exact thing. That's why we have empire state building copies or golden gate bridge etc
I think gamers have pretty much had their fill of "realistic games and realism" in video games. They just want games to be games again. Realistic games are fine but when every other game is going for realism, it becomes stale and predictable, and as of late, companies haven't even been getting the realism part correct either. They just want games to be fun
Depends as long as the game is well writen and fun , i love kingdom come dileverance becuse it's historicly acurate , we can have bouth as long as it's done right
May i state this, ready or not………..your never ready, the ai in that game will run behind your team after you have cleared a area unclearing it, and honestly the lore, goddammit the lore
Ubisoft: Let's do accurately historical works that align to our propagandas. **fails miserably** RGG: Let's do some super mumbo-jumbo that aligns to our hysteria. **crowd goes wild**
To be fair i dont think this is really such an immersive pirate experience. Looks totally over the top and thats ok. But id rather have a pirate game that doesnt feel like pirate superheroes on steroids. And no im not defending ubislop and their trash game
Yeah Like a Dragon just said "You know what Majima deserves? A vacation where he gets to go apeshit. As a pirate. In Hawaii." And everyone went hell yeah.
We need more games like this. Everybody is so focused on making a cinematic masterpiece (and don't get me wrong, I do love those) but so many studios have forgotten about the roots of gaming. Wacky wild adventure games that make no sense but are insanely fun to play!
This game look trash ASF what are you people 12?😂 Assassin creed black flag was the last good pirate game ever made everything else looks like bullshit
@@Zan-vk6gb comparing this to something like black flag is just a bulshit disingenuous comparison. It would be more accurate to compare it to something along the lines of sea of thieves. It is obviously a very different style of game. And that's the whole point I made. So many studios have completely forgotten the arcadia, goofy, action-filled nonsense kind of games that so many of us grew up on back in the early 2000s. So yes, it does look like a fun game to me. It is a very different kind of experience do something like Black flag. I am sooooo sorry if I have offended you by simply having a different opinion😱. I promise I will try harder to conform to exactly what you like in the future...
We are not saying AC4 black flag is not a masterpiece because the Black flag is a masterpiece nobody denying it. Best pirate game yes. You do like fun game with wakcky good story telling maybe tear jerk Yakuza is one of those Fun but can be emotional too and can also be cringy give it a go without being biased like you are now berating a game and comparing.
"This feels like watching 4 games at the same time."... Pretty much the first impression I had after having played through Yakuza 0. Still have yet to play through the rest of the series.
U will enjoy 3 a lot give that when the game was at it top when it come to story not saying all the other is bad it just they will finish he story before 4 and 5 came alone to mix it up and we know how 6 is aka like a dragon came in
This is probably the best middle finger Sega can give to other AAA companies with an over the top game. It reminds me a bit of Saints Row 3 and 4 with the overpowered skills.
It's funny how the Yakuza franchise looks really silly if you look at the trailers. But it also legit has a serious and emotional story at the same time. They strike the perfect balance.
Like my first exposure to the franchise was Kiryu singing karaoke and Majima roller skate dancing while singing with backup dancers that are in roller skates too, so I was like "surely this is a lighthearted game", and boy was I wrong. There's a lot of painful and serious moments underneath that fun cover
One moment i watching two brothers say their goodbye and go their separated way for the sake of both, then on the next I'm on a training karaoke date with a hostess working in a cabaret club that I'm its manager.
It’s getting there. It was like a year or two pre-COVID I remember zero really took off for some reason and the ball been rolling faster and bigger for the series ever since. That’s from my noticing though.
Giant sharks and parrots, boomerang swords, and magic ninjitsu clones - cut to reality and what everone else sees Majima screaming hysterically while hitting an unconscious man over and over with a baseball bat
Majima laughing maniacally while firing lasers at a ship. Cut yo reality where he is on a cardboard box attached to a skateboard using laser points at people
actually, the only one living in a fantasy is ichiban, majima is actually pretty sane, he plays the character of being insane (he kinda is obsessed with kiryu tho.)
DUDE. THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS MUCH OF A JOKE AS YOU INTENDED. This game will inevitably draw discourse about how it compares to Skull And Bones (and by extension, Black Flag), and that's only gonna make Ubisoft once again look like shit. Not to mention it's a Japanese-developed game in a Western setting, which would draw DIRECT comparison to AC Shadows, which is a Western game set in an Eastern setting.
You know the best part. Is you can trust that studio to deliver a good product. They have a very good track record! They have also shown consistent IMPROVEMENT. This studio deserves your money. Ubisoft been real quiet since this dropped though 15:00 "ng+ will be available for FREEEE" Imagine that they listened to their players and even turned it into a meme. =] That was the one major complaint on their last title Asmon acting like he hasn't played Ichiban games and that's a damn crime. Those two games are, imo, the best turn based combat games on the market. They are so good!
Funny that he mentions everything looks like a mod. Yakuza is effectively the devs grabbing everything they've done before and stitching it all back together. Anything and Everything is on the table. You could see things from 4 games ago or a deep cut from the beggining. Truly a resourceful devi studio
@@arthurfelipe9980 Basically, the philosophy behind this decision is to make all the 10 Yakuza games be instantly recognizible and inviting for returning players to pick up. They are not the same games, new mechanics are constantly being added and tweaked and sometimes even reworked. But by the tone of your comment, you probably think FromSoftware is the first to ever do this (lmao)
As to how they're doing it, this studio is the master of reusing assets. Yakuza 0 is considered by many(maybe most) to be the best game in the whole series, and it's basically an asset Frankenstein's Monster of like 3 other games.
Western studios might be better at innovation, but Japanese corporates are better managing iteration. Don’t even need to look far, Elden Ring is the shining example of making good use of old assets and ideas. Someone once explained that it’s very simple, Japanese corporate try to retain creative managers, who gave good grasp on their organisation and situation, who make good use of old assets their team created in the past rather than circling through middle managers who have no idea what they made, and waste time making new stuffs rather than reusing good old stuffs. The effect on staff morale is profound too. If you are told your old works are going to be thrown out after the game release, you would work very different compare to if the assets you made 5 years ago are going to be feature on the box art.
Idk if yall noticed this but it looks like you can play Virtua Fighter 3 in this. This wouldn't be the first time they put an entirely different sega game inside of a Yakuza game, lol. In fact, for a while, it was the only way to play Virtua Fighter 5 on modern consoles. It ended up driving up interest in VF enough that it got its own separate official release, and we are finally getting a VF6 after nearly 20 years. Yakuza is so powerful and unhinged it ended up saving Virtua Fighter.
Somebody in the studio really looked at Majima's eyepatch and said "Yo, is this guy a pirate? Well, why not?" And everyone else was like "That's actually a good question."
Would be a good plot twist. He wakes up and is like I guess that was all a dream. Alright well let’s go find Ichiban and then the next game starts haha.
Ubisoft: Spent 7 years to make AAAA game that disappointed everyone RGG Studios: Made new banger only in 1 year, with not really big budget and with horrific amount of content
This is peak entertainment. Edward Kenway but Yakuza, lazers, better ship customization, huge tits and summoning sharks. TAKE MY GOD DAMN MONEY FOR PREMIUM STARTER PACK ASAP!!!
The ridiculousness of the Like A Dragon series with the old (and by the looks of it, improved) action combat of the old Yakuza games. Oh boy this game is gonna be GOOOOOD
i dont know why you compare the totally different games....but to answer your question, they did add land vehicles. also one might say they always had vehicles add launch...you know, space ships and such. xD
that lobster is a specific character from a side quest with Ichiban in Like a Dragon. I stil need to play Infinite wealth since thats when everybody goes to hawaii
Anyone who played 7 will feel so vindicated when they use his shadow clone attack, considering we were on the receiving end of it in his boss fight in 7.
@@satyamSaha He was mostly reacting to the controversy in regards to NG+, pricing and different editions, not the game itself or its content, but fair enough I guess, he did talk about it before.
@@WarriorShooter7Notice how in this trailer they stated that NG+ will be free as a patch. RGG listened to the backlash. They’ve some tight quality control.
Majima, the man who went from the pillar of the Tojo becoming a pirate captain of the seven seas, what a bloody time to be alive. edit: which honestly, seemed pretty based. Would play ngl.
RGG is so far the only studio i would spend full price or hell even pre purchase, they know what the fans want and what they could have done better. They reused the assets cleverly too so they can remain the quality despite releasing games every year
RGG Studio really saw Sea of Thieves, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Skull and Bones, said "Hold my RUM!" and made a game that is x100 times better than all 3 of those games combined, in 1/4 of the time. INSANE. Eastern devs are a different breed entirely. THIS IS WHAT THE GAMING INDUSTRY NEEDS!!!
@@АлександрПеремитин-о1я Project Century looks like Yakuza with an HD blood enabled mod minus the fever dreams. That is until we see the underlying systems it might use lol.
As long as the investors make money they will gladly shut up, and fortunately, RGG makes alot of money by milking their franchise... Which every single other studios also do, except RGG knows how to actually milk their cow right instead of stabbing it with a straw
And this is just an in-between game that reuses a lot of assets from Like A Dragon 8. Like how 'Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name' was an in-between game.
This game is doing exactly what I think many modern games have lost. Hey lets do this thing because its a video game and there are no "realistic" things in a video game. Just fun because game!
And also look at the physics of the hits, the ship that got hit got well shaken, well different from skull and bones,where they focused physics on the water but left out all the rest

@@myownegothat's one of the best side quests 😂
With a side of serious crime drama... and Karaoke!
This is why I love these games. The Yakuza serries is not afraid to just be fun. Things do not always need to make sense. Just make them fun and people will enjoy it and buy more of your games
Just make it anime and all the weirdos will come crawling.
I've never seen someone look so surprised at a yakuza game, except for the pirates it's been like this for years.
Yeah, Asmon looks like that at every game, that come out while he was in his WoW period. If a new game just copy paste an older game he treats it like the second coming of Christ.
And his twitch audience isn't better tbf.
@@Delenai i too am angered when people dont have the same life experience, down to the details of which games they played, as me.
Well Asmongold has no idea what kinda rabbit hole he went into.
It's always fun to see someone checking a yakuza game for the first time.
@@CrzyLion It's one thing to play them, it's another thing to be at least aware of them.
Especially if he's comparing it to other games, talking about it's impact and whatsoever.
Yakuza has 100% been exactly this from day 1 decades ago. _They just ramp up_ *EVERYTHING* _with each new installment._ Whether spin-off or mainline series game.
*But each entry is **_easily_** a hundred hour time sink too.* So be careful.
Ain’t no being too careful living the pirate life, this game I would not mind at all to sink that much time into.
It hasn't been like this since day 1, it really embraced the dual dimensions of super serious main story soap opera with manly yakuza dudes punching each other for honor and super silly side missions and mini games where you learn how to dropkick by pulling out your flip phone and recording an old lady on a mobility scooter jump over a car in the third entry, Yakuza 3. Since then, the first two games have been remade with the dual dimensions aspect added after in the Kiwami remakes. Trust me dude, the first two yakuza games original versions weren't this silly, but I'm glad the series ended up here. The silly side missions and mini games really do provide a relief from the emotionally intense main stories.
No it isn’t Yakuza one and two are below 30 hours unless you do the dumb (and borderline evil) mini-games.
Actually, I think the first twos on ps2 already showed some signs of silliness. They have many mini games, and a good number of silly side missions too, they don't want to go all out crazy yet as they want to test the water and the studio was still small back then, one wrong move and it's over, as Japanese business culture tends to be merciless. They just really paid attention to how the fans think, and slowly, they show us their true colors like they are now, and we all love them, a mix seriousness and silliness.
Yeah they're massive time sinks, unless you just do the main story, which tbh is wasting the game.
If anybody wondering, yes that is Hawaii. They are literally showing Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Chinatown. I'm so surprised how close they recreated it while avoiding copyright issues. Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Ala Moana Mall and River st/Chinatown.
I haven't played Infinite Wealth yet, I didn't know they went that true-to-life with the setting that's dope.
Though, honestly, it shouldn't surprise me, considering how accurate Kabuki-cho and Osaka already were. We're talking about guys who are masters at their craft at this point. They're to open-world brawlers what FromSoft are to action RPGs.
Meanwhile Ubisoft can't even recreate feudal Japan correctly.
It's all looks so close to IRL, can't wait!
You can't copyright a location dude
This is an important topic in gaming actually. Because massive buildings are public and visible to everyone, you can't really put a copyright on them. You just can't name them the same exact thing. That's why we have empire state building copies or golden gate bridge etc
"yes this game is canon and your gonna to need a lot of them"

I have a few but I did start Judgment and I'm going to return soon, maybe after I'm done GhostWire Tokyo.
I think gamers have pretty much had their fill of "realistic games and realism" in video games. They just want games to be games again. Realistic games are fine but when every other game is going for realism, it becomes stale and predictable, and as of late, companies haven't even been getting the realism part correct either. They just want games to be fun
This, ffs! I play games to escape reality, not to emulate it. Could not have said it better.
Depends as long as the game is well writen and fun , i love kingdom come dileverance becuse it's historicly acurate , we can have bouth as long as it's done right
Not at all, don't speak for everyone. I just want game to be fun and realistic games can be fun too. It's lazy cashgrab with no souls i hate.
True.
Realism gaming is overrated.

yakuza games main story are absolutely cinema as well
This game look trash ASF what are you people 12?😂 Assassin creed black flag was the last good pirate game ever made everything else looks like bullshit
@@Zan-vk6gb comparing this to something like black flag is just a bulshit disingenuous comparison. It would be more accurate to compare it to something along the lines of sea of thieves. It is obviously a very different style of game. And that's the whole point I made. So many studios have completely forgotten the arcadia, goofy, action-filled nonsense kind of games that so many of us grew up on back in the early 2000s. So yes, it does look like a fun game to me. It is a very different kind of experience do something like Black flag.
I am sooooo sorry if I have offended you by simply having a different opinion😱. I promise I will try harder to conform to exactly what you like in the future...
We are not saying AC4 black flag is not a masterpiece because the Black flag is a masterpiece nobody denying it. Best pirate game yes. You do like fun game with wakcky good story telling maybe tear jerk Yakuza is one of those Fun but can be emotional too and can also be cringy give it a go without being biased like you are now berating a game and comparing.
@nubbyfresh5623 you compare it to Ubisoft games so why not compare to black flag plus nobody reading all that nobody.
"This feels like watching 4 games at the same time."... Pretty much the first impression I had after having played through Yakuza 0. Still have yet to play through the rest of the series.
U will enjoy 3 a lot give that when the game was at it top when it come to story not saying all the other is bad it just they will finish he story before 4 and 5 came alone to mix it up and we know how 6 is aka like a dragon came in
@@demonluck999 Wait, wasn't that 7 where they changed it to Like a Dragon?

This is probably the best middle finger Sega can give to other AAA companies with an over the top game. It reminds me a bit of Saints Row 3 and 4 with the overpowered skills.
I fucking love watching franchises that have been laying in the cut for years suddenly burst out of the water and eat lazy AAA developers lunch.
That's Yakuza in a nutshell
Fast and the Furious syndrome
Worse then saints row. At least saints row stuck to what it was.
It's funny how the Yakuza franchise looks really silly if you look at the trailers. But it also legit has a serious and emotional story at the same time. They strike the perfect balance.
Draw people in with wacky antics and make them stay for peak storytelling.
Like my first exposure to the franchise was Kiryu singing karaoke and Majima roller skate dancing while singing with backup dancers that are in roller skates too, so I was like "surely this is a lighthearted game", and boy was I wrong. There's a lot of painful and serious moments underneath that fun cover
nah
story are not often good, 0 is pretty nice fr
One moment i watching two brothers say their goodbye and go their separated way for the sake of both, then on the next I'm on a training karaoke date with a hostess working in a cabaret club that I'm its manager.
It's a serious crime drama franchise...where the characters are really great at being unserious
Yakuza series has always been peak. One of the best storytelling & gameplay in gaming.

I swear that Yakuza series became a better mascot than Sonic games.
It’s getting there. It was like a year or two pre-COVID I remember zero really took off for some reason and the ball been rolling faster and bigger for the series ever since. That’s from my noticing though.
It was better than Sonic lol. They wanted Nagoshi to be the next SEGA CEO but he didn't want to be a CEO
yakuza does have better games but its not marketable enough to be a mascot. Keep it as a humble franchise, thats what made yakuza more loveable.

Lmao, this is too true. Even Like a Dragon 1&2 stated, the main character was hallucinating all of the combat.
Lol, Ichiban imagines himself a Dragon Quest hero and Majima thinks he's a pirate. This series is too much.
actually, the only one living in a fantasy is ichiban, majima is actually pretty sane, he plays the character of being insane (he kinda is obsessed with kiryu tho.)

This is the real reason Ubisoft delayed AC shadows to March.
DUDE. THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS MUCH OF A JOKE AS YOU INTENDED. This game will inevitably draw discourse about how it compares to Skull And Bones (and by extension, Black Flag), and that's only gonna make Ubisoft once again look like shit. Not to mention it's a Japanese-developed game in a Western setting, which would draw DIRECT comparison to AC Shadows, which is a Western game set in an Eastern setting.

Funny that he mentions everything looks like a mod.
Yakuza is effectively the devs grabbing everything they've done before and stitching it all back together. Anything and Everything is on the table. You could see things from 4 games ago or a deep cut from the beggining.

"I feel like this is a big ass troll."
yeah that's just the average Yakuza experience.
Like when they made an April Fools joke with turn based combat, just to make it real
As to how they're doing it, this studio is the master of reusing assets. Yakuza 0 is considered by many(maybe most) to be the best game in the whole series, and it's basically an asset Frankenstein's Monster of like 3 other games.
When they kept milking their franchise, but the milk is good:
i mean, like i think now there is two yakuzas the turn based rpg and the beat em all rpg
They also released game multiple every year like ubislop but like they are better at making games
There was no way RGG was going to create the Hawaii map unless they could squeeze at least two or three games out of it. That's not how they roll.
Western studios might be better at innovation, but Japanese corporates are better managing iteration. Don’t even need to look far, Elden Ring is the shining example of making good use of old assets and ideas.
Someone once explained that it’s very simple, Japanese corporate try to retain creative managers, who gave good grasp on their organisation and situation, who make good use of old assets their team created in the past rather than circling through middle managers who have no idea what they made, and waste time making new stuffs rather than reusing good old stuffs.
The effect on staff morale is profound too. If you are told your old works are going to be thrown out after the game release, you would work very different compare to if the assets you made 5 years ago are going to be feature on the box art.
"Kick arrrsss"

Yakuza is phenomenal, you can go from a really intense cutscene of someone dying to singing karaoke and gambling.
Idk if yall noticed this but it looks like you can play Virtua Fighter 3 in this. This wouldn't be the first time they put an entirely different sega game inside of a Yakuza game, lol. In fact, for a while, it was the only way to play Virtua Fighter 5 on modern consoles. It ended up driving up interest in VF enough that it got its own separate official release, and we are finally getting a VF6 after nearly 20 years.
Yakuza is so powerful and unhinged it ended up saving Virtua Fighter.
I don't remeber correct game title. But an old game is use Lost Judgment as the most mordern launcher in EVO make me laugh so hard
