@somnambulance Yea I agree. I think this would be the perfect game to focus on Super and DB heroes too. Can't say I'm hyped to go through the Z and GT stories for like the hundredth time. There are many characters, costumes, and story battles they could add over time. This game could go pretty far

@somnambulance the first trailer had ssb goku. I'm sure Super content will be covered. I'm not sure about manga stuff tho. These games usually only cover the anime

If the new guy does actually try to bring playstation back to its japanese roots like everyone is hoping, let's hope that these games actually attract enough people and sell well enough so that Sony will keep pushing in that direction. People claim to be tired of their current exclusives and whatnot but those same games are the ones selling millions while those cool creative games they claim they want don't even make half of that

@Grimwood I hope so. Been waiting on them forever now. Also hope to see slitterhead, vanillawares new game and Platinum's project gg

I wonder something. Why don't devs make more spiritual successors instead of waiting for the IP holder to give them the go ahead which would likely never happen?

Bomb Rush cyberfunk, Bloodstained symphony, ratatan. These games look like straight up sequels. It seems that all that's necessary is to change the name and change the mechanics a little bit.

@Gamer83 Its rather frustrating but then again its probs the higher ups telling them to keep doing yakuza

@MikeOrator The yakuza games have always had wild stuff but theyre still grounded and on the more realistic side. Compare that to streets of rage 4 where axel can set his fist ablaze and do a giant phoenix uppercut, adam can punch the ground and have energy blades sprout up, floyd who can form a laser cannon with his cybrog arms, shiva who can clone himself, etc. I wanna slam a dude into the ground and leave a crater, uppercut someone into a neon sign and it explodes, and slam a dude into a basket ball hoop or something. Thats the kind of game I wanna see from RGG

Wish they'd make a new brawler instead of yakuza games. I'd really like to see them make something more stylized with some super powers. Like streets of rage. Like why the crap haven't they done something like that yet?

Only reason I'm fine with kiryu still being here is maybe he can get a happy ending this time. That is if sega actually does end his story like they were supposed to

@Korgon right? It's an immediate turn off for me

Aaaaaand it's f2p. Don't know why I thought otherwise lol. Like come on why not just give me a full $50-$60 game and just add your dlc over time? Oh well. Guess I'll be skipping this

We're still talking about this?

more powerful machines, same type of games lol

Ya know I find it funny and strange that Sony seems to be going harder for these Chinese games than they do japanese games. Like I know Japanese games don't meet sales expectations a lot of the time so it's understandable why they strayed away from them, but the Chinese games don't look much different in concept. Sure theyre pretty and all but not really anything that looks much different from what japanese devs have been putting out for years.

Not to mention that we've only seen like 3 of these games actually release yet they keep announcing even more

So a game like last of us 2 gets a pass but they wanna censor cigarettes and alcohol? Lolmao

Just some thoughts

1. I really wish they revealed tenkaichi 4 with gameplay because seeing this only makes me think about what that game will look like

2. This looks great but man I seriously hope CC2 eventually gets some new blood or some veteran combat designers on their team. Theyre so good at spectacle and stuff but the gameplay for their games is just so basic

3. I need some kind of reboot or spinoff series that brings back the martial arts and overall vibes that og dragon ball had. Just watching this trailer has given me such a nice feeling that I havent felt from dragon ball in a long time

The concept of fighting dinosaurs in mech suits sounds great but there's just nothing that excites me when I see gameplay.

There may have been a mistake. I think the footage shown is when they first began working on it. One of the heads of Bokeh stated development was nearing its climax around December last year.

Yea that trailer didn't really look good to me. It's not that I have an issue with these games being arena fighters, but it's that they just don't look exciting. Who's even developing it?

I think I'd give it an 8.5. It's really nice graphically, pretty good levels, and great characters, but the combat is lacking. The eikon abilities are all great but there's hardly much to use with the sword. No pause combos, no double jumping, limited enemy step, etc. Like it would've been great if the game had multiple weapons which would've balanced out the small moveset for the sword but that's not the case. Also KH esque team attacks/limit breaks would've been a great addition. Give me something that makes me feel closer to the party members.

Regardless of that stuff the game is still great. The eikon battles are definitely some of the hypest stuff I've seen in a game. Also the story lost just a few points for me cuz I wasn't too into the whole Ultima thing. I liked when clive was just out for revenge and I wish that along with the warring countries was the main focus.

But yea 8.5/10

Hmmm. Funny he says this cuz after playing the demo I definitely feel like ff16 is toned down compared to dmc5. Now of course I'll have to wait till I have the full game and have the full moveset unlocked, but as far as the demo goes clibe doesn't seem too mechanically deep.

Like there are no pause combos, no back to forward moves, no rotation moves, etc. Even the limit break just turns your moveset into a masher instead of enhancing or altering your attacks like devil trigger does. Not saying 16 isn't deep cuz it is but dmc5 feels much more like his best work

@kyleforrester87 happened to me a few times. Most recently with kingdom tears and spiderverse. I think signing out of my account helped tho

@Cordyceps so they should be happy that people have acquired the game early and will possibly spoil and ruin The experience for several others?

Thank the good lord above this game is only 2 weeks away.

@HM39 nah the judgement games may have some differences here and there but they're definitely yakuza games just with a different name and cast. Even if they wanna keep making brawlers, at least go for something more like dynamite cop or spikeout

One. Just one. Just make one other game besides yakuza. Just one

Yea I'll save judgment for the final game. I'm not worried about graphics. I'm smart enough to understand that the final game I pop into my ps5 will obviously look better than what was shown on a youtube video. I'm curious about the gameplay. I didnt really see anything all that different from the first game. Nothing really wowed me

@Life_isg000d I'll be more specific and say I don't expect anything much from their first party output. If they got any 3rd party deals then cool. Maybe they got some neat indies as well. It's their usual 1st party stuff that I have little interest in.

I never really expect much from sony these days. Could be good, could be meh. We'll see

@CutchuSlow they're basically free to play games or regular games that are updated overtime with new premium content. Games like fortnite, destiny, overwatch, etc

It's both funny and sad how such a cool concept like gaas games ended up so hated. If you told 13 year old me that video games in the future would be update with new content overtime i would've lost my little mind but unfortunately devs these days, or maybe the greedy higher ups they work for, have went about that concept in the worst way possible leaving mostly disdain for them

@JustPlainLoco Yea im with you especially with that marketing line. I know marketing is important but I dont exactly need these companies to constantly shove their games in my face ya know? I dont just wait for whtever major event to give me my fix either. I go to youtube, twitter, gaming websites just like this one and I search for these kinds of games. As someone who has long been fed up with getting the same stuff from these AAA devs I'm always on the lookout for devs like Platinum, tango, team ladybug, flying wild hog, soleil, vanillaware, whatever chinese developers, bokeh, inti creates, wayforward, gendesign, etc. I feel like too many people kinda just sit around instead of just taking a few minutes to look for those stand outs

@KaijuKaiser Its the same thing all the time. People sleep on all the unique creative stuff with a weighted blanket and warm milk but are wide awake when sony annoucnes another cinematic hyper realistic game, when capcom announces the 34th resident evil or 78th street fighter, or when fromsoft announces their 40th souls game. Its not until we lost those great developers that everyone wants to finally acknowledge them

So who wants to bet that new girl will be frey's romantic interest?

@Nepp67 but theyve still been doing the same souls games for years. Sekiro probs being the one that stands out the most

Well this is absolutely splendid to hear. Like many devs back in the day fromsoft was pretty various but then they had to stick to souls games for like a decade and I'm so tired of those. And I'm sure they and other devs want to do dfferent things but in this industry its too risky to go down that path unfortunately. I wish em success with all their new IP in the future

I'd give it maybe a 7.5 or 8. It's pretty good but I wish they added just a little more of nioh's mechanical depth. I appreciate it being easier tho. However I'm getting burned out on these souls games from Team ninja. They've done 4 of these now and it's getting very tiring. They're still enjoyable but it's tiring. I'm glad they're finally doing something new with Rise of the ronin next year

So here's the thing. I'm hype as hell for it cuz it simply looks great and we could definitely use more stylish action type games but on the other hand I don't exactly wanna see everything become a hack n slash either. Part of me would've liked if this game also used 7remakes combat system. I think that system does a great job with action and strategy. It doesn't allow you to just mash away. You gotta utilize your party to overcome which is great.

I'm not a fan of turn based combat but I really do enjoyed valkyrie profile and Indivisible's combat where a character is assigned to a face button and you press that butt9n to attack. I'd love to see FF use a system like that too. But either way I'm still hype for this

Man. Looks like that retirement is approaching. I wonder if he was able to do that final game he talked about before

@Beerheadgamer82 They're just celebrating the awesome game they made. It's cool that they still acknowledge it imo. If you wanna question anyone question konami. It's all up to them for a sequel to be made. Platinum has said many times how they wanna do sequels to their past games but as usual it's up to the publisher. If it was up to Platinum we probably would've had metal gear rising 2 and 3 by now

See i only overhyped myself cuz of quinton Flynn's tweet a few weeks back. A fan asked about a sequel to rising and he responded "stay tuned for announcements in the coming weeks" or something like that. Surely he wouldn't make a tease like that only for absolutely nothing to happen. Maybe an announcement is still otw?

@belmont doesn't seem like they hyped up anything to me. I think the fans overhyped themselves. Myself included 😅. If any remaster or sequel was happening konami would be the ones to reveal it after all

@Golem25 yea I definitely get what you're saying. I honestly like when a games Platinum is pretty tough cuz it does feel good overcoming those challenges. But there's challenge and then there's tedium, grind, and cheapness if that's even a word.

There's having to learn entire mini games like mahjong, black jack, koi koi, there's those same mini games having god awful RNG or insane difficulty like puyo puyo, there's drone racing where even with the best build there can be you slam into one wall and it's all over while the cpu drones have perfect steering, perfect durability, perfect everything really. I can keep going but I'm just saying that with these Plats/achievements you have challenge and you have chore and the yakuza games are definitely chores imo

I'd really love to know why RGG is always so bent on making the platinum trophy foe these games the most unenjoyable experience. I get that these platinums aren't gonna always be a walk in the park but that doesn't mean they need to be the most awful experience either.

At this point Y6 will probs be the only yakuza game I ever platted

I genuinely w9nder why people have to give such "compliments" to games like this. Bargain bin vibes? You could just say it looks like a ps2 era title, or maybe a sleeper hit or something. I've seen others call this game the "coolest looking trash" they've ever seen or a janky mess that they can't wait to play. Yea it doesn't have the graphics or animations of a AAA Sony game or anything but it still looks good. Can't people just say it looks cool?

@PushButtons I actually never thought of it that way. Kind of eye opening

@nomither6 Agreed. MGR's fun factor definitely surpasses the likes of gow and dmc. Dmc may have the deepest mechanical pool, but nothing in the series compares to being blitzed by cyborg gorillas or the katana wielding enemies, skipping across a stream of missiles, or any of the boss battles. It's hard to top Platinum when it comes to pure fun and hype

Let's see how this next trailer will look. Ever since the game apparently got redone it hasn't looked as appealing to me.

I'm hoping someway somehow that this'll lead to sega releasing Scarlet Dawn on consoles

My issue is more with Capcom box art in general and not just with this. They have a good number of talented legendary artists that they can have make cover arts for their games but for whatever reason refuse to use them. Kinu Nishimura, Shinkiro, Bengus, Ikeno, Edayan. Did they all retire? Do they just not mess with Capcom anymore? Are they too expensive now? Like what's the deal?
