This situation seems quite paradoxical - if the prices are going to continue to rise, then the sonner PS6 is launched, the lower the launch price is going to be..
I think it will be similar situation to Steam Machine - PS6 will be on short supply, so it will sell out for any price really.
Ha ha, of course it is for attention - if not, they could hire thousands of great actors - be it asian, white or black - who are not that well known. But, with movies, it is the same, you just need the stars to get attention and make the product well known and popular. So as a fan, I support this approach, in the end there are enough SEGA games new and old that put gameplay and not celebrities to the fore!!
The relative unpopularity of CrossWorlds is really strange, given the quallity of the game, all the crossovers (I mean, you can't get much larger that Minecraft) and the wide choice of platforms. Despite all that, it still sold like small fraction of what Mario Kart does.
@PuppetMaster I think Shinobi was not a flop, for the kind of game it is and not bearing brand name like Silksong or God of War, it seems to be doing ok. Ragebound was definitely smaller. It is just that other SEGA/Atlus games are not as big as Persona, LaD and Sonic. Streets of Rage would be similar and was not released under SEGA, so they probably even don't have the numbers. Virtua Fighter 5 US hit big in 2021 when it came to PS Plus on release. Now with REVO World Stage, I think it can gather just a few 100 000s of sold units.
@Dragoon1994 They obviously chose to stick with the Yakuza name for the original series (2005-2016) and switch to Like a Dragon only for newer titles (2020 onwards). And Yakuza 3, even as remake, is still part of the original series.
The interesting thing is how SEGA leaves the rest of 2026 completely empty (with the exception of Switch 2 versions), probably because of GTA, and they plan to do big numbers in 2027 starting with Stranger Than Heaven in January. Now, will it sell better that Infinite Wealth or even Yakuza: Like a Dragon?
In the end, I bought the game at 50% discount to give it a try and I think it is not that bad, although I can understand why it is 4/10 for somebody. For me, it is more like 7/10, since when you are in the right mood, you can have fun with it. Yes, it is very alternative, almost not a game it traditional sense, similarly to Flower, Linger in Shadows and other projects from 00's. I think they should have made a demo version to boost interest and also the full €35 price is way too high for quite a short, around 7 hour long experience. €20 launch price would be more fitting.
@The_Elder These 5 cities will definitely be small open world maps, we will hopefully see more details about their interactivity on May 6th. It is true that the roaming passages in the trailer, like the tram ride, looks kind of Shenmue-ish.
So, the story will culminate in 1965 in Kamurocho - that makes the game very much connected to Yakuza series, because Tojo Clan already existed in the 60s.
The partnership with Microsoft seems to be about the game being part of Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere. But timed exclusivity seems possible.
I hope for the best - a game that combines that classic RGG immersion and quality with surpises and innovation. For SEGA, I hope it fulfils their probable goal of reaching wider audiences.
@somnambulance According to SEGA financial report, only Stranger Than Heaven and Total War (plus I suppose some sort of Sonic) are planned for this year, so JSR and Crazy Taxi will come no sooner than 2027. You know, that's how their business model stands - one half of SEGA Japan's output is RGG Studio, the second is Team Sonic.
@BLKxHER0 No, Stranger Than Heaven is a SEGA project with sound and stable funding, the game with uncertain destiny is Gang Of Dragon, from Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi's own studio.
Wow, they really spared no expense with the special editions! But, maybe it is a bit crazy to pay €200 for a game that regularly sells for €4? I know - it's not about the game, but all the merchandise, which looks very promising.
@Czar_Khastik I think we ought to be happy that SEGA released I + II physically at all, maybe in 2026 it would be digital downolad only. Ok, no special edition, but mini poster at least. Sad thing is how long I + II sat in local game shops..
@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr I am another big fan of Amazon series, baffled by all the hate. It probably wasn't friendly enough to western audiences. Thing just can't be bad, when a man who lived in Kabukicho for some time sat at the director's chair. And I really like how they didn't just copy the original game story, but morphed it into something slightly different and interesting, and more fitting for a series/movie. Only the finish was a bit too heavy and prolonged.
Wow, the music catalogue is really cool, they even acknowledged SEGA Rally 2, which never got re-release unlike most of the other games on the music menu!
I further look at the new financial presentation and it looks like this year, they will release Persona 4 Revival and Total War Warhammer 40000 in addition to Kiwami and probably next year Stranger Than Heaven and Total War Medieval III. And maybe some Sonic, which is not mentioned but seems logical.
@themightyant I agree, plus there is finite pool, maybe even shrinking pool of console/pc gamers who regularly buy games.
From SEGA's side, these informations seems to be more focused on shareholder relations, trying to explain their strategy for growth. I think their videogame branch is doing good, accounting for 3/4 of Sega Sammy's bussines. If something is rapidly declining it is Rovio - which they bought to big fanfares two years ago and it is on a downward trajectory since then. And pachinko is also behind it's heyday.
@Cikajovazmaj Fair enough, but the similarity is kind of a point for the series. The studio definitely tries something different all the time with titles like Kenzan, Ishin, Binary Domain, Fist of the North Star or Stranger than Heaven, but then returns to the 'comfort' of Kamurocho. And Nagoshi did the same.
@Porco Yeah, it always seemed very uncertain, expecially when they stressed Nagoshi is targeting AAA single player experience, which doesn't seem to align with NetEase.
Now I think about it, maybe Nagoshi Studio expected this and that is why they revealed the game at Game Awards, just to shout out 'we are here' to potential investors.
@AinsleyE Every investor can work with sales numbers for Yakuza series and estabilish quite precisely if it has potential.
@BamBamBaklava89 That would be ideal, but again, I am afraid today's Sony has interest only in big franchises that sell in tenths of millions. Unfortunately.
@Cikajovazmaj Despite some missteps, RGGS games are still high quality, polished products. Really can't be called 'slop'.
Not good, but sadly this was to be expected. This is the merit of working for big companies like SEGA - despite all the missteps and criticism from mainstream gamers, they know how the business works and aren't afraid to put money and time into development and treat the employees respectably.
But I can see why Nagoshi was ready to leave as well, when he became too 'executive' and distant from game making itself. I wonder if the same could happen to Mr. Yokoyama, who recently gained the SEGA Senior Vice President title.
I like how the video shows the compression of Japan map. From mountains to city to mountains without all the time on freeways and traffic jams . I just don't get why they chose Saleen of all brands instead of titular GR GT and also - the world feels kind of lifeless.
I believe that during development, Gran Turismo or parts of it are normally being run on PC machines, so it is not that big a deal if they try to run it on PC-based hadheld console. And, it is surely a difference if the engine just somehow runs on Switch 2 and if they wanted to do consumer version, which would need several years of additional work and fine tuning.
As a fan of classic 3, I am still a bit afraid of all the changes, but I bought the game nonetheless and enjoyed some 7 hours with Dark Ties and another few of Emergency Call Ambulance. One day, I will gather the courage to play the main course.
@MrPeanutbutterz It is known that Crazy Taxi is developed by SEGA Sapporo and JSR is also said to be in-house project, so they surely won't outsource everything.
I am a bit nervous about (japanese) SEGA games being absent from Game Awards as well as yesterday's State of Play. I hope they just didn't want to take the spotlight from Sonic Crossworlds and Kiwami 3 and have something big planned for the rest of 2026!
@Dogbreath Yeah, SEGA games are obviously never bad, but I just don't like original JSR. The influence JSR's visuals had on countless games is insane, but I don't like the principle of trying to jump somewhere while being shot at with rockets. Let's hope the new one will be good!
@Kitsmith Concerning Daytona, I have big faith in driving parts of Gang of Dragon with Nagoshi-san being the designer and producer of Daytonas and Scud Race For SEGA, I think Crazy Taxi is their priority now regarding racing games.
@PuppetMaster They effectively already made 0 Kiwami with Director's Cut. Maybe that's the idea: they will be releasing 'Director's Cuts' or other kind of remasters instead of 'Kiwamis' and that will be it. Other thing is, new version of Ishin! was also released as Ishin! Kiwami in Japan.
So, Yokoyama-san doesn't want to do more Kiwamis and he doesn't want to do LaD 9 either, in favour of 'different line'? Isn't that just what Nagoshi-san wanted to do with Judgments and now Gang of Dragon? I am kind of confused!
But then again, with Pirate Yakuza out in the wild, I am afraid what 'dfferent lines' could mean.
From what I see I will be better off avoiding this. As an old school fan, I don't like the all the alterations and crazyness added to the original game. It seems like the series is deviating from the orginal 'serious crime drama' premise. Best thing would be if you could choose between just reworked graphics and this complete remake .
It is somehow funny that the biggest multiplatform news from Nintendo Direct is this. Formerly, they revealed at least something like Katamari games at these presentations.
@themightyant The japanese market is strange, one one hand, PS5 is supposedly too expensive there (until that special budget model came) and on the other so many of buyers go for Pro. I guess either they don't have the luxury to own big TV set with console or they go straight for the better options.
@Czar_Khastik I was just playing on PS3 yesterday and I am happy with it with the exception of creaking controller . This only shows how the technical evolution slows down, sometimes there is less difference between PS3 and PS5 than there was with PS2 and PS3.
@Shepherd_Tallon @Czar_Khastik OLED is a must for PS5. I like the most how strong in-game light literally flashes out of the screen into the room when playing in dark.
@tameshiyaku Yeah, I hate Pirates as well. I guess the fighting in Kiwami 3 is not that bad. But sometime during Judgments the system started to be lighter and more athletic and quite different from old games. Regardless, I agree that K3 is well engineered (especially considering it is only a side project for the studio) and if someone never played Yakuza 3, it is a no brainer.
But yesterday I tried the demo, the graphics seemed ok, but I really don't like the overly crazy and 'light' battle system similar to Pirate Yakuza. Original Yakuza 3 had slow and weighty brawls. What happened to the Virtua Fighter heritage? (just when they are working on new VF). This game is strange.
To be honest, I don't like this trailer. But I have fond memories of Genki racers on PS2 and I have even placed digital pre-order so I hope the game turns out to be good!
Looking forward to play GT7 tomorrow. Even though I personally prefer road cars.
@Silenos That's right, the game is getting quite big, but it is still not as stupid as Tekken 8, which occupies the space with single-use story videos forever.

Re: SEGA Shares Lifetime Sales Update for Persona, Metaphor, and Like a Dragon
@PuppetMaster Underperformer yes, but flop I am not sure. It still could sell enought not to be in loss, so the brand can continue.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Sell Below SEGA's Expectations
The relative unpopularity of CrossWorlds is really strange, given the quallity of the game, all the crossovers (I mean, you can't get much larger that Minecraft) and the wide choice of platforms. Despite all that, it still sold like small fraction of what Mario Kart does.
Re: SEGA Shares Lifetime Sales Update for Persona, Metaphor, and Like a Dragon
@pushL7 In that case, only Like a Dragon Gaiden would do from this list, with 15 hours of story and around the same time of additional gameplay.
