While I’m not expecting anything, it would be awesome to get the other Yakuza remakes on the Xbox. I’ll always be a bit of proponent for a Sega acquisition too of course ;p
Not expecting any western news like Ishin finally coming to the west or any more Xbox/PC ports since this is a Japanese stream, but I am excited nonetheless. Maybe we will get to see the next installment in the series. Should be fun. Just finished Like a Dragon yesterday and loved it the whole way through.
I’m really enjoying ZERO, and was funnier than I expected it (thought it’d be a drama, but it’s closer to a comedy actually ). So let’s hope they have more Xbox and PC (Gamepass) announcements coming, as this is a series I might be a fan off now :P.
They will also release a PS5 international version in Japan that includes the English VA.
Sucks we didn’t get a new game announcement. I wasn’t expecting them to announce Xbox and PC ports of 3-6 + Judgment anyways. Xbox versions will get announced in an Xbox event anyways like they have done before.
I hope to play 3-6 before I start LAD, but if they’re not announced after I finish it I’ll just play it anyways. Will suck about the spoilers though…
I just enjoy the comedy, it reminds me a bit of the Slapstick Action movies from Jackie Chan (different culture and country I know, but it has a similar “Beat the shit out of bad guys, in a silly over the top way” to it. :P). Would love for them to really fully embrace it and go for extremely silly as the studio is known to make spin offs :P. It also reminds me of Zatoichi movies (For obvious reasons even if it’s in modern times :P).
). So let’s hope they have more Xbox and PC (Gamepass) announcements coming, as this is a series I might be a fan off now :P.
