SEGA, please release the official demo. 😭The action of this game looks the best of all time in the series. I can't wait for this game.

[@krbraveofficial]

I mean they did say recently a home demo is coming, we just don't know when

[@Kerunou]

Be patient, the home demo, it’ll be closer to release. December at the earliest. Possibly even January since the title comes out at the end of February.

[@xtr.7662]

This game doesnt need a demo

[@krbraveofficial]

@@xtr.7662 it is getting one though as that was alteady confirmed, we just don't know when that will be

[@DanteisntHere]

​@@xtr.7662why no??

[@RainhartYT]

Now this is what Majima needed!

[@aphexloser]

RGG. LET US HAVE MORE ITEMS IN THE BOUTIQUE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[@mr.marvin]

The boutique in this game has a lot more to offer than in 7 Gaiden. At least you can wear Majima's legacy outfits throughout the series.

[@sterlingtheartist]

this game is gonna be so fun, i can't wait

[@tattoprism496gr]

They improved the battle much more dynamically and seamlessly. The batting looks good and the moveset is great. In particular, the combo looks really fun. The parts involved in the battle are really on my mind. If the Naval combat and story are good, this game will definitely be a masterpiece.

[@dannybronnenberg3348]

56:51 PLEASE HAVE THE YAKUZA 3 SUIT 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@AntzemEmnza]

Goro D. Majima searching for the One Piece

[@Rob64_]

good games are back on the menu

[@Kerunou]

They been back, but you gotta know where to look, lot of garbage to sift through these days (most of it AAA nonsense).

[@hullmining6903]

RGG releases a 1:30 hours gameplay demo 4 months before launch, meanwhile Ubisoft embargo until last minute

[@Kerunou]

Word, that’s because we know what we’re getting with RGG. People can say what they want about them but they don’t hide, you get what you get, and 9 times out of 10 it’s fucking great.

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Because Ubisoft knows their games are hot garbage. If players knew they were garbage before launch nobody would buy them.

[@IRedpunk]

I'm so happy to have a game with Majima as main character !

[@kowaikokoro]

Wasnt sure how the pacing in combat would be due to aerial movement and doppelganger but man does it look good! the tossing of the cutlasses transition into hand combat into an heat action clean af. Massive W for RGG this demo gameplay hit cant wait to play it!

[@theboris700]

I hope this is at least 80 hours long. I'd still want more.

[@Kaies109]

Heard it was around yakuza 6 story wise playtime

[@xtr.7662]

​@@Kaies10915hr its good enough for a side game

[@copfrown2397]

All right, a new yakuza game I cannot wait to play it

[@-WhiteDevil-]

Would be cool if we got his Shishido Baiken and Okita Soji outfits too, not counting on it.

[@Dyshn]

Lost my judgment because of this

[@zionharris9432]

They better make a third, still hyped for this.

[@rebirth2526]

nice pun but missing eyes

[@MarsWrestlingKingdom]

Judgment at least should end as a trilogy 😢

[@Dyshn]

@@rebirth2526 never lost my judge eyes since i played the sega master system in lost judgment.

[@andyly1802]

😂😅 I’m going to lose my Judgement too

[@GoroGoroGoro-ChanLover]

We need a release of the demo plz!!!

[@atomic3901]

i don't think i've been this excited for a game in a very long time

[@pianisthun]

Put the demo on ps5

[@Shoarra]

Or what

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

​@Shoarra do you even gotta ask? 😏

[@ralphsunico116]

Become a pirate and save Hawaii from assholes!

[@shadowjackification]

Sega please release a remake of the two psp spin offs

[@MarsWrestlingKingdom]

Wow, you still remember- UKEYOOOO TATSUYAAAA

[@shadowjackification]

@@MarsWrestlingKingdom never played them, but I want to play them. I don't want to import them from japan and play them in japanese.

[@MarsWrestlingKingdom]

@@shadowjackification I played them, on my Psp, I downloaded it's english patched version...

[@shadowjackification]

@@MarsWrestlingKingdom how can I play them on my psp? Do I need to mod my psp for that?

[@Kerunou]

@@shadowjackification you actually don’t. The PSP is the most friendly system when it comes to throwing on roms and emulators. You literally just plug it into the computer and browse files. You’ll have to know where to put the game, so maybe look up a brief guide, but I remember it being super easy. You’ll download the rom or eboot for the game with the patch to your computer and it should be as simple as allocating that file to the right spot on the PSP.

[@nendroidnick]

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

[@VallentRo]

Can't wait to play! Love the show so far, just wish more people realized that it's a interpretation. Currently playing through the Like A Dragon games to get ready for my pirate adventure!!!

[@TJ_Rider]

gimme that majima plushie!

[@dominicthesaiyan]

This feels like aassassin’s Creed 4 black flag all over again

[@marekpopioek7259]

Like BF on Staminian Spark

[@FurrylordSSJ]

That is the idea. Ppl asked for a black flag yakuza bsck in 2014.

[@FurrylordSSJ]

@JtothePrez Sure, but after the big success Black Flag had, it was a smart move to aim for a game like this, plus Majima as a main character? This better win GOTY 2025.

[@dominicthesaiyan]

@@FurrylordSSJ Come on Who dosent want This Crazy bastard as a pirate yakuza

[@joryuhabibi]

release the demo pls

[@thefirstofthelastones8952]

Like a Devil May Cry

[@kingc1331]

Nothing like DmC lol

[@rickythemaddragonxiong8757]

​@kingc1331 air juggling and style switching. Lock on with R1, gun that can deal minimal damage. It has some similarities to DMC games.

[@localmadlad7714]

NEED NEW SEGA SYSTEM NOW!!

[@Happy93930]

That would be stupid

[@rickythemaddragonxiong8757]

Nope sega lost console competition years ago & will never do any more consoles again. In this day & age if they did it would sell less than a ps5 or xbox or even switch.

[@localmadlad7714]

@rickythemaddragonxiong8757 Shut up. Can we just enjoy what both parties do? I have no issue in the slightest for a market that DESPERATELY needs competition considering Sony wants money and Microsoft has lost the plot.

[@iddqd7162]

Happy for the people who like it. But Sega, come on, give me Judgement 3.

[@MorbidSenseOfHumor]

It’s coming brother don’t worry. It’ll happen

[@gowtham8909]

Why do I have a feeling that the naval combat won't be like black flag and can't free roam sea

[@Kerunou]

So the naval combat, I can’t speak on how it feels but it looks pretty close to AC:BF. As for free roam, they’ve said that the portion of the game that is ship travel is really big with a lot of islands to drop anchor for and explore. Will it be as vast as Black Flag? No, probably not. That said, I do think it will be pretty wide open. Eventually you’ll hit a wall obviously, but I believe they said that the ship travel is the main reason why this game is 1.4x bigger/longer than Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Own Name.

[@jordanwood3150]

It's deffo won't be the same scale of free roam as in Black Flag. Massive open worlds just aren't what RGG have ever aimed to do. It'll be interesting to see how they go about implementing the naval combat though.

[@shrpha7112]

Even if it ain't as expansive, what it does offer looks hella fun.

[@marekpopioek7259]

When more RGG games on GOG?

[@MaxBraver555]

6:57 what if the twist is...

[@darrenm.7980]

peak

[@DeafWatcher21]

Release the demo on ps4 when????

[@jhony9924]

If you wanna get your money worth, buy this game. lots to comment about.

[@Kerunou]

True of all RGG titles 100%. The rare instance where I’d tell anyone to preorder.

[@mattmarcolina1673]

Yakuzza 0 will not be remastered maybe on Amazon or perhaps later this year?

[@gowtham8909]

Great daze

[@thetarnishedone1248]

Sega please remake Yakuza Black Panther/ Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku Shinshō series for current and past console, Yakuza Black Panther/Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku Shinshō is my most favorite Yakuza series. Please expand more stories about Tatsuya Ukyo.

[@leonis1790]

Please, give us physical PS4 copies worldwide.

[@rickythemaddragonxiong8757]

They will.

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

Wait what areas have physical copies?? I thought they were releasing worldwide

[@WinchesterBroth]

If the combat system really stops being turn-based, and returns to the old beating of opponents, this will be the best thing that has happened in recent years.

[@FurrylordSSJ]

Only Ichiban games are turn-based, and it is a way to make the game feel unique. The game has been beat em up since 2005, changing its main protagonist I think they made the right call in changing gameplay mechanics. I prefer the beat em up style but I like turn-based jrpgs as well.

[@WinchesterBroth]

@@FurrylordSSJ I'm not saying anything bad. I also like games about Ichiban, just not an ardent fan of the jrpg genre. It would be nice if you could choose, or not to do such protracted fights. In games about Kiryu, every fight is exciting to the core. In Ichibana games, the action game gets boring quickly, especially if you remember the best techniques and do them already on the machine. And so, I like all the parts, I've been through them about five times, and I'm looking forward to this one

[@FurrylordSSJ]

@@WinchesterBroth I agree with you. Being turn-based can make the combat feel slow-paced and make it less exciting. They are both different genre tho... wel... sort of..

[@Kerunou]

None of the spin-off games or side releases are turn based bruv, only mainline LAD. They’re going to do both and that’s the way to go, something for everyone. ✌️ I’m looking forward to Judgment 3, myself.

[@WinchesterBroth]

@@Kerunou LAD Ishin is not step-by-step, but so yes, I want to see not just one thing, but a mixture at once

[@Luke-go1km]

Please make an easy mode for infinite wealth and this game, i couldnt take the amount of useless fighting in like a dragon, there needs to be an easy mode like all the other sega games come on ❤

[@Sn0ring]

Genuinely so disappointed with the Limited Run announcement it feels extremely cheap with the collectors editions/reprints. Additionally, now seeing the English collectors edition for LAD: Pirate Yakuza... Why not just give us the Japanese CE it is so much better!

[@theboris700]

Do you know if the LRG versions will come with all updates on the disc? I've been wanting to know. Also, if they are releasing 3 and 4 on separate discs.

[@Sn0ring]

​@@theboris700Probably not. It will be an download most likely and I believe they are doing every game from the looks of the 0 pre order bonus.

[@DanteisntHere]

Wait no voiceovers??😢

[@WarHelmetCombine]

Is there no English dub?

[@Gogettor]

Like a What?

[@PuppyPlimby]

pluh

[@shortbreadhead]

I think they're missing a huge crowd if they don't English dub it. Not even kidding. I seriously can't wait for this

[@skinnyyoungjiggy4471]

they are doing an English dub but it'll come later, like with gaiden

[@miss.laura.m]

I think you overestimate the amount people who care about an English dub. Most fans cringe at the mere thought of listening to these beloved characters in any other language than Japanese, especially with iconic characters and voices such as Majima‘s.

[@juuso2001]

@@miss.laura.m If you play this in english you shouldnt ever be called a fan.

[@miss.laura.m]

@@juuso2001 sounds harsh but deep down I agree

[@Kerunou]

@@juuso2001 what a goofy, pretentious, elitist thing to say. Having no dub is an accessibility issue. This isn’t a “just read the subtitles” conversation, a lot of people that actively does not work/completely fucks up the gameplay experience.

[@Rafael-0735]

Okay, so it's basically One Piece but the cast is from the Like a Dragon, aka Yakuza series. Thanks, Sega!

[@Thebatdawg]

Its not turn based yes!!!!

[@goldenminigunner363]

Well in ichiban's view It's turn based Kiryu is opposite

[@tnmgroupptyltd1509]

It will run terribly.

[@tnmgroupptyltd1509]

I am first

[@cheezewizzkrist]

So far so Yakuza . . . where is the ship combat? And please add an option to remove the typewriter sound for none spoken dialogue.

[@shrpha7112]

They have already shown it in another trailer also why do you care about the latter?

[@Jason-mu6ug]

Looks boring

[@shrpha7112]

That's a sad way to look at this.

[@nfbro3473]

JASON wtf…

Voice is bad!!
