Video PS4 PS3

Known as Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin in Japan, this title was released on the Launch of the PS4 in Japan on February 22nd on both PS4 and PS3. Seeing as this title will probably never see the light of day outside of Japan, I decided to capture some PS4 gameplay footage for you.
Note: The game runs at 1080p at 60fps. Captured at 720p at 60fps.
Update: 3rd video added.

So desperate for this it's just down right cruel by SEGA. But they are not even releasing the main series here anymore it looks like so bah.

Either learn Japanese or GTFO I guess.

Tried the japanese demo.
It's majestic. Not bringing this overseas is just unbelievable.

Why the f*** would I want a new console if I'm not even getting good games from Japan?! Translation without voice-overs (nobody needs or wants them anyway) shouldn't be that expensive. Don't be cheap and evil SEGA, give it to us goddammit!

Come on, do we really have to rely on kickstarter for every single thing? Sega is already a publisher!

Seems like it's going back and forth between 60-30fps. Gameplay wise I'd also say that the enemies look and act a little too simple compared to other games in it's field. the use of the action cam seems to this game's best strength, and good use of music. soundtrack reminds me of this old game i use to play "soul of the samurai".

Looks booring. Even on PS4 it looks strange. The fighting is out there, and the movements on the characters looking kinda...old..

The hero is running like and old Sega-hero and when he push someone the moonwalk in the opposite direction....but hey...that`s just me.

I hate the atmosphere in Yakuza, in Shenmue there's always nice music playing, but in Yakuza most of the time only sound effects, boring, kick out the director and bring Yu Suzuki back.

Everything looks just so mediocre. No next gen graphics here and game dynamics kinda looks like a 90 fighter game.

I'd take subtitles for games with story elements from any territory.

Compared to the previous games..there seems to be little improvement gameplay-wise. No real change in the mechanics or whatsoever. Shame, but to be expected.

wow all this debate about framerate and localization to US market...by not buying the previous games in enough copies that sends a message to SEGA that for them its not worth localizing a game when people will just wait until a preowned copy is available.

Its a shame...Import this game, buy it, show your support and show that guy what that wooden beam looks like up close, real close...oops smashed ya face in.

Yeah, this game is basically a PS3 game with better textures and a higher poly count. Nothing to wright home about and I certainly wouldn't call it "Next-Gen".

Games like this are made to lauch console dates to help, HELP boost sales and give a gamer something to play...keeping in mind that big games like these take 2 to 3 years to make...you only hurt yourself and the future of videogaming by not realizing that.

I realize that...but I'm certainly not hurting the future of video games as I spent the 80 US dollars to play it. I'm totally entitled to my opinion that this game is an up-scaled PS3 game, with higher rez textures and a better poly count.

Well you are right that its an up-scaled PS3 game...then again both Ninja Gaiden games were up-scaled XBox 1 games too.

It technically is "next-gen" or "current-gen" however mainly because the PS3 as it stands cannot do that higher rez textures and better poly count...

Not to mention that despite the "upgrade in hardware" both PS4 and Xbone are not really the expected technological upgrade and it still takes time to make these games.

The first Yakuza or Ryu Go Gotoku on PS3 came out a while after PS3 had been in retail market...SEGA's devs were no doubt working round the clock to get Kenzan! out but it took a while to develop.

This game is more an "early adopter pleaser" and that is very important as the current gen is no longer having backwards compatibility anymore.

Like I am not saying you are not entitled to your opinion or that your opinion will hurt sales but the problem with being overly critical of a launch game can lead to other people simply going along with believing and not really supporting the launch consoles...imagine if everyone took a wait and see and till prices dropped attitude...it would hurt the development of future games...not defending game devs but at least they put something for people to buy an play to tide them over.

Honestly the days of PS1 to PS2 graphical leaps are over to the naked eye.

Resolution in pixel eats up a lot of computing cycles in GPU and CPU as well as ram which had both Microsoft and Sony waited to released much beefed up 2007 technology based consoles the problems would have been different.
