Julius Posted September 20 Posted September 20 (edited) Just announced during today's RGG Summit! There's that Majima game we've been waiting for making proper use of that eye patch at long last! "Madlantis" Mad Dog and Sea Dog fighting styles. Genius. Surprised to see them drop the "Gaiden" moniker, I guess it might have been a one-off because of how it stitched LAD and Infinite Wealth together? Or perhaps the sales figures made them drop it? Very curious. Edited October 17 by Julius 1 1
Julius Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 (edited) Turns out this is actually what Pyoro was teasing yesterday with their "pih" (Pirates in Hawaii) tweet. They posted to confirm this but have now privated their account again. Edited September 20 by Julius
Hero-of-Time Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Amazing! RGG remain one of the best in the business. Crazy how many games they keep knocking out. 1

I need to go back and listen to it again to confirm - might also have been mistranslated, but the translator is killing it so I doubt it - but watching the livestream, Majima's VA Hidenari Ugaku said that he first heard about it at the Infinite Wealth after-party. This game will have been made in a year and change by the time it launches, which shouldn't be a surprise considering Gaiden only took 6 months or so, but it kind of is? Japanese devs just like to play it smart with assets, too, which I know has come up before, but it's just so smart. They invest a good amount of time in making a massive map they can mix up and evolve rather than starting from scratch, meaning that smaller games can be made in a super fast time. From and RGG both reuse a lot but they always work it in so naturally as well, and so such a good job of making a familiar location feels fresh and exciting to revisit, basically taking their learnings from Kamurocho and applying it to every map they make. Seriously, they're some of the best in the biz still got to Infinite Wealth before the end of the year but this has got me even more excited to explore Hawaii for the first time!
Julius Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 (edited) Oh that collector's edition is freaking genius Limited to Japan and Asia. I might need to consider importing this depending on how much it is... Edited September 20 by Julius 2
Julius Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 Some gameplay and other trailers focused on specific features from the Summit: And the totally canon:
Glen-i Posted September 20 Posted September 20 With this not being an RPG, I have no interest in the actual game itself. But I have never wanted a collector's edition more than right now!

Turns out that it's a Gaiden title over in Japan still, so I'm guessing they just dropped it over in the West as it didn't add too much besides an extra word. Shame though, I kind of loved it

Nah, if it forces you to put them in some sort of story order I'm all for them dropping it Apparently this has been spotted as being a full price release on Steam (as opposed to The Man Who Erased His Name), and given that they've dropped the "Gaiden" from the title too, I'm hopeful that this gets a full physical release over here in the way that TMWEHN (what a horrible initialism that is) unfortunately didn't. 1

Julius Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 North America and Europe will be getting a Collector's Edition, but it doesn't include the toy What did we do wrong to deserve an acrylic statue? Also... 1 hour ago, Julius said: And the totally canon: ...just realised one of the girls in this is a pretty big YouTuber/streamer in Japan (Kaho)! That's pretty neat to see, I know she's mentioned wanting to be in these games before, like K-son before her. Wonder who's next from that corner of the internet to show up in one of these games?

S.C.G Posted September 20 Posted September 20 *watches the trailers* So the new One Piece game goes pretty hard... 3
Hero-of-Time Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Game's release date has been pushed up by a week. Probably to avoid Monster Hunter. 1

Julius Posted October 17 Author Posted October 17 (edited) Kind of assumed the release date update message was what they showed in the Xbox Partner Preview, but no! Turns out there was a new trailer: Ship combat and customisation? Hell yeah! Edited October 17 by Julius
martinist Posted November 3 Posted November 3 I saw the announcement trailer but thats as much as i've seen. Never really kept track of the release date. Looks fun though, if the ship combat is like assassins creed 4 then I should be having a fun time but you know what the Yakuza games are like. They'll probbably throw in all this other stuff with it.
