Not as upset about this news I thought I would be. Guy has released some amazing games whilst with Sega, and so has done more than enough to pay Sega back for the high interest loan he took out to with them to help look after his ageing mother. Or something. No but seriously, he deserves to make some bank after years of putting out bangers, and Yakuza Dead Souls, whilst at Sega. I also think RGG Studio will be in safe hands. I mean, one person couldn't possibly have carried all those games on his own for so long, could he?

Which is your favourite Toshihiro Nagoshi title?

I hadn't realised just how many games the guy has been involved with. I think my favourite is... Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone :toot:

NetEase Games establishes Nagoshi Studio, led by Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi

Daisuke Sato and other former Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio staff make up the studio's founding members.

Here is a message from Nagoshi on the studio’s establishment:

The sea of change that began in the entertainment industry in the late 20th century has brought even greater change to the industry in the 21st century.

Changes to entertainment content, how it’s made and the business model driven by technology and infrastructure advances have sparked a paradigm shift, and these changes are continuing to unfold with greater and greater speed.

What only yesterday had been considered the height of cool now suddenly becomes outdated before you know it.

For creators, this makes working in the industry today incredibly challenging.

But no matter how the times change, I believe that what people essentially want from entertainment has not changed one bit.

People see their dreams in entertainment.

People look to entertainment to give them hope in life, to soothe them in times of difficulty, and to add excitement in happy times. People look to entertainment to provide the spark for all kinds of events.

The appetite for entertainment is the same today as it was in the past.

There are obviously differences between the past and the present in how entertainment is consumed, its volume and velocity, but its essence remains the same.

The only way to deliver this essence to the world is if all creators approach the works they create with seriousness and clarity while grinding away to get closer to reaching the ideal.

One of my goals at this studio is to create an open atmosphere.

This may sound like an overly simplistic goal.

But even the most talented creators cannot fully unleash their abilities in isolation.

I believe that the first step to creating high-quality titles and delivering the essence of entertainment with strong motivation starts with creating an open atmosphere in the studio.

This means having open-ended discussions that ignore seniority and hierarchy.

This means not fearing mistakes while also not being afraid to correct them, and treating failures as assets. This means not giving up on reaching the ideal, and fighting to get closer to it.

This may seem so simple, but the simplest things can unexpectedly be the hardest to do, and at the same time the most important.

Nagoshi Studio is committed to creating content for the world to enjoy from this atmosphere.

I went to insane lengths to play Ishin in 2013. I set up a Japanese PSN account, bought a Japanese gift voucher for the value of the system and relied on a guy called KHHSubs translations of cut scenes, menu items and vague storyline recap for each chapter.

Was actually really enjoyable! Definitely ready to play it all over again though.

they're using Unreal Engine 4 now instead of the Dragon Engine.

They're adding in characters from Yakuza 0, 6 and 7

Kiryu are you okay? :lol:

Dual Protagonists in Yakuza 8

Old man Kiryu. He must be at least 60 by now right?

I've not seen it in this stream yet but ESRB leaked something big.

Judgment and Lost Judgment PC ports.

They just announced another game starring Kiryu set between 6 and 7! :O

And 7 and 8.

Not crazy about a Kiryu spin-off and having him as a playable protagonist in 8. Reminds me of how Capcom tried to move beyond Phoenix Wright with the Apollo Justice character and immediately went back to what came before.
