Sega Prepping Yakuza 5?
See Full ImageWe're big fans of Sega's super fun Yakuza franchise, which is why we hope this is true.
Originally, we had heard Yakuza: Of the End would be the last title in the series. It features a definite gameplay twist, in that this time, we'll have the option of firearms (hand-to-hand was always the staple).
But now, according to Just Push Start, Sega is apparently working on Yakuza 5, and it'll be released next year. We assume they're referring to a Japanese date, but who knows? They also say to expect a sequel to Black Panther, the solid PSP title.
If they are working on a fifth Yakuza, we're sort of hoping that they return to the standard formula. But then again, what do we know? We haven't played Of the End yet...could be amazing.

Played the demo of Yakuza of the End it was actually pretty good but the control wasn't my cup of tea.

I hope my hero Kiryu Kazuma is back.
I hope it is for both PS3 and PS Vita.

The new characters on 4 were all fun, especially Akiyama, i wouldn't mind fleshing them/him or someone new out with, at a push, Kazuma giving advice from the sidelines.

Even if they can't bring him back atleast a guest appearance should be there by Kiryu.
and Majima should make a comeback.
Majima my Second favorite Character in the Yakuza Series.

i like akiyama's character alot, the lifeline of kamurocho. a guy who has a lot more money than he needs and just goes around lending it to those who need it, testing each client. as much as i would like him to have his own game, combat wise hes not that well rounded like kazuma.
Id say the cop has a better chance to get his own game. you know, an actual honest cop. all i know is rio from the hostess club needs to return, hahaha.

4 seemed fresh again and each character was so gripping that i just couldn't put the controller down, that along with all the new features, especially the fighter training minigame, made it the best yet for me.
As much as it pains me to say, it does need to end soon as the plot is stretched out to max and 4 ended great.
Of The End looks great!

I'm down, but I'd like to see them open it up a bit. The little city and railed off streets felt confining. Great games, but aren't the boys busy with Binary Domain?
