During the Sony Tokyo Game Show conference we got to see a short trailer for the PS4 version of Phantasy Star Online 2. While the quality of the video isn’t the best, some people are noticing an upgrade in terms of graphics compared to the PC version. It’ll be interesting to see if the PS4 engine does indeed deliver better graphics compared to the PC version running on its highest settings, and whether or not those improvements will make their way back to the PC version. I wish I had some good news to share regarding the NA/EU release, but sadly SEGA still doesn’t want to talk about it. While they explained the delay for Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice on their official blog today, the reason for the delay of Phantasy Star Online 2 is still unknown. Suffice to say, the franchise and its fans deserve better than that. But for now, you can check out the trailer for the PS4 version below (posted by Youtube user XCageGame)!

Yakuza Kiwami (Remake of First Game) Announced, Yakuza 6 Incoming

The Sony Computer Entertaiment Japan-Asia Conference has just concluded. It was a time for figures representing Sony and third-parties including Bandai Namco, Capcom, Square-Enix, Spike Chunsoft, and Koei-Tecmo to take to the stage and show off some of their future plans.

Relatively early into the conference, Sega’s Toshihiro Nagoshi came on stage to discuss some special Yakuza-related news. First, he played the trailer for Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of Yakuza 1. This remake will be an expanded version of the first game, featuring new side content and additional scenario offerings. Nagoshi mentioned that development of the first game on Playstation 2 was quite difficult, and after having released the game didn’t feel that he completed everything he wanted to do with Yakuza 1. That chance to make things right has arrived with Yakuza Kiwami!

The trailer that was played can be found after the break. Yakuza Kiwami, in keeping with Yakuza tradition thus far, will be coming out on both Playstation 3 and Playstation 4. An early promotional website is already live, and details pricing and release schedule too: ¥6,490, and January 21, 2016.

Additionally, Nagoshi went further and confirmed the development of the next mainline entry in the Yakuza series: Yakuza 6. While no additional details or media were shown during his speaking time slot at the SCEJA conference, he mentioned that more would be revealed when Tokyo Game Show 2015 opens.

Yakuza 6 will in fact be exclusive to Playstation 4 this time, deviating from Yakuza tradition thus far. It’s expected to release sometime in the fall of 2016 for Japan.

Sega’s TGS 2015 Lineup – New Yakuza Game, and More Surprise Announcements?

Sega’s Tokyo Game Show 2015 plans are becoming clearer as the big weekend approaches. The official Yakuza portal has a curious image at the top of the page, the one we’ve chosen as this article’s featured image. It’s certainly a teaser for a new Yakuza title, set to be revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2015. So much for my prediction….anyway, congratulations Yakuza fans! September 15 is also the day of the Sony Japan’s press conference, so we can probably expect a full reveal of new title there.

Sega had also gone live with an update to their website detailing this year’s TGS offerings from itself, Atlus, and its partners for this year (Warner Bros., Nippon Ichi Software, Mages). The officially announced list featuring Atlus and Sega (and including their status as playable and/or stage presence only) is as follows:
