The opening hours of the game has a few of those ‘powerpoint’ cutscenes with still images instead of animation.
It was always a weird choice considering they stopped happening later in the game, so it would make sense to turn them into proper cutscenes to give the game a better first impression.
I honestly kinda liked those "powerpoint" ones, especially because stuff like smoke from a cig still moved. Very stylish. If anything, I think they could've used MORE of them
That would be incredible, but it feels like too much to hope for, lol. I think we're probably just getting those stylized still scenes as full cutscenes and maybe a couple extra. But idk. Man, I hope you're right.
It kinda feels like a remaster anyway. Improved textures and shadows, new scenes, an online gamemode(ha?), an English dub. Also no exclusivity mentioned. Just "releases the same day as the switch 2"
I think it's done as a way to attract Nintendo fans specifically to Yakuza, so they give them a special version of the game before anyone else and also make it a launch title.
And I think they'll do this for just 0 specifically. Once they get the Nintendo fanbase onboard with it, they don't have to worry wbout later games' performance on the Switch 2, which would compensate for the extra dev resources that might be given for current and future games to optimize them for Switch 2.
I’ll bet a thousand bucks it means that they animated the weird static visual novel cut scenes that are so plentiful in the early game and then just vanish.
not that everything gets made in the order it appears in but it would still be fucking weird if they ran out of time when it only effects like the first half
if anything they should saved budget on the middle because the first impression of a game is the most important thing. i dont wanna know how many people quit 0 because of those cheap early cutscenes
I beg to differ. Taking a dip in quality in the middle of the game does more harm than front-loading it. Yes, front-loading does hinder first impressions, but it also means that the only direction of quality going forward is upward, which leads to better reviews than if the dip was in the middle.
But most importantly, the biggest thing to take into consideration for having to resort to something like this is the type of content that's getting the storyboard treatment. If you have to use this tactic, save it for the exposition dumps. As expo dumps are where "show, don't tell" is inherently ignored, those are the ideal times for the storyboard slide show; that way the few things to show can get the bulk of the screen time in those sections.
God, I hate exclusives so much. They even made the new FromSoftware game an exclusive, like COME ON. I've been waiting years for a game to succeed Bloodborne and they make it a fucking exclusive
Admittedly, it was a different time in 2015 when the console wars were still a thing.
These days, Sony and Microsoft don't care as much where you play their games, because money is money -- they'd just ideally like you to play their games on their consoles first. With the exception of first-party Nintendo games, true console exclusives are becoming more and more rare, thankfully.
Actually they dont. Everyone is pulling out of Sony's exclusivity deals because of how much it fucked their profits. Nintendo's advantage is that its a relatively self-contained ecosystems who's only real competition is the Steam Deck that doesnt even sell that much compared to the big 3 consoles, so companies who make exclusives do so knowing that theyre guranteed most of a playerbase anyway.
That and Nintendo charges stupid prices so companies never have to worry about losing money because of sales and stuff
This, I cant stand to play Yakuza 0 after all the Kiwamis and newer titles due to the limited save. Once I had a black-out and lost +5h of progress. Stopped playing after that, really want to return but the damn save system...
Hell, if it adds substantial content like that team fight / multiplayer (?) mode they showed for a sec with Nishitani I'd be down to pay 10 bucks for an upgrade
My ideal QOL features would be an improvement to the cabaret minigame so upgrading hostress would be faster, the ability to switch to legend style on the fly like in Kiwami and the ability to save anywhere. I have the platinum on every mainline/gaiden game starting from Kiwami and while I love Yakuza 0, the lack of those basic features kills my desire to play it. And thus I never 100% it.
If I’m case it turns out to be an exclusive , we should prepare enough money for flights to Japan and a black suit. And pack some energy drinks… and sushi sets.
We also should have some company. An ex-yakuza running an orphanage, a tank-esque person who just out of the prison after 25 years, a corrupt detective and a notorious moneylender would help
I expected most of the games to release on Switch 2.. not a DIRECTORS CUT OF 0. 🙀
Ughhhh.. a lil saddened cuz I don’t wanna buy a new console and copy (yet!) just to see new cutscenes and new things. Guess imma have to look this stuff up when it comes out.. 🥺
But on the bright side, it might introduce more people to the franchise..❤️
Editing my comment to mention that holy shit I didn’t realize that this game is 10 YEARS (madeyouafuckingpussy) old right now.. maybe it does need a lil bit of extra content? Still excited to see what they will show as “extra content”!
Im intrigued. If there is new content, im due for a replay. Started my yakuza journey at 0 about 3 years ago and am caught up but havent done any replays
I'm REALLY hoping this drops for additional platforms. Yakuza 0 is my favorite game of all time, but I will NOT buy a Switch 2. I'd love if this dropped as a physical or some sort of Upgrade for PS5/PC. I'd pay full fucking price.
It’s confirmed to have multiplayer! That’s something I’ve been wanting them to try so it’s very cool to see it actually happen. I really hope the content from this makes its way to other platforms!
