Sega will "aggressively" focus on PC ports after Steam strength during lockdown

Great! I'm waiting for Yakuza 3-6 and spin-offs now!

Glad to hear there are more fans, as the series is more popular in Japan.

Sidenote\correction: actually Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a main entry + reboot and not a sidestory. It's called Yakuza 7 in Japan, but because Kiryu's story is done and there's a new protagonist, as well as a new turn-based combat that differs from the traditional gameplay, it also serves as a starting point for the franchise to newcomers, which is why sega for marketing reasons, dropped the number from the title from the western release, announced next-gen ports to the game as launch titles and added English dub to the game, for the first time since the original Yakuza 2 on the PS2 (although the great reception for Judgement's English dub probably contributed to it too). 

Anyway, I'm happy Sega\Atlus finally noticed the PC market, and I hope other Japanese publishers wil follow suit too.

Oh, I didn't know that! I actually just started with Kiwami after completing Yakuza 0, so I'm still busy with Kiryu's story. I'm gonna edit my article, thanks for the imput.

The gameplay you're describing seems like interesting twist, but I can't really imagine turn-based combat in a Yakuza game. Maybe I'll enjoy it once I'm there?

You're Welcome :) 

From what I've seen the gameplay retains the wacky\over-the-top feel of the franchise, while letting you control your whole party in combat as well, which is exciting in my opinion. The game is already came out in Japan months ago, and from what I understand it was generally received well, but I haven't followed the reception there closely enough so don't take my word for it. I predict people will be split about it here, we'll have to see. 

Funny thing is, the combat was first revealed as a concept on April's fools day, but it turned that they managed to fool everyone by not really fooling them afterall LOL.   

Thx post

I hope they dont go crazy with the pricing, just like Capcom did with Resident Evil 3 Remake. The game sold really poorly plus it has some horrible regional pricing.

They probably got too excited by how well Resident Evil 2 Remake sold.

Also... Persona 5 on Steam, please?

they need to get back to PC gaming 

these games look nicesly, but there are for short group people

I really want some old school re-makes. I know that most of them are terrible. But the nostaglia! THE NOSTAGLIA!! 

(What old School Sega game do you want Sega to make a remake of?)

Shining Force (1 not 2)

Phantasy Star (1-4, nothing after, lol)

And of course Classic Might & Magic!
