What the fuck? This sounds like complete horse shit. Does that mean Sonic Origins was just an incredibly lucky guess or that someone got information on Sonic Origins and made up the rest? You can't expect me to believe it's all true. :confused:

Yakuza 8?

I have not played Yakuza Like a Dragon yet (so I don't know how it ends), but wasn't their plan to continue this new saga with turn based combat instead?

Edit: Not that I take a random 4chan "leak" serious though.

New Jet Set Radio is exciting, the rest not so much. Haven't cared about Virtua Fighter since the second one but hey if it means Sega will make new entries in their historical franchises instead of spamming Sonic and Yakuza games I'm all for it.

Pretty tame rumor if you ask me. That tie of Sonic with his movies sound plausible since the movies could be a bait for kids to move into their games(with demented changes in the games as well).

Still...not completelly sure about the rest.

Is Yakuza the Ubisoft series of Japan? :messenger_tears_of_joy:
lol yesssssss!

Basically.

Uses the same assets many times, same location many times. Shit even those new AC titles don't really do that now that I think about it, they are different locations for the most part, where most of the Yakuza series is in the same city.

J jaysius I love the series, but I have to agree with this. They are a worse offender regarding those types of things an I think people just love to bash Ubisoft for what they THINK Ubisoft does vs what the factually do. I might like Yakuza more, but anyone mad at copy and paste shit needs to understand that Yakuza series makes AC, Watchdogs, Far Cry etc look like childs play when it comes to copy and paste shit. Same models, many times same animations, same city lol They don't give a shit.

Kiryu better not be playable, or if he is I hope the game doesn't let him fight women lol

Seriously though, if the first thing post-Nagoshi RGGS does is have Kiryu fighting women then I really worry for the future of Yakuza because they don't get it.

yes the mainline Yakuza series is now a turn based RPG...starting with Yakuza 7 (like a dragon) so that would continue with yakuza 8.
 
4chan leaks are about as reliable as asking your local crackhead for info
It's from 4chan? Yea I call bullshit.

Not saying they're 100% right all the time, but I'm also not saying they're 100% wrong all the time either. They're just like every other rumor site, including us.

Fake as fuck... here's my analysis
  • Kiryu would be unlikely to be playable in a fighting game, and less if he could beat up a woman
  • RGGS wouldn't improve much in a VF game anyways.
  • SEGA wouldn't want to risk it too early with multiple playable characters when they're just making a new formula, at most, Shadow and/or Metal Sonic would be there as reskins, nothing else.
  • Sonic 5 looks like a leap, SEGA wouldn't want to retread Sonic 4 after it's failure and less considering Mania's success.
  • Mario & Sonic, Demon Slayer 2 and Persona 4 Golden for Switch aren't too unlikely, easily the most believable part of the leak.
  • SEGA did say they went to check their back catalogue to see stuff that would make more money, It is also likely they'd be bringing back something like Jet Set... but their still very early into that idea, probably not even past the planning stages.

Yeah, there’s no chance this is real. And Sonic 5?! If a Sonic 5 is actually announced, I will request to be permabanned from here. That’s how confident I am that it’s not gonna happen.

I hope this is true, but obviously I'm doubtful

The only thing that sucks

Sonic frontiers:
shadow playable.

We only need sonic, knuckles and tails in our sonic games.
 

Fat Frog

I advertised for Google Stadia
I have no opinion about that rumour but...


IMO a new Jet Set Radio is very plausible (bloomberg + Masayoshi Kikuchi leading some Super Games + the official return of JSR staff at Sega)


Virtua Fighter 6 ? VF5US was a success according to the producer therefore it's not crazy to expect a sequel.


For the rest, no opinion.

Way too good to be truth…..
a new Yakuza will come eventually, sonic as well…. But Jet set radio and VF they really need to have a comeback.

There's nothing outrageously unrealistic in here (if Skies of Arcadia 2 and a new SRPG Shining Force was on the list then I would dismiss it immediately).

I image that any JSR is pretty early in development. Maybe they saw the 800k+ views the first trailer of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk got and realised there was a fanbase there:



VF5 recently got a re-release, so I don't see why here can't be a VF6.

I wonder if the new Yakuza 8 etc will be current-gen only? I really want to see what a "next-gen" Dragon Engine looks like!
