dargondarkfire Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I took a peakaboo threw sega's yakuza forums and found someone started a petition to get sega to localize kenzan and make a yakuza hd collection https://www.change.org/petitions/sega-expand-yakuza-in-america hes only got 64 signatures... which kinda shocks me:think: I even signed and i didn't see the number change any.

MISSINGNIN Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I'll sign it. Have signed similar petitions in the past to get Yakuza titles released, have been playing the series since the 1st one on PS2. I'm a huge fan of both samurai epics and Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza and so it would be a dream come true to see Kenzan localised. An HD version would be nice but I think that's far less likely than an english release for kenzan. Would be nice just to play the 1st one subtitled rather than dubbed to bring it in line with the other 4 that got a western release.

MegaHentai Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My understanding is that Kenzan has a subplot of underage prostitution which would be highly problematic here in the West. Also, game companies pay very little attention to online petitions. Still, no harm in adding my name to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargondarkfire Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 i did not know that, but there's a lot of those tv crime shows in the US, that have had that same theme in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor_N4 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) here is an older Kenzan petition. I used to have this in my signature on here, but it didn't help much. it didnt really increase signatures and more of us on the official sega forum requested kenzan over ote but we still got ote. Plus with Yas leaving sega our chances of getting anything even Y5 are in serious doubt ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF RYU GA GOTOKU KENZAN Petition Edited June 28, 2012 by Vapor_N4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolotina Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I signed it before reading, but now I kind of regret it. Asking for DLCs? This is plain crazy, even if it's good for the publisher's health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livor_Mortiis Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well, it seems they are going to release Ryu ga Gotoku 1&2 HD edition, I hope they bring them to us like 3, 4 and Dead Souls. About Kenzan, I don't know, maybe they release it in a future, who knows. Konami announced trophies for Metal Gear Solid 4 the other day after all these years, anything can happen!

Vapor_N4 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) wait.. what?! Yas was the main guy in localizing both Y4 and YDS. Unfortunately, he left SEGA a couple months ago Edited July 31, 2012 by Vapor_N4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor_N4 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 so Yakuza 5 will become like Kenzan became only available in Japan? I dunno. I really hope not. There haven't been any localization announcements regarding Y5 or Y1/2 HD not to mention Kenzan yet. SEGA's is in real financial trouble, they had to close SEGA Europe and Australia, and Yas is no longer with SEGA USA, so at this point it's not looking good.

Musicedge Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well I signed it. I have really gotten into this series since playing 3. I even went and imported kenzan! If I had the money I would buy more copies of 4 and dead souls. I really want the HD, psp, and the missing stuff from 3 here in the states. Also kenzan!

Pagenzero Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I really do hope they bring Yakuza 5 and the HD Collection here that would suck if they didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugiwara84 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Don't even joke about the fact that 5 and the HD collection wouldn't be brought to the west. It's my favorite exclusive series on the PS3 and having missed out on playing 1 & 2 (blame WoW), I was so thrilled to see a HD remake. And why wouldn't it be brought out to the west? They're already translated. So yeah obviously signed just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorpo Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I dunno. I really hope not. There haven't been any localization announcements regarding Y5 or Y1/2 HD not to mention Kenzan yet. SEGA's is in real financial trouble, they had to close SEGA Europe and Australia, and Yas is no longer with SEGA USA, so at this point it's not looking good. via 6 degrees of Way of the Samurai 4 I came across this topic just to clarify they didn't close Sega Europe they closed Sega France (Sega London is still open and even had a release today on the psn Hell Yeah Raving Wabbits thingie) Sega France wouldn't be doing English localisation anyway it may come as a surprise to people but we do speak English in the UK so English localisation is still possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
