2017 Is Off To a Great Start For PS4 With Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush 2

GameRevolution: "As with previous generations, Sony's investment in first-party support is paying off several years into the generation. In the same way that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Killzone 2, and Demon's Souls took a few years to hit the PS3, the PS4 is now being swarmed with attractive titles across many genres."

Yakuza 0 went under my radar but may have to check it out.
Best Buy messed up so I get Gravity Rush 2 today instead of tomorrow(release day) so I am pretty happy.

rainslacker2672d ago (Edited 2672d ago )

Have to wait another day for my GR2. Forgot to update my card on Amazon after changing banks.:( Will get mine on Saturday, and kind of sucks because I have the whole weekend to myself and was looking to kick it off early.:)

Glad to see Yakuza 0 getting good reviews. Might have to check it out sometime soon too.

BlakHavoc2672d ago (Edited 2672d ago )

I fully expect Nioh and Horizon to continue the trend as well. Yakuza 0 was not a game im considering playing until now, can't ignore these reviews. It would be my first game in the series, but from what I've heard it's a great place to start.

_-EDMIX-_2672d ago

Plus you have to also factor that the Remake is actually coming during the summer and Yakuza 6 is coming next year.

Good place to start indeed.

Plus talks of Sega trying to Port over Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 to the PlayStation 4.

I believe based on Yakuza remake in Japan and the West might determine if they go ahead and create Yakuza 2 remake.

Keep in mind that it was a smaller separate team within Sega that created that remake so we could very well still see a Yakuza 7 in development along with a Yakuza 2 remake by the same team that just did the first game.

I don't know who they're going to get to do the ports of 3-5 hopefully they could contract it to a team like bluepoint games

lodossrage2672d ago

not taking away from the content of the article, but that has to be the most tired phrase in gaming.

Every year, someone throws up the "good time to be a gamer" slogan. Gets dull with overuse.

Genuine-User2672d ago (Edited 2672d ago )

Well if you're into quality Japanese games and you've got a PlayStation 4, I'd say that phrase could not be more apt.

In the span of 8 weeks:

The Last Guardian
Gravity Rush 2
Yakuza 0
Resident Evil 7
Nioh
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8

lodossrage2672d ago (Edited 2672d ago )

I agree with you.

It's just how many years have we seen that phrase pushed out?

Edit- you forgot to add nier automata to that

rainslacker2672d ago

Luckily, the games aren't dull. Games are a lot of fun, making it a good time to be a gamer. :-P

KwietStorm_BLM2672d ago

His point is it's literally always a good time to be a gamer, because when there's games to play, it's good. And there's always games. It's just like telling the same joke over and over and expecting it to be funny. Don't say something just because it people say it. At least you didn't say good time to be (platform owner). Those guys are even worse.

Summons752672d ago

Yakuza, such a great series. Can't wait for RE7 and Tales next week. This year is going to be a ridiculously good year for all gamers and all platforms.

FallenAngel19842672d ago

How you going to talk about Sony's investment in first party support in the description when one of the games discussed in this article is a third party title

Genuine-User2672d ago (Edited 2672d ago )

Good catch. It should be first to third party exclusive support.

lodossrage2672d ago (Edited 2672d ago )

The article mentions first party too, Gravity Rush 2. So I guess they SHOULD have re worded a bit

Gravity Rush is a Sony owned/ made franchise. It does focus on Yakuza 0 more though for sure.

_-EDMIX-_2672d ago

Agreed.

The only thing I could possibly say is Sony's involvement of getting Yakuza 5 over to the West along with zero the Remake and 6.

I was watching a development diary talking about the series and I didn't know this but when the original Yakuza released Sony was the one that helped fund the title.

With the exception of the recent localization I don't really know Sony's involvement with the series in regards to specifics but it is very clear that their third party relations has been listening to fans and is partly responsible for those games coming to the West.

Underrated PlayStation JRPG Gem Goes 50% Off In New Sale

Gravity Rush 2, a highly rated PlayStation exclusive, is currently available to purchase at $9.99 on the official PS Store.

OtterX79d ago

Gravity Rush would be an amazing series to be reborn on PSVR2. (sure to make the motion sick squeamish! haha) Anyone who has never played them should pick these games up though, they were really fun, unique/wild gameplay w a lot of style. My only complaint is the Part 2 has a really slow start, but it picks up.

shinoff218379d ago

I remember when part 2 came out. Part 1 physical copy worth went through the roof.

OtterX79d ago

Nice. I still have have my Gravity Rush physical copy for Vita, but I only owned Remastered + 2 digitally. Wish I had gone physical though.

jznrpg78d ago

I own all of the games physically for Vita and PS4.

Inverno78d ago

Gravity Rush in VR would most likely kill someone lolz. GR2 and the first Mirrors Edge are the only games I've played where I've gotten horrible motion sickness but just couldn't stop playing em. Really hope that motion capture clip really is a movie cause the series deserves more attention.

OtterX78d ago

Ha, yea it would be a bit like Sairento VR (constant 1st person flipping combat), mixed with Detached VR (360 space thrusters) with all comfort settings off, if you've ever played either of those! XD

Eidolon78d ago

GR1/2 would need quite the overhaul to work in VR. If they do make one from the ground up it definitely would work and couldn't be as motionly crazy as some games I've played on the Quest 2, like that Grapple game.

jznrpg78d ago

Loved the first one Vita and second on PS4. Most VR games I’m fine but the nature of Gravity Rush I am not sure I could handle it or not as it may make me feel sick to my stomach. I’d give it a try at least

GoodGuy0979d ago

Gravity rush 1 I really enjoyed but for some odd reason I couldn't as much with the sequel. It was a good game but the controls were very clunky and a game like that just really needs a higher framerate with how precise you need to be. Also everyone is for some reason just absolutely rude towards Kat which got me too annoyed lol.

The visuals and art style were amazing though. If they were to ever make a sequel, you fix these problems, then GR would be great games.

blackblades78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

I enjoyed and play the 1st one on vita, i enjoyed there. Then I played the remaster with dlc when it came out. Gravity rush 2 I bought long time ago on ps4 but never got into it. I didnt even make it to 1st quarter of it. Its just what it is, I'll try to get back on to it sooner or later.

Rebel_Scum78d ago

More an adventure game than a JRPG tbh

jznrpg78d ago

Second game felt more rpgish but I agree they are more adventure than rpg

Eidolon78d ago

Adventure games are more narrative. Life is Strange, etc... This is Action-Adventure, can even say slightly plaformer, some RPG elements, but of course they will call it JRPG(buzz word) to sell.

DefaultComment78d ago

Gravity rush should be on PC by now. At least that will get tose numbers to raise a little.

DarXyde78d ago

The stupidity of exputer calling Gravity Rush 2 a JRPG aside...If y'all haven't bought the game yet, please do. It's such a great, charming game.

I have been absolutely gutted at the idea that there won't be a Gravity Rush 3, and I genuinely hope people give it a fair shake.

Even After 7 Years, Gravity Rush 2 Is A Beautiful Game That Deserves PC Exposure

It's been 7 years since the mystifying Gravity Rush 2; if Sony plans to put obscure exclusives on PC, it's the very definition of underrated.

Skuletor105d ago

A Gravity Rush 2 port would be cool but I'm not sure how many people will be interested in buying a sequel to a game they haven't played before, though it worked for The Uncharted Legacy Collection so who knows? A Bloodborne port should definitely happen first though, the fact the game never even got a PS4 Pro patch is suspicious.
