Sega Brings Zombie Apocalypse to Yakuza

[lacktheknack]

The series has now officially jumped the shark.

This is not a news article, its marketing. If you want to market games for your advertisers, put it in a Marketing column, not News. Its not News.

If it was advertising, wouldn't Sega have given them all of this news straight-up so they wouldn't have had to grab it from 1UP?

A zombie game that is just set in a city and not an apocalyptic senario?! Count me in! Awesome!

 

[mjc0961]

Sorry SEGA can't hear you, too busy waiting for Dead Rising 2.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

You know, I'd prolly have some interest in the Yakuza series if it wasn't for Sega America butchering the games when they release them here and not including the Japanese voice-tracks. >_>

 

[Jared]

Hehe. Add zombies, always adds some great artistic flair

 

[Evilsanta]

Well...This do sound a little interesting but i will get Dead Rising 2 instead if this will be realeasd outside of Japan that is.

 

[Corpse XxX]

I think by 2020 every game that comes out will contain zombies.

This is what im thinking as well.. Zombies will be as a normal part of any game as multiplayer is..

Whats next? "My little Pony: Zombie edition" Would not surprise me..

there needs to be a law that states that everygame needs a zombie mode

 

[Unrulyhandbag]

Ugh.. *yawn* Serious or not, zombies are so overused these days.

Indeed, the very premise of zombies has become a bit too hackneyed. I mean really, zombies no matter what, leaves me asking "again?" I'd rather see vampires or something entirely made up inspired by horror creatures/myths if we had to go with the Halloween monster route.

A vision of Yakuza in a three way battle with Godzilla and a small group of the thing from The Thing flashed before my eyes.

I agree. It was cool in Nazi Zombies, but it's proven to be another case of "everybody copy the new guy". It's been done with "dark and edgy" and Bullet Time and zombies have become the newest casualty.

At least it's not Sonic with zombies.

Robots can be zombies in a way... Just mind controlled.

I never played the other Yakuza games. If this were the last game of the series, I'd have to say that it is an interesting way to bring it to an end... xD

Think of it like this: What if Rockstar came out with a sequel to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas [http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-Andreas-Playstation-2/dp/B000EHQDA0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1284522660&sr=8-2] that pitted Carl against a city full of zombie gangsters? It'd be pure awesome, that's what.

I can out awesome that.

Tommy Vercetti vs The Lost Boys. Hairstyles in FULL EFFECT!

 

[Spaec]

I think by 2020 every game that comes out will contain zombies.

Seconded. They're way past overused.

 

[Arisato-kun]

Sega's really been screwing up this year at TGS. First announcing that Valkyria Chronicles 3 is going to be on the PSP, now ruining Yakuza with zombies.

I think it doesn't need to be said but Sega, I am disappoint.

 

[Talon_Skywarp]

Oh I remember 8 years ago when no one cared about zombies. *sigh* another thing people have stolen from me...

OT- Yakuza can do whatever it wants and I will still buy it. I love them. Plus, if you played it, zombies could be fun, given yakuza's over the top combat.

 

[Ekonk]

I fucking love zombies, but not once have I seen them implemented into games the way they should be.

Where is the World War Z of video games?

 

[Tom Goldman]

It's not new, but I like to see people trying different stuff. New or not.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I think by 2020 every game that comes out will contain zombies.

That's gonna do weird things to Peggle....
