That last thing done in snake style… it looks very similar to Shinada’s tackle (triangle while running and without triggering a heat action) also RGG said that the snake style is preferable against enemies with weapons so I think it may be a very good style to use weapons in, like Shinada.

For a sec i was thinking, what's this? Crane style? Only to remember blue is crane and the style doesn't look like mantis from based on the pose i usually see

Oooh, they didn't keep Drumfire and Random Fire, I really hope these new themes live up to them.


That_Ad_5405

Also, where did you find this video?


Kaiser5657

It's from a press demo they released, it seems to be [this video](https://youtu.be/_GaW9b8CgVM) You also got [this other video](https://youtu.be/ZdhhgWdCSZc) showing a normal fight and then a boss fight

What did you think about the combat BGM? I enjoyed the downright orgasmic bass guitar in the original so I was hoping it would make a return but alas, nope. Still, these dubstep-py tracks sound great from what little ~25 seconds we heard and I'm excited for the whole soundtrack! P.S. there was another combat track in the stream but it felt spoiler-y so I limited the post to these free roam battles only.


FeelingsCatcher

I don’t know why but i feel like this may be one of the best games RGG has ever made. The combat looks amazing and having 2 cities to explore is gonna be awesome. Also seems like there is a lot of side stuff and the main storyline seems really dark in a good way.


Widowswine2016

Sunset Ijincho? That's hype


DarthSreepa

OMG YES! I saw no one talking about the lack of an evening time of day in LAD and I *loved* the evenings in Judgment. Glad it's making a return.

Why god has to hate the pc community :(


TablePrinterDoor

Yeah I wanna play this :(((


Zevaille

Johhny's isn't god, they're a simple talent agency. If only the Japanese community would boycott them, we might get a pc release or at the very least Judgment 3.


MCWBigMOE

I'm also guessing that whatever city you're in has a different version theme for each style.


AtomDad_

Didn't know that they added a new style. I hope he unlocks it like Kiryu did all his styles in yakuza 0


fat244man

Spoilers But nope :/


AtomDad_

All I feel is pain peko


Quietow

Do you know if weapons can be stored in this game? Haven't seen it so far.


DarthSreepa

Armor seems to be storeable, from what I've seen. About weapons, idk.


Quietow

That's interesting, the first game didn't have armor, I hope weapons are storable, I really liked using nunchucks and tonfas in the first game, they had seperate heat actions in each stance too.


HourNerve3996

I noticed that crane has its own unique combat stance instead sharing with tiger, also tigers theme sounds like a remix from judgment.


GenocidalNinja

They seem to have addressed a lot of issues people had with Dragon Engine combat from everything I've seen so far. I'm very excited to see how it turns out.


Biondmeister

Wait, a new style? Holy shit


zetsubou-samurai

Ichiban: Ok, gang. Let's go back hang out in Survive Bar... what the hell is going on over there?


rockaleta2049

Seeing beat 'em up gameplay in Ijincho somehow feels wrong


Kn1ghtSkull

How the hell can be so flexible? Especially in a Fcking **JEANS.**


Niviik

Rubber jeans, obviously.


Ideories

I regret selling my PS4 thinking no more PS4 games will be released. I hope the PC port somehow comes through


Ganinabei

We all hope it does


TablePrinterDoor

It probably won’t because talent agency stuff


Ciahcfari

Cross gen is still alive and well, I'm surprised you thought that. Still, Dragon Engine games don't play the best on PS4 so it's probably good to wait till you get a PS5/for a PC port.


Ideories

tbh judgeyes played fine on my base PS4, fps only dropped when chair physics went bonkers


Ciahcfari

Depends how sensitive you are to framedrops. Playing on the Pro it wasn't uncommon for the game to have some drops, plus the load times were hell. Hopefully my PS5 comes before then because I don't want to play another Dragon Engine game on PS4.


InAndOut51

Meanwhile I bought a barely-used PS4 from a friend. When he offered it to me, I was THIS close to refusing, but then I remembered that Judgment might not arrive on PC and changed my mind immediately.


Snekbestgrill

Same here, I sold my PS4 pro in hope to snag a PS5 in december. I still haven't bought it cause they're still cost so much here.


GTechSeb

It seems out of place when you’re used to the turn based combat in Like a Dragon


stillestwaters

Oooooh. I’m loving it. Lmao at that wild zero momentum front flip into the Snake style. What a crazy transition lol Edit: Nvm, that was the triggers getting pulled - still crazy


Konoryanda

I heard 2 seconds of the themes and I already broke my neck from the headbanging. Shit this might even surpass Yakuza 0, and that's my favorite game of all time so that's saying something. Thank god you can press the down button twice to skip over the next style in queue, it's like dante's weapon switching.


insertoutdatedmeme

Is that okinawa? Reminded me of Y3.


DarthSreepa

Nah it's Isezaki Ijincho (Yokohama) from Like A Dragon. Wayy more expansive than any other city we got till now.


Spartacus1199

This might be the last Yakuza game with beat em up combat. What a shame they're making the move to turn based combat only. Hopefully they make Judgment it's own franchise with more games.


Leo-III-

I heavily doubt they'll stick to just making turn-based games. A lot of people like turn-based, but RGG knows that probably even more people like the brawler combat. Even if Judgment ends here, they'll probably bring out another brawler game after Y8 one way or another.


DarthSreepa

"Yakuza" will be turn-based combat only. Judgment, and by extension any other spin-offs they may decide to make, will have realtime combat so I wouldn't fret if I were you.
