Gaming News:Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Demo Returns to PSN
Jack Gardner posted a topic in Announcements
It was unclear whether Yakuza 6: The Song of Life would have a demo after Sega removed it from the PlayStation Network last month. The demo was notable for its size due to the demo including all of the data for the full game. The idea was to allow those who played the demo to carry over their progress and trophies to the full game on release day. However, the demo was intended to cap progress at the end of the first chapter of Yakuza 6, but some players either didn't run into that cap or found a way around it. Once that became public knowledge, Sega pulled the demo. It seems that some tweaks have been made to the demo to ensure no one can get access to the full game now. Players will be able to progress up to the end of the first chapter and then grind experience that will carry over into the full release. However, if you've already played through the demo, any trophies you've earned will be reset. If you were one of the players who made it past the chapter one cut off point, you will not be able to load that data for the demo. However, the full version of Yakuza 6 should still load that data so you can pick up where you left off. View full article -

Gaming News:Sega Removes Demo of Yakuza 6 from PSN After Some Players Find Access the Full Game
Jack Gardner posted a topic in Announcements
It seems that Sega has a bit of a kerfuffle on it's hands. After releasing the demo of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life on PSN, players found a way to use it to unlock the full game prior to its official release date. The demo apparently was the full Yakuza 6 game and was designed to lock progression after completing the first chapter. The intent of approaching the demo this way was to allow players to make progress in the game in a way that would carry over to the full release if they made the leap to the fully priced game. While progress was indeed locked for users in regions around the world, that did not happen for certain players in North America. It's not clear if those players were able to tamper with the demo to break the lock or if it was simply never locked to begin with. Whatever the case, Sega issued a statement via their social media channels to alert players that the demo would no longer be available in North America: We apologize, but have had to remove the Yakuza 6: The Song of Life demo from the PlayStation Store. We are as upset as you are, and had hoped to have this demo available for everyone today. We discovered that some were able to use the demo to unlock the full game. We’re looking into the nature of the issue. Thank you for your patience. It is unclear if Sega intends to re-release the demo at this time. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is currently slated for an April 17 release date on the PlayStation 4. View full article -
