Yakuza 7 will change the franchise in a big way by introducing turn-based combat.
Sega has revealed Yakuza 7, and it's already clear that this upcoming sequel will represent a significant departure for the series.
Let's get right to it: according to an interview translated by Gematsu, Yakuza 7 will feature a turn-based combat system. Given that Yakuza's real-time brawling combat is one its trademarks (and highlights), this move to turn-based combat is a stunning change in direction. Interestingly, Eurogamer points out that Sega actually did tease Yakuza 7's turn-based combat but framed it as an April Fool's joke.
That April Fool's joke video may actually be our best look at how Yakuza's turn-based combat works. Assuming that video is accurate, then it looks like Yakuza 7's turn-based combat system is going to be a bit more stylish than your typical Jrpg experience. We see a lot of animations,...

In March 1985, the great George Plimpton wrote a piece for Sports Illustrated that told the story of Sidd Finch, a seemingly out-of-nowhere mountain man who was raised in an English orphanage, studied yoga in Tibet, and was now discovered by the New York Mets. The team was desperate to keep him under wraps because he threw the baseball at 168 mph. After creating an enormous stir inside the media and the sport itself with Plimpton’s exceedingly well-told yarn, the magazine revealed that Finch was, in fact, an elaborate April Fool’s joke.
The idea that a human being could throw a ball 168 mph is implausible, but the part of the story that should have sounded alarms is that such a prodigious talent would go undiscovered and then, somehow, kept secret. Pro baseball players, like Sundance filmmakers, don’t come out of nowhere.
Of all the Sundance myths that developed over the last 35 years,...

Jokes on you, fools! Celebs loooooove to hit up social media on the first of April to play April Fool's jokes on the world—and most of us get tricked every time! But how did this April Fool's business of tricking the ones you love most even start? Well it's got a pretty long history and the origin of April Fool's is widely disputed. Some say the concept of April foolishness goes back to Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. In 1508, French poet Eloy d'Amerval referred to a poisson d'avril (which literally meant "Fish of April") and is possibly the first reference to the April Fool's celebration in France. Some writers suggest that April Fools' originated...

Finding any genuine April Fool’s moments in movies is kind of like trying to peek through a wheat field to find individual stalks, but at the very least there are a few movies that seem to have the spirit of April Fool’s Day down when it comes to their sense of humor. So instead of finding individual scenes about the day in question it seems like more fun to go ahead and treat the reader to a few films that might be great to watch this coming Sunday when the day of fools is upon us.
