Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)
-
@Ringedwithtile Kiwami is Yakuza 1
So yeah, we're all hoping they announce 2 soon.
-
@TokyoSlim ehh, Kiwami's Kiwami. I know it's a remake, but I'd really like to play the series from how it began. I like seeing how a series progresses in an artistic sense; I'm a release order guy.
-
Having played through Y1 less than 6 months ago, I can definitively say that the improvements in frame rate, graphical improvements and controls that they have done to kiwami make Y1 a better, more modern game. The story holds up, but the polish and QOL improvements they've made since 2005 are pretty significant.
They've just managed to get people in the west interested in the series with Zero. I think dropping unrefined Y1 low rez jank on them is probably a bad marketing strategy. lol
Releasing the original game also competes with Kiwami and confuses people as to what game they are buying.The story holds up, but I'm glad I'm not going to be playing vanilla Y1 again.
-
@Ringedwithtile even on the psn store would be great.
-
@FF7Cloud That's what I'm hoping for! The whole PS2 on PS4 efforts have been a little disappointing, but with the recent announcements of the Jak games and Square Enix adding their first game, I'm hoping we could get some good stuff in the rest of the year.
I don't think I'll jump into the series until I have a means to play those first two games.
-
@Ringedwithtile yea i have the second on ps2 but never played the first. also my favorite harvest moon was just released as a ps2 classic.
-
I seriously don't get you guys. lol
Whatever. I may buy 2 copies of Kiwami just to try and counteract this insanity.
-
I too hope that they make a Yakuza Kiwami 2... or would it be Yakuza 2 Kiwami?
-
@Musou-Tensei I'm hoping for Yakuza 2: Sugoi
-
For anyone curious as to the upgrades:
Here's a nice DigitalFoundry vid on it from it's Japanese release.

-
I hope GameStop also does a poster with the pre-order. I got a Yakuza 0 one when I picked up my copy.
-
@Musou-Tensei
Yakuza 2 Kiwami does kinda make sense as the next game, although I've also heard a 3-5 compilation might be this years game.
Although I'm confident that Sega really is trying to get the main numbered games on PS4 ( Although I wouldn't mind a Kenzan remake/port)
-
@TokyoSlim Hell yea 2 Kiwami!
They gotta be working on something!Binary Domain 2 lol
-
@parasitepaladin Even better
Billy Hatcher 2: Please Be Eggcited
-
@TokyoSlim
That was Yuji Naka, not Nogoshi
-
@DMCMaster Oh right. He was just a producer or something.
-
Would have paid 60 for it, more than happy to get it at half that!
-
-
@ACardAttack
Hell I paid close to $90 the first time Kiwami came out (Granted that was mostly shipping)Just want to say its awesome that Yakuza finally seems to be getting a good foothold in the west.
-
Same
I jumped in at 3 and haven't looked back. This series reminds me so much of Sega when they made consoles. It has so much style and is just as blast to play. Really makes me feel like a kid again
