[Cybersai]

Just remasters, not remakes? I wish Yakuza 3 at least was remade.

 

[FFObsessed]

Yes! I can play the whole series now! Woohoo

 

[AlexFlame116]

Whoa! So wait, these aren't the same as the Kiwami versions then right?

 

[Cybersai]

The PS4 will now have 7 Yakuza games, and soon 8 when the next game comes. Holy shit.

 

[Gurish]

So the whole series is on PS4 in one way or another. Nice.

 

[klee123]

Sensible decision.

Make them 60fps like 0 and Kiwami.

Unlike 2, the 3 sequals would still look great at 1080P

I think they are fresh enough to not necessarily need a remake.

 

[Angeal78]

Take all my money now.

 

[MattyG]

Hopefully these get localized, because then I'll have no excuse but to finally start Zero (again, I only got through one chapter last time).

 

[Chopin the Third]

Wow

 

[Knight613]

That's pretty awesome to hear.

[Deleted member 1839]

Hopefully these get localized soon after each release.


Or maybe a complete package when they all release.

 

[Deleted member 26293]

60fps/1080p Yakuza 5 is going to be amazing.

 

[Sir Guts]

I assume they aren't localized right?

 

[Fat4all]

speak of the devil

 

[principal]

This is great.

 

[super moustique]

I can see myself replaying 4 one day, it all depends on if this is a quality remaster or not.

Whoa! So wait, these aren't the same as the Kiwami versions then right?

The Kiwami games are remakes ( of Y1 and 2).

 

[Android Sophia]

I never got to play Yakuza 5 because it was digital only, and it would have been impractical to install it on my PS3. So this is a blessing.

 

[Vivi]

Wow my ps3 collection seems less cool now. Going to buy these new PS4 versions.

 

[Mechaplum]

Yes! Though it'll mean that I'll only play Y6 late next year...

 

[aerie]

Awesome, i've actually only played Yakuza 3 and i really loved it. I will, and probably pretty soon, start getting to the rest of them.

 

[KNECHT]

Wow, out of nowhere!

 

[danm999]

Cool, can fill in the gaps between 2 and 6.

 

[Chessguy1]

what is that source?

i just recently bought and played them all so i'll actually wait and buy them when they are cheap

 

[Gxgear]

It makes a lot of sense, but what are we look at here? Some context of the source would be nice.

 

[noyram23]

Nice, wish they could add in the zombie spin-off as well because that's the one which actually suffers the most when it comes to performance. How about Ishin too guys?

 

[Fat4all]

all the mainline yakuzies on one platform

and a few years ago i was wondering if I'd every get to play Y4

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm cool with remasters, they're PS3 games after all. Hopefully we'll get at least one remaster next year in Europe. :)

 

[Jawbreaker]

I will buy them all.

Time to sell my PS3 copy of Yakuza 3.

 

[norwegiandude86]

Damn just Japan dates please please release these in the west still learning japanese :(

 

[Hardvlade]

YES YES YES!

I absolutely love the series and I'll gladly buy each day 1!

 

[matrix-cat]

Will buy; I've been thinking about replaying 4 lately. I'm happy they're going with simple remasters rather than full Kiwamis; I don't want to see RGG Studio fall into the same endless loop of new game/remake that Gamefreak does these days. Port these bad boys quick and simple and then get on with the new stuff. Yakuzas 3, 4 and 5 are all modern enough that a full remaster isn't necessary; all I'd really want are 1080p/60FPS and maybe an update to the new save system where you only have to sit through one progress bar instead of two :P

 

[okayfrog]

Thank the maker.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

yesssssssss, I need Yakuza 4 and 5 asap.

These games BETTER be 60fps, if not pass.

 

[Polyh3dron]

Please be released in English outside of Japan. And please restore the missing content to the English localized version of Yakuza 3.

 

[SgtCobra]

So good.

 

[bluexy]

Makes sense. Capitalize on the success of Yakuza 0, the Kiwamis, and Yakuza 6 all releasing close to each other. So just keep the moneyball rolling.

That said, I really think Kiwami updates for all of them would be brilliant.

 

[Zalman]

Hoping we get physical releases of these. Would love to have the entire collection.

 

[asheliaX]

They will be localized in time. Good shit, Sega!

 

[AwwBubbles]

 

[Akibared]

Hell yeah it's no longer going to awkward to recommend this series to people!

 

[Fat4all]

They will be localized in time.

for sure

yakuzies are finally doing ok in the west

 

[BAN PUNCHER]

An uncut English version of Yakuza 3 would be a day one purchase.

 

[Kwigo]

OMG YES !

quick google search

seems hes pretty reliable

 

[5taquitos]

Yo what.

Goddammit.

How am I supposed to ever play any games series again when I can now play Yakuza 0-6 on my PS4?

 

[lupinko]

Whoa! So wait, these aren't the same as the Kiwami versions then right?

Click to shrink...

Nope.

But expect Nagoshi and company to make Kiwami versions anyway.

Sega knows the fan base will keep rebuying and replaying the same games over and over.

 

[SCB360]

this is so good if, like me, you started on 0, I'm in
