Yakuza Kiwami 2 Is Coming To PS4 In The West In August

How about 3, 4 and 5? They should be ported from PS3 next and pronto if you guys want me to finally throw in the towel and get a PS4.

The price was jacked up from $30 to $50. Damn.

Yakuza Twoza.

I do not know what I should do!! for years i wanted to try these games. finally did and I love them. I started with Kiwami, now on 0 so already out of order. However I am thinking I should try and play the rest in order, 3 is hard to find so if I cant play that one I can atleast play 2-4-5-6 since I have 4 and 5 on plus.

What does everyone recommend? Catch up on backlog until kiwami 2 releases then play yakuza games straight through? or just play them out of order?

I bought Yakuza zero on release day (in the west) but still haven't been able to finish it. I have tried a few times but just can't get into it at all. The story I admit is pretty good but absolutely everything else isn't, the graphics aren't great, the combat is kind of boring and gets very tedious when you fight someone every street you go down, the maps are tiny.....But it has a large fanbase and lots of people really like it. What am I missing here? What do fans of the series really like about this game? I have gotten to the part of Yakuza zero where you play as Kiryu for the second time and just got the property management part.....does the game get any better or if I don't like it by now should I just stop attempting to get into it?

Yeesh man, too many Yakuza games coming nowadays. I fear fatigue will set in.

I did manage to finish Yakuza 3 and 4 on the PS3, thoroughly enjoyed them. I've played Yakuza 0 on PS4, but time is a big factor with these games and work. I still also have Yakuza Kiwami 1 to play, then Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 6 when they are released. Arrrrrrgh, not enough time.

Yakuza is SEGA's attempt to capitalize on annual releases like we all know COD and Assassins Creed and even DBZ games are.

Two Yakuza games on 2017 alone. Soon if not already this franchise will be one game a copy and some small mods of the last. Yakuza 6 Song of Life was already boring.

sweet, ive only played zero and a bit of kiwami so far.

I suppose we should be thankful that SEGA is doing this. They could just give the middle finger to the west as far as this remake goes. I am psyched that the Yakuza series so far has all been released so far in NA as well as Japan.

Thank you SEGA!!!! I started looking on Amazon on a weekly basis to see if they were gonna localize Kiwami 2 and was beginning to lose hope. But Sega (very surprisingly) have been pleasing fans & me alot here recently. Gonna pick this and Song of Life up day one!!!

Does the studio that make these games not like the United States? You think with how popular this series is in the US that they would want to release this ASAP.

@CallMeDuraSouka: I have the same problem...once I am caught up with my current backlog I am going to buy 1 or 2 games at a time. That includes Steam sales as well. I rather have less games and more enjoyment out of them. Right now playing catch up is feeling like a chore.

Sweet.

Can’t wait!

sega has become one of my favourite publishers of late... amazing how they have turned it around over the past few years... the only dirt on their slate was sonic forces last year. valkyria chronicles 4 is looking to be a return to form for that series as well and is releasing this fall. keep it up, seegaaaaa!

I'm currently playing Kiwami 1 right now and was hoping for this news. Right time.

nice, i didn't expect this to come out this year at all.

Sega finally see yakuza have a fanbase internationally

Shame they couldn't have released it before 6 but will be getting both anyway.
