I thought we just heard of Kiwami 2's existence. There's already this much footage for it?
Edit: Fair enough, I'm sure they have plenty of assets to re-use. I just didn't know it was actually along.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Yakuza 2 reconfirming itself as The Best One.

Did you play Yakuza 0? It has Outrun and Space harrier and two others that I'm blanking on for some reason.
Yakuza 6 will have Virtua fighter 5 and Puyo Puyo.

This looks awesome.
This looks awesome.
Maybe they can rig a way to make the games selectable from the main menu?
I did, I was expecting Vf5 from Kiwami, but misread that since it's in Y6. Although VF5 wouldnt make much sense. I wanted to play Boxcelios however but I think that's either in Y4?
I played alot of VF2 in 5. The other two were fantasy zone and super hang on in 0.

So how far will they go with these remakes? Willt hey stop with 2 since it was the last non HD game or will they keep going and redo the PS3 games as well?
Holy shit really? That's insane.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yep, these games continue to be fucking amazing. As soon as this goes up for a localized pre order, I will do it so hard.

Awesome. I was really hoping to see Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned playable in KIWAMI 2 since that was the most up-to-date VF 4 game at the time. I'm really hoping at some point in the future, Daytona USA will be fully playable with online in a future installment.

Yakuza 3&4 feel like pretty much the same engine as Yakuza 5, 0 and Kiwami. They really aren't in need of a remake, a PS4 port or remaster is all that's needed imo.
Edited*
Really? It's seems 3,4 and Kenzan share a similar engine.
0 and Kiwami are on the same engine as 5. 4 and 5s engines are like night and day.

Is it me or does the game not look as good as Yakuza 6? Something about the lighting, but also Majima's face looking low-poly.

Fantastic! Virtual-On is a nice surprise.

I didn't know Majima would be playable. Does he get his own story or is he just a bonus or something? I like Majima but I think the franchise is becoming a bit too obsessed with him ever since people started falling head over heels for him in 0.

Yea, I guess you're right on the (Kenzan, 3, 4) / (5, Ishin) jump.
In my memory the jump wasn't anywhere near as big as the Y6 leap from what I've seen. Those early PS3 games still feel pretty solid from the last time I played them.

I wish I could blank out on Fantasy Zone.
Boxcellios must return, they could even retro-fy it.
They can.
