They can stay in yakuza 3 ;P

In November 2016, I travelled to Kabukicho, Tokyo to film a new documentary series comparing real-life Kabukicho Tokyo to the fictionalized Kamurocho Tokyo featured in the Yakuza series by Sega.

In 2012, I filmed a documentary series, Yakuza Locations Tour 2012 to celebrate the release of the upcoming Yakuza 5 (Ryu Ga Gotoku 5). The documentary was met with overwhelming positive response from the fans and the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios team.

To celebrate my 5th year anniversary on YouTube, this is my tribute to the Yakuza (龍が如く) franchise and the amazingly talented team at Sega. This video was a labor of love, made by a fan for the fans.

Hopefully she'll be really popular among new fans and the RGG studio will take the hint and bring her back. She needs another shot in the main series.

For reals, it sucks that they never brought her back, not even for a spin-off, were they just afraid of using her after the events of 2?

aannnnd Subscribed.
 
The devs said multiple announcements. I think theres more than just Kiwami 2, but if its 7, it likely won't have a specific release date yet, hence why it probably didn't leak as well.

that's fine with me. i'm more interested in Kiwami 2 anyway. Yakuza 7 won't have Kiryu
 
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally I will be able to continue this series. I played Yakuza 1 but stopped when I couldn't find a copy of 2 for a reasonable price. I'm picking up Kiwami 1 next week too. Even if 3-5 don't get Kiwami remakes hopefully Sega at least do a remaster collection of the rest of the mainline games in the series.
 
I REALLY hope they design a new protag for Yakuza 7. Kiryu is cool and all, but he's been trying to hang the coat since 3.
yakuza 6 is confirmed to be the conclusion to Kiryu's story.

man, with Kiwami coming out next week, Persona 5 has just become part of the backlog alongside Valkyria & Broken Age

This is good stuff man :)
 
Just because 6 is the end of Kiryu's story doesn't necessarily mean that he won't appear in 7.
Unless something happens to him in 6 that prevents him from showing up in 7.
I would love for him to appear in 7 (even if I am hating the fact that I can't play as him the entire time he's there), but that's just the way I interpreted Sega's statement. They'd be moving on from Kiryu like Bioware moved on from Shepard.

I Guess they think ishin is too japanese for the west maybe, its the Yakuza game i was most interested.

I've decided I'm just going to import & play Ishin with the KHHSubs Guide after I finish Kiwami later this year. It's most likely never going to come over & I love samurai games too much to miss out on it.

If it's on the Yakuza 6 engine, I hope they get the performance a bit more stable than 6's is on base PS4. 30fps is fine, but it should at least be consistent for a remaster.

I'm hyped to see the game. I'm glad it's happening, since everyone says it's the best game in the series.

Not that I'm not happy as it is, but it kinda feels like they'll actually have one more project to announce.

Well, they said that this would not likely be the only announcement, so I'm expecting one more game.

that's fine with me. i'm more interested in Kiwami 2 anyway. Yakuza 7 won't have Kiryu

They've said he's able to return, he just wouldn't be the main character. Yakuza 4 and 5 set the pedestal for new characters to follow. Hell Majima would be the perfect main character for 7

PS4 is going to be little more than a Yakuza machine for me.

And that's just fine. Hope the Pro goes on sale this holiday. Someone in another thread stated the last game tears on vanilla PS4s.

I can make you a proper thread for this if you want or someone else can, I can't get to my computer till tomorrow.

So awesome. I jumped in with Yakuza 0, getting Kiwami next week, and then Kiwami 2 when it comes out.

I hope they find a way to make 3-5 playable on PS4 as well.

There's not enough gif on the internet to describe how happy I am right now, so I will let other flood the thread with Yakuza gif. Kiwami next week and Kiwami 2 will mean I've finally played all the mainline titles!

You know, the way this is going we might get a Yakuza Kiwami 3, with all the stuff that was cut from the original release. Wouldn't that be something?
 
Remake of 2!! Yes, I'm very excited to play Kiwami for the first time next week, but knowing that they'll remake 2 on the 6 ENGINE!! I cannot be more excited!
 
Could be an even faster turn around. They can probably use the original localization just fine (just making a few adjustments here and there where their localilzation choices have changed) and would only need to do a new translation for the actual new content.

sure, i just imagine they would want to give 6 a little time to breathe

man if we got four yakuza games in, like 18 months?

remember when we had to *beg* to have 5 localised??

I'd like that. Even with the missing stuff, 3 is my fave. The small-town setting, the kids, Rikiya; just stands out for me.

So for those of us who started with 0, why is 2 considered the best? (Now the best game will get the best graphics engine too...!)

Best antagonist, great story, incredibly fun side-quests/substories.

The Kiwami-fication treatment is only going to make it an even more amazing game.

It's just a flat out incredible game. Yakuza 2 has the best characters in the series, a wonderfully ridiculous (and genuinely heartfelt) story, a whole new city to explore, an amazing improvement to the gameplay of its predecessor. It's one of those Uncharted 2 kind of sequels that makes good on all the promises of an ambitious original game.

I think 0 just edges it out by way of its more modern design and the sheer volume of great stuff it has, but a ground-up remake of 2 on the new engine is probably going to reclaim the crown of Best Yakuza Game.
