Hell, I kept on doing that minigame well after finishing the quest just to level up all of my Platinum Gals. Just a lot of fun to do. The Sunshine Fever is real!

REMOVE THAT IMAGE NOW, DON'T SPOIL ONE OF THE BEST SUBSTORIES OF THE SERIES.
seriously friend

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Y3-5 collection for PS4? Just higher res, 60 fps stuff, restore the content missing from 3 and such. No need to do a full remake.
I'm hoping it'll happen sooner rather than later, I don't think I can really play Y6 before I've gone through the whole series and I reeeaaally don't want to dig my PS3 out.
No it is absolutely not.
I'm expecting multiple projects because SEGA needs a big seller to fill up their TGS booth.

There's certainly precent. I believe they announced Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Kiwami at the same show at TGS. Would not be at all unbelievable for them to also announce the next Yakuza game (or maybe a new IP/project altogether?)
I feel like we're living the dream where people actually give a shit about Yakuza games now. Those bitter days are gone.

Someone is going to have to do the Shenmue remasters.

Are the announcements only Yakuza related or is there any chance for other Sega titles to be anounced too?
I see a lot of people mentioning BD2 but I'm not really sure about the stream's content.

Nagoshi be like: 'this isn't even my final form'
It is a "Yakuza Studio livestream", not a "Yakuza series livestream". So there could be games from other series as long as they are made by YS.
It's a Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio presentation so Binary Domain 2 is certainly a possibility although I wouldn't count on it for the fact is failed miserably.
Wait what am I saying who cares were all dreamers now BINARY DOMAIN 2 HYYYPPPEEE!
Yakuza in space but still with samurai.
YouTube stream should tell you what time it is based on your area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPtfA507syg&feature=youtu.be
But from a story perspective does playing 2 first have any impact on how you enjoy 6?

2 and 6 do share some minor plot details, really not all that import in the grand scheme of 6's plot, more like a nod to the fans. You won't lose anything by playing 2 and 6 in either order.
In case anyone wondering regarding the plot point, its
that the Korean Mafia have a small roll in the plot. More of a foot note really, but still a cool nod. Oh, and the main man in the Korean Mafia you fight has a bloody awesome piece of music

That means 3 new games in 2017 from one franchise. Jesus Christ
Can't wait to play kiwami then play this.
Now all I need is a 3,4,5 1080P 60FPS Collection and I'll be Gucci
It uses the Yakuza 6 engine, but it won't use yakuza 6's combat I presume ?

2 in the West, and only 1 in Japan most likely.

P5 was such a disappointment in terms of minigames after playing Y0.

They might tweak the moves you get in Kiwami 2 to fall more in line with the original game/Kiwami 1 but they'll most likely use 6's combat as the base. Just as long as they flesh it out I don't really care, what they had in 6 did feel damn good, and the inclusion of an actual physics engine was definitely appreciated!
I know gaf loves Yakuza to death but why ain't people raising their pitchforks over the "shameless milking" of the franchise at this point? the number of yakuza games being released recently is quite high and any other franchise would have been bashed to death if they had similar numbers. is it all about quality of the games? then would milking be excused if all games were good or do franchises still need a breather and why isn't Yakuza getting one? seems like an interesting discussion all things regarded.
The story and characters continue to grow. It's like a good long TV show.
I feel like Joker wouldn't have to worry about improving his S link with Kiryu. It's obvious playing Yakuza Kiryu becomes best friends with anyone he meets haha.
Automatic rank ups.

Is it gonna be called 2 Kiwami or Kiwami 2?

Basically this. Characters and plots (major and minor) are reflected across the series and characters continue to grow as the games go on.
Gameplay wise its refined over and over as the series goes on. Yakuza 1 to Kiwami is an excellent example, since the first game is a bit rough round the edges now, and Kiwami has the benefit of taking the last 10 years worth of improvements and stuff them all in a remake.
Oh, and they are very fun. They avoid the usual issue I have with "open world" games by having a small area to explore, but densely pack it with entertaining activities to do. Plus side stories aren't repetitive "do X thing Y number of times" and instead has you interact with the rather odd residents of the red light district.
2 Kiwami
Too extreme!
Well it's gonna be a while before I play 6 so would be cool so see how it's implemented, just wondering how fans will react if the combats changed completely from the standard when 2 is loved so much
Although from the minor bits I've seen of the physics in 6, and I love physics in fighters and shooters like FEAR etc, it would be great to see. Maybe somehow implement the physics into the 0 combat ?
2 Kiwami, 2 Furious
Forgot about localisation, but with the good sales of 0 and presumably/hopefully kiwami it should be quicker localisation then before ?
