    Playing this is quite good, story is good mind you * long. Only on chapter 7, didn't know there's another 10 to go.

    Some stupid missions mind you.

    Completed this, didn't bother with the extra missions, did some but a lot of stupid missions.

    The main story was really good though.

    Might give the other ones a go.

    Downoaded the first part of the Yakuza Remastered collection. Getting released in installments (?) with first part 3 out now and 4 and 5 getting released in October and February 2020.
    Absolutely fell in love with this series and bought every part released on the PS4.

    Are these done on the same engine as Zero and Kiwami 1?

    Looks like a more rushed effort (not meaning negatively ) to get these out on the PS4 before ps5 hits.

    They announced/claimed they wanted all the Yakuza games available on one generation of consoles, hence the last few kiwami years. But reckon they've had to step the process up, what with ps5 likely hitting second half of 2020.

    I doubt it is a case of being rushed. The remasters have been out in Japan for a year, and because they are remasters rather than remakes (as the Kiwami games were) they don't need as long to work on them.

    Thanks. I found the answer, all three are in the same older engine as Zero and Kiwami. 6 and Judgement are examples of using the new engine.

    Aye, sorry that's more what I was meaning.

    I think they had ideas to kiwami the all, but with the remasters easier to release, makes more sense, than to actually rebuild each game as a kiwami.

    Just started playing Judgment, which probably could be seen as the spiritual successor of the Yakuza games. Same develepors, same world/town. Been great this far.

    Played all the PS4 Yakuza games (excluding the new remastered pack and spin off Judgement), great series. I see Yakuza 7 is going to have turn based combat instead of the usual, that should be pretty weird.

    That could be a stroke of genius, love a turn based combat game....

    If anybody has ps now they have loads of the old versions to play. For me the old ones are so much better, zero to me seemed rushed and very repetitive, haven’t played any since. Side missions on zero were especially tiresome. Would love the series to be on the switch would work great on the handheld to just pick up and play

    There's a few videos on YouTube showing footage of it and I think it was an IGN interview with one of the head guys of the studio discussing 7.

    Zero was one of my favourites, especially the real estate and cabaret club building missions, 6 I though was pretty threadbare for a Yakuza game and sort of rushed you through the story.

    whens 7 due for release ? . I remember there used to be a 18 -24 month between U.K. and ROW. 5 was my favourite of the recent games. Not tried 6. I did like the storyline of 0 but gameplay just didn’t do it for me. Not a bad game by any means....
