It's been an amazing week for the underrated Yakuza series, with Yakuza 5 launching on the PlayStation 3, Yakuza Zero being announced for Western release, Yakuza 6 landing its first trailer… And now Yakuza: Kiwami, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remake of Yakuza, scoring an eight minute story trailer. Are you keeping up?
The clip for the forthcoming remake sets up the story, which will already be familiar to fans of the franchise. It's not a direct up-res of the PlayStation 2 game, though, as the visuals have been completely re-done, and new mechanics and minigames have been incorporated. Plus, those that pick up the package on 21st January in Japan will nab a PS4 demo for Yakuza 6. Hai!

I really need to play this series.
Yakuza, the Call of Duty of the east.
I still want that 1&2 collection game that's on PS3 and Wii U. That would be nice to have.
@sub12 Haha, basically. Except it's probably worse - maybe the Assassin's Creed of the East?
Still haven't finished Yakuza 4 (the only one I have, from PS plus) but it's a very fun game indeed! I will finish it next week on my christmas break
