Rumour: Yakuza 3's PS4 Remaster Seemingly Set for Gamescom 2019

Nice. Still have to buy Yakuza 2 and I'm currently playing Judgement so I can wait without a problem!

This was my first Yakuza game back on the ol' PS3. I'm looking forward to playing it again.

How about Yakuza 3-5 remaster collection. Not just one at a time....

As much as I been wanting part 3 to get announced for a while now,if this releases in November,I will scream my head off !!! That month is already overstuffed,and needing some games to move to a different month. Its possibly the most overstuffed November in videogame history. It seems every other day a game gets announced for November. September,October ,December,January ,would be nice for yakuza 3.

@KnightWolf They didn't do that for Japan,I highly doubt the rest of the world would get that honor.

Plus it would make sense for all 3 of those,3-4-5- remasters ,to be out before that yakuza reboot that Sega is working on.

I expected sega to release all 3 remasters together as a bundle in the west. I almost finished yakuza 3 on ps3, I’m currently at the end of chapter 10. The game is a blast!

@hulkie
I thought japan had that collection ? Oh well guess i'll wait then.

Would much prefer it if SEGA did a remastered collection as opposed to releasing them one by one.

@hulkie not a reboot, it's a continuation with a new protagonist.

I just want a physical of Yakuza 5 to finish the collection, given we only got that digitally in the west.

Platinumed Zero, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, and Six. Currently playing Judgment.

I do hope 3, 4, and 5 make it to PS4 so I can have the Platinum set.

In another note, Judgment is brilliant so far, the story is excellent. Slightly miss Kiryu and Majima but I can look past that.

@ZeroAbbadon reboots can be sequels too. They are rebooting the story with a new character within the same universe as the previous games.

@KnightWolf Since Japan has gotten 3 SEPERATE versions of 3,4,5 I don't want that. especially since they can NOT charge 60$ for 3 games if they DON'T want the Japanese to get pissed at us Americans since they had to pay $40 a game

@darkswabber "In serial fiction, a reboot is a new start to an established fictional universe, work, or series that discards all continuity to re-create its characters, plotlines and backstory from the beginning."

The next Yakuza game is not this, it is a new game, following a new protagonist set in the same world. It doesn't seek to retell or recreate events already depicted in previous entries and will exist as a continuation of the events of the previous games. I suppose there is an argument to be made that it will be a soft reboot but I think there will be enough in it that you would only understand had you played the prior games that calling it a soft reboot would only loosely apply.

Great news. I haven't actually played any Yakuza yet, but from what I've heard they're probably my kind of game. Zero is somewhere in my backlog, I'll give it a go eventually.

That is rad indeed.

I will be cautiously optimistic until this is confirmed. But it is nice to finally hear that Yakuza 3-5 may finally come to PS4 in the west (without PSNow).

FWIW the entry for Yakuza 3 on the Rocket Beans schedule has been changed to an unnamed "Atlus-Spiel"; while the localisation team who worked on the PS4 Yakuza games are formally part of Atlus USA (Atlus being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sega in any case), the games so far have been published without the Atlus brand.

Really wish they would release the remasters of 3-5 physical and together so they can all sit on my shelf.

"SEGA looks set to sustain its one release per year schedule"
But we got both 0 and Kiwami in 2017, with 6 and Kiwami 2 in 2018?

How about localizations of Kenzan and Ishin?

And no Yakuza 3 shown 😔 I want to bridge the gap of 2-6 without investing in lesser PS3 copies...
