Yeah, Yakuza: Dead Souls is very loud and very dumb, but sometimes that's exactly what you really need.
RGG Studio, the developers behind Yakuza and Judgment, have blown up recently, but should their older, obscure games be given a second chance?
Absolutely, especially ishin and kenzan. I also played the kurohyou psp game that was translated recently and had a blast. Now i want more of it but sadly the 2nd one isnt translated. Maybe RGG studio could port it to some kind of HD collection? Would be cool
The kurohyou 2 fan translation is coming january 7th!!

Yakuza Ishin and Kenzan should totally get a remaster/port for modern consoles with a western localization. Dead Souls I'm more on the fence. I had fun with that game. But it's undoubtedly far below the franchise standard.
There was an interview where they mentioned they are giving it a second thought just because Ghost of Tsushima did so well, previously they were not convinced those games would find an audience in the west.
Personally I would love it if they ported these over.
YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared two videos, showing Gran Turismo HD Concept and Yakuza: Dead Souls running on the PC thanks to the best PS3 emulator, RPCS3. While emulation is not perfect yet, these two titles can be described as a bit playable at this point.
In time....I remember back in mid 2000's the ps2 emulator hardly ran anything, and now it runs 90% of the games.
Twinfinite Writes: The Yakuza series is known for its over-the-top violence, just as much as it is for its quirky sense of humor. With Yakuza 6: The Song of Life just around the corner, we take a look at how the rest of the series stacks up.
Missing Ishin, Kenzan, and other releases. Seems like the author doesn't like the old games as much as the new games.
One of the most underappreciated gaming series ever. Ever single game I've played since the original on the PS2 has been an amazing experience.
I've yet to play one yet, but after watching a video of a street fight that felt like something out of Jojo... I don't know... I might have to give it a try.
Mine(of the four I have played)
Tie for number 1
Yakuza Ishin and Yakuza 0...Both are masterpieces and Ishin should be imported by any fan, there are plenty of guides for it.
Tied for 3
Kiwami and Six
Both are good games and if they had any other title other than "Yakuza" they would be great games.
Agreed about Ishin, I imported it and loved it. Currently playing through Hokuto but the guides aren't done yet so it's a bit harder than Ishin was.
It's the best zombie game I played with a very mutual serious tone story that does not take itself to a serious if that makes sense
I highly recommend you play this game I just wish they would update the controls because the controls are just kind of weird. But you get used to it after a few hours
Very fun game. I would love a sequel. The first person controls were hard at first, but once you learn the trick to quick aim, its cake. Another overlooked classic.
Get to the Top sang by Majima is alone a reason to play this hidden gem.
This game was garbage, no I’m not talking about the story or whatever I mean the core gameplay it was absolute rubbish.
