Closer look on how the graphics got improve for upcoming Yakuza / Ryu Ga Gotoku PS4 remaster.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Don’t get me wrong; at the end of the day, this is still Yakuza Kiwami, and that means you can have a lot of fun with. I loved revisiting it, for instance. The great writing, characters, music, everything is here. But the Switch just isn’t the best place to enjoy this kind of game. From the unstable framerate to the short battery life, this immersive narrative brawler needs to be enjoyed on a big screen, with great visuals and framerate. Which you can do, if you play it on a PS4, PS5, or Xbox. As it stands, this Switch port is only recommended to die-hard fans of the franchise wanting to experience the game in a novel way. If this is your first rodeo with Yakuza, then play Kiwami elsewhere."
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama comments on Yakuza Kiwami Nintendo Switch sales and is very pleased.
One of my favorite series, ever. The Amazon Prime show is absolutely atrocious.
Even my wife pointed out the trailer for that either this morning or yesterday as she knows I like the games, but show looks like hot garbage from the trailer and I just know I'll regret every minute if I attempted to watch it.
Yea, I sort of want to finish it just because I started it, but it’s hard finding the motivation to keep going. It’s on the level of that Resident Evil live action show where it’s Wesker’s kids and the apocalypse happened.
I might be dumb, but do you know if there’s any way not to watch it dubbed? Like I love a lot of the voice actors in anime and games, but holy sh*t is it jarring listening to Nero overact as a live action person. Hell… I guess it doesn’t matter because I don’t think it’ll make the show any better. Real shame.
Fan of the Series, Action or RPG and I might get the Switch LRG Collection version.
Amazon's Like A Dragon: Yakuza is good in my opinion and can't wait to get the next episodes. Yes it's different, but if I wanted something so pure of the original take, I'd just play Kiwami or the original game on PS2.
I’ve not played it on the switch myself but I’d heard it was an awful port. Which is a shame because I thought it would be a nice fit on the console.
Couldn't get into the Yakuza series, even though it was a Shenmue clone. Surprised SEGA hasn't released a Shenmue trilogy, more so on the Switch. But all those Shenmue clones, it took years to finish off Shenmue with a 3rd game. Shenmue never even made it to the PS2, after SEGA ditched the Dreamcast. But out of the Yakuza series, I wanted to play Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan, which was never released in Europe. Rumours of a remake, which is pointless when you can knock it our as part of a collection or whatever consoles.
Andrew writes: "I’ve ended a lot of reviews of Switch ports over the years saying some variation of this may not be the best version of the game, but it’s worth your time if the Switch is your preferred platform. That’s not the case for Yakuza Kiwami. This version simply isn’t worth your time and it doesn’t matter whether you have another way to play the game or not. It isn’t just inferior; it feels terrible to play."
Very misleading article. Kiwami is cross-gen, thus the diferences will be MUCH smaller than this PS3 remaster used for comparison...
KAZUMA looks much younger in the ps3 version
They should just release a complete collection on ps4
