If we get the remakes of the first games too, I might actually get into this series.

Sheesh, if you want manly men, you've been looking in all the wrong places.
Then help us to get the remake by buying Y5 and Y0.
chronologically Yakuza 0 is the most recent game in the series. The next game, 6, has not come out in Japan.
in terms of fitting into the story, it takes place before each individual game's "present" but several games have flashbacks to events which precede Yakuza 0.
I'd love to have Y0 on PS3. my PS3 is basically a Yakuza box anyway.

Gio Corsi, my new god. Loved him already for Yakuza 5 and Zero is just the best. Hope they will also port the announced remake.
Not going to happen, don't even get your hopes up. It's crazy we got 5 and now Zero.

The Remake is going to fix the main issue with the game - namely the combat. While I really enjoy the first game its got issues with the combat (lock on, and the camera) and the combat has become far more refined as the series goes on. The remake is basically taking the combat from Yakuza 0 (including the different styles) so that's one enormous plus.
Its also getting far more content either entirely brand new, or stuff that has been in past games that was never originally in Yakuza 1 - stuff like minigames such as Shogi/Mah Jong or Karaoke etc.
Basically I imagine the Remake will make Yakuza 1 (HD) redundant. Now I just need the second game to get remade in the newer game engine!

Having 0 is a miracle already, Ishin is just impossible.

Ok so now that we get a localized PS4 Yakuza I don't have to buy Y5 on PS3 anymore, right?
If you like beat em up combat and crime stories with light RPG mechanics, I can't see anyway you wouldn't like the series.

I've never played a Yakuza game before but this looks rad. Combat looks fun and this looks like a basically exaggerated idealized version of what Yakuza are like. Sweet.
I don't have a PS4 so I'll just grab Yakuza 5 and wait for a PC release of 0 or something. Or maybe just wait until I get a PS4 many years down the line. Whichever comes first.

if you want to not play a good yakuza game?
I got in at 4 and was fine. They have a little theater setting that gives a good rundown of previous games. Y4 is one of my favorite games ever.

lol 2 of those games aren't even out in japan yet and Ishin will never be localized

I am well aware of that, but making them aware of our wanting them doesn't hurt.
money talks!

Why do you think Ishin would never be localised, btw? Too steeped in historical Japan?
As you say the other two aren't even out in Japan yet, so maybe an announcement for them next year, either one, would be too soon. Surely Ishin is the more likely candidate?

i was actually thinking of Kenzan, but i do get the impression that the team localizing these games is fairly small. by the time 0 is released, i think it's likely that either 1E or 6 will be out in japan (dunno which is next, lol) and considering that kenzan never made it over, either of those would get precedence.
i've remained optimistic about yakuza's future in the west even during shitty times like when sega of america all but dissolved earlier this year, but i still can't see ishin make it over when there are mainline entries which can be localized instead.

damn, tempting but honestly with today's news i wonder if we should focus efforts on when 6 drops in JP?
I've imported Yakuza games for a while now but I stood back with 0, for some reason I was confident it was coming over. Glad I waited
Samurai Jack is getting revived too.
This is the year of dreams, I fear what next year will be now, the universe must balance itself out somehow.

Very unlikely Yakuza 5 will be on PS4 any time soon.

I've always had my eye on this series, but the treatment it has gotten from Sega USA in the past has made me cautious to jump in.
I know this is pretty man-tacular.
I'm considering it now, particularly now that 0 was announced. If they confirm the remakes, I'll definitely give it a shot.
Yes, I think Yakuza 0 would have to bomb terribly for Yakuza 6 to not make it over.
I'm gonna do my part in making sure that doesn't happen.

Give it now. Cmon, you know you want it.
But seriously, I guess they will try to bring Kiwami (Yakuza 1 remake) and Yakuza 6 eventually, but I wouldn't expect them until 2017. That is, if Y5 and Y0 aren't complete bombs. Y5, I think they won't expect much, but they do have a better chance in Y0 and, if it sells well, it should start closing the gap between japanese and american release.
Doesn't PS Now let you stream PS3 games to PS4? If that's possible I don't see why they can't put PS3 games up on the store to play on PS4.

If stuff like Putty Squad, The Last Tinker and Giana Sisters can get a physical release on PS4 then there is definitely hope for this. I really hope so anyway.
