That would be great, but I guess that will all depend on how well Kiwame sells. We know that 0 sold fairly well, so hopefully they do come over on the PS4. I'm tempted to just get a chaper PS3 soon and play through 5.

It actually doesn't matter as much how well Kiwami and 0 sell because this is a franchise that was made for and sold for the Japanese and Asian Market. The western market is often not even a factor for making these games,only after they've already been released.
To that end, I am expecting some sort of announcement this year for the games. Either a Yakuza 2 remake, or a port of all of them to the PS4.

That is very true on their target market for this series. I'd take Yakuza 2 remake any day over 3-5, I haven't played that since it released on PS2. From what they have done to Kiwame, a remake of Y2 would be awesome. Then they can re-release the rest on PS4.

I normally don't make jokes about games giving me sexual tension/feelings but a Yakuza 2 remake on the Dragon Engine....... well, that'd be the closest a game can possibly get for me.

The only other game in the series that's comparable in terms of characters,story and overall setpieces and gameplay is actually Yakuza 0.
And Yakuza 0 will win for a lot of people simply because the gameplay is much more refined. A Yakuza 2 remake is gonna tip the scales in the right direction.
Yakuza 0 has better and more fleshed out characters in general. Yakuza 2's setpieces are absolutely amazing, and the main villain is one of the best in gaming ever. Like EVER.
This fucking third Rush training fight. I keep trying to run around him, but Kiryu ends up getting snagged on a crowd member and taking a hit. This training line is not fun.
Edit: got it, no running this time, just blocking. My complaint about the training still stands though.

His not - There is absolutely no indication in any of the Yakuza titles that he is.
He takes great liberty in light consensual sex with multiple hostesses whenever there is an opportunity. He also has tremendous constraint when he feels like a deeper relationship is at stake (because of his every present involvement and association with the Tojo Clan).
See Y1 through Y6.
Obligatory (not Y1 through Y6)
that's the second round of those gifs in this thread. can you provide some instances of him getting it on with the hostesses?

This is as close Kiryu tends to get to women in his later years.
i don't understand, so it is possible that he is gay? if there's no direct indication of him being with a girl?

For Kiryu, finish the tax story substory which is unlocked after defeating the Electronics King to get the trouble finder. It marks the start locations of substories.
For Majima, I believe you have to finish the friendship gauge of the store right in front of his apartment to get that item, though I might not be remembering that right.
Since this seems to be a big issue for you, YAKUZA 2 SPOILERS
He makes out with a FEMALE love interest.
sleeps with about 6 different women.
He just chooses not to get romantically attached because of the baggage that he has i.e his Yakuza ties.
Ooh sheeeit
Love it.
God, Yakuza 3 had such high highs...
But dear lord were the lows super looooow

ah, thanks for clearing that up. after having been a fan of the series for so many years, it has been something that i wondered.

The character in Ishin and Kenzen is not Kiryu. The whole idea behind those games is that they can take existing character models and their archetypes and play them against expectations.
Also, Kiryu flat out tells someone in a 0 substory that he isn't gay.

Are there actual substories with the dates you can get through the Telephone Club? So far I've invited a girl for dancing and Karaoke but it's not clear if there are ever events that are supposed to come of it.

Whew, just finished the game (my first Yakuza). Now I'm pumped for Kiwami.

The sexy gravure videos. The women he's talking about have videos. So either you have to finish their substory or talk to them and finish their friendship gauge or in one particular scene in Kiryu's case, play a lot of pool and eventually beat her at it.

New Sexy Videos you can unlock via Substories.

It's literally each Yakuza title (including Dead Souls) post hostess game max affection cut-scene.
Much like with Zero's sexy calls scenario where Kaz appears in from of a hotel with a woman, in the other titles, hearts appear or a sound of great satisfaction.
Unfortunately, no elaborate cut scenes where hands connect with buttocks.
...Sadface.

Truly a relatable protagonist.
I managed to sell a friend on the series by telling him that this happens in Y6.

Gotta dodge that Cero Z rating
Indeed. We need more posts.
Wish there were more glasses available. SEGA is sitting on a goldmine of cosmetic DLC potential here.

Now... Just a thought: In addition to the standard release, how much more or less would a Z rating version sell in Japan?
Is it (the concept of both Yakuza titles) a bridge too far?

Not as low as all of Haruka chapters in Yakuza 5. lol.

You mean an uncensored version? Not a lot. Japanese developers tend to avoid Z rating like a plague. Koei Tecmo fought very hard to get Hokuto Musou and Berserk Musou down to D rating.
Here is a post from Nirolak that puts things in context
I genuinely can't explain why I enjoyed the Haruka section of Y5, given that I can't stand any of that Miku or idol stuff that's big in Japan. Probably helped that it came not long after Saejima's chapter dragged on for a little too long.

That, I can agree with.

hated it too! Never liked the whole idol thing...
it would have been so much better if kiryu taught haruka how to defend herself, and we would get this :
Long version (the music, kiryu and saejima cheering, god this is epic)
