Hard to believe that the Yakuza franchise is already celebrating its 10th year anniversary. It feels like just yesterday I eagerly awaited the first title to be released on the Playstation 2 and now we are here almost 10 years later looking at a trailer for the upcoming Playstation 4 and Playstation 3 remake.
SEGA plans to release the remake in Japan on January 21st, this release is set to feature additional and even updated scenes, new and update systems, new battle styles and new mini-games like “Insect Queen Female King”. Oh, did I mention you get the ability to fight Majima anywhere? No western release has been announced for this title yet, but we just got Yakuza 5 (go buy it!) and SEGA recently revealed they are bringing Yakuza 0 over.
Fun fact, Yakuza: Kiwami in Japan will come with a code with a demo of Yakuza 6.

Big graphical increase, though it seems modern games still just can’t quite get hair to be replicated realistically with todays processing power. Before it used to be water that was hardest to replicate but last gen managed to finally work around it it seems.
Best hair replication imo is still the Shenmue character introductions on the Shenmue passport which was entirely coded and processed by the Dreamcast.
