YAZUKA I & II to get an HD re-release on PS3?

A Sega release schedule appears to have outed an HD remake of the first two Yakuza games. Yakuza 1&2 HD Edition appeared briefly on the schedule, listed for PlayStation 3 release on December 1 at ¥5,229.

While the game is no longer visible on the schedule page, you can see a cached version here.

Sweet!  Chances for a Western release?  Slim, but here's hoping.  The music from 2 still goes through my mind from time to time...

I just replayed Yakuza 2 so I'm not really anticipating this.
Should SEGA release this on X360 and STEAM as well?

I highly doubt it. Yakuza might not get a release on the 360 for the same reason Mass Effect 1 was never ported over to the PS3.

I'd love it on PC, but that likely won't happen.

Yeah I doubt it would happen on PC.
I wonder if this would be Digital or a full retail release like Ico/SOTC, DMC and the like?


Either way, English release would seem likely considering that both games are already translated. Would just be a case of taking games and putting them onto a Blu-Ray. Hell, they could even just make the Japanese version include the English language options and make it the same game worldwide.

Well, MS published Mass Effect 1.

Sony did not publish Yakuza, so it's not exactly the same thing.

I can see SEGA putting it on Steam, but 360? After the promotional backing Sony gives SEGA in Japan for Yakuza, I doubt that it will be going anywhere near the 360 unless Sony has opted out of supporting future installments.

No, but I'm relatively sure they sank quite a bit of money into the games in exchange for exclusivity.

I wouldn't be surprised either way.

The PS3 seems to be getting a lot more of these HD collections than anything else though, so I'd assume it's exclusive.

A rumor no more...

It's now been officially confirmed via Andriasang.

I like how, not only is this a leak of information that hasn't been officially announced yet, but also somehow they got the issue of Famitsu prior to its official release too.   ;D  Must... find out... SOONER!!!
