Yakuza Kiwami 2 for PC has been rated by the ESRB

Yeees, I need this now. So glad I held of on buying the PS4 version.
I sure hope so. Getting Kiwami 2 means they got the dragon engine working on PC too, so Judgment may be next (if the whole actor getting caught with cocaine thing blows over).
Only possibility I see of a problem with Judgment, is Sega doesn't want the old character patched back in (and you can bet PC modders will figure that out sooner rather than later), and spitefully never port it. Hoping that won't be the case, so that we can get it on PC (60+FPS and hopefully a fix for some of those pop in issues? I'll triple dip for sure).
His likeness and voice are being removed from the localization anyway, so it's not really a factor.
Ah, is that confirmed? Haven't been following it that closely.
Yep, they're removing his likeness from the game. It hasn't been specified to what degree he's going to be removed (just audio + face, or the entire Mo-cap performance) but he is being removed.
The localization team's been working extra hard ever since to ensure that they can still meet the release date while still passing all the QA requirements. Massive props to those hard working folks.
Ah, I see. Nice to see they're dedicated to releasing this game in the west.
How are the minigames and sidequests in this one? Comparable to Y0 in amount and quality? Kiwami 1 was pretty lackluster in that department. I know Cabaret Club is back at least, so that already makes it better than Kiwami 1 :p.
Kiwami 2 has a full arcade. So that makes it way better. UFO Catcher is back (it was absent in 6), Virtual On is included (which rocks), Virtua Fighter 2 and... the toylet mini game is in (which is so very Japanese).
holyyyyy. This is great, I'll be bothering you again in the future!
Man, I need that 60fps.
I fell in love with the series on PS4 with Yakuza 0, but I haven't brought myself to try YK2 on PS4 because the 30fps framerate is just hard for me as a PC-centric guy.
I would kill for an official release date from Sega soon. But I wonder if this is supposed to be a PCGamer E3 show reveal, instead.

I keep checking back in on each new post hoping that a preorder has become available along with a release date :(
I hate UFO Catcher, but I can forgive it since VF2 is also there. Preorders can't be open soon enough.
Day one. Been holding out for the PC version for this and 6 for that 60fps experience... Any word on 6 anyway?
Sort of. Needless to say, 6 didn't actually release on PC in April 2018, but, at this point, a PC version being on the cards is a safe bet.

I totally forgot about this! I've wished for PC ports of a number of Sega arcade games for a while. This is 3 games in one for me as I love both VF2 and Virtual On, I would have bought them seperately, no question.
Yo this is mad hype but Sega plz don't do this yet. I'm just starting to dive into Yakuza 0. Then I gotta hit up Yakuza Kiwami after that. I don't know if I can handle a Yakuza triple marathon uninterrupted.
Technically it'd be a four game marathon cause I beat Fist of the North Star: Paradise Lost before I started Yakuza 0.
It was an unlocked framerate but usually 30 FPS with screen tear and other things.
Stable 30 fps for all Dragon Engine games (Kiwami 2, Yakuza 6 and Judgment)
thats on you though, its been almost a year since 0, and what assume no sooner than e3, atleast 4 to 5 months since kawamie?
Depends, Yakuza Kiwami showed up in June 2018 on Steam, but didn't get sold until 2019 in the end ;) Hopefully they're not doing it too early before release this time.
Should be 60+, Would be odd for Kiwami 2 to be 30 when 0 and Kiwami are 60.
my only hope is they fix the qte bug, other than that it was a near flawless port.
I don't see the games being capped at 30FPS unless they did something silly like having the physics tied to the 30FPS frame rate in the console versions. The team see the value of getting the games in 60FPS whenever possible (all the ports to newer systems) so the only thing I guess might be a problem again is the UFO Catcher - its the only thing I've found in Yakuza 4 that's still 30FPS, even fishing from 3's remaster was fixed in 4 to run at 60FPS now.
Kiwami PC didn't go up on ESRB until months after it was announced. Not the same situation.
Doubt it. Im expecting Persona 5 and Shin Sakura Taisen this year.
