Personally, 0 is still by far the best to me, even with it being on the older engine. But K2 is very good, and definitely near the top.
Yes. The original Yakuza 2 was the best entry in the series, and this is a faithful remake with all the bells and whistles that come with that. But the entire series is fantastic, so I recommend you don't just play one entry.
0 is the best. This is second.
Probably once Sega starts to release the PC version day-and-date with the console release or when it's just a slightly delayed port like Monster Hunter or FFXV.What is going on here? When is Sega going to start releasing these at $60? Not that I'm complaining.

That's how I'm picturing things happening now. Wasn't sure until I saw they went with Kiwami 2 ahead of the rumoured 6 port that was briefly leaked/hinted last year. Just makes way more sense to do the games all in order. I do still wonder when they'll get released though (as a late release this year might bury them, and if they'll release all three as one pack, or separately. And if as a pack, that'd be nuts as there would be a good 300+ hours of content in there easy!)Honestly would not be shocked if Yakuza 3,4,5 Remasters came out on PC day and date, followed by a port of 6. It would explain why they haven't announced it for the west yet and why we got Kiwami 2 before 6.

For sure. I see 6 happening, and really the only reason why I don't put "sooner than you think" on the end of my sentence is that I think they'll do 3-5 first so people can experience Kiryu and Haruka's story properly and not out of order. Its really nice to see Sega seemingly go all in with the series on PC, the more sales the better (plus it'll be nice having definitive versions that are timeless, and not tied to one console, I must own each game about 3x each now!)Yakuza Kiwami 2 went up on SteamDB on August 17th. Before it came out on PS4 and only a few weeks after 0 PC. I'm starting to think that Yakuza 6 PC listing wasn't an error at all like people thought. Seems like SEGA has been planning this all out for months now.
Ah those stealthy SEGA EU Coding ninjas and top secret projects codenames.I bought here and received a key for "Lotusflower Pre-Purchase (RoW)". Hoping that's just a code name.
I wonder if they plan to release PCs in chronological order now, and when they eventually get to 6, it will be in time for a remaster of 6 itself :P. Pipe dream of course.
I think it arguably is tbh. Definitely top 3 material without questions anyway.
Agreed, and it's the only thing keeping me from preordering right now and waiting for performance reviews. I have a 5820K and 980TI so I'd hope to be ok at 1080P. Hopefully the VRAM hit isn't too bad .Those system requirements are really steep though. Here's hoping my poor ancient i7-3820 and 1060 can handle this at medium, 60fps
Those requirements seem too high, the game is not exactly a looker if you compared it to preavious Yakuza games, it's better yeah, but not so much to justify such a jump in the requirements section.
Yeah I know, I played it, but those requirements still seem too high to me.Well, aside from looking far better than the previous games, you've also gotta consider the engine is switched up quite a bit - no loading between accessing areas (bar switching cities and some mini games), proper physics operating outside of fights now (so everything isn't glued to the floor), much better texturing and lighting. Granted, its probably nothing close to something truly impressive on PC like Star Citizen, but its a pretty big upgrade in many areas compared to the previous games.
Have you played 0?
I did, and liked it so much that I immediately bought Kiwami 1... and then I forgot about it.
Oh, great! and... oh, not so great!I did, and liked it so much that I immediately bought Kiwami 1... and then I forgot about it.
So, anyone one Era wants to help me decide what new machine I need to get this running at 60FPS? As that's my next goal (its been long overdue anyway).
So, lets start talking mods - music mods specifically. How many minutes will it take for us to get a PS2 music mod? At least for the Crazy Ken stuff but the soundtracks are quite different this go around in places so one that puts the boss/fight music back as it was will most likely take a little longer.
Yup, that's the plan. I'm not in a rush to get anything yet, I'll be waiting to see how the game performs first to get a better idea of my needs. But I'll probably aim for something over specs as well to give me breathing room (plus that should help with emulation I plan on running on the machine.Hey Shadow, wait for people to test it out first and see how their PCs are performing. As this is the first time a dragon engine game is on PC, it could well be different to the older Zero engine. The dragon engine struggled on PS4 honestly, so I'd just wait and see how people fare first. You don't want to get something only to find out it doesn't perform as well as you'd hoped.
The steam page does have 'recommended' specs (of a GTX 1070), but publishers have overstated these sometimes (and understated on other occasions) so really its just best to wait and see. Usually there's a PC performance thread for the game, otherwise people will definitely discuss the performance in the OT.
I got a RX580 OC, Ryzen 5 2600 and 16gb of RAM. Surely I'll be able to 1080p60fps this, right ?

Not without reduced settings, at least. The system requirements on the Steam Store page list a 1070/Vega 56 for "60fps @ 1080p @ High" (to paraphrase).

MHW's High Resolution texture pack also "requires" a 1070/Vega 56 for minimum specs, but only because these cards have 8gb of VRAM. Weaker cards like the 580 and GTX 1060 run it conpletely fine. Very possible this is the same situation here.
The 580 also has 8gb of VRAM and should be completely fine here.
It's possible, but I wouldn't say it's likely. Kiwami 2 is a fully current-gen game, after all, whereas 1 is just a remaster of the original PS3 release.
Well yeah obviously, if a game is recommending 8gb of VRAM it's definitely no PS3 game.
JaseC, I'm hoping there will be a PC performance thread for this game, will you be making it?
There's definitely a bit of interest in the Yakuza community on this release seeing its the first dragon engine game on PC.
Yeah. I felt the PC OTs covered Zero and Kiwami 1 well enough as they're just re-remasters and have relatively low requirements, but K2 is a port of a proper current-gen game, so I'll be making a thread.
:(Just bumping this to say that I'll no longer be making a PC performance thread.
I like Zero better so far but it's definitely better than Kiwami 1.
