Yakuza's followers have just received a special gift. In its day, Sega's policy of distribution was poorly understood in the West, perhaps because those who believed did not believe that its mainly Japanese content could succeed overseas. However, years later, Yakuza 0 marked the start of a series of new releases, reminiscences and reminiscences that have so far ended with a beautiful package that covers the third, fourth and fifth Franchise episodes. Like the chicken, the set features a separate Yakuza 5 cover that may have been its original PlayStation 3 design, since the title has never been released on disk yet. This fact underscores Sega's intention to re-assemble the entire series under one roof so that we can honor Dano's legacy.
But what can you expect from chapters three through five? Yakuza Kiwami Games 1 and 2 were the talking points that were needed because the original (from PlayStation 2) no longer meets today's technical standards. However, in PS3-era games, observers consider that it is enough to create a regenerated hole, so things can be highlighted by better resolution (1080p) and higher frame rate per second (60 fps). With Yakuza 3, the reality is that the plan doesn't work well and the other drawings aren't that complicated. The images are vivid and bizarre and there is a very poor quality of text that interferes uncomfortably with our entire visual category. This detail is particularly intriguing, since some of the most popular costumes by the characters, such as the Hawaiian coat of arms Kazuma Kiryu or the leather jacket of his beloved enemy Goro Majima, attract a lot of attention and not a good idea. With subsequent installations, those same outfits look even better and we were very upset that this quality doesn't last in every game.
It is clear that, being a pure and difficult reminder, you have to face the fact that technology is not very old. What exactly is a retention of a certain level of nostalgia and offers the opportunity to play this modern comforting content; The Yakuza Remastered Collection certainly achieves these two goals. Fans of the franchise already know that the story centers on the fate of Kazuma Kiryu, who (more or less politely) becomes the leader of the powerful nation of Tojo, who does his sensible business in the entertainment district from Tokyo. Players will find a seemingly endless cinematic sequence and dialogue; Sea & # 39; s Ryu-Ga-Gotoku Studio is on the heels of personalities such as Hideo Kojima and the House Brothers when it comes to the number of text lines in their games. So, it is very helpful to have some affinity for the Japanese mafia news, but if it is not for your style, the sequence can be skipped or accelerated if you prefer.
As for the game plan, the Yakuza series is made up of structured combinations where you can boost your characters and equip them with new movements. You can try many different fighting styles in this redesigned collection because, with the exception of Kiryu, there are more playable characters in the four and five giveaways. In addition to these large, very impressive and overcrowded testosterone stadiums, there are countless little machines and mini-games that often differ in the fun and friendly and complicated reality of the Mafia business.
An example of this is at the Club Sega hobby, where we can find high quality Virtua Fighter 2 types and, in Yakuza 5 only, the Taiko No Tatsujin music game. In addition, there are many interviews with multiple choice answers, sometimes, which provide clues that can change your life, and mini-games with easy controls. There are also some administrative resources where you have to use a night club or train martial artists for a tournament.
Most notable is probably the taxi company where Kiryu operates on Yakuza 5. Where, on the other hand, there are standard taxi machines, which are the pre-game Sega Crazy Taxi game. Instead of going through the city in an unstoppable and chaotic way, here you have to call with full service, stop at traffic lights, drive around where you will turn around and enjoy the passengers with the oddest conversations yet. However, when things get tough during this time of work, you can let out steam in races where you can get upgrades to your taxi at various locations and make your enemies bite you in the usual traffic, such as Tokyo Xtreme Race 2; all while listening to classic Sega racing games like OutRun or Daytona USA.
Most of these games are optional, but even if you only do major campaigns, you'll need 80 hours to spend all parts of this collection. Platinic trophy hunters will surely be busy for 200 hours or more! That being said, the price you pay for the game makes a lot of sense, and players who have ever seen the Yakuza Saga for PS3 will get new features. In its day, part of the content was considered critical and tested when it was delivered. For example, tasks such as dressing up for cabaret or minigame girls in a laundry room where some kind of special service was involved were eventually eliminated. These issues may be especially tasty, but getting rid of them is so disparaging that it almost violates chastity. Though we mourn her absence before, now the content is gone. Included are the Japanese shogi and Mahjong board games and, in addition, there are subtitles for Japanese karaoke songs that you play in the associated minigame while pressing buttons on the rhythm of the music.
By the way, we have to say that the three-level voice is only available in Japanese, so most will have to read many subtitles if they want to follow the story properly.
For people who have never played Yakuza and now want to know, we do not recommend that they start with this collection, but rather play the series in sequence: Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2, Yakuza Remastered 3, 4 and 5, Yakuza 0 and, finally, Yakuza 6. In our opinion, this is will follow this story in the best possible way. On the other hand, it is also not a bad idea to play something different after finishing each Yakuza; otherwise, you'll feel the same feeling as if you were watching a James Bond movie every night. In any case, the Yakuza Remastered Collection offers a lot of content for what it costs and we consider it the right price. For this, we thank Sega for his efforts and look forward to areas of updated versions of spin-offs such as Yakuza Kenzan or this zombie full of Dead Souls.
