Always wanted to get into the Yakuza series, this seems like it will be the perfect place for me to start. I'll wait till it drops in price a bit before I pick it up but I look forward to giving it a go at some point this year

You can then get ready for
Yakuza Kiwami, which is a remake of the original Yakuza game, and due for a Summer 2017 release. And then, in early 2018,
we'll also be getting Yakuza 6.

Very cool, are they going to be releasing 2,3,4 and 5 on PS4 as well? Be good to have the whole series on 1 system

No word on that, no. No such Japanese release, anyway.

I would say there is a good chance of 2 being remade but not 3,4 & 5 or at least not this generation. I can understand it being annoying that you can't get them all for one system, hopefully Playstation Now will improve and add the PS3 era titles. I wouldn't mind seeing the PSP games (only 2 of them) being ported to PSN as well.

It's my favourite one to date, and that's saying something.

:hype:
Got it pre-ordered from Amazon. Hopefully they deliver early like they did with last GoT boxset but I'm not holding my breath on that.

Hmm...
I've been keeping an eye on this and it looks pretty good. Is it the first Yakuza game of the series?
Tempting to buy it.

I think Yakuza 0 tells the first story of two of the primary characters in the series. The first Yakuza game however will be getting re-released later this year in the form of the Yakuza Kiwami remake. (Also to be released in the west on PS4.)
BOR, buy it. I swear you'll love it. Yakuza games are like a modern take on Streets of Rage, but with tonnes more stuff to see and do, and a far more intricate and satisfying combat system.

As it has already been out in Japan for two years as well, there have been plenty of comments saying that while the series is intricately tied together with each instalment, you can absolutely start at 0 as it's at the beginning of the timeline.

I may just pick it up for cheap a few weeks post launch. Theres just too many great games out on the ps4 this quarter.

I know this is set really early on timeline wise, but Akiyama looks so young o_o

Really hope they redo Yakuza 2 as well. One of those games I meant to pick up for years but the price has got silly lately.

Those review scores have me extremely tempted, though I didn't get on particularly well with Yakuza 3, probably take a punt when it's cheaper.....

Really happy and not at all surprised to see such high scores. Glad to see the marketing for 0 being executed in such a good way (e.g YouTubers and reviewers receiving copies ages in advance to properly play and get people excited about the game). Here's to more Yakuza releases outside Asia!

Metro gave it an 8, and it got a
Recommended award from EuroGamer. (a review written by our very own Rudderless!)
