Not that confusing, tbh. The numbered series, other than 0, is pretty self explanatory.

Ishin = Samurai era Yakuza. (Not released in west.)
0 = Prequel to series. (Coming this year to west.)
Kiwami = Remake of first game. (Just released in Japan.)

Anyone played dead souls? Bought it a while back, but unplayed.

I haven't played it but it's a shooter with tank controls. (Not 100% certain on controls.) You cannot do much exploration at first but the city becomes explorable after a while. Oh and, the story isn't canon. :P
It's also seen as the game responsible (due to it selling all of 60k in Europe or US) for Sega putting a halt to regular Yakuza releases in west up until last year.
You've paid for it. Might as well play it. Fans of series on here say it's not brilliant but worth playing if you're into the series.

Just picked up Y4 in CEX for £6. Way I see it, by the time I have cleared a bit more of my back log and this, Yakuza 5 will be on sale on PSN.

Yakuza 0 possibly coming out next year?

Someone on GAF wrote:It's Thursday morning in Japan, meaning that Famitsu is now broadly available. I grabbed it on my way to work and it has a feature on a the Yakuza series with a Nagoshi interview and a snippet about overseas release that says that Yakuza 0 is being prepped up for a 2017 release in North America.

I always thought it'd come out this year but looks like that won't happen, sadly.


Still no European confirmation.

Early 2017 will do me just fine, but confirmation of 6 would also be nice.

Just in the middle of yakuza 5 right now - what a wonderfully varied game it is and the best in the series so far imo!

It would also be nice to get kiwami in the uk too. As for the lack of a european release date for 0, there really are no issues with the ps4 being region free!

Yakuza 5 is now £19.99 on UK PSN. Literally no excuse to not buy it now!

I bought dead souls on release it was great fun, really guilty to not have bought 5 yet but the funds are just too tight for it .

Still have to unwrap Dead Souls and will likely play it sometime in between Yakuza 5 and Yakuza 0. I hear its not the best of games, but to me more Yakuza is only a good thing!

As expected and just as satisfying! Still have quite a bit of Yakuza 5 to play and then on to Dead Souls, so I am ok with a 2017 release, but do worry for Yakuza 6's release (which I hope materialises!).

I guess we should thank Sega for this at least, so thankyou.

Back to this and on chapter 4. Bit of a refreshing change and looking forward to completing this over the next few weeks. I've done a good number of the side quests, yet am under 20% done, so must have missed a lot.

Don't want to post any spoilers, but this game has introduced many elements and characters and is the best yakuza to date. I wonder how yakuza 0 compares.

Yakuza 5 is currently free for ps plus subscribers, so please get it downloaded and played! Nearing the end myself.

Does it still work if you got it while it was free?

It's available for me to download if I view the games page on the PS Store so will work fine.
