Yakuza Kiwami PS4

Description

“In 2005, a legend was born on the PlayStation 2 – the legend of Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, in his video game debut with Yakuza. Now, 11 years after that release, a new generation of players will be able to experience the incomparable action and drama of the Yakuza series with the rebuilt-from-scratch HD remake exclusive to PlayStation 4, Yakuza Kiwami.

“”Kiwami”” means Extreme, and the game takes that concept to heart. It’s not an HD-remaster or up-rezzing of PS2-era textures. Yakuza Kiwami was recreated from the ground up exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

That means every visual element was optimized for the 1080p/60fps environment. Every line of the script was re-recorded by series actors and for the first time in the West. Gamers will be able to hear the original Japanese language track.

Then there’s the game itself! The PS2-era brawling gameplay is refined for the current gen with Kazuma Kiryu fighting his way through the ranks of Yakuza, only to wind up protecting a young girl whose aunt (and who happens to be Kiryu’s childhood sweetheart) is missing…along with 10 billion yen.

Yakuza Kiwami PS4 Features

• Back to the Roots of the Yakuza Series. Kiwami adds nearly 30 minutes of cutscenes alone, providing all-new insight into the game’s plot. There’s also added distractions (Pocket Circuit car racing, MesuKing: Battle Bug Beauties, new hostesses, and more), side quests and combat updates to bring the original Yakuza game up to date.
• Great Starting Place For Newcomers. Newcomers or those whose Yakuza experience started with Yakuza 0 will have familiar, exacting controls, top-notch SEGA localization. Also a solid starting point for entering the Yakuza franchise fresh. Veterans will experience a familiar Kamurocho and plot, but with new levels of story depth and graphical polish.
• Majima Everywhere. Completely new to Kiwami is the “Majima Everywhere” system, where the series’ deranged. One-eyed maniac will constantly surprise and challenge Kiryu to combat when he least expects it. We’re talking “popping out of a goofy costume” levels of surprise, so players must stay on their toes and be ready to defend themselves from Kiryu’s chief rival.
• Extreme Revitalization. Kiwami is rebuilt from the ground up with all new HD assets, exclusive Japanese voice re-recorded by the series cast. Lastly, optimized for the PlayStation 4 and running in 1080p/60fps.”
