Kenzan Kiwami Might Never Get A Remake, Says Developer

Yakuza Kenzan might never be remade and released globally. The developer says it's costly and might not stay true to its roots anymore.

Such a shame. Kenzan with 2022 tech would've been great. Hopefully something changes down the road.

neutralgamer1992564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

It will happen especially after the success of this remake. Also Yakuza dead souls with today's graphics and technology and update shooter controls would be awesome

Also would y mind some more fist of Northstar games and sequel to binary domain

As long as in English, just remaster is okay, no urgency for remake/kiwami,

I own the original. It wouldnt be a good move to bring it over. Its very dated. Id be more interested in a black panther remake.

neutralgamer19921158d ago

I think right now is the perfect time because Yakuza series has gained so much popularity over the past few years

isarai1158d ago

Sounds like he's at least looked into it.

neutralgamer19921158d ago

I really hope with all the recent success of this series we get these two games. Longtime series fans have been asking for a while now. Either remake of go back and tweak like EA is doing with ME remaster where they are upgrading the gameplay

Amplitude1158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

Same man. I've considered importing them soooo many times.

If a genie gave me one wish it would be to trade the existence of Dead Souls for these instead lol

brando0081158d ago

I picked up a copy of Ishin in Japan and played a few hours with an English guide. It's a really awesome game, and given the popularity of Yakuza in the West these past few years, I'm looking forward to a Western release.

no plans for these two games, yakuza destroyed with turn based combat. WTF? too much success for Yakuza?

PhoenixUp1699d ago

Hate when Japanese series treats western audiences like second class citizens

King_Noctis1699d ago

Why not? Afraid those games might sell more than they do in Japan?
