Just waiting for Shin and 7, at this point.
I wouldnt be so fast about Yakuza 3 at the very least, as it will likely contain all the other missions and content that was cut out of the original western release, course it may be the original one too.
That being said, this is GRAND news, especially for me who was explaining not that long ago I am more or less screwed on ever playing 5 because of the way it was released here, but low and behold, an announcement for Y3-5 on PS4 and we were just talking about this just a few weeks ago, CALLED IT.
At any rate we should wait for a western announcement although it does seem inevitable, I wonder which version of Y3 they may give us? Hopefully thats not a burden, or maybe they just re localize all 3 of these games again and start with a fresh translation, that could remedy it.
Its been getting Shenmue and Yakuza crazy lately huh?
That's a GOOD thing ;)
I think they'd do the full localisation, however the cut content is literally the ask x ask minigame (or whatever its called), 12 substories (think we discussed this a couple of years ago, you and I lol and I got the total wrong) and the hostess club, so its not a significant amount to add.
I've beaten 3, 3 times now and I just don't have the time in my life, at this point, to go through another 70+ hours, getting trophies and completing things as fully as possible; ESPECIALLY for 4, which is my second-least favourite title in the series and is a chore for me to play. 5 I would love to play for a third time, but that's a 125+ hour game and, again, I just don't have the time, with wedding planning, work, charity events (for work) etc.
Thus, I'll be content with 7 and Shin, when they do release

Is it worth getting a Pro if I mainly plan to just play Yakuza on a 1080p TV? I'll wait until the series is all out to see if they do a cool bundle but Pros don't look like they're dropping in price.
I upgraded to Pro for Yakuza 6, and obviously future games using the Dragon engine.
It bothered me playing the Prologue on a base PS4 with the slow down and screen tears.
I am either in bizzaro world or something, because the ONLY slowdown I experienced with 6, was the animation before the batting minigame. No screen tearing and its a stock, launch-day PS4.
Playing Kiwami 2, I had slowdown A BUNCH of times, but still no screen tearing, so I have no idea why I'm literally the only person on that planet that got away with it.

Maybe if they just kind of "import" the translation work from their original releases, though obviously Y3 would take a little more work than that.
They previously released HD remasters of Y1 and 2 on PS3, and those never made it over here. Granted, the series is more popular in the west now than it was back then, so the situation may have changed. But being that they're just re-releases of old games in a series that is, at best, only moderately popular in the grand scheme of things at the moment... I'm just not betting on it.
I'll be happy if they do get localized, of course, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
That being said, I really hope they do more for the graphics on these than just smoothing edges and making them run at 60 frames. Sotenbori in Y5, for example, is fucking fugly (yes, I'm aware I just said "fucking fucking ugly") because of the lighting, and how washed-out and sun-drenched the whole place is. It's friggin harsh as hell on the eyes in some places. They need to cut back on the bloom or... something.
I mean......yowch. I have to squint to look at that.
It's just weird, because the same city on Yakuza Zero looks beautiful. All the daytime scenes in Y0 do.
So hopefully they can manage that for these remasters.
And the Wii ;)
Sold like crap.
