Why We NEED a Kiwami 3

Yakuza 3 is not a bad game, but it most certainly could be better. Realistically, the only way to do that would be to take the good things from it, like the music, the characters, and the story, and smack it over the head with all the beautiful things from the modern Yakuza games. And also remove that first Tamashiro boss fight from existence thanks.

I know people will see the title and thumbnail and will decide to comment before watching even the first 10 seconds of the video and to those people: Throughout this video I explain why a great game deserves to become amazing. I say how Yakuza 3 is unfortunately met with some high expectations compared to later games, but I also say how that doesn't at all prevent the game from still being fun. Not at any point throughout this entire video do I say something like "Yakuza 3 sucks dick". No. Not at all. Not even remotely. I promise.

I am replying to show that I have read your comment, and decided to leave why I believe we need a Kiwami 3 and then I''ll watch the video to see if you agree. I feel like we need a Kiwami 3, only so that people who were turned off the series because of 3's jankiness can continue the great series.

Yakuza 4 is leagues ahead of 3, crazy how there's only a year between the 2 entries. It's so much more polished and fun, that it would benefit much less from a remake. Not to mention the biggest issue there is the story, they won't rewrite that.

[@Maloolz]

And then after 4 Kiwami, Yakuza 5 will be too dated. It's a continuous cycle, which is why I don't join the people who constantly say "YOU NEED TO REMAKE X GAME". How bout' we just make new games???

[@sandorbence2067]

This came from RGG1 and 2 off of the PS2, they're actually in the same spot as far as I remember so people coming from there just know to go there. But what changes was the item box being available in the phone booths - it used to be exclusively a save point, and you literally have to go to an item box to store your stuff.

[@Judgment_Kazzy]

I personally really like Yakuza 3. It's not the strongest in the series but I really enjoy it nonetheless. I really like that Kiryu tries to leave his Yakuza past behind and to see that he just wants to live a normal life with the kids. He also seems so much happier in Yakuza 3, especially in comparison to Yakuza 5 where he is most of the time sad and wishes to return to his past life. I think for his character development Yakuza 3 is probably the strongest and most important game. Most problems, like the blocking and few moves at the start, could probably easily be fixed in Kiwami 3. The biggest problem is probably that you play it directly after Kiwami 2, which is one of the latest in terms of graphics and gameplay.

[@Derglesnaf]

I think there’s a good chance it’s happening. The RGG Facebook page is posting ALOT of Yakuza 3 images after announcing the Summit on the 20th

[@ViciousDeliciousIV]

Good argument for yakuza Kiwami 3. Mine would have been, "Just cause, please"

[@NightmareSnake]

I don't think I would want to see Kiwami 3 over literally anything else, but especially Kenzan. Kiwami 1 and 2 make sense to me, because those were games that were stuck in the PS2 graphics era and using Kiryu's old face. But it seems redundant to actually remake any of the games that got remasters. To me those games look and play good enough as they are. Ishin gets a pass because of its lack of a localization, and Kenzan would get the same pass.

One of the biggest things Kiwami 3 needs to do besides removing the memes of Blockuza and too much exposition from 'the scene' is definitely making Rikiya's side story just a part of the main story. The fact you can miss out on an important part of his character and not know until you've already finished is really stupid.

Id hope if they add any bonus content it would be that Rikiya would take his shirt off to show his updated tattoo. It was such a let down that you didn’t get to see it in combat in the end

The best reason why kiwami 3 needs a remake: cabaret club minigame. The thing that disappointed me even more than the combat was the carabet club minigame, i saw it and thought "omg so this is where 0 got it from" but i was so, so wrong.

Firstly, good video. Secondly, I don't hate the concept of remaking games. But thirdly, as more time passes I think I'm just tired of constant remakes for games, especially when I just don't think it's necessary. I don't love Yakuza 3 and I don't think it needs one. Yes it has issues, but if you're getting into the franchise, even after playing 0 and the remakes, adjusting to the game even just to see the story continue isn't like pulling teeth. It is still plenty playable and has a lot to offer, it's why it has such a passionate fanbase. What they do to remake it, will inevitably lose what made it what it is. Games are absolutely a product of when they release and I think more people should be more willing to accept that than just continue to beg for remakes. At some point we will get far enough where people will want a remake of a remake just because they like the current style more. Which sounds ridiculous to me. Tl;dr: Games can be old and we can see if the design holds up over time and the games that do are what separates the men from the boys. And gamers should be more willing to go through a process. Primarily ones that go out of their way to discuss games online. And the thought of Yakuza 0 getting a remake made me physically recoil, but it was a good bit.
