Yakuza kenzan remake or Kurohyo remakes?

[C:\Patučan.TTV]

Which one deserves more to be made into a remake and why?
I feel like Kezan should be only a PC port and Kurohyo should be remade since they were PSP games,maybe both games in one? or something like that.

They'd never JUST port Kenzan to PC, especially since it's never been localized for consoles. Considering it released BEFORE Yakuza 3, it very much deserves and will probably get (if anything) the full Dragon Engine/Kiwami remake treatment.

I really don't think they'll ever do anything with the PSP games tbh, just too obscure and not enough demand.

I really hope the PSP would have a remake or something and if kenzan somehow doesn't get released we will still have the english fan patch,which should come out soon I hope

They said that if the make a Kenzan kiwami they would have to change some things of the story to be more correct with today standards so a full remake can be expected

Kenzan has to be remade entirely to be localized, including the story.
So i guess the best option is kurohyo

To be fair, they aren't "Obscure" so much as just, they released on a handheld and were also limited to japan only.

If I recall correctly they were originally PSP releases, but I think they were also released for either console or PS Vita. I remember downloading them for another platform from the Japanese PS store after I got rid of my PSP. The graphics were still PSP quality though, so the play experience was not great.

Kenzan is/was a great game. Haruka's story would never fly in the West though because it's not politically correct even though it was a common occurrence at the time (she enters a house of ill repute as a servant because of her financial situation). Ishin handles it much more sensitively with Ryoma becoming surety for her debt.

i keep hearing fans saying this, curious as to why? was the story to taboo for western? i havent played kenzan in such a long time. i definitely prefer to play as miyamoto mushashi.

there's a few things but the big one is the implication that Haruka is a prostitute. historically accurate but the sensibilities of plebbit is always going to be a consideration when it comes to investing a lot of money into western markets.

anyway, I don't think they'll bring another samurai game soon. Ishin might have sold well enough for them but it wasn't a big hit like ghost of tsushima. it really makes me wonder why they kept the worst aspects of the original (the grind in particular) while trying to appeal to a wider audience with the remake. If they remake anything it will probably be dead souls next but I don't expect that to happen. It would be nice to get Fist of the North Star though.

Kenzan for sure

To be fair, she's only a serving girl in a brothel. She takes the job to earn money to pay Musashi (Kiryu) to assassinate her parents' killer.

Still, the proximity to the vice industry, even though historically common, would probably not be well received by Western audiences.
