Yakuza 1 and 2 on PC

[ZodiacThundaga]

To complete the series, they should put 1 and 2 on PC, ported from the PS3 or Wii U versions which enhanced Yakuza 1's combat.

Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 are remakes of the original Yakuza 1 and 2. Maybe it would be good to put the originals, but YK complete the series by itself really well

I'm pretty sure they don't want people playing the outdated originals.

That's why Kiwami's here. But if people do? Why not have them available?

^Because it costs money to format them to Steam and the amount of extra sales they'd get wouldn't justify the cost to do it.

And, by their perspective, the Kiwami games ARE the rereleases of the original games and I think they want players playing those.

It'd be a one and done deal at least. Get it out of the way.

A one-and-done deal that loses money. No point.

Would you be opposed to it?

[Hotel Security]

Of course not, but I'm not the one who has to pay for it. They'd just be making it at a loss to do a favor to the very few people who aren't satisfied with just playing the Kiwami titles. Lots of money spent for very few. I have Kiwami 1&2 already purchased to play so I know I wouldn't buy them.

You're the one who bought the games, they should put that money into something productive. Like Yakuza 1&2 on PC.

to be fair, a lot of people do like to try the original ps2 releases, for various reasons (i do it for the english dub)

[xShapelessx]

Its called emulation

[Hotel Security]

^Seriously. So much angst over a company not re-releasing something when they're all out there for free.

>they should put that money into something productive. Like Yakuza 1&2 on PC.

Again, you're just not quite grasping this "it's not going to make money" thing. It's the opposite of productive.

Who's side are you on? Wouldn't you like it?

>Who's side are you on? Wouldn't you like it?

I already said I wouldn't buy it. I have Kiwami 1&2 waiting to be played. Why play a more archaic version? Maybe if I had played them before and wanted to experience the nostalgia I would be more interested but that's not the case.

And if I REALLY wanted to replay them that bad, I would have just gotten an emulator and played them that way. Shaking my fists at the sky and hoping for a re-release wouldn't solve anything. Want to play them? Get Google searching.

[ZodiacThundaga]

Even if it is more archaic, it's still not the same as Kiwami. Remakes are never the same. Yakuza 1&2 on PC would be like a Blu Ray or Digital rerelease.
