If you’re running on an SSD then it becomes almost seamless. Much like the PS4 version, this new PC port is flawless. In the numerous chase sequences, pressing a button would often pause the action for three-five seconds before your character responded. The game often performed at sub-720p and well below 30 fps. While the game is fantastic and evolves the formula well beyond what it had been, the PS3 struggles under the weight of everything. In its original form, Yakuza 5 is…not exactly great. The biggest upgrade is with regards to Yakuza 5, however. These almost look as solid as Kiwami, which pushed the older Yakuza engine to its limits. All of the ugly aliasing and blurriness that plagued the PS3 releases is gone.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say these are lazy ports, but the solid artwork mixed with true-HD and resolution scalers creates an exceptionally sharp image. In-game, the results continue to impress. Packed with all of the same HD goodness that the PS4 collection had, are these new ports the definitive way to experience Yakuza? Instead, we’re looking at the long-awaited continuation of Yakuza on PC with the Windows Store versions of 3, 4, and 5. We won’t be taking a look at the Xbox One ports today, which are said to run exactly the same as the PS4 “ Remastered Collection” that was released last year. As well as that, it’s now been another full year since Yakuza Kiwami 2 released that Xbox players will finally be able to continue protagonist Kiryu Kazuma’s adventures. It took until after the release of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life for the series to hit PC and it was almost another two years before the games started migrating to Xbox. Typically regarded as a PlayStation exclusive (despite actually releasing on the Wii U in Japan), Sega has been slow to bring these excellent games to other platforms.
When Microsoft announced that the Yakuza series was finally coming to Xbox in late 2019, fans were elated.
