I would like a 1 by 1/side to side comparison between the PS3 original, the remaster version (the version released on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs), and the remake aka Yakuza Kiwami 3 in the way Digital Foundry and AustinSV do them. I mean I liked the way Digital Foundry did this in-depth analysis video of The Last of Us Part 1 for the PS5 when compared to the PS4 remaster. AustinSV did a in-depth review video for the remaster of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 and compared it to the original version. I want to see something like that when it comes to making comparison between Yakuza 3 remaster and Yakuza 3 Kiwami in that same manner. I would appreciate Digital Foundry and AustinSV to do something like that for Yakuza 3 Kiwami when it comes to comparing to previous version of the 3rd Yakuza game. If you make a comparison video like the way I mentioned above, that would help certain gamers like me to help decide if Yakuza 3 Kiwami is worth buying.

This is the game in the franchise that honestly needs a lot of corrections to it's first attempt.

Yakuza 3 is a good game...deep down. it just needs a lot of polishing.

That said OH DEAR LORD WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY POOR Rikiya !!! is that supposed to be his new character model and voice acting?!? no offense to the actor but please give us our Riyika back

Not sure what the point is considering Yakuza 3 is already on most major platforms. I would’ve thought Kenzan next up, or maybe that zombie spinoff.

Dead Souls would make even less sense being more irreverent than most Yakuza Spin-offs.

Any of the spinoffs need a remake it would be The Black Panther duology (& Kenzan).
