60 fps Kiwami 2?
Edit: or is that already 60, and I’m thinking of Yakuza 6?
are these remakes of the ps2 games?
Yeah, Kiwami 2 is locked at 30 FPS on Xbox. Yakuza 6 is 60 FPS with FPS boost.
I guess I’m replaying those games with the new versions. I’m excited for Yakuza 0 Director’s which is the first game I played in the series and also the one I didn’t like that much and never finished.
Kiwami games are remakes of 1, 2 and the upcoming 3.
The first 2 are getting native Xbox Series updates, with Kiwami 2 hopegully getting 60fps.
Directors cut apparently added somethings that were cut before that unfortunately don’t go well with the story told.
0 is also considered to be one of if not the best game in the series, but I do hope you enjoy your time with the earlier entries remakes.
I played Kiwami 1 and 2 start to finish. I loved them both. I played 3, 4 and 5 a tiny bit (I was burned out tbh and the games didn’t age well). I played 6 start to finish and then 7 which I loved. I should get back to Infinite Wealth to finish it. I adored Judgment 1 and Lost Judgment was good.
I know 0 is considered one, if not, the best. I just started with it when the series came to Xbox and didn’t vibe with the long cutscenes. I also wanted to play a game that focuses on Kiryu.
I currently just need to get back to LAD, playthrough LAD IW, Judgement 2 and Yarrrkuza.
But there have been so many games I want to play I can’t find the time to get back to them.
Petition for “Yarrrkuza” to be the official name.
