Nice. Been looking at getting into the series (everyone who I know has played it waxes lyrical about it) so this seems like a good place to jump in.

Unless this is a bad place to jump in? Been trying to avoid information about the series on the off chance the remakes are released...

With the way Sega is handling this series I don't think there'll be a better chance to jump in.  Sega released HD remasters of Yakuza 1&2 just for the Wii U, which was odd since the fanbase and started with Sony I'd thought Sega would've at least made it multiplat for Wii U and PS3.

Not sure what features Yakuza 5 has, but if you get Yakuza 4, at the menu there's a video summary feature of each previous Yakuza game to bring you up to speed with the storyline.

1 & 2 HD are available on the PS3 also but only in Japan it even has a physical copy.  Maybe if 4 sells well it will  get localized eventuall also.
