Almost all of them. Simply increasing resolution, texture quality, and the geometry of a few models (such as those of the main characters) means it's a poor remaster in my eyes. I don't mind them, but hyping them for their minor improvements seems ridiculous to me.

Anyway, excellent! I've been somewhat interested in the series for a while, so this is yet another easy option for me to get into the series, should I decide to do so.

The way I asked that was kind of ass, so fair play to you. Not all remasters are created equally, but I've had great experiences with every one I've played. Remasters have been the way I've been introduced to some series like the God of War and Sly Cooper collections on PS3. Really, the vast majority I buy are games I've never played to begin with. Bioshock, Hitman and Uncharted are the only double dips.

Yeah, I too have had fun with remasters (at least the few I have). It's just that I think their improvements are overhyped, especially by publishers.

Yakuza 0 is my favourite PS4 game so far so definitely going to pre-order this.

I don't usually pre order games but this just looks magnificent. Playing through Zero at the moment and having a blast with it.

Publishers and devs should take note - this is how a remake should be done.

I would've priced it at $59, many people played and liked Yakuza 0 so they would likely buy this at the same price.

So, is this a proper remake or a typical poor remaster?

It's one of the good ones. If you want to see some side-by-side comparisons with the original PS2 release, here you go:

Yeah, I already got my answer and in my disbelief I actually had to search for footage, so I found a (different) comparison video. But thanks! :P I never realized Yakuza games didn't look better than that though. Still, a huge improvement, and good enough for me.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
