"A lot of people are, understandably, feeling a bit fatigued by the veritable tsunami of video game remakes and remasters we're seeing right now.

Just last month, I wrote a review about Metal Gear Solid Delta, questioning its role and reason to exist as a "new" version of a pivotal classic. Often, the limitations of the system games are made on"
"As reported by Push Square, the studio's official website temporarily had a category for Yakuza Kiwami 3, before it was promptly taken down. But considering Tokyo Game Show is right around the corner, along with two RGG Direct presentations, it seems overwhelmingly likely an announcement is imminent. And I'd actually argue that Yakuza 3 is the most deserving game in the entire series of a remake, even over the previous two Kiwami games, for a multitude of reasons."
Yakuza 3 originated as the series' first PlayStation 3 entry in 2009 and pairs a remarkably personal, emotional narrative with outdated technical design. The game shows signs of a generation struggling to harness new hardware, producing a sloggy gameplay experience despite strong core systems. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio briefly listed Yakuza Kiwami 3 on its official site, suggesting a full remake—likely built on the Dragon Engine—may be imminent around Tokyo Game Show. A modern remake could preserve the story while addressing pacing, performance, and systems that impede the original vision.
