Yakuza Kiwami: PS4 vs. PS2 Graphics Comparison

Times sure have changed.

Cutscenes

Cutscenes make it quite obvious how much of an improvement Yakuza Kiwami is, and it’s oddly nostalgic at the same time. The scenes themselves are still pitched almost the exact same way as in the original PS2 game, leaving the same style and impact with a shiny new coat of paint. With the first photo, you can see how much more detailed character’s outfits are, even Kazuma’s iconic white suit. The impressive facial animation the series has built over the years also work wonders for Kiwami.

Meanwhile, the second photo shows how much more detailed the game has become, with the general lighting being much more vibrant in the scene, along with finer details like the creases on Yumi’s blouse or the strands of hair for Nishiki and Kiryu. Of course, Yakuza Kiwami runs on an entirely different engine, but seeing these cutscenes fully remade is a great way to experience this story again and see just how far the series has come.
