This time, the popular series, which was previously available only on PS3, is now available on PS4 in response to fans' requests to play it on PS4.

The PS4 version of "Yakuza4: The Legendary Legend" has been upgraded from the 720p/30fps of the PS3 version to 1080p/60fps for a higher quality and smoother gameplay experience. A product code for "Yakuza 4: The Legend Continues" original soundtrack is included. In addition, a product code for the "Yakuza 4: Legend Continues" original soundtrack is included as a bonus. The PS4 version of "Yakuza 5: Yume, Kanoeshimono" is scheduled for release in 2019.

The details of the enhancement system for the four main characters have now been released, and are as follows

■Level Up and Ability Acquisition
Each of the four main characters gains "experience" by winning battles and completing sub-stories. When a certain amount of experience is accumulated, the player's level rises, and the maximum values of physical strength and heat gauge also increase accordingly. The amount of damage that can be inflicted by enemy attacks and the power of the player's attacks remain the same, but the player's physical strength is increased, making it easier to fight.

Each level up gives the player three "skill souls" that allow the player to acquire new "abilities". In addition to techniques and heat actions that can be used in battle, there are also special abilities such as an increased heat gauge and the ability to evade enemy techniques.

Each ability requires the number of skill souls indicated on the right side of the ability name. Some abilities require the acquisition of related abilities in advance.

When a new ability can be acquired, the system notifies you when you call up the pause menu.

The more powerful the ability, the stricter the requirements, such as the number of Skill Souls needed and the prerequisite abilities that must be acquired. It is recommended to start with the abilities that are easy to learn and gradually increase the variety of actions that can be taken during battle.

Examples of techniques that can be learned
Kiryu [Renke Senki Sho].
This is an unguardable technique that releases all of the power that has been built up to the utmost limit and damages the enemy with a shockwave. In addition, the user is invincible when it is activated.

Akiyama [Rise to Rise].
This technique increases the Heat Gauge significantly. Note that it can only be activated when the fighter is lying on his back.

Saeshima [Charge Tackle].
A powerful move that grabs the tackled foe and throws him or her to the ground. Although it consumes a heat gauge, it can be used without fail.

Tanimura [Capturing the enemy
A heat action that handcuffs an enemy and renders him incapacitated in a single blow. There is also an ability to reduce its difficulty.

This is a remastered version of "Yakuza 4: The Legend Continues" originally released on PlayStation 3 with higher resolution and frame rate for PlayStation 4.
The content is basically the same as the original version, but there are some specification changes.
In the development of the PS4 remastered version, it was necessary to correct some of the dialogue of the main character, Masayoshi Tanimura, and it was necessary to re-record his voice. Hiroki Narimiya, who played the role of Masayoshi Tanimura, has retired from the entertainment industry, so the model and voice casting have been changed.
