Yakuza 3 Remastered is, well... a remaster of Yakuza 3. The framerate has been increased from 30 to 60, and the resolution has been increased from 720p to 1080p on consoles, and beyond on PC. Furthermore, this remaster also adds back some extra content that was previously cut from the original English localization. It also undoes some weird quirks of the earlier Yakuza localizations, meaning no more Shintaro Fuma, no more Kage the Florist, etc.

Unused Graphics

PS3 Leftovers

Left in this remaster are some graphics used in the original version that ended up unused in this remaster, for one reason or another.

Unused Audio

Coliseum Tag Battle theme

A remix/early version of "Bruise" that was intended to play during tag battles in the coliseum, in-game, the normal coliseum theme "Skirmish" plays.

Karaoke

The backing track for the original Yakuza 2 arrangement of "Kamurocho Lullaby" is present among the game's karaoke files; the game uses a completely different backing track for this song. This backing track has an accompanying vocal, but it is the same as the one for the standard version of "Kamurocho Lullaby".

An alternative version of the karaoke track "I Wanna Change Myself". Unlike most karaoke tracks in the game, the vocal and backing track are contained in the same file.

Regional Differences

Like the original release and other Yakuza games, Yakuza 3 Remastered has licensed music that was replaced in the international version.
The Japanese release of Yakuza 3 Remastered uses the songs "Loser" as the opening theme, "Jikan yo Tomare" during Rikya's death scene, and "Omoi Ga Afuretara" as the credits theme, all sung by Eikichi Yazawa, while the international release uses a shortened version of "Fly" as the opening theme, a remix of a track from the original Yakuza's score titled "Tears of Father ~Overseas Edition~" on the Ryū ga Gotoku: The Best Original Sound Track CD as the credits theme, and replaces "Jikan yo Tomare" with a generic instrumental.

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Add these tracks to the page, preferably ripped straight from the Japanese and International versions.
  • Try to find the official name for "Jikan yo Tomare"'s replacement, if any.
