According to devs yes you can. I have not played myself yet.
Judgement has nothing to do with Yakuza except it is set in the same City area. you can lay Judgement when you want it is a great game

Bought the collection and downloading Yakuza 3 now! Woohooooo
The PS+ service has been good for Ryū Ga Gotoku studio in my case. I got Yakuza 1 Kiwami for free on PS+ and have since bought Yakuza 0, Yakuza 2 Kiwami, Judgment, Yakuza 6 (not played yet) and now the 3, 4, 5 collection.

Kenzan is the only yakuza game without trophy support. They had a chance to go back and add some in but they didn't bother. You do get in game bonuses for clearing stuff though. I think you would get more enjoyment out of both kenzan and Ishin by playing kiwami first so you understand the cameos.

That's cool, but can we get them on Steam as well?
They said they know people want it on PC as well but they have nothing to announce right now regarding a PC version.

Wait… So the upcoming collection only includes 3-6? Not all of them? I'm a bit confused.

3 to 5 only. 6 is the latest release so it isn’t included in any collection.
The Origins Bundle got 0, Kiwami 1 and Kiwami 2

Been playing Yakuza 0 recently, only very early on (big event just happened after massive kicking arse session) and it's got its hooks into me. Characters and story are slowly brilliant and it captures the era well. Glad to see I can play through all the games on PC

I am excited and in for physical. I've been playing yakuza 0 trying to platinum it but that damn pocket racer last match is a pain lol. Its holding me back from starting kiwami 1 and 2. 6 I already finished.

Incredible value! Three games for $60 (3, 4, and 5). I just got into the series on PS4 and I've completed Y0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, and Y6. These are amazing games. I'm definitely getting the remastered collection.

Yes! Went ahead and pre-ordered on Amazon until Best Buy goes up, hopefully. Got some certificates and one expires next month so hoping it goes up soon.
Oh, and got Yakuza 6 today for $8 brand new in the greatest gaming haul I probably have ever had thanks to a friend. Still need to beat 5 before I start, but it's tempting to start.

I just finished the main story of 3. As a story itself it was fine, not my favourite thus far by any means, but perfectly serviceable. But oh boy is the pacing all over the place.
Mechanically it's more clunky than newer entries in the series, but that's understandable. And I realize it's just a port, so I'm not expecting for example refreshing the combat. But it would have been nice if for example the menus would be brought up to modern standards - the map sucks ass quite bad. Still, for 20€ (well, 60€ for all three) I can't complain, I have a lot of side content to clear so very good value for money.
Oh one more thing, there was a huge missed opportunity in the end battle:
(Yes, that was a terrible joke. I have zero regrets.)
It's not that the game starts out slow -it does, but that's on par with the series. But instead of starting out slow and building up towards an epic climax, the pace goes up and down really erratically, even in very late chapters. This is especially evident when Kiryu returns to Okinawa. Shit's really about to go down, but Kiryu must do several quests with the kids that really feel out of place at that point. Had they been included in the first few chapters it would have been fine. Or if they'd be optional. But as it is, it feels more like filler instead of good content.
Also when it comes to narrative, the game is able to hold intrigue about who's done what about two thirds into the game. And then there's a huge exposition dump that basically clears most questions you've had so far, not exactly very good storytelling.

They really should have licensed GnR's "You could be mine" to play in the background

For the Aussies here, it's up for pre-order on JBHifi for au$79.
Just be aware you're paying the full amount upfront, unless you're using a credit card.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
I'll be waiting for that.

Yakuza 4 is a good one, especially for those a little burnt out from playing Kiryu all the time. The new characters are all pretty good, although the story takes, imo, a not so great turn. It's still great overall though. Enjoy!
That whole "oh, it was only rubber bullets" thing was a little silly. It made Saejima's part of the story lose a lot of its impact. I really liked the idea of him being contrite for what he had done and knowing that he was going to get punished again, but still wanting to tie up all lose ends before he went.

I've recently returned to this set, playing 3 again for the first time in about a decade and quite enjoying the subtle changes over the original English release. It's been so long that I don't remember a lot of these parts anyway. Since I'm stuck at home, I'm living vicariously through Kiryu as he jaunts around Okinawa. It's definitely showing it's age, especially after coming off of Judgment this past summer, but I still love all the games of this series.
I bought the physical release in February. Feels great to have all the major main games of the series available on one system.
Now about Kenzan and Ishin...
