Yakuza series

(Gaming discussion not related to Shenmue)

Didn't see that on the heads-up, I'll download it now. On the Yakuza note, I've found a Youtube user with all the story cutscenes from Yakuza 1 and I'm presuming 2. Not a bad way to catch up on the story if you don't have a PS2 or either game..

(Seems it's not on the UK store, humbuggery..)

I guess I should just be glad that it comes out but 3 days after FFXIII are they even giving it a chance.

Badass. Now to decide whether to use my Amazon voucher on this or Sega Racing.. On one hand, I want DLC for Sega racing, on the other hand I want Yakuza 4. Both are dependant on these games success :roll: Afraid I can't wait for both to be bought together either!

That's the US cover, and yeah it fucking sucks. If I don't like our cover (if they change it), I may just print off the JPN cover and place it over. Before the announcement, I almost imported a copy from Japan and started hunting the Gamefaqs guide that I saw mentioned on other forums.

I never preorder anymore, especially not just for bonuses. If there are any for the UK, you can expect Play.com to get them.

New trailer released by Sega Europe. Don't seem like the US have got a release date yet.

Looks brilliant. The preorder bonus has me a little confused, do you just get the costumes or that and the minigames? Looks like all of the Japanese version remains in tact which is a good thing.

Was that the same little girl from Yakuza 1, Riku?

For those that were going to watch the video's of the first two games DON'T. Amazon have both games really cheap £30 for the two of them.

Only the first few chapters of Yakuza 1 were uploaded in the end, haven't seen any of Yakuza 2. Don't have a PS2, either.
