DjMizuhara sent us what seems to be the final trailer of Yakuza 3, Japanese version of course. Needless to say, it looks like this is going to be a very beautiful game.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (6 Days ago)

SEGA has no currently plans to release this outside of Japan. :(
btw The trailer looks awesome of course. :>
maybe you were thinking about Yakuza 2.5 ( don't really remember title)
anyway i hope it will make it out of japan
now i am playing Yakuza2 so it still has some time to make it here :)
It is already where it sells very well and makes sense for the demographic... Japan.
Many hardcore gamers want this, and i understand that, but they are a niche and this isn't a very mass market game.

it's kind of japanese GTA so why do you think it's that niche not mass market game ?

It's ridiculous how long it took for Yakuza 2 to come out in Europe...i don't even wanna think about how long this one is gonna take...neither do i understand it. Why do they decide to wait so ridiculously long to bring it out in europe and US?
the Yakuza series always had a lot of long cutscenes - whether or not they're "pointless" is subjective, I always liked them
@ TheFuriousOne )
yea, it's definately totally out of synch (atleast in the streaming version)
Flashing japanese letters all the time.
Why the hell don't they use this engine for Shenmue 3?!
SEGA seems to only release their shitty games in EU and USA.
No wonder they almost were bankrupt...
the game should cbe released over here. hell, even a basic english sub would do me fine. i prefared shenmue 2 that way and im sure i will this game as well. no need to wait 2 years for an all english voice cast etc....just sub it.

if a game like final fantasy can succeed in the west, so can yakuza, and yakuza 3 in particular has a good chance of success. yakuza 1 was an unknown IP, it was obvious it would be approached with a certain degree of reservation. yakuza 2 was released over in the west when the "next gen" systems where in full swing...and they wonder why it performed badly over here. yakuza 3 however has 2 things on its side....timing, and its visuals. in a generation where graphics are more important then gameplay for a lot of people. it's bound to sell better
if sega dont release this in EU and US then they're stupid
It's the way it goes! Valkyria Chronicles everyone should practically buy three copies of out of pure gratitude that Sega brought it over. But nope, it's sold horribly, and if Sega hesistate to bring over a hugely hypothetical VC2, people will call them stupid again! Yay!

Valkyria can't have long legs, because it doesn't get any shelf space and so people won't even notice this game exists (with the exception of a very small minority, that actually reads up on it on the internet - that minority also is likely to buy it from some online retailers)
the same would happen to Yakuza 3 as it's just another iteration of a weakly selling franchise, so stores won't reserve any shelf space for it, if Sega doesn't spend millions on advertising and people magically preorder it in en mass
