Original Rumor

And while this is still not the official confirmation many are seeking, it's definitely reason to keep up hope.

So I guess is this is where I say "yeah!", but I don't know much about the franchise. I know a lot of people want it to come West, though.

Time to hurry up and beat my import and sell it



If you didn't know, now you know.

Yakuza 3.

Join the gang.

I'd buy it day 1 if it came out in the U.S.

Demo review - It's excruciating. The review not the demo.

Same. Though I really want the samurai spinoffs more. Hopefully both are getting localized.

i tried the demo and i didnt like the fighting but it seems like theres alot more to do in the game than that like mackin on hostesses. id buy it reduced price if it had japanese voices with english subbing.

You play any of the other Yakuza games?

I hope this doesn't end up being some cruel joke.

PLZPLZPLZPLZPLPZLPZLLZPZLPZLPZLPLZPLZL be for realz.

I trust 1UP enough to believe this to be true. Yay!

I'll believe it when I see it.

After Tatsunoku vs. Capcom anything is possible.

I didn't even know 1up was still around, I still haven't finished the first one but that's just cause it started messing up on my 80gig ps3 and I have the second one still wrapped but I would definitely pick this up, enjoyed what I've played so far. This and Valkyria Chronicles are the only great series segas got going.

I hope this is coming, but Sega still dropped the ball - this past July would have been the perfect time to release Yakuza 3 - after Infamous and before Batman. A PS3 exclusive that is considered AAA by most would have had the attention all to itself, instead it might get lost in the sea of 2010 releases. I only point this out because Sega could use less-than-stellar sales as an excuse to stop releasing titles like this.

First day purchase for myself as well.

You're still saying you hate everything. Next I thing I know, I bet you'll complain that characters with slanted eyes don't meet the high standards of your jaded asshole and that's why Yakuza 3 is up on your trade list.

I bet you're thinking about it already.

You're also a super bitch.

awwww yeaaa
hope they can get it out before the end of the year. Will be busy with uncharted in oct, ass creed 2 in nov, yakuza could pick up the slack between then and ff13

You know how MGS4 made people buy the PS3? This game will finally make me buy a PS3. The moment they officially announce this for the States, I'm gonna stop buying everything gaming related except for Modern Warfare 2 and save up for The Adventures of Kazuma part 3.
