Yakuza 3 confirmed, coming exclusively to PS3

PS3 exclusivity isn't too surprising, as the previous two entries were only on PS2.

Hmm... I've yet to play the first Yakuza. Anyone care to tell me if there's anything good/bad about it, and if I should bother to play it?

can we get shenmue on 360 plz

Just in case you guys wanted to know, the kanji by the guy's life bar reads "Big Wood." Hehehehehe

If That's how the game looks, why keep it exclusive?

I thought that screen cap was someone getting knee'd in the groin and was wondering why it didn't say "2 CHAIN"

I was never a big fan of this series. To be honest I rather just stick to playing GTA 4 on PS3.

Hmm, I'm curious, what happened to that Yakuza mentioned to be released not too long ago? Was that Yakuza 2?

Either way, good to see it. Lets see some more Shenmue multiplat just in case I can't pick up on one or the other :)

Another solid 3rd party exclusive for the PS3. Between this and Haze, 360 owners must be off crying in a corner somewhere.

LOL!

no im only crying on the last boss of NG2 maybe a new costume will help me beat him >.<

This game will be my reason to buy a PS3!!!

Killer App.

Its a great game and you should definintely check it out.

The story goes, the main character was an orphan, who was adopted by the leader of the Yakuza and at the start of the game he has everything going for him. Hes become romantically involved with the girl everyone wants. Hes well respected by his peers and is even being rumored to be made the head of the new yakuza family. But on 1 faithful night, it all goes to hell. I wont give anything away, but lets just say that bullets go flying and he ends up in prison for 10 years because of his stubborn loyalty. When he finally gets out, he goes on a mission to find out what really happened that faithful night, find out what happened to his love and his friends, and basically put back together the pieces of his life in the middle of a yakuza gang war.

The gameplay is a lot like Shenmue, where you wander around the streets of a closed city area; asking tons of questions and occasionally helping people out. You can also play pool, go to strip clubs, go on dates, and other distractions.

Two things that suck about the game: 1) theres AlOT of loading in the game. Most of the loading is short, but its so dam frequent its annoying. 2) Theres ALOT of random battles that take place in the game. It seems like on every block, theres some ahole gang members that pick a fight for no reason, and later in the game it gets very tiresome. Especially because theres loading times for it.

Overall though, its a great game. The characters (especially this little girl you have to take care of) are very likeable and its worth putting up w/ the flaws to see the story through.

Actually "Mike" go and re-check your specs.

You're wrong, cell isn't designed for games and will never show a performance advantage.

Sony fooled you. It's widely accepted that the 360 GPU is more powerful and the flexible RAM allowance allows for easier development. You spout forth yet you bring no evidence. Show me one game that has "obliterated" the 360 hardware wise? (or any other way for that matter)

Your precious mega-exclusive MGS4 (if anything was going to use cell, it was that) has come and gone, cell has been proven pointless - get over it.
