Yakuza black panther
and thats getting a sequel, so yeah there is a reason to own a PSP.

Isn't that in medieval Japan, or was that just Kenzan?

onlu kenzan was in the feudal era

Sounds awesome. This will be the best yakuza ever i hope they fix the difficulty.

Also we need Yakuza HD collection including Kenzan.

More hardly surprising Yakuza 5 revelations have surfaced from Weekly Famitsu. In addition to the game's platform (PS3) and location (Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka), the magazine reveals that Kazuma Kiryu will be the main character.

Series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi hinted as much in interviews following the game's announcement, so this isn't too surprising.

The big question, of course, is if Kazuma will be alone. The past couple of console Yakuza games have had multiple playable main characters. In an interview with Famitsu this week, Nagoshi would not say if the game will have multiple main characters.

Here are some of the other bits from Famitsu's first look at the sequel:

The game will have massive volume.
Nagoshi says that if likening the series to a house, 5 would be like building a new house rather than adding an extension to an existing house.
The five cities will be of scale at or beyond the previous Osaka (Dotonbori) and Okinawa (Ryukyu) locations.
Rather than seeking out hostesses to appear in the game, Sega will be traveling to the five cities to seek out girls who will serve as a cheering squad for the game. The girls will appear in commercials as well.
The game will have presentation improvements, including shortened load times, improved camerawork and better character expressions. The team is using some of the knowhow they gained from working on Binary Domain.
The game will also have improved technology to allow for seamless conversations and battles. Nagoshi says that you will be surprised with the result.
The story will connect directly with Yakuza 4. It will not carry over from the zombie-themed Yakuza Of the End.
Masayoshi Yokoyama is now a producer. On past Yakuza games, he worked on such areas as script and scenario.
Development is currently in an early phase. Famitsu lists the game as date TBA.

I'd get into this series if they put out an HD collection. I've been interested in it for a while but I can't be assed to get the games.

Just start from 3 the others are really dated. Although Yakuza 2 was a great game gameplaywise, and 1 had the best story.

3 is still my favourite. I mean i can go back to 1 and 2 as i played them at the time but if you played them the clunky controls would completely put you off despite the game still being fun.

Games don't feel dated to me. I'm from the old school gamer dojo.

I'd like an HD collection with the first two PS2 games at least. My OCD will not allow me to play a series without playing it's preious installments first.

I'm considering getting 4 as it's $30/£19 is that really cheap or are these budget games?

Y1 had clunky controls for the time, and thats saying something. Luckily brutal combat wasn't common in games then so it was still awesome.

4s a good starting point and thats a decent price if that includes delivery.

Although i'd recommend getting 3 after you play 4 as it its just plain better. 4 is cool due to multiple characters but as you're hardcore like me, you'll realise the difficulty is a joke compared to 3 which made that game way more fun.

Err... the gaame sounds very promising.

Umm... are you sure this is a Yakuza game? It sounds like a dating sim.

those are probably the auditions for the hostess club girls

Those are a lot of ugly people. I think only like 1 possibly 2 were alright.

So one of them having Kazuma's last name is a coincidence?

Yeah, they always do these auditions annually its not that suprising that by chance the same surname would pop up eventually. These have not been confrmed to be in the final game only 5 of them will be.
