Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza 5 [PS3]

[aubtin]

I don't see why they would have to cut all the yakuza's are instant 18 Certs anyways shouldn't be a big deal (I hope)

Trouble is, when SEGA cut Yakuza 3 significantly they blamed cultural differences, or some other nonsense to that affect. That's why suspicion's raised with Haruka's content. Hopefully they'll follow the same path as Yakuza 4, but I'm slightly concerned.

I am a little but with project diva becoming more popular in the west they may use the dancing sections to ease people in paving the way for possible diva goodness

It may just be coming thanks to Sega buying Atlus, fingers crossed

You trust news written by this guy?

Sadly, I don't believe it'll come out here, what with the PS3 going out and everyone focusing on the PS4. Real shame as Yakuza is one of my favourite game series ever made.

Surely everyone knows now but this thread needs a bump!

Digital only but yay nonetheless.

Good to see this getting a Western release. I have the Japanese version of this brilliant game. Some of the mini games are really fun plus full Virtua Fighter 2 Arcade machine and Taiko no Tatsujin mini game. Kabakura (Dating) is quite deep too. (hope all that stays in Western release.)

Story is usually Yakuza fair with twists etc. the last battle is quite brilliant and always sticks in the memory.

Didn't realise this was getting a western release, this is great news I'll take digital only no problems, hopefully if it sells ok we'll get Zero as well.

[Golgo]

Awesome news, when's it out?

[kryss]

What? Nice!

[shaffy_oppa]

Only said 2015. They've also put up 4 and Dead Souls on PSN. Not sure why 3 was skipped though.

Absolutely delighted by this news yesterday. Here's hoping they now continue this going forward.
