Next Yakuza Title Announced for Japan

There is a new Yakuza title in development for PS3. Apparently, the previous Yakuza title, “Kenzan”, was a spin-off from the main series, and was not the official Yakuza 3 as previously believed.

If you are confused, here is a quick overview:

Game Title	Console	Japan Release	USA + Europe Release
Yakuza	PS2	Dec 2005	Sep 2006
Yakuza 2	PS2	Dec 2006	Sep 2008
Yakuza: Kenzan	PS3	Mar 2008	Unknown
Yakuza 3	PS3	Unkown	Unknown

Here’s a pic from PS3 Yakuza Kenzan featuring a character played by the famous model Yinling of Joytoy

They’d better still release Kenzan to the West!

I’m eagerly anticipating Kenzan as well. What is taking them so long? It can’t be that hard to subtitle the game? I don’t want voice overs anyway!

Blackstaffer : Cool!
Pc : @Blackstaffer and anybody else who wants to know....I have those trigger attachments for both of my controllers and they work great! It feels weird playing without them now.
Trev : can't say my fingers have ever slipped off the shoulder buttons but i have read about people liking them.
Emrah : Another Sony screw-up. With the new interface, you cannot create a sub-account for people over 18. This is stupid. In the license agreement, it says you can, but sub-account choices are not displayed at all if you pick an over 18 age. Please advise..
Tosh Hatch : I would like to get some myself.
Tosh Hatch : I've heard they are really good actually.
Blackstaffer : Does anybody use these trigger thingys? Are they good? «link»
Tosh Hatch : You just beat the single player campaign. And FYI they are working on more DLC already for the game.
Pc : or does it have to be just single player campaign ?
Pc : Hey, does anybody know if you can unlock the zombie mode in COD: WAW while playing the co-op campaign?
fleakitten : Anyone plan on picking up Valkyria Chronicles? It's pretty good and an exclusive from Sega.
Trev : can't wait for WaW. its in the post on the way to me as i speak.
Tosh Hatch : Feb 09 is a long wait. I'm not sure LBP can keep me entertained until then or not, lol.
Burten : Hang on, Blackie, its just a couple of hours. I´m waiting for KZ2, and thats not out before feb 09 .. Now that is a loong wait
Blackstaffer : I has CoD:WaW! But I'm at work and can't play it until tonight when the children are in bed!
Blackstaffer : So who else is looking forward to CoD:WaW ?
Trev : anyone want to try the gta trophy flying the coop? here's what it entails «link»
Pc : PSN ID = niceNcrispy
Tosh Hatch : Ok, I will Sigh, the remote play wake up on lan isn't working. Now my work day will be long, lol.
Burten : Tosh : Check your PSN messages
Blackstaffer : Don't forget that if you're looking for friends to add your list, there's a bunch of people here: «link»
Tosh Hatch : Well I looked around that website and signed my name to the beta begging list in the forum, lol.
ehandlr : its been a while i know
ehandlr : the offficial killzone website iirc
Tosh Hatch : I'm a PS Underground member since .. 03 I think. And which website do you sign up ?
ehandlr : Killzone beta is still only with underground members and people who signed up at the website
Tosh Hatch : @ Burten - I haven't heard of a public Killzone 2 Beta yet .. I hope they do one soon
Rjcc : same here, I'm glad for a demo so I cna give it a try, cuz I didn't like the previous mgs games, so I wouldn't just buy right off
Glitch : As strange as it might seem, MGS4 isn't that high on my list at the moment. I'm downloading the demo as we type, but I'm not sure if I want to play it. Because I will play the whole game at some point and don't really want to ruin any surprises.
Burten : in that case, start downloading, dude! (or just buy the game, it IS really good)
Glitch : Not for me, since I actually haven't played MGS4 yet.
Burten : @ Tosh : Aint the Killzone beta going public these days..? Have a look around. But for the MGS demo.. Isn´t that kinda few months late?
Glitch : The Metal Gear Solid demo is on the European store as well. So you can get it there.
Rjcc : is the mgs4 demo on the japan store in english at all? I'd like to try it out
