shockwave Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yakuza ain't no Shenmue, nope. Gameplay wise, this could be, but the past ones have been hugely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyofx Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 This better be a lot more than a high res retooling of the same engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeKingdomsEra Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 As long as you can actually target the boss enemies instead of facepalming as your hits soar through the air and miss , its fine with me . Honestly , What I love about this game is that you play as a 37 year old man . (yes yes , the english version says 30 , but I'll stick to the japanese age) . Its a relief from playing as whiny teen emos . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 According to Toshihiro Nagoshi (producer of Yakuza 3), the game will have seamless movements into fights unlike the previous games. No loading screens for fights. Because the camera is freely controllable, the environments have to be designed such that as the player moves the camera around, he immediately gets the information he needs to know what the stores and stuff that appear in view in the distance are.

Keyofx Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I expect more than seamless exploration and fights. The problem is that the more they thrown in, the more it could edge into GTA territory :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 ^^ I have a lot of hope for this game. Day-1 buy for me! Same If sega are smart, they'll include english subtitles in the jp disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 since we have no thread for the game yakuza 2 IGN review Closing Comments While Yakuza 2 isn't vastly improved or even all that different from the first game (that will likely happen when the PS3 continuation finally hits), but what it does offer is a fantastic story that is actually interesting, sports characters that you can grow to love or hate, and plenty of twists to keep all those disparate parts fresh. Go buy this game. Seriously. SEGA needs to be rewarded for cranking out an experience like this, and doing it on the anniversary of the Dreamcast's launch is just icing on the cake. 8.5 Presentation Absolutely fantastic stuff, from the cinematic camera angles that actually give some Hollywood flicks competition to the attention to detail in the audio. 9.0 Graphics It's a solid-looking game, if a little prone to seaming and the odd bit of aliasing, but the atmosphere of running down a neon-lit street teeming with people is undeniable. 9.5 Sound Absolutely fantastic. Only the music grates, and even then is only for a short time. The rest of the audio is some of the best on the PS2. Yes, really. 8.5 Gameplay You'd think that caving in Generic Punk with "FART" on His Back #5456773 would get old after the 50th time, but nope, it's just as satisfying to lay waste to a group of enemies. 8.0 Lasting Appeal There is a TON of stuff here to find, explore and uncover, from the return of locker keys to side quests to just chatting up virtual ladies. 8.5 Great OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
