Yakuza 4 The Movie, coming to a PlayStation 3 near you.
It's hard to make heads or tails on Yakuza 4. It's an absolutely weird game that's steeped in Japanese culture. Calling it a game is even a little off, it's more like some game-movie hybrid. There are hours upon hours of cutscenes that drive the story, and the various tasks you perform in the sandbox world of the game. Don't mistake this for a Grand Theft Auto clone; it's something completely unto itself. If you've played Yakuza 3, I'm sure this is all old hat, but unlike that title, this one hasn't been censored in any way for its western release.
The head of R&D has something new up his sleeve.
At the Tokyo Game Show during a panel, Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed that aside from the latest Yakuza title, he is working on something new.
