Does this mean we'll see a Western release for Yakuza 3 then?

They did release Yakuza 2 (although it took them a long time), so they probably will release Yakuza 3. I don't even care if they don't do english voice acting, I would be fine with english subtitles only.

1.6 - They could release the same game
just add subtitles. No need to do any mega advertising. Just a few ads in gaming mags here and there. I'd buy it for sure.

this isn't some open world game made for the 360 ala GTAIV. This game was made for the PS3. The environment is more detailed and open than GTA4 in every way. It takes advantage of the space available through blu-ray.

I guess what I'm saying is it's not possible on 360 unless they scale it back. So keep dreaming.

I have no doubt Yakuza 3 will see a release over here. It's gained a lot of popularity with the previous games and seeing as how a lot of gamers seem to be following it, I'm sure it'd do well outside of Japan. I know I'm a fan of the series.

Shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't mind swapping DVD's 17 times.

A Yakuza 1-3 box set would be great for those of us who never played the fist two PS2 games.

"I would actually prefer it keep Japanese voices and have english text."

Exactly.

I mean all they would have to do is translate it to English. You could see yakuza 3 by mid summer. Maybe.

7 - Lets see an xbox game sell like YAKUZA 3 in japan
O wait it can't you know why becase there's a 2million difference between PS3 and 360. So whena PS3 game doesn't sell like a 360 game in USA its cause of the FU3KING 7million gap.

Don't worry peeps. Y3 is gonna come to the west. Of all the Yakuza titles it's the one most capable of breaking out of niche level sales in the world outside Japan.

1 and 2 were daffy in that Japanese way (which I enjoy as i did noth games too)and while Y3 still seems to have that element you can see the level of polish and attention to detail is much higher than in previous outings.

It looks l;ike a cool ame with nags of variet and a better fighting system than before. Bring it and we'll buy it-if only more of us had got the amazing VC then maybe this would be announced by now! Sricking subtitles on it can't cost that much and most interested would rather have that than crappy dubs so Sega do it now!
