Enjoy Yakuza 4. I think Yakuza 3's the weakest in the series, but Yakuza 4's nothing but awesome.
I really really enjoyed 3, so this is only good news for me

Do I need to play Yakuza 1+2 to enjoy or understand the PS3 games? The franchise has fascinated me, but I've remained in the sidelines for now since I'm not sure if could just dive into the world without having played the first two games.
Nah. Like immortal-joe said, the video summaries of 1 and 2 on Yakuza 3's disc are quality.Do I need to play Yakuza 1+2 to enjoy or understand the PS3 games?

I'd say that 2 is the best of the series and it seems from other posts in this thread to be an opinion shared by many, so despite the video summaries in the newer games I would recommend you go ahead and play Yakuza 2 at least, it is deserving of a playthrough.

I finally got 3 and 4 in the mail today, about to start 3. Pretty excited.
They're worth playing unless you have issues with last-gen graphics, or the English dub from the first game.
That said, Yakuza 3 (and 4) come equipped with an amazing Video summary of all the events from prior games, nicely narrated by Kiryu (main character), and accessed from the main menu. It will bring you up to speed nicely.

i'll back this up, Yakuza 2 is the best in game in the series storywise and definitely should not be missed.
But, it's not necessary if you don't have easy access to the PS2 games. Each game has it's own story, only characters continue over from previous games. No cliffhanger endings here!
God, Sega better make this a March 2013 release.

Hm, I really disliked Saejima the first time around, maybe it was the hair?
Not really. RUBBER BULLETS!
Im sure they will but I can honestly say I prefer this one.Wow... this is an INSTANT day one pre order for me. I just hope they still have Kazuma's old outfit. Wouldn't feel the same otherwise. =(
Japanese people are lucky. When games use so many real life locations like this, you are like 10x more likely than an American to have the "I've BEEN there! I hang out there all the time!" reaction. It really brings this stuff close to home.
As a character whose story hinged in part on his race, I found him fascinating. Especially in the context of a Japanese game where race is usually a non-issue.At first it was hard to get used to his fighting style, but man, after some adjustment, playing him was just BADASS.
I do have complain about young detective though. He was not necessary.
Will buy, but honestly so far I'm not seeing that new/improved engine.
Also, by now (due to the level seen in other games), the faces could use some more texture detail, still good though.[
/rant ;P
That looks exactly like one of the stores you can enter in Kamurocho, located right at the south of the map. Eerily similar.

Each character has a base of sorts. The scale is much smaller than any other open world game though, but it's also much denser.I recently got myself a PS3 and as I'm really into open world games, but played nearly every notable title, I looked out for PS3 exclusives and stumbled upon Yakuza 4.
How much open world is this game? Can you own an apartment?
Hey guys.....maybe we can try to avoid bumps with no localization news....
Or not. You know, up to you.

I don't undetstand why they don't just call the place Kabukicho instead of Kamurocho. Will they also make up similar-sounding names for other famous places in Japan like Osaka's Dotonbori featured in this game?
Yeah, let's keep discussion about the newest Yakuza dead and buried. That'll show Sega that we really want it!Hey guys.....maybe we can try to avoid bumps with no localization news....
