May be time to actually play the first game. It's been on the shelf ages.

Segata Sanshiro · Mar 25, 2008

sub release or bust!

Saitou · Mar 25, 2008

Yakuza 3 on track to be released outside of Japan sometime 2010.

Red Blaster · Mar 25, 2008

Amurica plz.

McBacon · Mar 25, 2008

FOCK YEAH!

(Probably should play more of the first then...)

alistairw · Mar 25, 2008

It's like the whole world has gone crazy. Supporting PAL territories with a niche title?

What next Sega? No more shitty friends for Sonic?

ethelred · Mar 25, 2008

One of Sega's best years in almost a decade? I think so! Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Chronicles, Valkyrie of the Battlefield, Shiren the Wanderer, Yakuza 2...

umm... shiren the wanderer isn't a sega game,they just publish it
game is made by chunsoft

Holy Order Sol · Mar 25, 2008

I want some English voice acting with "fuck" being repeated even more times than in the first one.
This is not sarcasm btw.

Wow this is shocking information. Please share more of your wisdom. From what direction does the sun rise? What color is the sky?

huh? forgot that we got this nice looking thing?

its not the first time europe is preferred by sega.

dawnXjustice · Mar 25, 2008

Awesome.

I see that there's a PR and some screens on Gamespress. Is it the UK PR?

Loudninja · Mar 25, 2008

Umm hello it was already announced for NA

It wasn't that difficult :lol

But yeah looks like the possible resurrection of SEGA as a quality 3º party dev.

I hope nobody quote my post talking or asking for Shenmue 3

you guys are impossible

StarEye · Mar 25, 2008

I hoped this would happen someday. Not being able to play 2 has held me back from buying the first game. Now I can justify a buy, and be able to look forward to Yakuza 3.

GrayFoxPL · Mar 25, 2008

Fuck YES! We Europeans will gladly grind yo dick for this SEGA! Thanks and respect!

it was announced on IGN.

there's not a single press release on yakuza 2 for north america.

so don't get your hopes up...yakuza 2 for USA is dead...no information since september 07.

archnemesis · Mar 25, 2008

Great news. I finished the first game last week and it is one of the best games the PS2 has to offer.

Did any of the American voice actors sign up for the sequel or are we stuck with the Japanese VA?

Ninja Kn1ght · Mar 25, 2008

YES! YES! Sega Step'd da fock op!!!

Yeah I know ,and no, you cannot say it dead just because of no new info.

chocomarker1 · Mar 25, 2008

yeah obviously sorry, i mixed things up...this whole situation reminded me of the shenmue 2 debacle back then...:lol

Visualante · Mar 25, 2008

When will I get to sell my PS2? Jeez.

Xater · Mar 25, 2008

Hell yes!

Now tell us that Yakuza 3 is on it's way too and all is forgiven Sega.

Well actually not all is forgiven but I will be happy and hate you no longer that much

grindamasta · Mar 25, 2008

YESSSSS!!!

Yup, it's from UK PR.

Kurosaki Ichigo · Mar 25, 2008

Fuck yes. SEGA is on a roll.

MidiSurf · Mar 25, 2008

Nice.

... Although for some reason I still haven't played the first one.

Blablurn · Mar 25, 2008

The whole thread reminds me of this

http://i31.tinypic.com/2jahk07.jpg (maybe NSFW)

But anyway - It's a good move from SEGA. Hopefully they are going to sell as a Budget-Title.

For instance 40 would be too much for me

chocomarker1 · Mar 25, 2008

Thank you, SEGA. Made my day.

Nemo · Mar 25, 2008

SEGA just went from bottom to the top for me! Can't wait!

DOBERMAN INC · Mar 25, 2008

Please SEGA fix the crash on PS3 for the first game,Then i can move onto this.

KTallguy · Mar 25, 2008

Yea, Yakuza 2 is great. But Kenzan fucking owns. They better do a nice localization for Kenzan, or heads will roll.

lastendconductor · Mar 25, 2008

Awesome.

Mr YuYu · Mar 25, 2008

Lets hope this one is playable on the ps3.

With Kenzan being a spin-off, hopefully they don't make us wait this long again for the localisation.

I just bought Yakuza today, And was planing on playing it on my ps3.Does the crash happen randomly or in the same place each time?

I'd prefer not to have to put my ps2 back up, But it seems i'll probably have to now

FoxhoundNL · Mar 25, 2008

Looks PS2-ish

. Will still buy.

IPGlider · Mar 25, 2008

This is great and unexpected, first Valkyria Chronicles and now this, in Europe!

I think I will buy Yakuza after all.

Yakuza 2 to get PAL release.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
