![]() That's when we turned our attention to the Japanese version of the game and came up with the idea to port all text from English version to it.īarring some snags and bugs which SlowpokeVG (the guy behind Kenzan translation) is currently ironing out the progress is going relatively smoothly. The author of the work in progress Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan translation (check out his blog here: ) decided to team up with me so we can fix Yakuza 3.Īt first we thought about modifying the western version to try and "restore" the cut stuff but as we dug into it, it turned out it has also been butchered deep down to the code level and it's more or less unfixable within reasonable amount of time and without some serious knowledge of PS3 debugging and assembly language. So we decided that people in the west should also be able to play the definitive version of the game rather than the cut and butchered one. There has also been some censorship applied to the game as well. Product placement was cut and plenty more things. Various sidequests and cutscenes were cut, some side activities like Shogi or other minigames were cut. ![]() A release date is currently TBA in Japan.As some of you may know, the western version of Yakuza 3 had a lot of changes made to it due "cultural differences". While you might suspect that the game is a long way off, Sega is apparently ready to begin a PR push and will open up a portal website in the coming days. Development began on Yakuza 3 right after Kenzan finished up. Yakuza 3 will continue with series traditions of making use of famous actors for its voice staff and also tapping into real world brands for in-game signs and shops, Nagoshi told the magazine. Kamiyacho will still be the main area of play, though. According to Nagoshi, in the two years since Yakuza 2 (in-game time has progressed at the same rate as real world time), Kiryu and Haruka have, for some reason or another, ended up way down in the south. Yakuza 2 added a new location to the game world, a version of Kamiyacho located in the Osaka area. Expected characters will return for the sequel (we'll keep from telling you who those are, since it's likely that many in the English speaking world won't play Yakuza 2 until later this year). The game returns to Kamiyacho, the setting of the original and the primary setting of the sequel, and features Kazuma Kiryu in the main character role once again. While Kenzan took the series into Edo era Japan, Yakuza 3 is a full sequel to Yakuza 2 and tells the story of what happened after that title. As with Kenzan, the sequel is coming to the PlayStation 3. Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed to Famitsu that development is fully under way at Sega's NE Software R&D Planning Section. Unlike the first PS3 Yakuza game, which was known in Japan as Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan (Ryu ga Gotoku being the Japanese name for the Yakuza series), this one has the actual "3" in the title and is formally known as Ryu ga Gotoku 3. The real Yakuza 3 made its debut in this week's Famitsu.
