“About Yakuza 3

Yakuza 3 is the third main entry in the Yakuza series, released for the PlayStation 3 in 2009. It was developed by Sega’s CS1 Team and published by Sega. It was released in Japan and South East Asia on February 26, 2009 and in North America and Europe on March 9, 2010, and March 12, 2010, respectively, and a remaster is planned to be released on August 9, 2018, in Japan for the PlayStation 4. The sequel, Yakuza 4, was released on March 18, 2010, in Japan.

Features

Seamless Battle: Seamless Battle is a streaming data-based loading-free system that allows the game to directly connect the adventure mode and the battle mode (called “Kenka”) without the usual loading black screen.

Chase Battle: Chase Battle is a new battle mode which replaces the regular brawling (Kenka) with a running sequence set within a certain area. Both the chaser and chased have a stamina gauge that decreases as naturally as the character runs, by being hit with a thrown object or by colliding with a passer-by. When the stamina gauge is empty the exhausted character stops the chase. During the game a minor character, Mack Shinozuka, will train Kazuma to improve his running performance.

Revelation: Ten revelations will allow Kazuma Kiryu to learn new Heat Actions in Adventure mode; it is similar to the system introduced in the previous game Ryū ga Gotoku: Kenzan!. This time Kazuma uses the built-in camera on his cell phone to record new moves and techniques. These are acquired through hints and incidents spotted in First Person View. Learned Heat Actions are posted on Kazuma’s personal blog, called “Kamuroblo”, which uses the same template as producer Toshihiro Nagoshi’s own blog.

First Person View: When pressing the R3 button during the adventure mode, the standard third person view switches to a brand new first person mode. This perspective allows a better observation of the streets and people, but looking at some people in the eyes using First Person View will provoke them and they will attack. First Person View is disabled in some indoor places and at certain angles.

Event Mode

The main story spans over twelve chapters plus a prologue. As with the earlier games, each chapter is preceded by a cinematic, called an “event scene”, which later becomes available in the Gallery mode. Skipping these scenes using the Start button can only be done after enabling the scene-skipping option in the menu, which is switched off by default.

Six sub-scenarios (Date’s Pride, Two Fathers, Hometown Girl, The Finishing Touch, Silver Screen Dragon and Murder at Café Alps) are special missions featuring “event scene” cinematics. Holding R1 and pressing the X button will activate an automatic mode that skips the cutscene dialogue.”
