I Can't be The Only One Who Wants Yakuza Zero in English So Badly
While there's no word on a western release for the upcoming Yakuza 0, the latest trailer was just too awesome not to share. With English subtitles no less.
The games of the Yakuza series have always been very cinematic, making for some pretty great trailers that give you a very meaty taste of the stories within. The latest released trailer for the game doesn't really offer more details on the plot than the last one did, but it's on par in terms of drama, atmosphere, and some pretty fantastic visuals. Check it out below with subtitles added by yours truly.
Yakuza 0: The Place of Promise is scheduled for release on the PS3 and PS4 in Japan on March 12th along with some snazzy custom PS4s. No word on an international release. Yet.
For those of you that were saying you really want a next gen Shenmue, this is the game you need to check for. You can dap and rep me later.
Update 1/27/15
This week’s Yakuza 0 gameplay walkthrough starts the game from the beginning, showcasing the first chapter of Kazuma Kiryu’s story.
Kiryu, of course, is one of two playable characters in Yakuza 0. Next week, we’ll likely get a similar video for Majima Goro.

The Yakuza 0 demo launched for PlayStation Plus subscribers last week in Japan is now available to all users.
Queue up the demos here: PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
The demo will let you play up until the middle of the game’s first chapter. In terms of length, it runs about an hour-and-a-half to two hours. The story begins with a certain murder and follows Kazuma Kiryu as he is engulfed in a power struggle in the underworld of Kamurocho, 1988.
i have put 100 hours into this game and outside of the underground MK tourney Goro goes to, the main story is fairly realistic in terms of characters. I legit didint really dislike anyone but Sohei Dojima. Your enemies had heart, and a desire for power. everyone basically acted how they supposed to, none of the shyt was really personal outside of normal glory seeking shyt. real talk i loved my nikka Kuze with the glasses, dude might have taken several beatings but that nikka was a G, Awano was a lame to me, but against, stood tall like a man, Shibusawa was that quiet Marlo nikka in the cut. really enjoyed this, also the first game i ever played to examine sex work, trans women and being an immigrant,seeing as how its the underworld it makes sens alot of the people in this game are chinese. really loved this
i also loved how much respect nikkas had for each other, everyone knew what they were dealing with and the life they were living
one quote that stuck out was when the OG said something like "Dojima is what happens when small men acquire power beyond the influence and intelligence and seek to wield irresonsibily like most insecure small men" shyt was a great convo
I love the writing and dialogue in this
I'm at least halfway finished and not really strapped for cash
Zero came out before 1 (Remake), 2 (Remake) and 6.
