Sega’s Handling Of Its Next Yakuza Game Is Looking Good

8:40AM September 3, 2010 | Michael McWhertor

The last Japanese mobster game that Sega released for the PlayStation 3 came to North America noticeably scathed. Missions were missing, as were hostess clubs and any semblance of quality box art. But things are lookin’ up for Yakuza 4.

Sega released new screenshots, new video and new box art for the forthcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive today, underscoring a game that appears to be on the right track. Sega reiterated in a release that, yes, in-game hostess clubs will remain intact Yakuza 4.

Also available in the next Japanese gangster game will be karaoke, pachinko parlours and more Tokyo-style adult entertainment.

    Sega’s been doing some really good things lately (even if some of it has just been publishing) in my opinion.

    Pity there ain’t going to be a free soundtrack this time around, as unlike Yakuza 3 this game never got a soundtrack.

    3 was really god once it developed, but 4 actually looks like it will be a better game.
