Ryu Ga Gotoku Sequel (PS3)
-Not RGG4 but not RGG Kenzan 2 either
-Nagoshi believes that fans will be accepting of the title regardless of if Kiriu goes to space or fights zombies
-Thinking of making it more 3-dimensional than prior titles
-Title still evolving
-Thinks fans wouldn't wait 2 years for RGG sequels
-No voice acting done yet (pre-audition stage) but appears that auditions will be open to the public, atleast for the females....all that's required to audition is a love for the RGG IP.


and more:


Nagoshi told the magazine that he couldn't say too much about the title, but he did provide a few solid bits. The new Yakuza game will take place in modern times, different from the first PS3 entry, Yakuza Kenzan, which took the series to the Edo period. The game is being developed for the PS3.

Now for the vague stuff. Nagoshi hinted to the magazine that the new title will offer some new elements. He said he'd like to offer a new game style. There's plenty of room for additions to the modern setting, it seems. Noting that players have, until now, been able to enter stores on the ground floor of buildings in the game's Kamiyacho red light district, Nagoshi said that he'd like to provide a more 3D experience. Read that as you may, but perhaps players will be able to climb the heights of the game's buildings

I don't know if any of you know/remember that patent that Yu Suzuki filed back around the time of Shenmue, which only got passed this year (09)...

It was for an engine that automatically created the inside of buildings, every room individually complete with interior design and furniture placed realistically, as in... beds against walls, nothing blocking doors or windows... So that the developer doesn't have to create each room in huge buildings by hand and it is easy to create whole buildings very quickly.

Sounds like Nagoshi might be putting it to use. (just my guess based on what he said)

Sounds like clever tech but I hope he doesn't add "realism" to the games by letting you go in all the rroms in all the buildings with nothing in any of em except beds and wardrobes. That would bore my arse off. Sometimes linearity isn't neccesarily a bad thing. Also on a added note, BRING OUT YAKUZA 3 OVER HERE!

Hope it features both of these things.

Kiryu vs Space zombies! I'd buy that.

Seconded.
I doubt we'll get it either.

I don't think that would be the case, I think the tech just makes a base interior so that it's all set up realistically and they don't have to go to every room and make it individually... Then they can manually go in and add what ever they wanted to the rooms so it makes the development quicker and easier.

Then again he might not be using it at all but it was filed around the time of Shenmues release and the patent was passed this year... So it seems a waste to not use it.

I loved Yakuza 1 & 2.
Hope they don't forget us over here?
Bring back the English voice acting though.... I thought the guy who voiced Kiryu in English did an ace job.

I want a PS3 for these Yakuza games. (FFXIII too)
