Joy Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Yakuza : New Chapter Black Panther (PSP) Developer: Sega Platforms: PSP Genre: Action / Fighting Release: TBA Another major series has been claimed by Japan's apparent love for portable gaming. After five console outings on PS2 and then PS3, the next platform for Sega's Yakuza series will be the PSP. The title in question was announced last month under the placeholder name of "Project K." Famitsu reveals the game to be a PSP title. In Project K, you take control not of Kazuma Kiryu, but of new hero Tatsuya Ukyou. At just 18, Ukyou isn't entrenched in the mob life like Kiryu. He's just a delinquent who roams the streets of Kamurocho. The magazine got first screens of the game, showing environmental shots, battle sequences and event scenes. The combat and environments look similar to past Yakuza games. Kamurocho has some familiar sights, including the corner Don Quixoti retailer. Ukyou seems to have access to heat action movies -- one of the fundamental elements of past Yakuza combat systems. The event scenes look a different, though. While still fully voiced, Sega is using a different technique to animate these scenes. Tokyo animation studio Spookey Graphics is working with Sega for this area of the game. Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi shared a few comments with the magazine. The game is being brought to the PSP, he said, both because they want to reach younger audiences and because they hope to make use of some gameplay elements that one might expect from a portable system. Regarding the younger target audience, he's putting in a message about living life strongly and being more aggressive. Nagoshi appears to be putting in that message all on his own. He revealed to the magazine that he's writing the game's script. Past Yakuza titles were written by Masayoshi Yokoyama. Yokoyama may not be out of a job, though. Nagoshi also revealed that Project K is being developed by a separate team from the main Yakuza series team. He also provided some hints that the Yakuza team is still working away on a new Yakuza game to follow their work on Yakuza 4.
