Yakuza 5 - Ryu no taxi driving, bear shooting & street dancing

[Annubis]

May as well finally make this topic as there will probably be a couple of videos incoming.

New trailer showing the taxi driving:

- Driving is manual, not QTE only (like most people assumed).
- You get to pimp yo ride.
- (Driving on the left side of the road will be really awkward if this get localized in the Americas =P)

New trailer showing hunting/survival:

Next sneak peek should be about Haruka's dancing.

I can already see reviewers complaining that taxi driving is tedious because they want to drive around like in a regular sandbox, and thinking this hunting thing is out of place.

That word scares me in this context.

The game looks really nice up to now.

Haruka's whole segment just seems out of place and out of character.  If this was how they were going to make her a playable character then I wish they didn't.

True, a Haruka who knows some martial arts would have been way better.

I'll miss Tanimura =(

Well, I don't think anyone expected that, huh?

Are they localizing this game?  I am a huge Yakuza fan.  I even enjoyed Dead Souls.  When I went to Japan last month I held a copy of Yakuza 5 in my hands.  If only I could read Japanese.  On a somewhat related note, I went to a Don Quixote store over there.   It is a pretty cool store with everything you can imagine there.

A Don Quixote STORE?

Everything relates to the book?
