Yakuza 4: Heir to the Legend announced for PS3 in Japan

Yakuza 4 Japanese logo Sega has announced a 4th Yakuza game in Japan called Yakuza 4: Heir to the Legend (Yakuza is called “Ryu Ga Gotoku” in Japan) for PS3. It is once again being helped by series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi.

The game will carry on the tradition of including Japanese celebrity talent in the title. They will contribute in the way of voice acting, motion capture and even music. A Japanese porn star named Tina Yuzuki (aka “Rio”) has even auditioned for a part in the game. Though probably NOT as a porn star.

The game will use new motion capture technology in order to get not only the actors voices but also their movements mapped perfectly into their corresponding character in the game. Other actors who have signed onto the game include Iroki Narimiya and Kenta Kiritani.

The PS3-exclusive will be fully revealed at the Tokyo Game Show 2009 on September 24th, 2009.
