FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Some guy at Sega got our panties in a wad the other day by saying that Yakuza 3 would never come stateside. Examiner has updated their original heartbreaker, clarifying that this certain marketing man's comments were not official Sega statements. So does this mean that there's still a chance?
Well, you know Sega. Yeah, that whole Shenmue thing -- remember that? Still, after this debacle, Siliconera asked a Sega PR rep that worked on Yakuza 2 about the possibility of Yakuza 3 coming our way.
"We have no confirmation on whether or not Yakuza 3 is coming over to the states," he says.
That's not the greatest response, but at least it isn't a door slamming in our faces. It just seems like we're talking in circles now, so we'll shut up until we hear something official. It was worth it, though, if only to see BluDesign's hilarious/dickish Yakuza 3 JP photos in the comments section of our last story.

Cock tease, thy name is Sega.
Just having this conversation in the office now. It was definitely foolish.
It could just be a PR stunt to gauge interest.
Just sayin'
I was just thinking the same thing. Who the eff is the Examiner anyway?
Hey Dale, you shouldn't forget to mention the Trophy for visiting a massage parlor. It's a real highlight of the gameplay.
Also, glocks.
amidoinitrite?
I never lost hope. Now bring it to Europe.
yes, but no. It shares many similar traits to Shenmue, but it's totally different and plays more like a gta clone with a smattering of rpg upgrady bits.
Is there any reason why Sega would confirm the death of US Yakuza 3? What else are they gonna say? 'Yeah, we killed it. We know, we're all-caps fucking cunts." (see last dtoid Yakuza 3 article)
"we're all-caps fucking cunts."
Hah I like that. I'm gonna steal it.
