Destructoid's regular readers are probably used to me bitching about the lack of a Yakuza 3 US release date for the PS3, but I'm sorry -- I can't stop. This game looks incredible. And this latest batch of screens (courtesy of the always great Gamekyo) does not help with my lusting issue.
Check them out in the gallery below: there's impressive-looking cityscapes, hostess bar visits (hot!), Okinawa street beatdowns, body slams with epic blur effects, and guys getting whacked in the face with a gas tank. Oh, and CVG has a girl-focused gallery of their own, showcasing many more of the lovely ladies of the hostess bars. Now I'm hot for this game in a totally different way!
Sony and Sega, if you f*ck this up, I'll come after you with one of those gas tanks. Give us a US release date -- now.

SEGA NEEDS TO GET THIS HERE RIGHT NOW.
Ever since playing the original Yakuza (still haven't finished, got an article in the works concerning why this series is so damn great) that I've been longing for Kenzan, and now Yakuza 3. This just looks exceedingly awesome, beyond the luscious and sleek graphics, beyond the multiple activities that you can do, the fights now load seamlessly without any pause from running around town.
I WANT THIS ON MY PS3 NOW.
great screens - can't wait for the game, Yakuza 2 on PS2 was already a great game.
She has an elbow as good as Alan Shearer's.
but this on the other hand looks fucking awesome, DO WANT!
