The latest issue of Famitsu magazine has unwrapped some fresh info on the battle system in SEGA’s hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 adventure sequel, Yakuza 3.
According to the publication, players can expect a far smoother transition into a battle environment, with enemies now able to evade confrontations if they chose to (as can you, naturally)
Further enhancements include the new “Chase Battle” option, allowing you to pursue your target while avoiding various obstacles along the way. Meanwhile, the game’s fighting arena will play host to a new “tag tournament” mode, where you’ll find yourself teaming up with another combatant in order to dish out some co-op based punishment.
Yakuza 3 is scheduled to hit Japan on PlayStation 3 in Spring 2009. A western release has yet to be announced.
