Yakuza: Project K Looks Almighty Pretty For A PSP Game.

They make us sad because a Yakuza title on the Playstation Portable is almost certainly never going to get released here.

As we told you recently, the game ditches usual Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu and replaces him with eighteen-year-old delinquent Tatsuya Ukyou. The kid's been expelled from school and has spent time in a juvenile hall, so he starts fighting the streets of Kamurocho and soon becomes the city's strongest "street fighter".

Unlike other Yakuza games, Tatsuya is not in a gang or mob, instead he encounters an experience which leads him to believing that his "destiny is to fight". A line which was used in the game's first trailer.

The game will have fully-voiced cut-scenes, but they'll be accompanied by still images provided by Spooky Graphics.

There's tons more about the Fall release over at AndriaSang.com. We wished we could play this game, but the chances of localisation are slim to none with the way the Yakuza franchise and PSP software in general sells in the West. Sigh.
