Forums - Sony Discussion - Yakuza 5 confirmed for Game of the Year: All Years

Here are details via Andriasang and gaf of Yakuza 5's 'Another Drama' component.

 

Based off the few details leaking out of Famitsu, it appears that this part of the game presents side-stories for the various main characters. 

Kiryu - Taxi

Your goal in the Race Battle is to avoid other cars and construction areas and get to the goal first. You'll be able to customize your taxi, adding tires, turbos, wheels, body decals, and other items. While driving, you can drift and make use of special moves like "Explosive Race Heat Action" and "Secret Explosive Acceleration."Outside of the Race Battle, you'll also be able to drive passengers to and from their destination. Famitsu shows Kiryu in conversation with his passengers.

 

 

Saejima - Hunting

Saejima's Another Drama is described as "hunting survival." Equipped with a hunting gun, you'll need to use stealth to approach and catch beasts. You'll also be able to make use of traps to catch your prey.


 

Haruka - Dancing

You'll need to help Haruka out in her live performances by playing a rhythm game. This involves tapping circle, triangle, square and X buttons as they move across a cursor. Different from the Hatsune Miku series, the cursor stays in one position. Sokuho says that it looks more like the rhythm-based games in Dream Club.Outside of the rhythm game, you'll need to take part in hand shake meetings, where you use the d-pad to determine Haruka's reaction. You'll also take part in simple quiz programs, respond to magazine interviews, and make talk show appearances. These will contribute to Haruka's idol knowledge.


 

Shinda - Baseball

This, of course, is played like a batting mini game. As you bat, you'll learn skills, gaining the ability to make the ball slow down for instance. Shinada will also meet his former coach and will be able to strengthen his skills even further.

I hope Akiyama's Another Drama is day trading.

Given how much of my life I lost to hunting in Red Dead Redemption, being able to kill animals as Saejima terrifies me.

I guess we know now where the fur hood on his new jacket came from. 



Other sandbox games can't even hold a candle to the side content the Yakuza games have. Saints Row 2 comes close but feels like it's trying too hard.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

They're fantastic games that have suffered from repetition. Yakuza 3 was fantastic, it's one of my favourite games, I didn't have the second one and hadn't played the first in many years. So I got Yakuza 4 and it wasn't as good because it was just too similar.

It really did need a change of setting.
