New features
Yakuza 3 introduces PlayStation Network Trophies to the series with 50 trophies. It also add four new gameplay elements as listed below:
•Seamless Battle (シームレスバトル shimuresu batoru): The Seamless Battle is a streaming data-based loading-free system that allows the game to directly connect the adventure mode and the battle mode (called "Kenka") without the usual loading black screen.
•Chase Battle (チェイスバトル, cheisu batoru): Chase Battle is a new battle mode which replaces the regular brawling (Kenka) with a running sequence set in a certain map. Both chaser and chased have a running gauge that decreases as the character runs and or is hurt by someone or something on his way. When the running gauge is empty the exhausted character stops the chase. Somewhere in the game a minor character, Mack Shinozuka will train Kazuma to improve his running performance.
•Revelation (天啓, tenkei): Ten revelations will allow Kazuma Kiryu to learn new Heat Actions (ヒートアクション) in the Adventure mode, it is rather similar to the system introduced in the previous game Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan !. This time Kazuma uses his cell phone built-in camera to record new moves and techniques. These are acquired through hints and incidents spotted in First Person View. Learned Heat Actions are posted on Kazuma's his personal blog, called Kamuroblo, which uses the same template as producer Toshihiro Nagoshi's own blog.
•First Person View: When pressing the Sixaxis/Dual Shock 3's R3 button during the adventure mode the standard third person view switches to a brand new first person view mode. This perspective allows a better observation of the streets and people as well as posters reading, but looking at a distant villain in his eyes using First Person View will provoke him and engage an Encount battle. First Person View is disabled in some indoor places.
