Yakuza: Of the End Demo is up on Japanese PSN

If anyone is a fan of the Yakuza series, the latest Yakuza: Of the End demo is up on the Japanese Playstation Network. If anyone is interested, but seems kinda cheesy, some bits will remind you of the House of the Dead series.

thanks going to go download it

Thanks for the heads up. Gonna have it downloading while I'm in class.

I have to say, the background of the Japanese PSN store is pretty awesome.

Anyone mind telling me how to get on the Japanese store. Don't normally use other stores.Tetrarch9

I've tried it. Camera wasn't comfortable but you'll get used to it.

Make sure you check on game setting. There are 2 modes for button assignment. Difference:

A mode(classic):

• L1 = reload
• L2 = partner button
• R1 = lock on
• R2 = manual aim
• Square = fire/shoot

B mode(shooter):

• L1 = lock on
• L2 = manual aim
• R1 = fire/shoot
• R2 = partner button
• Square = reload

You might want to invert horizontal/vertical axis (row number 2 and 3 in setting). Fiddle with 3rd or 4th last option(can't remember) if you want to enable skipping cutscene.

While in manual aim, control your aim with left stick instead of right stick. You can't move while in manual aim mode. Don't forget to upgrade some skills in abilities menu. One of them allows you to quickly aim for headshot.

Other things you can do in demo:

• Date a girl(Theater Square), both of you will go to hot spring, play table tennis then visit hostess club.
• Panchiko
• Bowling

Does anyone know how to get past the weapon dealer part of the demo? I couldn't get past it. I talked to sales guy about the different weapons and to other guy by the stairs but I couldn't trigger an event to get the game to move forward.

Go to your menu and equip any weapon to your weapon slot. You'll get some notification with sound then talk again to the guy who told you to visit weapon dealer and pick 2nd option.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll sure to check it out :P

freaking awesome i hope it comes to n/aelbert_b_23

The demo has lots of gameplay, it could possibly pass as full game in its own right lol. I did enjoy it but the camera and the controls were just painful for shooting. And at this one point in the game where Im with these 5 guys I was totally stumped because I couldn't leave the building, and everyone was speaking Japanese, I was like "DO YA SPEAK IN A ENGLISH!" lulz. After 20 mins of messing around I decided to map the weapons to different analogue presses and then I was allowed to leave with the guy wearing the Hawaiian shirt. Yeah it's good but I much preferred the demo of Yakuza 4 and I can't wait to get the game later this month.

I loved the demo; it reminded me a lot like L4D and Dead Rising.I liked that they kept melee attacks (being able to grab stuff like bikes, chairs, etc). Also, it looks like the game will have a good amount of depth - bunch of abilities and upgrades to choose from. Heat attacks looked pretty awesome, especially the one where Akiyama shoots at the car's gas tank.

The mini-games basically play the same as before; I didn't know that once you get more points in ping-pong, the girl's robe opens up a bit more. My only problem with the demo was the camera; it can be a pain at times.
