To be fair, there is no direct English name for those two series. They are not all Disaster Report or Yakuza games.

If we're splitting hairs, they shouldn't be called anything because they're both garbage.

trollan!

FWIW Motorstorm was finished and has been indefinitely delayed, the I wouldn't be surprised if out of Yakuza, DR, and Motorstorm one of them goes the way of Propeller Arena.

Leaked for all to enjoy? I hope so.

Motorstorm Apocalypse has already been leaked; there are actually a few retail copies floating around as they got shipped out to customers before Sony pulled the title.

I have a hard time seeing any of those titles getting permanently canned. The math just isn't there for a company to justify canceling a game over the controversy that may ensue.

[kedawa]

No controversy would ensue anyway. Anyone seriously affected by the quake has bigger things on their minds than what video games people are playing.

[Chux]

Right?

Dude, I lost my house and my livelihood, but FUCK THAT YAKUZA GAME.
