People are so impatient, of course there was nothing to show at PSX! Pretty much everything shown there is releasing in the next year and has fully playable sections to demo. Those games have all been in development for 12-24 months whereas Shenmue just started production a few months ago. They can'...

It may still be a small sample but it appears that most people want to open the Kickstarter-exclusive items to Paypal backers. I fully agree, anything to help the Paypal campaign is a good thing. In fact, I'd prefer all game content be printed on the disc rather than some people get digital content ...

At this point, we're mostly getting general updates on development so I'm still following it closely. I like seeing the screenshots and it will be really exciting when we first see a little bit of gameplay with HUD and everything. Being a small project with a small team, I imagine spoilers will be m...

It absolutely will not happen if we don't get the remasters and even if we do, I don't think it would be likely. I hope they find a way though as I really like the option of carrying over your save. Even if there was an issue with bringing over the licensed capsule toys and the moves were no longer ...

Misleading title but they are going to give a progress update with new test shots next week. Can't wait!!

I'll take a little texture pop-in over my forklift suddenly stopping dead for no reason only to see a kitten fade in.

The Xbox version is probably a little better, at 1:47, for instance, you can see the lighting effect that you don't have on the Dreamcast version. There are little touches like that throughout the game. Personally, I prefer the Dreamcast version since you can carry your save over and a Sega console ...

I'm glad Corey Marshall is coming back. He deserved it for being such a strong supporter of the community over the years. Outside of that, I really don't care. Even though I have the Xbox version, I've always played the Dreamcast version of Shenmue II so I'm not familiar with the English cast of She...

I backed for a tier that included the calling card but I'm against special paid content of any kind in Shenmue. If I possess a copy of the disc and game content is on it, I should be able to access it. If it's extra downloadable-only content, then that's even worse because we should be able to archi...

It's niche now because the only people still interested are nut cases like us who've been chasing a phantom game for 14 years! :D Back when the Dreamcast came out, Sega sold a ton of consoles in the early days. Lots of people were looking forward to Shenmue and the hype was off the charts. Shenmue I...

I've always cheated on the money but I think on my next play, I'll do it legitimately to maintain the realism. There's one dice game stall that lets you double your money on one roll. It's pretty easy to get more money than you'll ever need using the save trick at that stall.

I read somewhere that surveys will be sent out later on in the development process. Presumably, the surveys will be different depending on the reward tier. For instance, my tier came with the choice of platform, choice of distribution method, and also a choice of t-shirt size (maybe other things, I ...

Do you not know any friends or family who have/will have a PS4? They might be willing to let you borrow it for a week in exchange for your Xbox or maybe even just to be nice. Alternatively, if you start saving now, you could very comfortably save a little at a time and just buy a console when Shenmu...

I'm excited to see screenshots and gameplay footage but only because I'm interested in seeing the general look of the characters and environments. Beyond that, I don't want to know much, I just want to sit down and play it.

I had a unique experience because I was able to get the free tickets to Sony's E3 live show at a local movie theater. So, there I was, sitting among strangers and I knew from the very first violin note played over the still-black screen. I shouted aloud in the theater but it didn't seem to have much...
