Only for about 30 mintues. I ran around the first area talking to random people. Here is an example of the downsampled audio in the 99 minute version. Please note that not all NPCs sound like this, the free speech seems better than the cutscenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsGN4txlNY4 Sorry fo...

Is it just not possible to fit the audio without downsampling it? I'm guessing the original xbox files are quite large due to them having a lot of space to work with on DVD at the time? I'm not sure, myself. I know that Shenmue II has a bit of unused and useless assets and whatnot that can be remov...

Erm. I just ordered it directly from the site that doof_warrior posted. There was only one shipping option for international, so I took the $37 hit. Didn't see any other choice, really.

I'm currently playing the 80min version myself (thanks for your hard work, SM1TH). And what I've noticed is the sound qu...

It's depressing reading all these success stories, lol. I was 14 in '99 when I first played Shenmue. 16 or 17 when I played the sequel on the Xbox. I am now 29, and will be hitting dirty thirty in less than a month. There's been a whole book of events and changes. I never finished college, though, a...
