Re: Yu Suzuki talks about Shenmue 3 and memories

Everything sounds really good from the interview, however this part... " You have to remember that all the city / village residents in 1 & 2 had a "real" simulated life, thats a really complicated and tough quest and the budget for Shenmue 3 is probably not big enough to do that ...

Re: Random Shenmue III Thoughts

Ren either sacrifices himself or betrays Ryo in a way that he's forced to kill him. I kind of think that with Yu Suzuki's statements about Ryo not being driven by revenge later in the story, and how much the theme of the games themselves seems against the idea of Ryo killing Lan Di to avenge his fa...

Re: "Unlike Shenmue II it won't use the Virtua engine."

oh wow original xbox games online? i'd love to see what people that never played Splinter Cell 2's multiplayer would think of it today. i remember it being the most brutal game to play online, ever. people were fucking good at maximizing the advantages of their camera perspective and exploiting the ...

Re: Yu Suzuki: "I can make the whole game you imagined"

Well it was a net-negative and wasn't there some crazy statistic out there that everyone who owned a dreamcast would of had to buy two copies of shenmue for it to of been profitable? I wonder if Sega even intended from the beginning for Shenmue to make any money and instead was developed to be a sh...

Re: Yu Suzuki: "I can make the whole game you imagined"

Shenmue wasn't a flop, Shenmue II was, because of Xbox exclusivity. Microsoft basically killed Shenmue when they made Sega cancel the North American Dreamcast release, although because of the console's discontinuation and launch of PS2, a worldwide Dreamcast release probably would've sold about as m...

Re: Yu Suzuki: "I can make the whole game you imagined"

I'm pretty sure the resources from the production on Shenmue III, and the fact that IV wouldn't face any obligation to radically improve in scope and graphics unlike big franchises like Uncharted or GTA, makes the future of the series as an indie title pretty safe. if the fanbase loves the game, the...

Re: Poem In Thousand White Church

it's probably filler that they didn't put much time into. 90% of the text found in the in-game environments are in Kanji, and they probably thought hey it's a church so English text fits better, and nobody at the time knew enough English to write an actual poem and it wasn't worth the effort anyway,...

Re: "Zhu Yuan Da" or "Yuanda Zhu"? | Character Names in S1 v

in both China and Japan, names are ordered by family name first and given name second. the proper translation convention in English is to keep the name order for Chinese names, but switch the name order to Western style for Japanese names. Hence, Ryo Hazuki and Zhu Yuan Da are the proper translation...

Re: What would make you not play the game?

with full respect to Corey Marshall, whose performance in the first game is definitely nostalgic and kind of iconic, I probably won't play it without Japanese voices. I'd rather wait for an undub. I guess I'd still pay for the game to support them. but I am not playing through a dub. especially not ...

anyway do you know if Naoyuki's bike was based on an actual model like Joy's was?

Re: Ryo's Accessories

nevermind, misread your post. hadn't realized there weren't any watches that looked like the T43371 in the 80s. i kind of assumed the T43371 was a vintage style watch when it came out. although i guess analog watches hadn't radically changed all that much between 87-99. there's nothing that breaks t...

Re: Ryo's Accessories

I'm aware. But Ryo bringing things that have no place in rural China could very well be a thing. It's a video game... realism is considered, but not rigidly adhered to. Haven't you played the games?! Ha. how do you know so much about the games if you haven't played them anyway? and in terms of peri...

Re: Ryo's Accessories

a cell phone from Japan would be useless in rural China! in any case they were expensive, and somewhat pointless to have because there weren't many cell towers even somewhere like Japan, and 99% of people you'd call were using land lines anyway. a pager would be equally useless in Shenmue III. And R...

Re: Ryo's Accessories

Sorry but suggesting Ryo use a smart phone has got to be the most idiotic idea I've ever heard. Are you sure you played the original games? I remember there was someone who was adamant that the virtua fighter games should be in shenmue and it wouldn't be weird. i think it's weird that people would ...
