I prefer the old one tbh. Looks closer to a real person. More realistic facial features. New one looks like a generic porcelain Japanese anime girl. Not digging it.

This debate about asian beard growing is much more interesting

Interesting. How did a 17 year old come to know of Shenmue?

Most 20 odd year olds have never heard of it until now.

Spot the difference? I found none. Look at those chubby cheeks!...the brown hair, the worn jacket and not so pastey complexion and the face plaster which is actually visible and has been worn also. The adhesive on that thing is amazing. For a guy who eats nothing he's looks a bit porky on the face!...

Thought Ryo looked a little weird in the kickstarter images. So i fixed it up.

Keep them coming guys. These are fantastic. Kyodai, can you not use the renderers program to cast its own shadows on the scene? Also, granted the textures aren't going to be top notch but can you not improve them somehow in photoshop? Perhaps sharpen them up a bit then import them back in? Or replac...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNLKLCZN8wc So glad another one is coming out, I probably don't have to say how awesome Oblivion was. Hope they use a new engine for this one. The Fallout games have rinsed it and it looks horrible. Got a bit of a wait for this though, but hopefully it should be good!

That sounds awesome. There has to be some Shenmue fan out there crazy enough to do it. I would, but I severly lack the talent or patience to pull something like that off. I'm sorta doing the Dojo on my single player map, just to see how it comes out. MP would be easier, cos you can just type in a c...

Cause you're shit

I imagine similar to what Tales Of Monkey Island was like

All before the harbour chapter for me was boring as shit.. Word, after you've completed the game so many times, and you come back for a yearly play, or whatever, and have to do the whole beginning bits again, it does get really boring. I just started it again a week ago and i just did the Charlie i...

Really looking forward to this. The Huey Lewis & The News song towards the end really gets me pumped.
They pretty much sum up the 80s for me

Yeah, you wouldn't be able to do that on this, you'd have to make the areas yourself, out of the blocks you've mined, and the glass that you've made using sand (that you dig up and collect) and coal (which you mine from rocks and use as a fire source). It's quite taxing after a while, but as i said,...

In single player the objective really is...to survive. That's it. But to do so, you have to build, not necessarily a house out in the open, you can build it inside a mountain, you can grow food, you can forge tools, weapons, armour, go fishing and lots more The main point is to mine the land of its ...

Making all the areas of the first game, Hazuki Dojo/Yamanose/Sakuragaoka/Dobuita, shit even the Harbour would be an incredible sight. But i doubt any of the people who would consider it wouldn't been to keen on mining everything to build it. Probably use the 'cheats'. Kinda takes the fun out of it t...
