Okay, realism is a nonissue to pick apart here. If you are so much of a stickler that one of your complaints is that the people would be more likely to speak English than Japanese, then you probably should just not play Shenmue II past the Dou Niu fight, because realism lies out the window once you...

If true, strange that this would be the IP they go after. Silent Hill has never really been that profitable, especially after the first two games. Most have been considered financial failures. I also figured Sony had some hand in it being a PS4 exclusive, guess not. No way in hell would they have b...

That would be so awesome if true. I highly doubt that given Konami's recent apology And it's sworn care for the franchise. Contradictions aside, fingers crossed =)

I don't get why there all the talk about the Vinyl has to be so Koshiro centric... That's only natural, as Data Discs is collaborating directly with Koshiro on this. I really wish Ryuji Iuchi, Mitsuyoshi and others were on board too but well... On another note, it seems Data Discs is already planni...

Good one, but seriously... With the resurgence of abandoned IPs in these last few years and the ever strong community support, Shenmue will eventually get its due, at least a HD treatment.

Best ending to an episode yet. I agree. I've been waiting for this moment since season 1, and it was so satisfying that I do not care if my week turns out a turd because I'll be smiling thinking of this episode. It was that good to me :lol: Of course now Sansa is going to finally go full on evil ps...

It's about 31 USD + shipping. You can pre-order any of the editions at any time while stocks last, so it's not only available at that date.

Whenever I play the game, there's a strong Japanese drama vibe going on with Shenmue's story. It is very pronounced specially in the first game with the scenes between Ryo and Nozomi. In the English version the atmosphere between them seems so miserable, as if both were very depressed. So quality as...

As Konami is bailing out of the AAA gaming industry to focus on mobile/free-to-play and gambling business (Japan recently legalized casino gambling), other major Japanese game companies will likely follow suit. This means no more jaw dropping efforts like Metal Gear Solid 5 and Shenmue coming out of...

Here's the sample music for the upcoming vinyls: https://soundcloud.com/datadiscs I'm no music junkie or sound aficionado, but the remastered tracks sound amazing! I can't stop listening to them. I read that Yuzo Koshiro collaborated with Data Discs on remastering the new releases, so I see a genuin...

Does windows 8 really give better performance in games over 7 for being so light weight? I hear it was designed for cell phones so by the time they got it working on desktops it was running with hardly any resources. Still running 7 myself. Given compatibility and whatever games are being made now ...

In memory of Brosauce

The version differences may be negligible but if I was to stick to one, the Dreamcast version is the winner. The artistic integrity was compromised in Shenmue2x as mentioned before. Textures were modified for no apparent reason and a lot of the signs/billboards removed. That gave Hong Kong a cleaner...

Not happening unfortunately. This is a hoax, not a rumor. I fell for it too.

This forum should set a curfew.
