Have you seen the beautiful irl illustrations on the different threads ? The only thing that could interfere our experience is the lucky hit reward and they are only 2 backers at the moment. Yu Suzuki leads the development, not Joel Tess.

I guess moving from DirectX to OpenGL cost too much money for few sales anyway.

It could be a profitable DLC or Shenmue 4 feature. "Shenmue, the adventure game with a true VS fighting mode inside" sounds pretty attractive for a newcomer.

Sure, there is far more hype surrounding Shenmue and some people would like to give it a try because of it. But we may also lose ...

Beyond what has been said, these things stick me : - Relation between Bailu Village and China Emperors, supposing a lot of marvelous (and secret) stuff to discover. - The mountains of death described in the right painting. " Those who set foot in these mountains have ever returned. " It sm...
