Junya Nakano. 1993. Konami.

Before he would compose for Threads of Fate & FFX, he composed crazy hardcore 90s electronic beats for Konami arcade games. Very reminiscent of the legendary Namco Sound Team.

Yes, Tak Hirai who was lead programmer on Shenmue, so is the original game's co-director Keiji Okayasu, the original writer (Script writer) Masahiro Yoshimoto, Hiroaki Takeuchi (Animation Producer), the environmental artist designer (whose name eludes me right now), the concept artist/character arti...

Jerid'sRamenShop, you have been warned for your insulting, and quite frankly, ridiculous comments. Post in this topic no further.

The Dojo will support this initiative.

I was at Monaco, pretty sure I caught Biscay saying to wait for further game events this year such as Gamescom, E3 and others to see the game again. Anybody else that was there please feel free to correct me on that. Everything in that trailer is old hat, so the "issues" with character mod...

Chen has some sort of connection to Yuanda Zhu, Sunming Zhao and Iwao, which is still a mystery, so yeah they should both reappear. Guizhang I predict will be back in Shenmue 4 and in Shenmue 3 it will just be Ren and Shenhua who will accompany Ryo on his quest so far. Having said that, if Guizhang ...

Resurrection: Panzer Dragoon Saga 20th Anniversary Arrangement (Only available Digital now, CD & Vinyl sold out): http://store.bravewave.net/album/resurrection-panzer-dragoon-saga-20th-anniversary-arrangement-2 Music is just as wonderful as it was back in the 90s, the remixes and rearrangements ...

This is such a danceable remix.

Do immersive sims count? Some of my favourite games, definitely my favourite games from Western devs.

Yeah, Naka left Sonic Team just before they went all shitty. Rodea: Sky Soldier was really underrated and Let's Tap was a fun game as well. Never played Ivy the Kiwi but was supposed to be good. Kinda interested what he's doing. Reviving Mischief Makers? Closest Square-Enix IP that would suit him, u...

They are official and are from the Magic Monaco pre-conference, details below: https://www.resetera.com/threads/magic-monaco-2018-24-feb-new-screenshots-gameplay-for-shenmue-3-live-demo-of-vampyr.16808/ They are going to show reveal gameplay details for Shenmue 3 at Magic Monaco as well. Next time c...

Hmmm, I tend to find Demon's Souls overrated by the fanbase nowadays. Dunno if it's nostalgia for it being the first or anything, but that game definitely has the weakest boss battles in the series now next to Dark Souls 2. I think Demon's Souls may have the best level design though (neck and neck w...

Well, for a lot of AAA Western video games anyway (mainly from EA and Activision).

Don't think this will effect Japanese games (AKA the mid-tier lot) or the indie scene.

Like others are saying, they're really their own beast. I suppose the 2D equivalent for Yakuza is the Kunio Kun series (River City Ransom games being a subseries of its own within it), which seem like one of the main inspirations for Yakuza. I'd also say Way of the Samurai series as well, which are ...

Boss fight against Alan Rickman.

And an Alien/Aliens world too? Mariiines!

And an X-Men world?

What about a Simpsons world?

Not anime enough?
