I think we tend to forget that extreme violence like this has always existed. Since we have the media now, all these incidents seem connected to eachother instead of just a series of isolated incidents. I honestly believe if we didn't glorify these stories and feature them 24 hours a day, we wouldn't have major incidents like this as often. They need to just localize the story and make it as boring as possible in the newspaper and tv coverage.

We all know the section of Shenmue related items / collections here on the forums.

But is there a overview / database available with all Shenmue related items Available?

For Example:
Games TM, Year 2010, Issue 12, Ryo Hazuki in the spotlights


Sometimes, there are great issues about Shenmue, but sometimes, they doesn't arrive at the Dojo community.

It should be great when someone can make some database, maybe included with demo discs like the dreamon wat number, what year), and maybe other magazine related items.

By the way, I would love any feedback you guys may have or any design ideas you may have thought of (I have plenty!).

Thanks for your time :mrgreen:

i know your trying to make money but it would be nice if you had this design for download as a jpg. so members could have there own printed up or make them their self (print out, iron on transfer)

Sure, that's not a problem. Here you go:

If anyone would like to add the image to the Dojo gallery, then you are more than welcome to. It's about time I gave something back to this site ;-)

aw yeah.

Its a Shenmue 2 sticker. I have bought some Shenmue 2 items in the past and these were included. Perhaps given away with a magazine, or included at some game stores when the game was bought, but its a 3 inch by 2 inch sticker

Kojima getting "mature" and "taboo" on our arses with the new MGS! What could this mean? Personally I still rate MGS 1 as being the pound for pound most mature MGS game, not that the other games didn't have poignant moments, it's just that they were usually a tad more jarring and harder to take seriously in the context of all the other extreme ridiculousness or overblown indulgence (things that I did like too, to be honest) that they were caught up in.

I like the way Koj is talking though, even if it doesn't turn out as "taboo" as he's hyping it (I find it unlikely that it will be), it sounds like he's got his creative juices flowing.

Poor Scotty. He's gotten so senile he thinks he's aboard a Galaxy class starship.

Looks like he shit himself.

Hi Shenmue fans !
Let me clarify this for you. After a travel of 1200km made just to meet Yu, I was in Monaco this weekend, where I met Richard ( rdk_nl ) from this board. He filmed me when I asked this question http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p3PjvKA7m0 that was misinterpreted since...

The question was " If Mr. Suzuki ends up being unable to find the financial resources or the good circumstances to develop Shenmue 3, would it be possible to him to decide to finish the story as an Anime in 3D, or even cheaper : as a book ".

His answer was, if I can relate to the translator (really not sure about that) : " Maybe, it's a possibility... Even in that form, I would like to make some more Shenmue ".

2 things :

1. With the conference translation, I still don't know if Yu Suzuki means that "Even in that form...some more Shenmue" means : "If I wanted to do it, I would not make one episode, but a series of anime or books" or "If I chose to release Shenmue on those medias, I would still want to release more Shenmue as a videogame". Maybe one of you japanese speaking fans might translate Yu's answer there, it would be really nice ;-) .

2. I never said anything about a "manga", I spoke about a book (refering in french to the word "romancé" that relates to a novel, a written adaptation of the original script). I hope it's been well translated to Yu Suzuki. It's that french journalist who made the connection between an Anime and a manga book, not me.

Let's hope we'll have something concrete in the near future... Thank you !

Shenmue: Fuck Grammar, give me a sequel .

May I interject with an awesome image?

Our beloved 'OutRun' designer holding a copy of Kavinsky's album 'OutRun'. Perfect. Taken at the Monaco Anime Game Show, so relevant.

That is all.

I really hope that at some point in the future Yu Suzuki gives an honest and open interview about the real state of Shenmue, and also many of the details about what happened behind the scenes that after all these years we have no idea about.

What really happened with Shenmue online and why was it ultimately cancelled?
Why did they decide to make an online mmo pc-only game instead of going straight onto making Shenmue 3?
Was Shenmue 3 ever in development? If so how much of the game was developed?
Have you really planned out the whole story?
Did you believe that you would be able complete the series on dreamcast?
Is it true that HD ports of the games were in development? if not then has sega ever mentioned the possibility to you?
What do you really feel about the north American exclusivity deal of Shenmue 2 on xbox? (I don’t think he liked it)
Did sega ever consider porting Shenmue 1+2 to the PS2?
If it is not possible to produce a game to conclude the story would you consider concluding the story via a book, comic or animation?

Where is all the Shenmue production materials used to make the games? Eg. The busts of the all the characters, the 1000’s of pieces of artwork that were produced, the unreleased game content like ‘The boat’, the saturn version? I’m hoping all this is somewhere safe.
If the games are not released will this content be made public at some point?

There are probably many more question I could come up with, but these ones come to me immediately.

I am sure Yu Suzuki has some great stuff to tell us, but he is holding it all back for fear of offending people at sega.

asking question about the story would be interesting but Yu clearly does no want to ruin the story for us in case the game ever does get released. i could understand him being unwilling to reveal story information but if its true that he was unable to do so because he forgot, that does seem strange.

ones starts to wonder how motivated Suzuki is to ever producing the final game?
