Re: What's Shenmue: Article about the saga's history

Initially centred around Virtua Fighter’s Akira, Suzuki determined that it would be the first truly 3D RPG. Players would talk with fully-voiced non-playable character in the game, and there would be real-time fighting against multiple opponents.

Found one! Fantastic article though. I couldn't even get halfway through it in one sitting.

Re: What's Shenmue: Article about the saga's history

While Sega stopped supporting the Dreamcast with their final release, Karous, for the console in 2007, companies such as Hucast continue to publish games for the Dreamcast to this day, and a dedicated community of indie developers take advantage of the ease of coding for the system as well as it’s lack of software protection to program games for the cult system.

Another! :)

Deus Ex: Revision is finally published!

Deus Ex was my all-time favorite game before I got into Shenmue, so this is extremely exciting for me. This mod has been in the works for years, and repeatedly has disappointed fans with delays and unfulfilled promises of release. With practically no warning, the mod has been cleared and is now available on Steam (I assume that's what the more recent delays were for, since it was technically "done" much earlier into this year).

The rest of my free time for this week is booked. :mrgreen:

1998 IGN article on "Virtua Fighter RPG"

Re: Sega Europe comments on Shenmue

I wasn't expecting them to announce anything until next E3, but if they're already buttering us up like this it means they're either:
- being dicks and getting our hopes up over nothing
- jumping the gun on trying to build hype
- almost ready to reveal something Shenmue related

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

As a kid, I'd see those health advisory warnings before video games and couldn't fathom how anyone could get sick from that.

As an adult, I've since discovered that I'm the type of person who gets nauseous or queasy when playing certain video games. I blame game developers for adding motion blur to everything for "realism".

Motion blur, in my opinion, is disgusting and only inhibits my experience. Maybe if it was done really well I wouldn't mind it, but often times it seems like they just throw it in there because they think it's obligatory and they end up doing nothing to refine it.

Re: Ren's fighting style based on Jacky from Virtua Fighter

In retrospect it should have been obvious that Xiuying's fighting style was based on Akira. Dat elbow strike.

Sure, but Ryo has always been a parallel to Akira. Are we just supposed to consider it a coincidence that he and Xiuying practice the same style? Going by Shenmue II, I wouldn't say they do anyway. This is, after all, just a concept slide from '96.

Where did this slide come from?

Pretty sure it's from the 2014 GDC post-mortem. Never mind, it's from today.

Re: Playing Shenmue blind

Welcome to the Dojo Jordan! An important game element that might prove difficult for you is the first-person lock on system for examining things, opening drawers and cabinets, and picking up objects. Although you could probably go by trial and error with a lot of those, it relies heavily on your position and which direction you're facing. The biggest problem you'll probably run into though, is the quick time events. They make a very distinct sound, but regardless of which button they call for they all make the same sound. You could look up the sequences in advance with a walk through though. Your idea about the movement is correct. If you only hold down up, Ryo will move in a perfectly straight line until he collides with something, at which point he should stop. If you hit down twice, Ryo will turn exactly 180 degrees. As long as you have a good idea of how the maps are arranged, navigation shouldn't be too difficult. I think you'll be able to appreciate the fact that the game is fully voiced more than anyone else. If you can reliably find certain people, they can almost always give helpful information on where to go and how to get there.

Re: How long do you think Shenmue III will be ??

Shenmue is pretty short if you rush and go from A to Z without taking your time here and there.

Shenmue III could (we don't know) last 7-8 hours if you rush for the first time or 30 hours if you take your time to get all the dialogues etc.

Then people will try to do some speedrun and will end up finishing the game in 2-3 hours so it all depends on how you're looking at it.

First playthrough is what matters the most to me. I'd be happy with a 15-20 hours Shenmue III.

Shenmue 1 takes over 8 hours to speed run even with the skip disc 1 glitch. Those work days and unskippable cutscenes really add up.

Why oh why did they change the music (and some of the dialogue) in MGS: Twin Snakes? The best example is the elevator cutscene at the very beginning.

Re: "Metal Gear Solid Creator Takes His Team and Leaves Kona

It's been said plenty of times, but fuck Konami.

I hope Kojima can somehow get the rights to his older IP's, like Snatcher, Policenauts, or Zone of the Enders, but that's likely a pipe dream. Surely he'll make something great though.

Re: What did you all get for Christmas?

What does the PCB with the "QC passed" sticker and what looks like an SD or MicroSD card do? Does the card have 8/16-bit games on? :D

Probably an Everdrive or sonething similar. It's an especially awesome thing to have if it means he can play out of region games.

I'm so jealous of that PC-Duo though. I've wanted to get into PC-E/TG16 collecting, but I don't know Japanese and Turbografx stuff is crazy expensive.

I didn't get too much in terms of material stuff, but I did get a paid-for vacation to Costa Rica (typing this from there, in fact).

With you 100% on that. I don't think I'll ever understand choosing to play a game with Japanese dialogue when you don't know the language, especially in the case of Shenmue, where the whole game is voiced.

Re: Random Shenmue Thoughts

You can hate on the English voice acting of Shenmue II (or I) all you want, but there's no denying that that version of Delin is superior. I'd never played the original Dreamcast version until recently, and was surprised by how dull and depressing Japanese Delin is. Even his grunts suck in comparison.

Re: Songs with Amazin Lyrics

Bah Dah by Gmcfosho

https://youtu.be/TYS1P7BxOOU

Lyrics [Intro: Gmcfosho]
New shoes (x3), fikki fikki, new shoes
New shoes (x3), fikki fikki, new shoes
New shoes (x3), fikki fikki, new shoes
New shoes (x3), fikki fikki, new shoes

[Hook: Gmcfosho]
(Bah Dah!) Soon as I step up in the room (bah dah!)
Still got the paper in the shoes (bah dah!)
Soon as I step up in the room (bah dah!)
Still got the paper in the shoes (bah dah!)
Soon as I step up in the room (bah dah!)
Still got the paper in the shoes (bah dah!)
Soon as I step up in the room (bah dah!)
Still got the paper in the shoes (bah dah!)

[Verse 1: Gmcfosho]
They say them ain't J's
I don't say nothing, I just put em' in they face (like bah dah!)
Took the Litmus paper test, said I'm based (bah dah!)
Lawyer just called, said I'm about to catch a case (bah dah!)
Not court, talking bout' attaché
These haters ain't eating, like a dead Tamagotchi (bah dah!)
Got the longest white shirt, and you know it's clean (bah dah!)
Got a couple white cups, so you know I lean (bah dah!)

Biggest bowl of cereal had the Dakota Ring (bah dah!)
Got it appraised, and I learned I'm the Lord of the Rings (bah dah!)
Heard somebody say the future ain't bright
Jump in they timeline like a ray of light

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Gmcfosho]
Had a dream
Martin Luther King
"Bagillion" different color niggas riding for my team (bah dah!)
Where my trumpets at?
Where my trumpets at?
More class than a school
Where my tea and crumpets at? (bah dah!)
They ask me how I got this swag
They can't find it on Pinterest
I'm weightlifting my bank account
That's bodybuilding interest
This hater said he hate me
Because I don't proofread my sentences
His girl text me "they're breaking up"
But that's none of my business (bah dah!)

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Gmcfosho]
For 10 years, wifey been the same chick
But y'all ain't never seen me with the same chick (bah dah!)
Y'all can catch me sliding up them DM's (like bah dah!)
Got expensive jewelry dangling from my limbs (bah dah!)
Popping bottles so much, had to learn to swim (bah dah!)
Backstroke (splash), Breastroke (splash), Deathstroke (splash), Bestroke (splash) (bah dah!)
Think you can walk a mile in my shoes
Then get yo feet wet
From walking in The Nile in my shoes (bah dah!)

It has a few scenes that are quite graphic, but it gives a very honest depiction of what it's like in the crime ridden city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It's in Portugese of course, but I didn't think that took anything away from the movie. That's coming from a guy who sees subtitled foreign games as a necessary evil. I highly recommend this one.
