Re: If you donated to help Shenmue 3. Please post here.

Selling parts of my Dreamcast collection to raise money, including a spare PAL copy of Shenmue II I got as part of a bundle that I never touched (not selling any of my other Shenmue stuff, though, that's blasphemy!). Thanks to this Kickstarter Shenmue II has really gone up in price!

Re: Kickstarter Update #12 - Vote for your favourite charact

So my votes were as follows-

Fave character- Ren
Reward I'd pay most for- Dragon/Phoenix mirrors
Fave mini game- duck racing


Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Voted the same for all of these, even though I've never gotten round to the duck racing in Shenmue II (need to get on that!). Arm wrestling would have been my 2nd choice, though I'd be curious to see new mini-games.

Dunno what I'd think about being in Shenmue III, "WTF is this mumbling Middle Eastern looking guy doing in Guilin?!"

Re: Response from Joel "The Red Shirt Guy" Tess & Awesome Ja

as much as I would like Corey Marshall back for VO, if only one dub (Japanese) meant more story, more features, more Shenmue I'd take that over having an English dub. I'd remove all the other languages as well and just make the subtitle files in the game modifiable and let the fan community sort out the translations. That would free up almost half a million for other more important stretch goals.

Just leave the entire English dub to Corey Marshall, including Shenhua and every NPC.

Re: My ugly face on a Lucky Hit board

Did they update the Lucky Hit text or did it always say this?

"BE A TECHNIQUE SCROLL LUCKY HIT GAME BOARD

Do you want to be a game of lucky hit? Get your face and name on an in-game Lucky Hit board featuring a Technique Scroll.

+ 50 Lucky Hit Tickets (In-game Item)"

Hmmm, playing Lucky Hit to get Technique Scrolls, don't think I like this idea...

Totally updated. Before it was just the lucky hit face and corey marshall voice. Looks like they saw no one grab it and updated it to include the I AM SHENMUE reward and the tickets too. Still priced too high, should be $2500

I don't even think the I AM SHENMUE was there when I looked at it! Wow, they updated that fast...

Re: Adam Doree leaving Kikizo?

Well, whether or not that 2005 article was a load of bollocks (most likely) or not (unlikely), Doree was almost right about one thing...

"As for Shenmue, I would have to say at this stage, it is worth forgetting about. If all the fans get any rich relatives together and channel it though Dojo perhaps we could buy rights, hire Suzuki (he’d likely say yes) and independently make the game under license from Sega at no risk to them. That is the only way it will get made at this stage I think. "

Re: KS Update #26 - Fan appreciation

Never expected an Iranian to be one of the biggest Shenmue fans, wonder if he first played the game in Iran? I don't remember seeing any Dreamcasts there, PlayStation and Mega Drives were king when I spent summers in Tehran and Isfahan. Hope he smiles seeing an Iranian name on the Choubu Inn register ;)

Re: 2 New Rewards @ $1200 and @ $1400

They seem to be losing the plot it seems and are fixated on the success of the $1500 tier...

..This isn't helpful for the KS..

Well I upped again from $800 to $1200 so something's working :P

If the $1500 included the $1200 then I'd probably stretch to that, too, tweeted Cedric and @Shenmue_3 about it a few times but no response.

Re: KS Update #29 - Dreams Come True - New Rewards

Just noticed the $160 reward has 20 capsule toy tickets, was that always there?

Yea it must have been Amir, because they said that once someone backs a tier they can't change the description for it.

"*Changes to Reward pledge buttons are not allowed after they are pledged for, so please see the "Rewards" section below for complete reward details"

Adding $1200 to all higher tiers, which they could easily do since apart from the physical calligraphy print all this content is just digital would definately mean the rest of those $1500 tiers would be snapped up imo, and then possibly might increase the $3000, and $4000 tiers aswell if everything higher included from the $1200 tier downwards.

I've messaged a bunch of people about this but still no response :/ Like you said, part from the calligraphy print it's all digital stuff so it wouldn't cost much more to implement.

Re: Anyone worried that Yu might listen to the fans too much

Lucas/the Star Wars prequels is a bad example, because that was a case of him having no one say "no" to him and the end result being poor. The original Star Wars script was a boring mess, and the final film was saved by editors including his then-wife Marcia Lucas. It was collaboration with people like Lawrence Kasdan that made Empire Strikes Back and to a lesser extent Return of the Jedi worthy (or in the case of ESB, superior) sequels. I rank Suzuki-san much more highly as a artist than Lucas. While I don't seem as a talentless hack who got lucky like many do, I really don't think Lucas is anywhere near as great as Suzuki-san.

Re: Anyone worried that Yu might listen to the fans too much

Well, Cedric Biscay retweeted me, so...

Cedric Biscay retweeted you
6h: Fans backed Shenmue 3 to see YOUR vision Yu! @yu_suzuki_jp @CedricBiscay

Thank god for Cedric.

This gave me an idea:

We contact Cedric and ask him to suggest to Suzuki a Backer-Poll, the poll would ask something along these lines: "Do you prefer if I shape Shenmue 3's around the fans' ideas and feedback, or would you rather have me go with my original vision for the game?"

Should make Suzuki understand what the fans want from him... We want Suzuki's Shenmue 3.

There's a few areas though where fan input may be helpful, like discussing control scheme options, or maybe gauging interest for a few non-essential mini-games. But for the most part, yes, I think Suzuki-san should stick to his vision.

Re: Sega puts Shenmue I main theme on iTunes (ringtone)

I still don't understand the logic behind Shenmue Online. I think I remember reading it was due to the popularity of Shenmue in China, was the game even officially released there? My first ever Dreamcast in '99 was a Hong Kong model (same as JP but minus modem), but as far as I know the Dreamcast was only available on the grey/black market in mainland China. There wasn't any demand from the fans who did buy the Shenmue games for an MMO, and it's not a property that lends itself easily to the genre.

Btw, did anyone here play Shenmue Gai?

Lol is Yu wearing his only shirt again?


Maybe Yu sold all his other shirts to raise money for Shenmue 3?

Or maybe he chooses to wear a black and white "jail" shirt to symbolize not being free to make Shenmue 3 until now!

Or maybe he's trying to blend in with his French co-producer:

I'd be curious to know if/how long Cantonese was considered for Shenmue II back in the day. IGN ran a rumour saying AM2 were scouting in Japan for Cantonese voice actors but then a few months later ran a story with a quote from Suzuki saying the game would be in Japanese.
