Re: Lack of Loading Screens? No Loading Screens?

there's an obvious reason to keep the loading screens- the change in music between different areas. it just won't work without the black screen that displays the name of the area you're in.

that being said, i think the environments should be seamlessly built anyway, just so you can see the rest of the environment from different parts of it (i.e see through doorways instead of just a texture there)

Re: Lan Di not even in Shenmue 3??

suzuki said that shenmue 3 will end with an 'encounter with the 4 bosses'




Can you link where Yu Suzuki says this?


Q: Tell us about the stretch goals up to $3.6m?
YS: Firstly, I’ll talk about the stretch goals up until around the $3.6m mark, which are the most basic goals. The stretch goals up to $3.6m will achieve a story-oriented Shenmue. As further goals are reached, the content for various areas will be correspondingly expanded, but even with the story-oriented version, the plot will develop to reach a confrontation with the 4 leaders {of the Chiyoumen}.

Also here in the video, the question comes up about 26 minutes in. He clearly says "Duel against the 4 bosses".

Re: Most shocking Shenmue 2 ending you can think of.

After the cave cutscene, Ryo passes out, and wakes up in his bed, finding that his entire adventure had been a dream... or so it would seem. He gets up, walks to the kitchen and finds Iwao eating breakfast.
Before Ryo is able to gather his wits to think of something to say, the phone rings. He picks up, and hears Shen Hua's voice. She says "you weren't supposed to leave! You have to come back! YOU HAVE TO COME BACK!!! THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE DEPENDS ON YOU!!"
The scene cuts to an exterior view of the house, pans around to show the entrance of the residence, and we see a black car stopping just outside the gate.
Roll end credits.

Lol, no, what he said sounds pretty spot-on to me :D Shenmue isn't a game that any dumb old schmuck should be reviewing.

Re: Do you think you'll die before S3 release?

I think some die hard 'Muers have already died since the release of S2. Including the man, who recorded this here video. One of the best Shenmue piano videos. Makes me sad to think about him not having lived to see S3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN4QFpKauq0

We should all be grateful to be alive and maybe when we play Shenmue 3 I hope that sometimes we will keep in mind that there are some fellow 'Muers who didn't live to see that lifetime dream come true.

Re: What should Ryo's punishment be?

One of the most interesting things about Shenmue for me is the way it influences the player's behavior where there are no explicit rewards or punishments. Caring for the kitten, helping an elderly neighbor, and trying not to worry Ine-san, are all things we're compelled to do because it feels right, not because it affects our progress in the game. Incentivizing these selfless motivations would negate one of the key charms of Shenmue, in my opinion.

Ehm... the helicopter ran out of gas.

He's actually flying, that's why he has to grab the ladder, to keep the helicopter flying. His chi mantains the rope straight.

Nozomi should be pissed.

Hear me out.

You're Nozomi, and you're childhood friends with Ryo. Suddenly, his father dies, not only that, he's murdered. You try to comfort him but the more you try, the more you're pushed away. You try to understand him but he's obsessed on exacting a lone revenge mission, you notice this guy start making more dangerous and careless decisions as the days go by, dragging himself down into a world of trouble. You tell him that soon you'll be leaving for another country, in the extraordinary small chance you can get through to him and have your feelings requited but again, he has his own agenda, he doesn't have time for an old friend who's in love with him for the most part... and then one day you're fucking kidnapped. Because of his dumb careless actions.... but that's not all.

Ryo goes to Hong Kong and immediately upon arriving there he meets some biker who is all over him, making all kinds of innuendo and sexual invitations. Ryo doesn't recuperate these invitations, sure but he does stay in the ComeOver Guest House on her suggestion.

Not long after, he meets his teacher, and sleeps in her apartment.... in the very same room no less! He then enables some kids crush on him by trying to make her happy and debatably even flirting with her, that's insane. why is he even putting thoughts into this poor girls head?

And after that? At in the end of Shenmue 2, he's met some mysterious girl and begins to tell her about his whole life, family, friends, even Nozomi. Opening up and pour his heart out to at total stranger, and then she's making him dinner and imo cooking is a very intimate thing to do so, if you're Nozomi you see this as being very affectionate and you're wondering just why the fuck this guy wouldn't open up to you when he was in Japan, and pissed because in Shenmue 3 he's presumably even living with this girl.

I mean, when Ryo calls Nozomi and tells her what he's been doing in China I think she has a right to be upset. Ryo is kind of an asshole.

Re: How annoyed would you be using the d-pad on the PS4?

I like the style of Shenmue where you use the d pad to walk in a tank style and the camera follows you and stays directly behind you, the whole dual sticks controlling camera in a 360• way isn't somthing i want in S3, maybe I'm just used to the way s1 and 2 control and i know the game control the way it does because the DC didn't have a 2nd stick but i still want S3 to play like 1 and 2 or give us an option, either way, I'm hoping for dpad movement in some way

Honestly, I don't mind about controlling Ryo with an analog stick.
On the other hand, I totally agree with you regarding the camera stick. IT SHOULD NOT BE A 360° WAY!!! The camera control that we currently know in Shenmue is an important part of immersion and core of the FREE mode . It should stay 180° way like a real human looking around him, with possibility to focus on specific items with a trigger. But no more, I really don't want a 360° camera à la GTA/Yakuza/etc which would not be "Shenmue-style" and would totally alterate the experience.

Re: [SPOILERS AHEAD] And if all the cave mess was a dream ?

Perhaps it will end up like one of those cheesy TV programs where Ryo will wake up in a psychiatric hospital, believing that he is a martial arts expert avenging his father's death, when in reality he was just a forklift driver at the docks.

Shenmue 3 could switch between Ryo on his adventure in China and Ryo in the psychiatric hospital - we're never quite sure which reality is the real one...

Re: Random Thoughts

What do you mean, federal funds? Trump is gonna make Japan pay for Shenmue 3 and 4! That's ike the least Japanese tax payers can do to make up for Toyota, Honda and so on destroying American auto industry. If those Japs want to sell any more Toyotas on the US market, they better cough up the money for Shenmue! :D

Re: I contacted YS Net on Kickstarter

Forget it.

I'm being a cunt to both KLM and Anon. I was making the point of it not being a good idea to message YSNET over something small, but it's came out venomously for reasons not to do with Shenmue or the forums.

I'm gonna be gone for a while, and the Twitch streams may be stopping too. Take care folks.

It's okay Peter, we all have bad days and none of us are perfect. You are a valued and respected member of this community, and I am someone who forgives instantly once conflict abates FWIW. *Shakes your virtual hand.*

I'm sorry for challenging what you said, I just felt it was unnecessary was all.
