Re: PlayStation Experience: LIVE DISCUSSION 10:00am PT / 6pm

I dont think that sony will show anything of shenmue III untill the next e3. Suzuki must do a great trailer of the Game for the next e3.

The only hope was for HD-Remakes of the old two shenmue-games. It was not realistic, but it could have happen ...

Personally, I did not like this event very much. Uncharted 4, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom are looking great. But the rest was not very good. And Paragon - the MMO at the end - looks like nothing special. ](*,)

Re: PAYPAL SUPPORT FOR SHENMUE 3 NOW LIVE!

I'm pretty sure they're busy working on the game and right now the Paypal campaign is not a huge concern. They have their funding to work with and they're treating anything extra now as icing on the cake.

There's really nothing inherently wrong with that... Reviving Shenmue is a big task and this is now an Indie project. Resources and time are limited and I'm sure Yu Suzuki and his team are working as hard as they can.

Thinking about new rewards and marketing ideas may seem like a good idea, but I'm sure Yu Suzuki wishes to put his time and energy into completing the best game he can, with the budget he has and not have to then worry about the manufacturing of other merchandise for backers.

It's best to accept the funding that has been raised and be happy that all our dreams of Shenmue 3 happening is now a reality. I don't think stewing and getting angry because you think raising more money would be a piece of cake (it wouldn't be) will help.

And for the record, I can't think of any Slacker Backer campaigns that had huge marketing campaigns, lots of new reward tiers and made loads of money. They're usually treated as an added extra there for people who missed out in the original campaign.

Re: Kickstarter Monthly update

February seems just around the corner, considering we have almost exactly 2 years to go until release. The Ryo model in the recent update (glossy jacket one), already looked different to the E3 model, so I imagine it's probably been updated somewhat since then. Wonder if it's now unrealistic to expect anything new from PS experience, after we got the monthly update yesterday.
I personally can't see any difference in Ryo's model in the latest update. The last update's model did look better than E3 though, but again, there's no telling how old that is either. That model looked fine in some of the Famitsu shots so maybe it was a matter of perspective. For example: http://i.imgur.com/6INi4YX.jpg

They definitely need to darken his skin and hair a bit though. Looks too Caucasian currently.

But it is.

To demonstrate notable progress each month through characters or environmental models without giving away spoilers is tricky.

Putting together a presentation of this month's work is still work from someone who's actively developing.

Don't sweat it.. There wouldn't be smiles all round when Sony visited if YsNet & Neilo weren't making good progress.

Re: Nocon Kid visits Dobuits St. in Yokosuka (Facebook Photo

If an agreement was in place with Sega to produce HD remakes of 1&2, would they not have held back on crowdfunding 3 to see how those sold first? It would be a lot easier to get investment for a sequel to games that were recently re-released.

Re: Sales for Shenmue 4

Can we guess how many will likely buy this game considering it's so niche? Let's consider the popularity of the PS4 and it's ever growing console user base, which will likely be around 50-60 million by 2017. Then there's PC gaming and steam platform which provides a easy digital distributional platform.

The fanbase hype will only take it so far. This includes word of mouth and sharing multimedia on popular sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. As a third party title let's also factor in how Sony is going to promote this game. Assuming we get some really eye catching cinematic teasers/trailers at future E3 shows. Also consider the possibility of Shenmue 1/2 HD by SEGA which we think might happen.

Taking all this into account what should be our most realistic expectations? Will it be enough to guarantee a Shenmue 4?

That's the real question, isn't it? I asked a good friend of mine who is an economist in training and had him run over the sale figures. He says that "The Shenmue series is not widely known and although it has a die-hard audience it'll do mediocre in sales and will likely break even. Though it depends on the actual game; if it appeals to a wider audience or is designed in a way to attract a mainstream audience it has the chance to surge. If it's designed for the hard-core players in mind then it'll make just enough to cover the costs."

His interest in it is only because I have interest in it. So really we'll just have to see the direction Team Yu goes with this game and how it's molded.

Let me put my translating skills to use.

It means: "I ain't gonna do shit for Shenmue but please love me. I'll only take a stand on things that graphs allow me to love and I have no imagination. If I was a bird I wouldn't use my wings; I would crawl with my beak through the dirt. Sometimes it is cold at night."

I think the Dreamcast did poorly mostly because of Utopia and CD Burning. I don't have any statistics to back that up and am going purely on anecdotal evidence here when I say this but everyone I knew who had owned a dreamcast did this.

I don't think piracy has ever hurt hardware sales. On the contrary, it helped the first PlayStation to become as huge as it did. Being able to get the games for free wouldn't really be something that speaks against buying a console, would it? It might have hurt software sales and SEGA as a whole though, to whatever extent.

Very bad marketing, bad business decisions, no EA Sports games, not much mainstream appeal, great alternatives (PlayStation 2) on the horizon, bad timing, bad luck - there are many reasons why the Dreamcast failed. There simply weren't enough people who gave a damn about it, despite it being a damn fine console.

Re: Shenmue 3 can't promise 60fps but can promise sexy girls

I actually am an advocate of better gender representation in games. (Don't eat me.) But y'know... Yu Suzuki is nearly 60 years old, and is very, very out of touch with current industry trends and thinking (by his own admission, so that's not me disrespecting him.)

What trend ? To clickbait ? The same people that won't give a shit about Xiuying being the most intelligent/powerful character in SII, are the ones that will complain about joy's tits. It's not about representation it's about polarizing the market so they can get constant revenue.

Different characters have different attributes, some people just like to stir shit because it will sell, and there will be money in getting the sheeple caught (in a marketing sense).

I would want to know what happens in the mind of those writers (rewriters actually). Do they think they're doing a good job (they got the important info on the title?), they think they're just doing what they can to grab clicks ?, they're cynic bastards that just care about creating controversy ?

Re: Shenmue 3 can't promise 60fps but can promise sexy girls


I don't personally mind the depiction at all. But then, I'm male, and not really the one who would be impacted by the depiction. Even among women, not everyone will mind it either. But for those who do, I advocate their right to voice concerns about it - just as I advocate Yu's right to depict his characters however he wants - I actually feel Shenmue has some decent to good depictions of women personally. But I think a lot of women would like to see characteristics other than simply "strong and beautiful" in video games.
...
So with that said, I will bow out of the discussion again.

There is nothing inherently wrong with what you're writing. In fact these are noble aspirations for anyone seeking suffrage.

But please do not fall in the trap of a headline crying sexist / misogynistic game when in context for Shenmue, these are adamantly untrue. They have not been sexist in the past and I don't doubt Suzuki will remain consistent with his portrayal of women for the future.

While "strong and beautiful" may be present in Shenmue, it is certainly not sexist as portrayed by the gaming mainstream press.

Moreover, if marginalizing was an angle to take, then Shenmue, it's fans and it's creator are the ones constantly being marginalized.

This insanity of "representation in videogames" leads to creators avoiding making female characters because god forbids if they create one that is sexy or cute. On the reverse of the coin, we also have a bunch of bland token female characters too in order to please the uberprogressive crowd.

Re: Shenmue 3 can't promise 60fps but can promise sexy girls

Who cares if Niao Sun is a sexy and attractive lady ? That won't make it a bad game nor a bad Shenmue.

Everytime there's a news about Shenmue, some "journalists" tend to pick up some specific parts only and this result in something completely different from the original content.

Regarding the 30/60 fps, all I can say is that I'd rather have a stable 30 fps than an unbalanced 60 fps. With less than 10 millions, we cannot expect everything to be perfect. And some people have to remember that few months ago, we were still waiting and praying for a Shenmue III. Now that it's finally happening, I just can't understand why some are already whining about fps while the game is far away from it's release date.

We are finally having Shenmue III and it's just awesome. Will the game be 30 or 60 fps ? I will care about that if I notice some problems while watching gameplay videos.

I can agree but there's no perfect game, there's always something lacking.

People were whining that Shenmue III wouldn't bring an ending, some were fine with it and wanted the full version. Same goes with graphics. Since Yu Suzuki said he wouldn't focus too much on the graphics part, people started whining. And now that we're talking about 30/60 fps when the game's development has just started, they still find a way to say something about it.

I will wait around one year or mid-2017 before judging. I don't even know if we could call Shenmue III an "alpha" as it is right now. So there's a long way to go. :happy:

And let's forget who Yu Suzuki is. I wouldn't even worry about Shenmue III being an "unworthy piece of crap". ;-)

The 60 fps could have been sweet for the combats and the Shenmue cinematographic style which uses constant travelling. But otherwise, the critics come mainly from people who have no clue about the franchise or hardware in general. Journalists like to put this forward because the framerate is part of visuals, and visuals are the most affordable subject for everyone.

Sure, you'd want everything in a game to look good, including women. Same goes for films. Women in films also tend to look better than your average woman you meet in daily life. There's nothing wrong with it.

How do I put it? I was just trying to say that I really did feel attraction to female characters in video games when I was younger. I now can still find a Hollywood actress attractive but a polygon model just really doesn't do anything for me anymore. I guess I'm too old for that. A game offering or not offering sexy "girls" is just irrelevant to me.

I thought it was the same for everyone but I guess it isn't. Anyway, I just hope Yu does what he puts his mind to and won't allow any Western sociologist's "smart" ideas about political correctness influence his work. Yuan being turned into a female in the Western versions of S2 was a major bummer to me already.

Yeah the only real difficult part about Japanese I would say is the Kanji. The words aren't too complicated and the kana is fairly simple although I guess there are quite a bit more to learn than letters in the latin alphabet.

People who have learned Japanese have told me that minus the kanji it's fairly simple as far as Asian languages go and from what I've learned myself I agree so far. Also luckily they have a lot of stuff that have kana options or kana written besides the kanji so you can wait until you have pretty decent verbal skills before fully learning the Kanji.

No it's not. English is harder. You can learn kana in a week. If pressed, 2,000 kanji in six months. The grammar is flexible and simple, and words are easy to pronounce because they're consistent.

I wrote a guide on how to learn Japanese without taking a single class. You can read it here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oVDcceI8S_yw2kKEQs6uDfJ6L7IBx2btZjpTSRM8iNc/edit

the Japanese language was never designed to allow complex interactions with people

Re: NoconKid (Shenmue HD) working on Shenmue III :)

Japanese is "hard" to learn because it's not widely spoken as much as languages like French or Spanish or English. It's used on one archipelago. This means that, for the most part, to be around Japanese, you mostly have to be in Japan. Japan isn't the only language with this problem, so stop playing.

Another issue is Japan's education system. In post-war Japan, they ratified ways to learn kanji. They opted for a slower method that stretched kanji over the course of 12 school years. They learn it by doing it over and over. And that method is fine...for children. This method makes it harder to learn when one is an adult, though, because that's not how adults learn. Our brains are literally wired to think and learn differently. English is another language like that because we have specific sounds and movements that aren't used in other languages, which makes it harder for non-native speakers to use. In any case, this doesn't mean learning Japanese is the hardest language as an adult. It just means that the method of TEACHING and LEARNING Japanese ought to change when learning as an adult. But Japanese people teach non-Japanese speakers how THEY learned how to learn the language. Which makes it harder on non-natives by default, because again, they're adults. However, alternative methods have shown to teach Japanese at a highly fast rate to the point of gaining intermediate level mastery within a year.

You literally don't know what you're talking about. Japanese grammar is easy. Kana is easy.

http://www.fluentin3months.com/easy-japanese/

As for your English comment, you're wrong about that completely. There are also numerous Chinese who are opting to learn Japanese, and vice versa. Never mind the fact that English is the current international language standard and MOST nations opt to learn English, so this isn't even unique to the Japanese.

If there's a language you speak it would definitely be Opinionated Yet Uninformed-ese.

Re: New Members Introduce Yourself!

Hi fellow Shenmue fans!

I've been lurking around for a while now and of course with the great news from E3 it was now or never for me to join.
Unlike a lot of people here who experienced Shenmue since it was first released, I didn't play Shenmue until around 2008. I owned a dreamcast since it was launched and it's pretty amazing how I never played Shenmue for all those years. But playing Shenmue was one of the best decisions I ever made in my gaming life. It amazed me even in 08 and it was an experience I'll never forget.

Anyway since becoming a Shenmue fan I've come to realize that the Shenmue community and has to be the most passionate fanbase out there, It might not be the largest fanbase out there but I'll be damned if it isn't the most dedicated. Since I played Shenmue 1 and 2 in 08 I've had to wait around 7 yrs for the good news and 7rs was excruciating enough. I cant imagine how it felt for people who waited 14 years.

I was literally in tears when Shenmue 3 was announced and I'm honored to be officially part of the community. Looking forward to all the future news and being an active member for a very long time. :D
