Re: Shenmue III Update #67: Developer Room Update 3

Just to clarify my position further, I don't want anyone here to feel like they are being left out in this brief hiccup.

You all must RESPECT each other. I think all parties in the last few pages are at fault.

There will be no belittling of others opinions
No ganging up on individual members
No toxic behavior towards each other. (directly/indirectly)
No Drama, especially every time there is some form of update or no show of Shenmue

This goes for all of us. (regular members, donators, mods, staff, etc)

Im sure most of us can see where Spaghetti and darksniper are coming from. Both views are kool and make for interesting conversation.

Respect each other. We're all grown ups here and at the end of the day, we're all on the same team.

Re: Ryo's face

Imagine the uproar when the community realizes that they have already been shown Ryo's new face. :shock:

Lan Di gonna get fucked .

He did. By Ryo. That's their child you are looking at. Lan Ry Hazuki. :lol:

I do hope that the style found in Ryo's hair does make it back. The march update looked a bit sleek and realistic. Like it was wet and freshly combed. We will just have to wait and see how it progresses. Like Peter, I've also made my peace at this point with the fact that this game will look different.

Re: Shenmue 3 & E3 2017 - UPDATE - Confirmed will NOT be at

It's only an opinion piece with a lot of legitimate questions but obviously with the wrong deductions.
Please don't speak ill of him behind his back. If you really believe in Shenmue III, you know that all doubters and critics will close themselves after the trailer and all's well that ends well.

I'm not arguing over an opinion, I'm arguing over inaccurate facts. Do I really need to list them?
What are those legitimate questions if I may ask?

I'm not speaking ill behind his back. I'm being critical with what he wrote. Beside, I gave my reasons why I did report the article here. The question is not if I believe in Shenmue III. It's not a matter of faith, again, it's a matter of building an opinion based on objective facts, not out of frustration.

There is a comment section below the article. It's not like this guy pretended not to be open to discussion, so it sounded a bit impolite to my ears and not very constructive.

I'm the one who sounds impolite and not very constructive?

They began to focus less on game development, and more on trinkets that the development team received in the mail. Seemingly arbitrary stretch goals, such as “improved battle system” and support for multiple languages, were set. Why should a goal of $3 million need to be met in order for another language to be supported? This seemed strange to me.

An update was posted by Ys Net on December 14, 2014 . In the post, it is stated that R&D was on course, and that the team was beginning to focus on production. The game was announced one and a half years prior to this date, and was scheduled for release in a year. Yet, it still hadn’t even entered the production phase.

Words couldn’t express my disappointment. What, exactly, was Ys Net doing during the past 18 months with the $6,333,295 that they solicited from 69,320 gamers? Something didn’t seem right to me. To be truthful, it seemed downright fishy.

Several adjectives could be used to describe how Ys Net has handled Shenmue 3. Deceitful, disorganized, underhanded, and dishonest would be a few.

Whatever the case, Ys Net owes it to all backers to explain what is going on. At this rate, Shenmue 3 may eventually see the light of day on the PlayStation 5 in 2021, if it releases at all.

The author has every right to ignore how a game is being developed and how long the pre-production process can be but this ignorance doesn't give him the right to throw accusations based on assumptions. This is what I call being impolite and not very constructive.

Re: Michael Huber comments on no Shenmue 3 at E3

So does that mean there's a possibility that it could be announced during the PC gaming show? I am not a PC gamer nor have I ever seen any of the E3 PC Gaming shows before so I don't know who their presentation layout is.

From what I've read, the PC show rarely contains big announcements, just the occasional little thing like exclusive horse armor DLC. That doesn't mean it can't happen of course.

Yea, they announced their lineup yesterday but of course, no Shenmue.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/pressreleases/299648/SEGA_and_ATLUS_Announce_E3_2017_LineUp.php

From what I understand, those are the games that will be playable on the show floor. If they were going to announce a new game at the show, it wouldn't be on that list.

Re: Shenmue Dojo Twitch Channel - schedule & discussion

Hey guys, technically first post but regular viewer and lurked on the site since about 2005 probably. (see edit!)

Decided I would register tonight after that fantastic stream and although e3 was a bit of a downer what a journey we've been on and a huge thank you to Peter for giving me something to look forward to every week for the past half a year!

Can't wait to continue with the streams, whoever takes them on, and keep up to date with you all.

Edit: For a laugh went to the Shenmue 1 and 2 boards and the oldest topics... from 2003. I believe I was around lurking as a wee kid at this time. I recognise names and some things being discussed and even mention of 'old forums' rings a bell. Could be wrong but that just rams home how long we've all waited for this :shock:

July 3rd: Tweetathon to #SaveShenmueHD

https://s22.postimg.cc/rsc09ifb5/sshd-s3style-dojo.png

The monthly #SaveShenmueHD Tweetathon takes place this Monday, inviting fans to participate by tweeting the hashtag and retweeting others who do the same. You can also personalize an AutoTweet at TeamYu.net to be released en masse during the 24-hour event. There's also a 24 Hour Live Music Stream on Shenmue Dojo's YouTube channel.

With the recent news that Shenmue III will be presented at Gamescom next month, the fan base can use this opportunity to collectively ask Sega to join Ys Net in Cologne to confirm remasters of Shenmue 1 & 2 ahead of the new game's release.

Shenmue III @Gamescom '17 Discussion - That's All, Folks

http://i.imgur.com/e2x3CfQ.jpg

https://pending.me.uk/cd/bla_1503388800.png

http://abload.de/img/sequenz01_1lob47.gif

THE NEWS

~*~NEW~*~ 27th July - YSnet announces they will be hosting a meet n' greet session with Yu Suzuki in the entertainment area, and also confirms that an update with the "Latest news about Shenmue III" revealed in the business area will be available via Kickstarter and the Shenmue III website.

13th July - YSnet announces via the KS they will be showing the game in the business area of the event restricted from public entry ( please note, the update does specify that backers will be able to get the "latest on-site information" through games media outlets ), but are attempting to put together an event for fans attending the show via the public areas. It is also confirmed Yu Suzuki will personally be in attendance.

THE BASICS

YSnet announced in the June 2017 Kickstarter update that they will be taking Shenmue III this August to Gamescom in Germany, saying "While we are still working out the details with our partners, we plan to show our newest movie clips, share the latest updates and even make some new announcements."

Cedric Biscay has said via Twitter that Shibuya Productions, primary financier and one of Shenmue III's marketing partners, will not be the ones showcasing Shenmue III at the event, and that further details will be available "soon".

Sony, YSnet's other known marketing partner, have not confirmed a Gamescom presence but have recently hinted that a conference may be in the works for the show.

THE SPECULATION

Could YSnet be bringing a trailer to Gamescom? While it's impossible to know the style of the video YSnet will be using to show off the game, I think we can all safely assume Gamescom will end up being the most revealing look at the game we've had.

According to resident translator Switch, the plural "movie clips" in the English version of the update is intentional, as the author would have to check the meaning with whoever wrote the Japanese version; as apparently the language doesn't make a plural distinction. If we are to take it at face value that the English author followed this process, we can assume there will be more than one Shenmue III video coming out of Gamescom.

Shenmue HD has been rumoured for a very long time, but in the last year the anticipation has reached fever pitch with domain registrations, endless "insider" info, and SEGA themselves expressing a desire to make it. SEGA have kept Shenmue III at arm's length since it was announced two years ago, and we have no evidence the dynamic of this relationship has changed, let alone that Shenmue HD truly exists. So... keep expectations in check.

There are plenty of "cleaning house"-style announcements to make in regards to rewards fulfilment, pledge upgrades, and how long the Slacker Backer site will continue to be open for. Will they be part of the announcements made during Gamescom? Possibly. We can at least hope they are addressed in the KS updates following the event.

This thread is for discussion, speculation, and breaking news. HUGE news will warrant its own thread, but in most cases I will just change the title of this topic to reflect the current developments, and add a kind of newsfeed to the OP to keep people up to speed.

Big thanks to Kiske for the banner. Happy posting!

Re: Shenmue III @Gamescom '17 Discussion - [WAIT] - [QUIT]

Yea it's not a very well described event. I mean the questions outweigh the answers with Gamescom.

Does YSNET attend Devcom now?
At this point, no.

Is that the developer conference?
devcom is the Developer conference and the successor to the now defunct GDC Europe.

Or the Gamescom public keynote?
devcom will host keynotes targeted at different audiences.

Can people purchase the business pass/VIP pass (at ridiculous prices)
They can, providing the necessary credentials.

Does a press pass allow you into the business area?
Yes, that is the main purpose of the business area, to arrange meetings between publishers and press as well as business-to-business talks and sales.

Is the Devcom press accreditation separate from Gamescom accreditation?
Yup.

Is the Gamescom Congress related to this?
It is rather a Germany-centered range of panels concerning the local games industry.

It says some fans may be granted access to business halls on the Tuesday. How?
This is called the wildcard process. A select bunch of regular visitors will be granted access to gamescom on Media Day.
Wildcards are sold and made available provided you subscribe to the gamescom newsletters. It's basically a raffle.
However, this has always been heavily critisized by both publishers and press, complicating and overcrowding gamescom at their very first day which should be reserved for media professionals.

I could go on but I will leave it there for now.
Yes, gamescom's website is a mess.

I have no words. Just sensational work and fantastic passion from one of the most revered Shenmue fans I've had the privelidge of meeting.
Many thanks to you Peter for your incredible support over the year, and for helping to spread the word about new articles on your Twitch streams. I've found the enthusiasm of Shenmue fans to be quite amazing, and it's what provided the inspiration and motivation to make the blog. It's an absolute pleasure to spend time on this project.

Re: Shenmue 3 trailer is FINALLY HERE!!

Long time forum reader, rare poster. The game looks absolutely stunning in the video and screenshots. I think it is very important to keep in mind that a lot of this footage we have pretty much had confirmed was shown to the 10K backers a year ago. This as Yu says is a small peak at the work they have been doing and to me its mindblowing to think how far this will have come in the past year. I did prefer the previous logo but a minor detail. Yu is clearly an astute guy and i for one have full confidence in the project. Dont get the negative comments this is clearly WIP and we only seeing a very small part of it!!

Peter / Spaghetti just want to say you guys and a number of others do an amazing job on here. Cant wait to see what more comes out this week \:D/

New Shenmue Dojo

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce that the Dojo will be moving forward starting today and into new hands. Congratulations to Peter, a dedicated member willing to put Shenmue first at all costs. This has been in the works for quite some time and I have 110% faith and comfort in this decision. I'll remain an administrator and contribute more freely going forward, however he will be leading the overall project from here on out.

I want to be clear when I say in no way is the original vision from when I took over Shenmue Dojo changing, but instead being built upon. There's no brighter time to do so than now. When I originally took the site over, Shenmue was in a dark place but I pushed to make the site Shenmue centric again in hopes of the series regaining relevance. I believe that challenge was achieved, however now with Shenmue at the literal forefront thanks to Shenmue III, it's time for the site to move forward along with the series.

For the sake of transparency, I'd like to be clear on why I'm doing this. In no way is it a lack of passion, my heart has always been with Shenmue and still is. I've since however created my own business that has consumed every second of my time and then some, so while that goal was achieved and I'm thankful for it, I believe Shenmue Dojo deserves more time than I'm able to dedicate. It's with a heavy heart I'm doing this, but the passion Peter has shown for the project filled it with joy and excitement.

Over the past year or so I did work on a new site. The idea was to be a mobile first, responsive site and bring things up to date with a central focus on community, social integrations and the like.

https://i.imgur.com/rZxnGcX.jpg

With a site as historic as Shenmue Dojo, it's tough to pull the trigger on anything quickly or without heavy consideration. While this will likely just end up as inspiration or a base for the future project at this point, I fully support Peter and the rest of our teams ideas going forward. Having so many working iterations to brainstorm with, the future will only benefit from it and with Shenmue III nearing, it'll be perfect timing.

I ask that everyone approaches the new leadership with respect and the willingness to think outside of the box. Please trust that the entire team, not just myself or Peter, is leading with our heart and has the best interest of Shenmue at the forefront of our minds every step of the way.

Thank you for all of the support over the years, I really do love and cherish the relationships I've built here.

Take care.

(APRIL FOOLS) Project Update #81: Shenmue 3 by Ys Net

Greetings backers!
Today we have something very special indeed for you.
Throughout this campaign, many people have voiced their concerns that newcomers to the Shenmue series may feel alienated. Currently, there is no easy or convenient way to play Shenmue I and II without original Dreamcast/Xbox hardware and that's something we'd like to change.

We don't have the budget to fund fully fledged HD remasters of the first two games. But we're not going to let this stop us from bringing new fans a way to enjoy Shenmue I and II.

After much hard work, we proudly present to you: Shenmue HD: The Choose Your Own Adventure novel!

https://i.imgur.com/G2vwAUj.png

A Story Retold:

Shenmue HD: The Choose Your Own Adventure is a complete retelling of the original two games in interactive novel form. Story and progression awaits you with every page turn. Much like the original video adaptation of the game, you can directly control Ryo's decisions and effect the way in which the story plays out.

https://i.imgur.com/WrGntty.jpg

New Features:

Shenmue HD: The Choose Your Own Adventure will also include extra features that were not previously available in the original games. An example of this is the ability to save anywhere in Shenmue I with the included 'Save Anywhere' bookmark!

https://i.imgur.com/mKn1IXo.png

Modding API:

And finally, here's something all you modders and hackers will love. For the first time EVER , an official modding API will be available for Shenmue I and II. With this powerful and flexible API you can do almost anything; from tweaking the story to your liking, to using our advanced 'book engine' to make something completely different. The possibilities are endless. The only limit is your imagination!

https://i.imgur.com/WqH7NS0.png


That about wraps up our special announcement. We hope that you're just as excited as we are for Shenmue HD: The Choose Your Own Adventure .
Be sure to catch us at E3 this June where we will have a playable demo available for the public to enjoy.

Many thanks for your continued support:
- The Awesome Japan Team and YS.NET



As always Dojo, have a great April!

Re: Concerns about Shenmue HD.

At least at first glance that looks fine to me. What exactly is wrong with it and what would you do different?
I agree, the new HUD elements look fine to me. The clock needs to be generic looking to ditch the Timex branding since they're not re-licensing that. Some of it was weird at first and almost too smooth, but that's just because we're used to seeing the original. I will say that Esppiral's comparison screenshots on the previous page do look better to me than the ones Sega released, however it's an unfair comparison to make at the moment. Smoothing and filtering options are used for his images, and on PC you'll be able to force that stuff anyway via graphics card options. It's still possible those options could be exposed in-game as well.

Monday's batch of screenshots basically indirectly confirmed that aspect ratio will be an option (as we've now seen Shenmue 2 cutscenes in true 16x9 and also in 4x3 but letterboxed to 16x9 like the original was) so that's not something I'm worried about anymore although there's still no evidence that we'll get actual 16x9 cutscenes in Shenmue 1. Aside from that I'm not concerned about any graphical problems being introduced to the first game, since they're basing it on the original code and the team working on it knows what they're doing. For Shenmue 1 it's going to be the definitive way to play almost certainly.

But I will say that I still agree with some concerns about the second game. It's very likely that the problems introduced in the Xbox port will not be fixed. Sega contracted them to port the games and dictates the requirements for the project. D3T is going to do exactly what Sega requests from them, and if correcting the mistakes introduced in that version is not something that was requested, it will not happen. The people responsible for these decisions are not going to have the same knowledge of the game differences that the fans do. It's likely that they're not even aware of the differences and will just be doing comparisons against the Xbox version. Unless reverting the geometry changes is a planned change then it won't be happening. I'm buying it either way, but I'm disappointed that they're basing the area geometry on the Xbox port. (And before anyone goes all "but these are WIP" on me for this paragraph, re-read it again or just ignore this part completely. We don't know what their plans are, but they chose to cherry pick images with Xbox geometry intact and I personally believe they won't fix it. My opinion about that will be the same at release if it remains as-is, and I'll be very happy if I'm wrong or someone makes them aware of the situation and they decide oh we should change this. I'm still satisfied with the fact that this is happening at all)

First, I'll increase Ryo's health bar by increasing the contrast and making the "yellow status" more vibrant.
You're forgetting how that works. It pulses in and out, they just took the screenshot at a low point. If it works the same way as it does in the original there's nothing wrong with that image.

May 3rd: 75th Tweetathon

https://s14.postimg.cc/fezwdduw1/May3rd-_Dojo.png

Hello Dojo! As you're probably aware by now, Shenmue I+II are available to preorder , which brings a close to the #SaveShenmueHD campaign. So what happens next?

This Thursday, May 3rd, marks the 75th edition of the monthly Shenmue Tweetathon, so there's no better opportunity as an organized community to celebrate #ShenmueSaved, the hashtag chosen by Sega to promote their upcoming release. There'll also be giveaways throughout the day on the @TeamYu Twitter account, posing questions based on the Campaign Timeline available on the newly updated TeamYu.net .

With the campaign project reaching its conclusion, from June onwards fans are invited to continue tweeting an all-purpose #Shenmue hashtag every 3rd to help promote the series in a viral fashion, attracting new interest in Shenmue I+II and Shenmue III to drive sales and support the future of the franchise. Above all, it's just a really fun way to connect with other fans around the world and share in our enthusiasm for a legendary video game, so it would be wrong to let the tradition go to waste now that the campaign is over. We can all just enjoy it now, as it's become as much a part of being a Shenmue fan as looking for sailors and drinking soda in a very particular way. :)

We'd like to thank everyone for your support throughout the campaign, and have gone into more detail on this via Facebook . We hope to see you on Thursday for the 75th Tweetathon celebration!

Re: Random Shenmue HD Thoughts

My random Shebmue HD thought is the capsule toy “boobie” prizes of the controller buttons. These were altered for the Xbox version of Shenmue 2, but I wonder wether they will bother changing the ABXY & their respective colours to PS4, Xbox One & Steam controller inputs or just remove them entirely from the gotcha gotcha vending machines.

Re: New Shenmue III pics from THQ Nordic financial presentat

Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion... As things stand.

But what's important to remember is it's all still in progress, and if they can finally crack Shenhua after all of these years of complaining, then there's no reason why the Ryo model won't be given the same treatment over the course of the coming months.
Yep. Plus Yu has said he's finally happy with the way Shenhua looks, but to my knowledge he has not said that about Ryo yet. Don't panic, Shenhua shows that everything is moving in the right direction.

Re: New Shenmue III pics from THQ Nordic financial presentat

I know I made a joke about how the models keep changing but I find it hard too see how you people can care so much when it’s changing constantly. Honestly I think that they’ve been silly to show some stuff in teasers, trailers or screenshots when it looks so rough but they’ve shown that they’re going to keep changing it. Any other game if a model looks weird in a trailer it’s probably going to look weird when it’s released but it’s been clear for awhile now that nothing is final until the game is shipped.

All people seem to do is complain about a model or face for 3 months then complain about the new one when that’s shown. I can understand saying this is bad marketing constantly showing rough footage and I’d argue every time they do this they’re hurting potential sales (See Mass Effect Andromina). But I’m just at the point where I don’t care as I’ve got the game preordered and we most likely won’t see the final models until reviewers post footage up for their video reviews at this point.

It is now official! Voice actress Haruka Terui will be the voice of Shenhua Ling, the heroine of this story facing the adventures ahead with Ryo.

The leading parts are cast and the Japanese voice recording is steadily moving ahead. The crew poses for a shot below taking a break from the excitement and emotion of the recording studio session.

Re: Random Shenmue III Thoughts

Those weren't Bailu, they were posted on Muecas as cut areas before reaching Guilin, I believe. See this topic and its links: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=49676&hilit=miao#p1129948

Re: Kickstarter Update #84 - Survey Info #1: Survey Started!

I was more hyped about the video, and the little girl from Bailu village being voice acted and fully animated. Fuck yes!

Lol I was so busy reading the survey instructions that I didn't even look notice there was a video, I thought it was an image, and even then I didn't even focus my eyes on it... Paddy had to point it out to me lol

Looks and sounds great! All starting to feel so real now!! Little confused about the upgrades on the survey (as I want to upgrade a little bit to the Guest Book tier, but it seems as if the $250 tier is the top?) so have emailed them to see if there is any way to do it.

Looks like we are getting all the Shenmue news these days! Very excited for the Survey, the stream tonight and then of course the announcement on the 3rd :D

Re: New PC Screenshots on Steam Page

Yea forget all the positives.

New screenshots arrive, So let's get out the red pens and clip boards and get stuck in with the negativity. It's sad. It really is.

So far I feel pretty good about the direction of the HD collection, I can of course see the difference when screen shots are side by side. I don't think they have presented anything yet that has me concerned.

I wouldn't worry much about it because those could very possibly be from a beta build, many things usually get fixed and optimised before release, and can even be patched after release as well.
