Re: Random Shenmue Thoughts

When I first played the game I never thought that the voice acting was bad. Probably because English is not my native language. I "learned" that from native speakers and such. Lots of people saying that Japanese is superior. But how do they know? Are native speakers and can critisize if it is good or not?

I believe if you are not a native speak (as with my example) you can not really tell the difference. For one, I prefer the English voice acting, because it is more familiar to the ear (at least I can understand English, in contrast with the Japanese one) and why I love it when it brings me smiles (e.g. "I am just fine and dandy! He he he he he!" You don't get that cheesiness in the Jap one...)

Re: Shenmue In The Media

None of it's actually news really though, is it? "Shenmue Mentioned in the Media" or just "Shenmue in the Media" would be a much more apt title, imo.
As I've said in the first post, it would be nice to hear a better topic title you may have in mind or come up with one. Thank you for the suggestion. Okay, I have updated the topic's title as "Shenmue In The Media". However, I will still be open for an even better title suggestion...

Vote for Shenmue 3 in the largest independent Xbox One Mag

X-ONE Magazine held a poll to vote for your top 3 games that Xbox One needs.

ONE OF THE OPTIONS IS *** SHENMUE 3 *** !!!

Therefore... we shall Tornado Kick this poll, as Crazy Shenmue fans we are!!!

!!! LET'S GO ===>>> http://poll.fm/4mzf8 !!!

‪#‎SaveShenmue‬

P.S.: Even though Phil Spencer tweeted that he's not interested, we shall rock this poll anyway! (Read why in the 2nd "spoiler") Do you remember the PSM_OK poll? Then the votes were with comments. NOW, the votes are with checkboxes. THEREFORE, they will not be able to deny any of our votes.

You know what I mean? The votes are obvious and counted by a system and not by a imperfect human being. :P

SO, if we TOP this poll, then it will DEFINITELY appear in their Magazine, *especially* when *themselves* add the "Shenmue 3 option", THEREFORE our "SHENMUE 3" votes are more welcomed than ever!

Just do it! :D I have to mention something for everyone who hesitate:

Our intentions is not where we want Shenmue 3 to end up, but we want to top this poll so as SHENMUE 3 will get more *recognition* and the fanbase alike, something that will advertise the power of our demand.

If Shenmue 3 TOP this poll, then it will *definitelly* appear on their Magazine. (Terry's Invitation to Hell, it's 5 secs job to vote anyway...)

Re: Vote for Shenmue 3 in the largest independent Xbox One M

Ugh... is this what we've been reduced to?
What do you mean? Is there something else we can do? If by winning that poll Shenmue 3's votes appear in the magazine, then it is one more bean in the sack of Shenmue's fanbase spread of awareness. It may not something big, but it is something, it is cumulative.

The more frequently the fanbase's power appears to anything that has a wide public view, the more will be in the spot. It may not prove at the end a force for a contract with a console manufacturer, but it is a try [a try with a procedure of 2 clicks (out of hunderds we do everyday...), of ten secs out of 86400 day's secs, and with below zero calories fat burning...]

Re: Vote for Shenmue 3 in the largest independent Xbox One M

Some things are best to just let go. The community's gonna get a reputation for bombarding any and all polls. If it's saved for ones with actual significance then it'll mean more. It'll make an actual statement. Otherwise, peeps'll eventually clock on and realise that Shenmue will insta-win pretty much everything, leading to eye rolls, sighs, and fanboy rage.
Any examples of similar situations / indicated consequences with/from games/fanbases? By the way, those "peeps" are free to call their own communities for action, and if their communities are more dedicated and plethoric than ours, then they have the means and they are free (always by what the competition/poll creator has put as rules and allows) to use them and win.

Remember back in the day when kids magazines had a section where you could send in drawings of your favourite character that appeared in said magazine? How amazing would it be to see yours being published? Now imagine someone got their dad to draw it for them, or they traced it, and yours didn't appear because that one was picked over it. Fair enough if there's a prize involved, good on them for being smart and devious enough to do it. Otherwise though, what's the point?
This is unrelated. You present an example of voting with drawings and some of them will be picked up as the best ones. For one, the selection of the best drawings would be not by the readers who would vote for it and based on percentages, but by the subjective judgement of the magazine's publishers. X-One Mag's poll is about voting from potentially all existent Internet users and it is based on percentages (not on judgement). Furthermore, they have include the "Shenmue 3" option, therefore they are not subdue that and the open chances it to be the winner.

It's like these developers and publishers that've got plenty of money in their pocket to fund their own projects, but take to Kickstarter anyway. They're free to do it, and it's not against the rules, but it's kinda goin against the whole idea of it's existence. This poll is for the X-One community. Their readers. Do you buy it? Are you a part of their community? Or are you just gate-crashing it because you wanna spread the word of Shenmue?
Again I don't see any one-on-one connection of the example with the current case. You say it is only for their readers. It is not and here is why: 1) the poll is open to the public view [they even tweeted publicly about it (their Twitter account is public and they don't protect their Tweets )] where all existent Internet users are welcomed to vote, 2) if it was only for their readers, then they would have put that poll via a system that would require for them to give credentials that would prove they are readers of the magazine and then they are allowed to vote, 3) they didn't suggest not to, exclude or prevent any endeavour to call your community for action to vote for the game which is relevant to the community's nature. Epilogically, no one is gate-crashing everything, because individual Internet users have the right to vote or not vote, for whatever reason or game.

I've said in the past, instead of pissing off other communities, efforts should be made to help them instead. A gang of thieves terrorising villages makes them no friends, but a group of heroes protecting the villages or helping them out may gain one or two new recruits.
This is what we do, we help them. How? By advertising their poll, we advertise them, their website, their magazine. Some people wouldn't have known that this magazine/website exists (myself included) without becoming interested to participate in that poll which is relevant to their subject game of interest, that is Shenmue. Furthermore, that kind of advertising, call for participation in that magazine's open to the public poll, would potentially and increase the possibilities to raise the magazine's website's traffic (with everything this implies). Even so, some may become interested in their magazine and be one of their subscribers.

By the reasons explained above (both two paragraphs), we are not by any means of any kind terrorists.

The aim should be to expand the community. Growth. If the name "Shenmue" appears everywhere, leaving negative opinions in it's wake, then how exactly is that helping? Just think about it for a second. Aggressive tactics aren't always the way to go.
The name "Shenmue", or "Shenmue 3" to be correct, has already appeared in that poll by its creators themselves. The possibility the name "Shenmue 3" to appear alongside with a high percentages of votes, does not by any reasoning imply that it will leave a negative opinion by default. It would be just a name with a percentages of votes. Opinions are being crafted in people's minds by their holders, and given the circumstances of the poll, it does not indicate any meaning of negativity projected towards the public eye.

Even so, the means used to encourage fans to vote for the game which are fan of, any kind of them are not prohibited by the poll creators (as also explained above).

But hey, this is your "baby", so why pay attention to any constructive criticism? It's not like it could lead to any form of improvement...
This is semi-irrelevant to the subject of the poll, but here's my take on that:
Construct means to build up. Criticize means to tear down. If you want to praise, get after. If you want to criticize, get after. You cannot build up and tear down at the same time.

Re: New Yu Suzuki Interview (Shenmue 3, Kickstarter ?)

http://www.gofundme.com/7pd1t0

Fan funding made by Shenmue500k Admin.
This is not by a Shenmue500k admin (I think/hope...). In any case, this is illegal. The owner of this said he will take it down.

Furthermore: Important note to all Shenmue fans:

Please do not launch, support, or encourage any crowdfunding or pledging initiative that has not been officially authorized/endorsed by Sega or Yu Suzuki.

Avoiding this route is fundamental to the success of any genuine Kickstarter-like campaign in the future, despite the allure of wanting to prove there's a demand right now. This will only undermine that demand by presenting lower numbers than a legitimate campaign would raise, and the lack of results will weaken enthusiasm for any legit fundraiser by way of the "once bitten, twice shy" effect.

This concept has been explored many times, and it's for very good reason that it hasn't been done before now. It's not that no one has thought of it, it's that sense has always prevailed before any damage could be done. So please be sensible and discourage any rash activities borne out of frustration.

Thank you.

Re: Shenmue 2 'Post Mortem'?

At the end of the main presentation, a slide showed 2000 as the date Shenmue II development began, followed by the words, "To be continued..." This led many viewers to assume or speculate that a second postmortem would cover Shenmue II in more detail, but GDC management has denied such plans ( http://tinyurl.com/gdcnope ). Instead we believe it was just a nod to the way the first game ended, with Ryo's departure from Yokosuka. This attempted symmetry between Shenmue the game and Shenmue the presentation is certainly more likely than the cruel parody of Shenmue II's cliffhanger interpreted by viewers less familiar with Yu's nature. This is a man whose eyes filled with tears reminiscing about the game. He ain't no troll.

Re: Jeff Gerstmann's Shenmue Rant (PAX East 2014)

Liked that comment:
http://www.giantbomb.com/shenmue/3025-602/forums/i-like-shenmue-what-about-you-1480631/?page=1#js-message-7302374 "I love Shenmue but I also identify that it's not for everybody. Infact, it's probably not even for most people.

Shenmue is a game that had the balls to be boring on purpose. It's about waiting around outside of the barbershop because it's 6am and they aren't open yet. In some ways its reminiscent of a storytelling method Alfred Hitchcock used; Hitchcock subscribed to the notion that you start out very slowly on purpose, because that way the viewer gets to see how mundane the characters really are. Through that mundanity, you relate to them, because life itself is boring.

And Shenmue starts out VERY mundane. And I really, really love that, because it backs it up with a hard-to-match sense of place. Exploring that little sliver of 1985 Japan is super cool to me, and the things that game was trying to do at the time were revolutionary. Every NPC in that game is unique, and they all have daily routines. Games can do that now through character creators and whatnot, but somebody in Shenmue had to paint textures for 25-50+ unique faces and chart out where they were going to be in the city at any given moment.

Of course, in a gaming landscape where everything is still loud, in your face, and convenient to the point of holding your hand, it's easy to see why somebody would hate the game. It's not even that Shenmue is difficult, either, it's just tedious... but it's intentionally tedious. It forces you to stop and smell the flowers. I can dig that. Most people won't."

...AND THEN CLICK "TWEET". That's it! :)

Phil Spencer (a.k.a. @XboxP3, he is the President at Microsoft Game Studios) will get a notification about your Shenmue request!

UPDATE: http://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/251647-gaming-achievements/suggestions/6028512-bring-shenmue-3-to-xbox-one (ONE MORE WAY to support!)

F.A.Q.:

Q: Why this is happening?

A: Because Phil Spencer said that he is open to hear ideas about original Xbox games to bring back, as can been seen here: https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/471467263271657473

Q: Didn't Phil said they're not going to make it?

A: Phil also said Gears of War ran its course and then bought the IP. Decisions like that are not monolithic in nature. And, with the right pressure, he may change his mind about Shenmue, too!

Q: I have my doubts? Is this going to work?

A: Nobody in this world is able to know. However, when you TRY, big things could happen! For example, think back what attention and positive signs we managed to achieve so far with SONY:

Re: NeoGAF: New Japanese trademark from Sega (Shenmue)

As much as I'd like to think Sony put that there to tease a Shenmue announcement, the reality is that forklifts are used to move stuff around for conventions. But we can hope!
I can imagine. Sony is announcing Shenmue 3, while Yu Suzuki's coming at the scene with a forklift, celebrating and doing the rounds around the E3 stage. Then he holds both the Mirrors, raise them up (hands up) while smiling, all the building is flashing so fast with all those lights everywhere, while Shenmue's theme playing on the background 120dB and a manly strong voice says "The Legend of Shenmue continues, now only on PlayStation!".

Suddenly everything stops. Yu Suzuki looks around. The crowd is screaming and yahooing with no end, and then, Yu Suzuki nods his head and says "I see...." while winking the eye and smiling naughty. Mark Cerny then hugs Yu and lift him up on the air (he's too thin after all) and crowd starts screaming again. Then Mark, in the midst of the pandemonium, says: "Sony is always says Make. Believe. and this is what we are here to deliver. Legends come true and greatness awaits... 4 the players!"

All are leaving the stage, smiling and bowing in front of the crowd, while the camera takes away the focus from them and zoom to the gigantic LCD panels, which shows a frenzy fast tempo trailer for Shenmue 3. Finally, an hologram of Ryo Hazuki, recreates all the scenes from the first Shenmue games, like drinking a Jet Cola and collecting capsule toys, while the whole stage is fading black.

...

I will dream nice tonight. :3

You'll approach him from behind, he will try to get away, you'll stop him, he will bow to the ground asking for mercy and, then he will pass through your legs and get away again. What a marvelous repeatable chase that is. Keep doing it.

Re: Random Shenmue Thoughts

For me this is one of the quintessential things about Shenmue: http://youtu.be/YIhi0LN6h-M (video also here: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=46812&p=1073835#p1073825)

The interesting and/or deep conversations, with interesting and/or deep unique personalities of the Shenmue world. The empathy that you progressively feel for the characters and the bonding you're building with.

Furthermore, the beauty, the artistry, the chronology, the geography, the mythology, the culture, the setting, the atmosphere, the music, the emotions, the ambition, the desire, the patience, the suspense, the philosophy, the romanticism, the pureness, the simplicity (being grounded - feeling like a real life world), the realism, the humour, the agony, the spirituality and all the experience that is being projected to you and immerse you in it, that maybe cannot be expressed by words or in that single video.

Personally, I see more than a game in this piece of digital interactive entertainment called Shenmue, something that transcends games.
