Edit: And here's the old "Flowershop at night" scene revisited in 1080p and some minor glitches fixed:

i might re-rip the whole heartbeats scene from "scratch" i guess.

Just finished rendering the flowershop at daytime:

This one is more of an experiment, i wanted to see how the Hazuki residence looks like when i remove all Shenmue vegetation and place some of the Vue 6 standard plants instead.

I guess the real breakthrough detail has to come from the gameplay.

Being able to manipulate everything, even the items in your inventory. Not so much the fact that people are different and have routines, but the fact you can talk to every single one of them (which gets even more expanded in II, with the different topics of conversation and the ability to follow them) because otherwise it wouldn't make sense, if you couldn't interact with them...)

The fact that day/night cycles tie-in with gameplay, setting your gameplay schedules of work-investigation-play, even forcing you to kill time because some place you had to visit had closed down, or you were waiting for the bus, or for it to be time to go to bed. And suddenly it seems we're not talking about a video game character but about a real person that somehow only lives through us. And without the gameplay, it could be visually rich and impressive, but it wouldn't have the the enduring qualities we can only get from interaction.

Merry Christmas all.

It's non-news.

What it says is that in issue 226, which is out now, they said that: "SEGA is gradually remaking their previous gen games, and the Shenmue games are naturally on top of everyone's list, including ours (the magazine's). We're looking forward to see Ryo again, and we predict we'll see him again in 2013".

I mean, sure, anyone can say that. Rubbish piece of article.

I asked Mitsuzuki to rip all his official Shenmue soundtracks into a lossless audio format. (FLAC)

This is a cutscene you automatically get if you don't find the photo while searching the basement. It happen after the 70 man battle, before you leave the Hazuki residence.

I'm sure someone must have posted this here before but I'd only seen it now. Hilarious.

Hi guys. Ziming asked me to write this because I found a rare image from Shenmue. It's the one of my avatar. He's been the 2nd to ask me for that so following his advice, I'll upload the picture and a bonus:

I have MASSIVE resolution pics like some of Ziming posted. But mines can easily pass the 2k 3k pixels so I thought it was maybe a good idea to post them:

Some examples first:

I specially love this. It's one of my favorite pics and I've always got a lot of problems finding it in HD res except a scan made:

The file contains the first 3 pics + others I found on the net. There are also some bonus from Shenmue Online, a Zippo, Ryo for RPG Maker and other things I do not remeber now. Enjoy:

I want to join this. But i don't know a shit about this tweeter thing. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to join/follow this event? Thanks in advance. I already have an account but nothing else.
Just log in and where you want to write a message copy and paste #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense then say something. Anything. Something as simple as I want Shenmue 3 will suffice.

^Also, there is a YT video from teamyu.net that explains just this, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDHTN1U ... ded#t=102s

Yu Suzuki déclare penser au Crownfunding type Kickstarter pour financer Shenmue 3 ! #MAGS

Yu Suzuki just said that he is thinking about a Kickstarter to fund the Shenmue 3 developement ! #MAGS

Here is the best translation I can give you all, this is great news ! :D

EDIT : This guy is legit, He works with pretty big independant french TV channel and is part of the event. He ask all the question directly to Yu ;)

At Nice Airport at the moment.
My native French translater (during the conference) was talking about Kickstarter as last resort.

But I was a bit Deduced about the girl next to him.

Pfff...

Great weekend! Do have video. But I'm sure there are other people who are faster than me and have better quality.

A translation-nazi at NeoGAF provided a more accurate translation.

Those translations are absolute junk, why the fuck is the OP polluted by them? Embarassing by GAf standards..

The first line says: "Yu Suzuki declares to be thinking about a kickstarter-LIKE model to fund Shenmue 3" .. he's not saying he WILL use Kickstarter.

Second line is: "Yu Suzuki would like to CONTINUE the shenmue adventure in anime or manga form", as in making anime/manga versions of future chapters.

Sebastian just tweeted that the interview with Yu Suzuki is coming soon. I'm assuming he means a transcript or video of the interview he tweeted about earlier, as it's late in France - the event is over now, correct?

Anyway, when it gets posted, let's hope it clears somethings up and maybe contains another nug or two of juicy info :)

2nd part of my videos, the most interesting I believe:

http://youtu.be/8zbEmRLrhJE
Thank you for the videos. I'll summarize what Yu Suzuki said about Shenmue in Japanese as directly as possible. So, forgive me if some part would not sound natural for English.

*He named Virtua Fighter as the most memorable game of all his games, for he had to go through various hardships while making it. And, he added "Shenmue as well" at the end of the answer.

*He admitted that he regrets Shenmue III hasn't been made yet.

*He has no concrete plans for the next generation consoles, but he'd like to do something for them.

*About "the crowd-funding," he plainly said "there's such possibility," showing no particular interest.

*He wants to make Shenmue III for sure, if a good partner is found. He used the same phrase twice; "if circumstances allow." He's glad that French fans are still talking about Shenmue a lot.

I wanted to give you a complete retranscription of the conference in French and then translate it into English ( with the help of Ziming ). But we haven't got a complete video of the conference yet, there is a missing part. I prefer to wait that Kenji sends us his version, because he will accurately translate all the questions and the Suzuki-san answers.

About the interview of Shenmue Master:

To keep you informed about our interview, here is the information I could get from Kenji ( By phone ).

From what Kenji told me ( we still need to do a debriefing on Skype with all the team of Shenmue Master, normally tonight ).
- Our interview had a duration of 15 minutes, the contact with Yu Suzuki was very very good, Suzuki-san was really friendly and respectful towards Shenmue Master.

- About the content, the content of our interview is really really average, we asked good questions but Yu Suzuki seemed to have forgotten a lot of things concerning the story of the saga and he couldn't answer.

About the questions:

Kenji asked questions about Niao-sun and Yuanda Zhu.
- He asked what would become the preparatory work within Sega. ( Which can be found in the basement and we can see in the making-of )
- There was also a question about the TAO ( Chinese notion of philosophy ).
We have prepared the questions together and I'll bring them in my next post, np.

Hi Shenmue fans !
Let me clarify this for you. After a travel of 1200km made just to meet Yu, I was in Monaco this weekend, where I met Richard ( rdk_nl ) from this board. He filmed me when I asked this question http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p3PjvKA7m0 that was misinterpreted since...

The question was " If Mr. Suzuki ends up being unable to find the financial resources or the good circumstances to develop Shenmue 3, would it be possible to him to decide to finish the story as an Anime in 3D, or even cheaper : as a book ".

His answer was, if I can relate to the translator (really not sure about that) : " Maybe, it's a possibility... Even in that form, I would like to make some more Shenmue ".

2 things :

1. With the conference translation, I still don't know if Yu Suzuki means that "Even in that form...some more Shenmue" means : "If I wanted to do it, I would not make one episode, but a series of anime or books" or "If I chose to release Shenmue on those medias, I would still want to release more Shenmue as a videogame". Maybe one of you japanese speaking fans might translate Yu's answer there, it would be really nice ;-) .

2. I never said anything about a "manga", I spoke about a book (refering in french to the word "romancé" that relates to a novel, a written adaptation of the original script). I hope it's been well translated to Yu Suzuki. It's that french journalist who made the connection between an Anime and a manga book, not me.

Let's hope we'll have something concrete in the near future... Thank you !

It was a pleasure too, pal !
Since your cam was filming everything but the screen, I obviously had to do it (I missed the video of the saturn dance game he's been involved in, but I believe I've got all the others)...

Here are those pictures at a higher resolution (3600x2700) : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51587875/Yu%20Suzuki%20screens%20from%20Monaco.rar ;-)

...and I know it's already been said in here, but if Yu did insist on the dissolution of the Soviet union, it's because military forces had the best computers at that time, and he's been able to buy some cheaper elements from the USSR in 1991. Those high-end computers sold cheaper made the development of real 3d game possible...
