Re: Shenmue III: PC vs PS4 version

I'll be on PC, but I'll buy the Ps4 version aswell to support Shenmue and Sony. Those who are worried about the PC version being buggy etc. You don't have to worry. The pc is the lead Dev platform for Shenmue 3 with Sony moving the game over to the Ps4 so we won't get any of this Arkham Knight shite lol


In this case, I'm afraid for the PS4 players. That means their version could be a downgrade of the PC, and downgrades are usually... not really good looking. But I'm probably wrong here as Sony is directly involved in the project.

Every game you have ever played on your PS4 was created on pc and "downgraded" to suit the PS4 hardware and architecture lol You have nothing to worry about, because as you said Sony are handling the Port so its all good :)

Re: The new trailer is bad ...

People really need to understand that this will be NOTHING like the finished product. This short has been made and rushed out just for the kickstarter, in probably a very short amount of time. There is no VO, no sound (other than BGM), no intro, its barely even a trailer lol its just a clip of what they have been working on as probably proof of concept.

Calm down lol...

Re: Shenmue HD: Attacking Sega with it now (prefab email ins

Done! I really think that now the KS is over, this is the perfect time to rally everyone together and get a quick campaign out that focus on S1 and S2. This is the time when there will be the most number of people excited about Shenmue and therefore will give us the biggest push.

Can the Dojo scrape something together with the other Shenmue sites so we can all message Sega at the same time? It would be amazing!!!

Re: Sega Europe comments on Shenmue

This is the first time they have commented on Shenmue in so long, let alone fucking #'d it lol.

Come on Sega, step up to the plate, and drop that bomb!
They can't be so dense that they don't see they're messing with us. Can they?

Re: Kickstarter Update #47

It really is surprising to me how much negativity there is here.

Like seriously... I am so damn happy that Shenmue 3 is even coming. There are some people in here who really need to take a step back and just remember that! 4 months ago we would have killed to get the smallest bit of new info about our favourite game franchise. The game is now being made, and people are crying about how some super super early development shots, (which are even using included assets from the engine) don't meet their expectations...

WHO CARES!!! It's going to change, and even once it has, it probably won't look like how you want it to or how you imagined it to... but you know what!?! Yu Suzuki, the Legend, who created the best 2 games of all time, has created a game for you. A game that you have wanted for 15 years. We will finally leave the Cave in Guilin, we will continue the story of Ryo's revenge, and not only will we have a Shenmue 3, but there is now now a pretty good chance we will have a Shenmue 4.

Think about where we have come from, and where we are heading. We are getting the game we always dreamed of, from the original creator. We are in good hands people... That's what the kickstarter updates remind me of!

(That screeny of the house with the thatched roof tho... *Jizzed everywhere*).

It looks so great! I'm so giddy right now! haha! You can look at it and see within 1 second that it just fits the Shenmue feeling and atmosphere! So happy!

The thing that blows my mind the most, is the fact that the whole game is going to have to match this graphical fidelity and I couldn't be more pleased. What you guys think?

Re: Kickstarter Update 51: Poll Results & Shenmue.link revam

Such a stupid idea lol I don't even understand how this decision could be made. They would have been better off just not asking in the first place, and just doing it. Noone would have had a problem with that as it would have just been normal.

Talk about just completely messing it up. The media is YET AGAIN going to run away with this. First article is up, luckily it is Dualshockers, and they aren't dicks like IGN/Kotaku/gamespot lol

They normally just state the facts, and don't have negative opinions on things so we are good here. Think I might just avoid the internet for the rest of the day because I don't wana read the comments about this lol.\

Re: Kickstarter Update 51: Poll Results & Shenmue.link revam

People need to understand that even though AJ are morons, they are not going to interfere with the games development. I thought this was pretty obvious. Fair enough, they can impact how the game will turn out in terms of YS.net's funds, but that is it.
When you say your "not optimistic about trusting a newly-formed game company with a high-profile game like Shenmue" that just sounds strange, seeing as it is with many of the Original people who created it lol Everything we have seen so far of the ACTUAL GAME/Prototype tells me that they still have that magical touch and feeling that oozed out of Shenmue to make it the game we all love.

Yes, AJ are dickbags, but Yu and the team who are working on the game are fine.

Custom Shenmue Lego for UK Playstation Magazine.

Hey guys,

Just casually browsing reddit when I saw some cool custom Lego characters from a user called Minifigs.me. UK Playstation magazine commissioned him/her to make some of their characters such as Ryu/Chung-Li/Kratos etc. In the comments of the post Minifigs.me said that he hasn't received this issue of physical magazine yet, but said that he also created Ryo from Shenmue and was hoping it would be featured. I reached out and he/she was nice enough to supply some pictures!

Here are pictures from the magazine:

And here is Ryo:

Re: Ps4k and shenmue 3

Yep. Unreal 4 supports 4k, however as I said above, the game will have to have a specific patch to take advantage of the increased specs of the "PS4K". I hate the name so much lol The GPU is rumoured to have 2 times the power, and the PS4 can barely run games at 1080p/30 anyways. How is a 2 time boost (without even mentioning the CPU bottleneck), going to be able to push a resolution that is 4 times 1080p with the same frame rate?

It's a really strange situation, as hardly anyone has a 4k Tv at the moment, so not many people would see the increased pixel density anyways. IMO, it would be better for devs to use the extra power to get 1080/60 or add extra effects/Npcs to their games, which I am betting a lot of devs will do.

Either way, if they Devs create games with this new spec in mind there will be a plus side for PC gamers as the PC version of these games won't be as downgraded as we are used to :P

Why Shenmue III matters - Kotaku Article.

I know some people really dislike kotaku after what happened with the Place Holder Shenmue III box art (mainly because that writer was a dickbag) but here is a really great article from Steve Bowling.

"Shenmue III is a game many thought would never see the light of day; a costly casualty of Sega’s exit from the console business. At E3 2015, Yu Suzuki blew our minds by announcing the game we’d been waiting for. Kickstarter records were shattered, and the rest is history. That’s all good, but why should you care?

This post contains spoilers for Shenmue I and II.

Whether you loved or hated the original Shenmue games, it’s hard to deny their significance. Shenmue is essentially the granddaddy of all the open-world games you’ve loved over the years; it was one of the first games to feature realistic weather cycles, which were actually patterned off those present in Yokosuka, Japan during the time period in which it takes place. It was also among the first games to have a truly open world you could explore, filled with diversions and a level of realism that up to that point had not yet been seen in games.

Shenmue’s influence can be found in games like GTA and Yakuza, to name just a couple. God of War made use of QTEs more than most of us probably would have liked, too. It’s doubtful that Shenmue III will innovate in the same way the original did, but for all the mechanics and systems those games introduced, the main reason that Shenmue matters, especially to its fans, is the story.

If you played Shenmue I and II, you’re probably both excited and frustrated. At the beginning of the original Shenmue, Lan Di shows up at the Hazuki dojo and murders Iwao, Ryo’s father. Over the course of the game, Ryo investigates the circumstances surrounding his father’s death in his hometown of Yokosuka, only to find Iwao’s murderer has fled to Hong Kong. The game ends with Ryo on a boat to continue his chase.

In Shenmue II, however, things take a hard left turn. Ryo doesn’t get to confront Lan Di, but instead watches him flee in a helicopter after fighting his way through Hong Kong’s underworld of seedy gangsters and underground fighting rings. It looks like the game is set to end there, but instead Ryo gets a lead on Lan Di’s location and follows it to a remote village in China. There, he meets a girl named Shenhua who guides him to her home and you play through a series of mundane tasks with her. Shenhua’s father disappears, and that’s where Shenmue II’s true ending begins.

Ryo and Shenhua travel to the mine her father works at, and discover it has been abandoned. After doing some exploring they find, of all things, a sword hanging out in there. Things escalate, and Ryo is read a prophecy about traveling across the seas to find this sword, which is now hovering in mid-air. Up to this point, everything in Shenmue has been at least somewhat grounded in reality; no super powers, no fanciful weapons. Directly after this, the screen fades to black and the words “The story continues....” appear.

That was 15 years ago.

In the final minutes of Shenmue II, Yu Suzuki and company changed all the established rules of the game’s universe and left us on a cliffhanger. It’s the ultimate kind of torture, and for the fans like yours truly, the opportunity to find out what happens next is almost better now than it was 15 years ago. The resurrection of Shenmue is almost a damn miracle. A long-dead franchise from a nearly irrelevant company coming back with its original creator at the helm is the kind of stuff that just doesn’t happen, or at least it didn’t happen until last year.

When Yu Suzuki took the stage at E3, I screamed, hollered and cheered. I’m not ashamed to admit it: I cried. Like many fans, I had been waiting on the continuation of Ryo’s journey for 15 long years. I had given up any hope of finding out what would happen years ago. To find out it was actually happening was enough to push me over the edge. E3 could have ended on that note and I would have been happy.

As soon as Sony’s E3 press conference ended, fellow TAYer Jose ‘Nach’ Acosta and I rushed out and I threw as much money as I could reasonably afford at Shenmue III’s Kickstarter. I gave them 300 dollars, and was hoping to shake more out of my empty coffers. Many of my Shenmue-loving friends did the same that day. Some of my friends that didn’t even care much for the franchise sent a few dollars out knowing how much it meant to me that the game be funded. We all know how that played out: Kickstarter records were broken, the game was funded and all was right in the world.

Perhaps that’s the reason Shenmue III matters. It sent a loud, clear message to developers and publishers: never lose faith in your games. People do love them, and even if you’ve given up on them, the fans haven’t. And to the players, never give up hope. After years upon years of waiting, hoping, pleading and begging, mail-in campaigns, tweetathons and offers to crowdfund, the message got across.

It took 15 long years, but without fan outcry, it might have never come to pass. Shenmue III owes its existence to the fans that never stopped supporting it. When I wrote my first public request for Shenmue III a little over five years ago, I never thought I’d be writing an article proclaiming our success, but here we are.

Publishers, take heed. If you support your games, your fans will support you."

Re: E3 2016 & Shenmue 3

Yeh, I agree. The stream was pretty pants. They lived streamed 3 trailers that have been on their youtube page for 2-3 days with a video update from earlier today. They also has a "very special announcement" that was an announcement of and announcement lol.

I have been following Sega's "social presence" for a while now and it is a very strange thing indeed, it just doesn't feel official. It feels to me that Dan Sheridan from Sega Europe is the guy who begged Sega to allow him to make this kind of content and eventually they said yes. He makes some cool stuff and you can tell he is trying his hardest, but it's almost like Sega is either very restrictive towards what he is allowed to cover, or they simply don't care/don't give him any content to work with.

I really hope they take what he has started and Globalise the social stream and content, so that it is not just 1 or 2 guys from Sega Europe. Dan has started what could be a great relationship with the fans, but it needs a greater focus and push from the whole company.

Biggest amount of BS I have ever seen lol. To copy and paste my response from Reddit, where the post is linked.

They said that the STORY was 95% complete. It even says this in the article that they are talking about and they even linked to it...LOL!! The game has barely even been started and has been in production for just under 6 months.
Source: "I can tell you the story is 95% finished." http://www.gameblog.fr/interview_948_shenmue-3-notre-grande-interview-de-yu-suzuki-et-cedric-bisc/page2
Cedric did tweet out that he was playing a build of Shenmue 3, but it is probably just a prototype for how the game plays and how Ryo moves.

Yu Suzuki himself has said countless times now, that he is feeling the stress for the 2017 December deadline, and that he has so much stuff he wants to put in the game, but he doesn't think he has the time. Fans have already started to say that they would be happy for him to delay the game to put these features in.

The bit about Yu saying that Shenmue III won't finish the whole 11 chapters is correct, and he did say that he would need a Shenmue 4 and maybe 5 to finish it all but also said that he wants to take things 1 step at a time. He said this about 6 months ago as well. Dunno who these Crossmap are, but they are just making up their own opinions and publishing it to get some attention.

To sum up, this articles is wrong, and I cannot wait for Cedric to shut them down.

Kickstarter Update - 1 Year Anniversary

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/posts/1616380?ref=backer_project_update

Hello Everyone,

We are at the one year anniversary from the day you all stood up and made Shenmue III a reality. So to mark the occasion, Yu-san wanted to take this opportunity to look back at the project thus far.

Thank you all for wonderful first year!

https://youtu.be/-69bno5BjGk

Survey Outlook

We have been receiving a lot questions about surveys lately, so here is where we stand now.

Surveys have NOT been sent. A date for the surveys has not been decided, and is still a ways off.

Because this is such an important part of the backer process, an official announcement will made on the Kickstarter Update page and in the news section on shenmue.link. The announcement will also be posted on Twitter at @Shenmue_3, so be sure to follow us!

On the survey, you will confirm all of your reward details (platform choice, T-shirt size, etc.) and shipping information. Please look ahead to coming updates for more information!

Re: Kickstarter Update - 1 Year Anniversary

There is one thing that sticks out to me so much when I look at the footage that we have seen so far and was just wondering if you guys noticed it as well :P

In like every video game ever (until the Witcher 3 - wow what a game that was) trees, grass and other foliage are just static. They don't move, change shape or sway and if they do, its a very subtle, unrealistic movement. Shenmue 3 has, even in its super basic prototype form, absolutely nailed this. I know its a very small detail, but that is what gets me so excited. Yu is a master of adding realism to the word very naturally with the small things, and it just points out to me that he still has it and just adds to my overall hype of the game...

LOOK AT THESE TREES! lol

Re: Kickstarter Update #63: Campaign and Progress Update

Guys, Yu Suzuki literally said in this update that he's staying in his office overnight because he cares so much about Shenmue III. It's shameful to call Shenmue III 'humiliating' after seeing screenshots that we probably pressured the team to release with our constant messages after PSX. If the team are behind, we need to be understanding and supportive instead of going 'Games Media' mode. Shenmue III will be a great game, even if we have to wait a while longer for the good stuff to come to light.

Re: Kickstarter Update #63: Campaign and Progress Update

To be honest, any hearsay or rumours are probably complete BS. The only way of someone "knowing something" is if they know someone who is actually working on the game (and I don't believe that at all) lol even Cedric didn't have, up-to the minute, correct info so how the hell could someone here...

I know we are all super fans on the series and we need to analyse every single bit of info, but if you can do that with a positive mindset (or without getting all annoyed/disappointed and posting shit everywhere), I think that it is better for you (and for the game) that you take a step back. I am chuffed to shit that S3 is happening in some shape or form, and the fact that it is going to look something in the ballpark of these screens blows me away.

Sometimes I think that people forget that we are super fucking lucky to be getting a new game at all.

Re: Shenmuehd.com Domain Registered

I give 0 (z-e-r-o) credit to this slovakian store.
I can't believe they are the only gaming store in the whole universe to have Shenmue 1&2 Pack listed.
I can't believe, if this was true, that nobody else in the whole universe spilled the beans.

Unless the Shenmue 1&2 Pack is for Dreamcast... :lol:

I mean that it does happen from time to time, Game here in the UK have listed and leaked so many things early but when they do it is an accident, and they take it down ASAP. This time round there is someone who is affiliated in someway with the store, and they have been tweeting directly to Sega to say thanks... Seems super strange to me. Like if you was Sega and Shenmue 1 and 2 was actually coming, you would be super pissed that some little store leaked the news and ruined your announcement lol.

Tbh it wouldn't surprise me if he was just doing this to gain traffic their site lol Because that's what he is getting, attention and traffic for nothing. He has been tweeting about it since December 9th, just could just be a guy making it all up, that has happened to gain more traction due to the registration of the ShenmueHD.com domains.

So basically he works there and noticed this in their system. A quick google search does find another store with the same date but it also supplied by the same store.

Edit: Yokosuka got there first :(!

Re: Shenmuehd.com Domain Registered

If they release it in April they will announce it earlier then E3 of course!

That's what we mean. We don't think that the April date is real. Shenmue HD is a MASSIVE deal in terms of a remake. People have been wanting this for a long time, Shenmue 3 has a HUGE buzz around it, to the point where people who previously had no idea about the game are now interested. All this means Free Money to Sega lol.

Sega is only in this for the money, so they want to get as many eyes as possible on the announcement as that will translate into the most sales for them. The only "big" gaming conference that is coming up, which allows the most eyes (and makes the most sense) is E3. It doesn't make sense for them to just release a blog post, and be like... hey guys we are doing Shenmue HD. It will be covered by the media and will get some impressions but the only people who will pay attention will be the Shenmue fans. If they do it at E3 they will get so so so many more eyes and an overall much bigger press presence. The non Shenmue fans will remember it from the Shenmue 3 announcement and might be more interested now that they can actually play the first 2 games. People who don't know Shenmue, will see people losing their shit lol and will be more interested, much like what happened with the Kickstarter.

IMO, this is the only way that it should be done. E3 is the only place that Sega should announce for maximum impact.

Re: Shenmuehd.com Domain Registered

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the domain registration is now private (it was yesterday when I finally saw the news too) so you can no longer see who owns it. You can't prove that Sega owns these at the current time, as they currently point at a registrar's parking page, although I trust that the previous information is genuine.

My other point to make, which I think has been mentioned already but seems to be ignored, is that they were registered on September 7th of last year and somehow not noticed until now. This alone is good reason not to expect that news is pending in the near future. We already heard from them that they were "looking into" it after those sites had already been registered.

The April release thing is extremely likely to be fake just to help this guy sell more goods at his store. If they were actually doing a physical release, it would have to be released to manufacturing next month. When something gets a physical release, not being announced in advance is not feasible from a sales standpoint. It would also show up in a ratings database (ESRB, etc.) if it was ready for manufacturing, which hasn't happened. A physical release would be nice, I'd buy it. But at this point the existing evidence is not credible.

So many great points! Very interesting that the domain reg is now private. I guess we will just had to do what we are best at doing guys, sit tight and wait lol. E3 is the most likely best time for Sega to drop this bomb. It's not that far away... Only 156 days, not that I'm counting ;)

Re: Are you still hyped?

I am so hyped everyday, and it will stay that way. I am so happy to be getting Shenmue 3 fullstop.

Hyped is an understatement. When E3 happened, I warned my friends that my exorbitant love of Shenmue would surface more often, and in a much more annoying manner. They weren't prepared. I finally got one of them to start playing to shut me up. Turns out he's finding himself really enjoying it (I can't wait until he sees how much bigger Shenmue II is). Unfortunately, I'm still driving him crazy by bugging him to play it each time we hang out (But hey, it doesn't take too much arm twisting, so it can't be that annoying, right).

lol I'm in the same boat :P
I have always talked about Shenmue since... well... since forever ago, but since E3, I have been bringing it up more often. I am now banned from using the word Shenmue and have to think of genius ways to sway the conversation in this direction. I find it hilarious! Once of my mates ended up watching a full Shenmue 1 and 2 playthrough on youtube, and told me he understands why I love it so much.

I also have changed our Discord channels logo to the Shenmue Logo, but they are yet to notice as of yet :D!

Re: Ryuji Iuchi : winter sunset (dedicate to Rodger Swan)

Apparently Rodger Swan was a youtuber who loved Shenmue. The dedication is really heart warming. :(

Yes you are right. He created a video about 8 years ago where he went to Dobuita. He was a huge Sega, Dreamcast and Shenmue fan but sadly passed away and will not get to experience S3. I believe that the video is still on his channel.

Edit: Here is a link.

It's getting a bit more interesting now.

Re: ricedigital.co.uk: Shenmue I&II HD in 2017, SIII maybe 2


When was the last time an HD remaster recieved a dedicated segment at E3? Skyrim definitive version? I can't think of any remaster ever receiving thet much of a platform or stage presence. It's usually just an announcement and bite sized trailer and that's it.

I didn't say anything about stage time, but if we were to see it on the stage it would be in 1 of 2 ways. Either following a section with a Shenmue 3 update, or just in the third party upcoming games trailer. Either way, I do think we will see it on the main stage at Sony.

I don't agree with what you said about them just announcing it with a youtube video. After E3 2015, Shenmue became a big deal thanks to the limelight that was shined on it. It made people who have not heard of the series curious about what it is and why it is so highly regarded. As I keep saying, Sega only made/will make remasters for the easy cash, and if they announce it on their youtube channel, it will get a response but it most likely won't reach those people who were curious back in 2015. Most people will have forgotten the name of the game lol.

In answer to your question, we have seen remakes on the main stage plenty of times. Crash, Infinite Warfare/Modern Warfare, Wind Waker, Skyrim, Day of the Tenticle, Grim Fandango, Last of Us, Dangaronpa, Uncharted. These come to mind but there are a shit ton more.

Re: BluePoint Games at work on a "Classic" remake.

Kinda unrelated but it's nice to see another Shenmue Tweet from Sega. This time it's not even from Sega Europe's account, just the straight up Sega account:

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

How much efforts should the team put into it in order to have something "polished enough" for E3?

Such a valid point here! I am a backer of Star Citizen as well, and they said this exact sentence in regards to last years E3.

In short they said that Dev's take a copy of their current Dev Branch of the game, and spend about a month adding to/removing things from it just to have something to show off at E3. This causes a lot of problems and Chris Roberts (main Star Citizen guy;) said it wastes a lot of time, as it doesn't have anything to do with the actual development of the game.
When they are creating a Demo for E3 they spend time scripting a lot of the scenes and creating specific lighting for everything to look good.
These things will not be used in the final game and they decided it would be better use of their time to just continue development and show something "real" when it is ready.

If you think about it, this will aid the development of the game (which is great) but I also do feel a bit sad that it is going to miss out on all of those eyes on at E3. I would be extremely happy if it was delayed long enough to be at next years E3, which I believe it will :D!

Re: YSNET officially announce the delay of Shenmue 3.

I was out and about when I got the email on my phone. Was low on data and didn't want to watch it on my phone so dropped everything and came back home asap! Even avoided the Dojo so I didn't get any "spoilers" for the update.
As others have said, I am super excited about the delay. The fact that unreal 4 has allowed Ysnet to create a bigger and better game is amazing and am so glad Yu decided on it.
Just done a quick look over all the gaming media and it is so great to see that so many people support the decision to delay!
As Peter said, I am doubling down on a E3 Shenmue HD announcement now, the timing can not get any better for Sega!

Come on Sega, Do what you know is right!
