Ryo would be an amazing addition to doa5.

Full disclosure: I bought the collector's edition for the ta ta's.


haha, awesome. Xbox?


Yes. My pref would have been the ps3 version but ebgames was sold out of it so I went 360. But it's good times all the same.

I'm sorry but that's a lame reason not to have him in the game again and yes the main appeal to the first for me was Ryo so i wont be getting this right away.

Lundi from Panzer Dragoon Zwei would be perfect for this game considering that Lagi already transforms in that game. Also would like to see Alis from Phantasy Star, Shou/Tillis from Burning Rangers, or even a Chao from Sonic (I love these guys :oops: )


Also... really hoping Billy Hatcher returns.

It's a shame that Ryo won't be in the game but Sega has such a great cast of mascots/characters that I can't be too upset that he's missing, but I will be a little upset :sad:

I thought they just said there wouldn't be a Shenmue track? They mentioned not wanting a harbour specifically.

Be a shame if he isn't in this game because he was my main character for how fast he was. Transformed looks miles better than the first, with or without Ryo..

That's what I thought. Ryo was in the first one, but there wasn't a Shenmue-themed level, was there?

I thought all the original characters from the first were included, and they were explaining the lack of a Shenmue-themed level again.

Yea, but thats the point. There was no Shenmue level in the original game, but Ryo was. This time however, they are saying that the franchise was omitted from this game, which was in the first game

Wilson also explained why one particular franchise that appeared in the original Sonic & All-Stars Racing - Shenmue - couldn't be included.

It looks like Shenmue simply isn't popular enough to be included this time around.

Thats how it's coming off to me anyway. I brought the first game for Ryo, now that he's missing i don't see a point.

I'll pick it up when it's a tenner to see Vyse i guess.

Maybe....

They don't own the IP anymore?

Not too sure on that. Are gaming companies allowed to let an IP go out to more than one developer at the same time?

Would of thought so if they agreed to let someone use it. What other developer are you referring to?

Pretty sure the only thing deconfirmed so far is a Shenmue track

No this

confirms no Shenmue related stuff at all simply because they didn't want to do a docks level cause it seems Shenmue 1 and II are set 100% at a dock.

That is pretty damn ignorant of them isn't it. Fine don't include it, but don't make the reason be that you didn't think a dock track would work out.

Imagine this. A track set in the wilds and hills of Guilin.

This is very disappointing. Everybody I know, including myself, who got the first game, did so only because Ryo was in it. Still, I love the franchise. It's just really unfortunate that Sega doesn't grasp how much people want to buy what only they have.
