I felt more rushed in shenmue 2 and less freedom than the first game.

I would make don niu (spelled it wrong I know) a bit easier to beat.

NO MORE FREAKIN CRATE LIFTING!! :x

I thought the voice acting was better in 2 but still needs improvement.

I would have loved to be able to write to Nozomi and her call/write to me.

And maybe get to call home.

But I LOVED the WIDE open area to roam in. I would not change that.

I would have used the much vaunted X-Box capabilities, not to improve the polygon count or make the lighting fancier, but to merge all the quarters into one. I'd have Aberdeen as one area, WanChai as another, then in Kowloon the whole area of Thousand White, Stand and Dim Sum as a single area, with the buildings as separate areas as needed, although I'd incorporate the 6th floor into each building so that there was no reload just for those floors.

I'd add the ability sit down on a bloody park bench. Is that so much to ask?

Yeh that's a good one! You could even merge Aberdeen and Wan Chai together and just have like the area name zoom in on the screen or something when you get there. And say like a smaller version for each smaller area, and building etc. So the whole game is constantly flowing!

Cause like, you'd still find out the date and time from your watch and calender...

Yeah, less loading times between areas would be very nice indeed ^^
I'd also would have put the cassette player back in lol.

yea i miss the cassette player in shenmue 1 i collected all the cassettes, maybe ryo loses it on the boat to hong kong.

I think it'd be cool (and I know I'm not being realistic here) if they had a movie theatre where you could watch various kung fu movies and learn new moves from them!!!
Yeah!!!
Or maybe you could just watch the various movies that came out in Hong Kong that year (didn't A Better Tomorrow 2 come out in '87?).

I didnt understand why you couldnt call Ine-san and Fuk-san. I would think that they would want to know how Ryo was doing.

Post subject: if you were making shenmueII what features would you add?

I would give the players the choise to be able to skip the cutscenes.(sometimes when you replay Shenmue 2, u want to skip certain cutscenes but you don't have the choise.)The option to be able to choose Japanese with Subtittles or the opposite... I would include better arcade games in Shenmue 2. like Street of rage 2, any sonic games from the Genesis. Is all i can think for the time being.

(In case you didn't know this, you can skip certain scenes - the most important being the fight against Greg with the interminable cutscene with Ren. You press B twice to skip it.)

oh yeah i knew about that one, and others... But there are many others cutscenes during the game that you can't skip...

by **Cyberman** » Thu Nov 20, 2003 3:20 pm

The ability to go where ever you please. (Like going inside of peope's houses for instance)

by **G Money Slick** » Thu Nov 20, 2003 4:35 pm

For Ryo to be able to say YES when people offer him food.

No loading times for Shenmue II, with its current graphics engine, is quite possible on the Xbox. The game could be streamed, much like Jak and Daxter was on the PS2, and the HDD would allow it to be implemented easily.

Anywho, seeing as Shenmue II is my favorite game of all time, there is not much I would change in it. The only things I would add:

1. Add the casette tape player.
2. Add forkilift driving instead of crate carrying.

There is of course the voice acting, but I got used to it after playing both Shenmues so many times.

if you were making shenmueII what features would you add?
