YuSuzuki, creator of Shenmue @GDC "Updated"

[alimn]

Forgot to add...
During the conversation or maybe at the end,
I told him, that I am studying in the field of game design/3d
(well, LOL! I gave my biz card to him to introduce myself to him easier)
, and I also told him I have been just a bit to martial arts because of You and Shenmue,

Believe me Shenmue have been playing a big part in my life, even my college friends know about that...he he.

And I am in US, as of now...I have kinda moved here, not only to study...but also spending a portion of my life.

One more point!

When I asked Yu,
Shenmue Gai on Face Book?

It was the moment he showed me the prototype image for Shenmue on smartphones,
and he said, in fact I have a plan for Shenmue on iPhone, Android and such devices.

This is nothing special, cuz before me....the news was already out however
I was one of the first ones, by the time....so the news was not on the interent
and Thanks to Yu on trusting me...and I didn't plan to reveal this until I see it has been already revealed.

BTW
I think Yu signed my Shenmue in his Japanese form of signature and VF in western,
I plan to post their pics, at some point, withe the GDC papers showing Suzuki's name
and info about his work.,

The GOOD thing is that his room 135 lecture is already UP! on gamespot...not complete but as much as needed.

I am jealous, i must say. I dunno, maybe in the future i could travel to see him when i had the funds, but by then i could have a family, plus Suzuki may be already out of the gaming scene. Either way, well done Ali. Meeting the creator of Shenmue, and having a signed copy of the game is a pretty amazing achievment. Its one i fear i will never have the opportunity to do.

Great job Alimn! You did what all of us have never been able to do. Meet the man himself. Grats x1000. You must have nearly had a heart attack.

[Supa]

Congrats, alimn! Hope you had a blast with Yu. He seems like such a nice guy, so genuine.

Maybe the 200th time it's been posted.

[R3N]

Wow Awesome!.
You did something most of us could only dream of.
You should had post all in here.
Some people here hate twitter.

Hey everyone...

I just launched my channel over TwitchTV,
in order to keep in touch more with Shenmue fans, game talk and more...

Show times and other plans will be annouced at the channel's page

So, please check / follow/ like or whatever you prefer!

(I wish Dojo makes a Twitch TV channel, some one some times plays Shenmue
and we can chat while the person is playing...however, up until that time
I may do this, not sure about when to play Shenmue on Twitch
but I plan for a weekly meeting, like 11 pm Saturdays PS Time)

Ok, this is the address:

Alimn when is Shenmue 3 coming out? just messing my friend, how are you doing?

[ThyDarkAngel]

Only Alimn to make one believe that being positive, a tad naive even, in such a cynic world still pays off.
And here many good people were known to think he was a joke.

YOU ROCK, ALIMN!

You know what's interesting...
even though it's now about 20 days past...
I FEEL IT WAS YESTERDAY!

I miss Yu ,

I worked so hard to find Yu and see him,
while I saw Kojima and Hiroshi totally by chance, unexpected and unwanted...

As for Suzuki I met him first at SEGA's part by tracking him down via
his tweet hint, the next day, I got into the forbidden room 135
by help and also I saw him when he left and came back on his way
to the game developer choice award ceremony, ...and of course
I was there while he was speaking, and I made some loud noise
to admire him "LOL!, Kojima's table was very near to me...
I think my loud noise bothered him, lol...just joking"

As for Hiroshi and Kojima, I met them right after I saw Suzuki
san for the second time, and I gave him special nuts from persia
as a gift...

Also the next day, I had the chance to track him down,
cuz he tweets burgers at burger bar are good!
and I knew where is he...but come one, the man has a life to live,
so I controlled myself and didn't go after him for a third meeting.

Well, thanks a lot everyone...I will post his signature on
my disc at some point, but sorry can't reveal his nice buisness card,
and even I don't want to bother him in anyway...
remember, people sent too many emails to Shenmue.com and his
SEGA mail, what happened? he finally decided to change it...
so I don't want this happens again.

His twitter is good for all of us, but even there,
especially now that Japan has exprienced a disaster,
we better be nice, and supportive...

There is no doubt that Shenmue 3 was in his mind,
even while he was talking with me more than any of us,
and of course...as Mr.Cerny (the one asking questions at GDC from Yu
and the one who introduced him when he showed up at ceremony award)...
Cerny stated that YS NET, his own company is a re-boot (a start key)
I heard him while he was talking with some developers and etc,...
that "This is truly amazing, this man has not been around for years,
but now he is back and building up, starting up from his own studio?
not sure...he said pocket or house-he probably meant YS NET, his own studio
just to deliver his mission which is of course, the conclusion of Shenmue Saga"

Hope SEGA has a special plan for Shenmue I and II,
perhaps a HD release on DISC for X360 and PC or also PS3.

And hope Suzuki's ideas Shenmue Town on iPhone and Android happens.

Best Regards, Ali M.N

Hey Ali,

Well done for meeting the big man. I've been on these forums longer than most here and I always see you crop up. I'm currently in China after Shenmue's effect on me so I can sympathise with yours (and many others') love and fanaticism. But you got there in the end and I'd like to thank you for mentioning the love and respect the members at the Dojo have for Yu.

Peace.

Thanks, yes...I exactly told him, we love you at Shenmue Dojo...hope he understood what I said...
I have been to China twice....(honestly the best place I have ever been in my life time, and I
wish some day I can live and die there...I loved Beijing and Shanghai)

I like some day I can visit Hong Kong or even foshan, wudang, shaolin...awesome birthplaces of Kung Fu!
