If I'm not mistaken, there currently are no questions about the free battle mechanic in the AMA!

I missed the AMA. Ended up gong to a con in Sac at the last minute. Kinda bummed out. Did anyone ask about the possibility of a bicycle being implemented into Shen3? It's the one thing I wish they kept in the first game.

As for III, I would like to make a less stressful user interface, that will feature more usability. From now on, I will make that a focus.

I really hope that doesn't mean dumbing everything down.

Best case scenario would be Shenmue 4 or 5 like planned. He'll do his best to no compromise.

He said he originally planned 4-5 games to realise the full 11 chapters. With today's storage capabilities he could fit them all in to shenmue 3 given the resources so it doesn't really answer the question of what he plans to do now.

Not a matter of storage. He needs more funds to create all 11 chapters. To make all of the remaining chapters fit into Shenmue 3 would probably cost way more than he will have.

I trust you're an expert on video game budgets and have had extensive talks with Yu Suzuki on what resources he needs then to be able to say that so confidently.

Reposted my original question:

One of the things that will eventually happen in the community is the creation of mods like texture/skin packs where fans will swap textures and other things to give it a classic Dreamcast look. Do you support that and are there any plans of you guys releasing some mods of your own?

Didn't the interview with the producer earlier today confirm that it's being scrapped for a new battle system?

[shenhua legend]

The Ryo face he has in his mind, lol

You bet. We're probably better off e-mailing them our questions, in the interest of actually moving forward here with real and meaningful game development.

Obviously I'm not, but I'm sure people will agree with me that it's budget.

It's still going on

Yu are my hero!

Shenmue is credited with introducing the QTE. Given the significant advances in gaming systems and technology over the last decade, are you confident that you can show the gaming world something we have not seen before?
