Shenmue Dojo

Shenmue 1 & 2, at Sega and D3t is about 70% complete, says the latest Famitsu issue.

I got my hands on the Famitsu magazine today, and can confirm that it has "Development Status: 70%" in the same information box as the name of a PR official at SEGA, implying it is sourced officially.

Edit: I'm planning to put up a translation of the article up on Phantom River Stone in the near future.

I'd say we're further along than 70%

Can we get a verification that you are indeed from d3t and not just cashing in on a name for attention?

erm, how would you like me to verify? You could ask an admin to check the email address i signed up with?

Oh, I'm sure. I wasn't trying to be antagonistic, I apologize if it came across that way.

If indeed, very cool that the developers or whomever are kind enough to join us in the Dojo.

oh sorry i didn't take it as antagonistic, I will happily verify myself if you would like to suggest a way. I'm just really not sure how

Let me look into this. Allan, I'm going to send you a PM in a minute. Please keep an eye out.

Assuming you're for real, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. It's really shaping up nicely <3

Welcome Allan. Pleasure to have you on the forums!

Hi Allan, thanks for joining the forum! I'm not sure how much you're at liberty to say, but are you allowed to say how cutscenes will be presented in Shenmue II? Will they be letterboxed for people who select 4:3, and full widescreen for people who select 16:9?

Also, will the stencil/environment shadows from the Xbox version of Shenmue II be implemented at all? I only ever played the Dreamcast version and despite owning an Xbox never felt the urge to own the Xbox version of Shenmue II, but watching the DF Retro episode on the game, it was cool to see environmental shadows that I'd never seen before. Not a deal-breaker if they're not included, though.

Thanks!

Alright, I've had a look and it would seem that the account is legitimate.
