WIP or not, they could have saved themselves the [massive] headache by just revamping the Passport models. Old fans would have been happy since those are essentially the ones they grew up with, while new fans… still wouldn’t give a crap. Problem solved, and money saved. But noooo, Ryo and Shenhua j...

I think you've missed the point in my post. It's no longer the same, because it isn't . It's 20 years later, and pointing to old models as the peak of what Ys Net can achieve is... pointless. There's no other way of putting it now, that composite shot has been posted enough times that it should be ...

Genuinely, I think we just need to let the Dreamcast models go as some unshakeable vision of what the character has to look like. Surely you’ll take this back at some point. Then what is the end they’re trying to achieve with the models if there isn’t a vision of what the character has to look like...

I wish they had gone with Kid Nocon's character model of Ryo rather than the one they're going with in the latest images shown. That was basically just the passport model/All Stars Racing model though. I just... I don't see how that's better. Even when rendered in UE4 for the amazing Hazuki Dojo re...

I wish they had gone with Kid Nocon's character model of Ryo rather than the one they're going with in the latest images shown. I know there'll be improvements on the models but Nocon's character model is the best resemblance I've seen to Ryo's design in Shenmue 1 and 2. The closer the model resembl...

Wow so the chase behind Lucky Plaza occurs when it’s dark? That’d be cool to see! I’d love to see a clip of that. I figured there might have been an obscure cutscene where Ryo goes back to wong’s boat and talks about Ren running away. That would’ve been kinda cool but at least I now know what happen...

When Ryo finds Ren and members of his gang in Pigeon park, he has to give chase when they run away but what happens if Ryo doesn’t chase them and he just stands still? Has anyone done this? I was thinking of doing this myself but I thought I’d ask if anyone has already done this to save me the time ...

To those fans who are unhappy with the news, I mean it's not exactly terrible news is it? We're being assured a 2019 S3 release will be much better game than a 2018 release so just be happy you'll be getting the best possible game that they can give you. And it's not like you've got nothing Shenmue-...

Shenmue 2 before Ryo goes to Guilin. Is that chapters 2 and 3? Not that I didn't like Guilin because I really did; I felt Guilin was a delightful counterpoint to chapters 2 and 3 with its wondrous natural landscapes and beautiful soothing music, but chapters 2 and 3 is where the action is at. Action...

With the releases of both Shenmue HD and S3 currently scheduled for 2018, it’s quite conceivable that both games could be released around the same time. This leads to a quagmire (albeit a rather pleasant one) of getting copies of both games around the same time and not being sure which one to play f...

Bizarrely enough, I’d be rather relieved to hear that the release has been delayed until 2019. It would indicate to me that they haven’t rushed anything and that the makers are delighted with the finished article. For whatever reason, a 2018 release wouldn’t fill me with much confidence that we’d be...

I ordered 3 copies; 2 ps4 copies and 1 Xbox one copy. One is for myself and the other two for my nephews. Hopefully, they'll love the games and they'll recommend them to their friends.

Unless anyone can think of why it be necessary to retain the load screens? Before we get into this, are you just expecting load times short enough where the classic load screens don't appear and moving to new areas is done with a simple fade down/fade up, or somehow making the original games seamle...

Yeah definitely some modern way of transitioning between areas would be a welcome change. It's just not necessary now to wait several seconds in real time for the next area to load with these eighth-gen consoles being as powerful as they are. It just wouldn't make any sense and would unnecessarily d...

https://www.365games.co.uk/search/shenmue If you're from the UK then I would recommend preordering the game from 365games.co.uk as they're on for sale for the lowest price as far as I'm aware. You don't even have to register an account before you make your order as they give you the option to pay vi...
