Ideally, initiatives like this should come from the people running the Kickstarter campaign I think. It seems like it would be easier for them to unite different communities. Ideally yes, it'd be nice and "easier" if Awesome Japan were running things, posting motivational updates every da...

We have a ton of great ideas rattling around, but I think Shenmue Dojo needs to get into war mode; this month is the culmination of all the Dojo has dreamed of for 14 years. We have ONE opportunity, so we really musn't waste it spunking out 100 different topics and getting lost in the noise. Persona...

Will Shenmue III enable PayPal or a means to donate to the project when the Kickstarter ends? Projects like Star Citizen gained tens of millions in donations by allowing this. Suzuki:I am still thinking about it, but have not decided yet. Well that's good news. There's absolutely no downside in doi...

Did they fix the faces already after seeing how much money they were getting? Looks like a photoshop from one of the images the media has published. The model look...

If it's a placeholder, I'm not sure why they're using it when "other" Ryo images look like this... http://i61.tinypic.com/291fczt.jpg http://www.gamespark.jp/article/img/2015/06/17/57874/107658.html Ryo looks a lot more Ryo-like in these, so the question is, if they exist why use the place...

I think we should assume that the kickstarter will raise a low amount of money (even if it won't) so that we have more motivation to raise the money even more, if that makes sense.

http://i62.tinypic.com/1z3td8y.jpg Anyone worrying about S3's Kickstarter needs to see this Kicktraq chart (found on Shenmue 500K fb group). It shows KS donations for Bloodstained day-by-day, which as we know held the previous '24 hrs' record for a KS game (until S3 smashed it this week). Let's put...

Official sources, check. Yu announcement, check. THIS IS THE REAL THING!!! I MUST LOGIN!!!!!

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you read the whole topic the OP jokes about Christmas being his April Fool and in his last post says: "Let's say it was the "magic" of Christmas. PS: do not have a beta of Network Jungle, but if anyone has ... we are willing to buy it :D" ^ Bottom of the first page. Still, hop...

... Another 2003 member that I haven't seen for a long time. And Kiyuu is still keeping a watchful eye in the shadows I see ;) Hey ys. It's been a couple of years, but Shenmue will always have a place in my heart... and the Dojo will always be in my bookmarks. You can bet those shadows hide a lot o...

^ This. Place Ryo near an NPC so he can talk, in a position near a sign that Ryo can 'read aloud' if you zoom in (trigger button). Vendors standing oustide shops worked best for me. Zoom into the sign and Talk to the NPC at the same time. If your timing's right, Ryo will say two things at once. Walk...

^ I was speaking about the character from the books not the movie. I never even mentioned the VA. :roll: :roll: yourself... Nice of you to specify afterwards, but whatever. Let's just completely overlook the fact their voice actors sound almost completely identical because I'm sure you couldn't hav...

Nice observation.

Shenmue's English dub came out before the first LOTR movie, so Chai's VA had the sound first. The books notwithstanding, as they're voiceless.

Maybe Gollum's VA was a Shenmue fan...

The apathy and indifference in here is fucking depressing. We all play violent games - most likely we've all played a FPS simulating shooting a load of enemies, and got enjoyment out of it. Films have shootouts in, books do, media nearly always has found thrills in violence. But rape? That's a diffe...

Newer Shenmue fans like the TC may come up with some crazy ideas, but the reactions of certain long-time users to slap down anything they dare to suggest is simply counter-productive, and rather sad to witness. Let the newer Shenmue fans get on with whatever publicity-seeking idea they want. Just be...
