I was living in New Zealand at the time which had pretty awful support for both Sega and Nintendo machines (PAL release dates months after they would come out in North America) unless it was a Sony title or large 1st party Nintendo release it was largely ignored. I bought the Dreamcast as official p...

Thanks for the interview. A couple of quick comments: - Audio levels for Corey were a little fuzzy and he came in and out at times - Didn't particularly care for superhero/movie talk Some good questions but have heard some of this stuff from earlier interviews with Corey. Would loved if you probed h...

I think I've made peace with the fact Shenmue was never going garner a mainstream audience. The pace and nature of the game requires a lot more patience with its moment to moment gameplay than many other traditional sandbox titles. The good news is that hopefully with a dedicated fanbase and intelli...

Best of luck with the project.

Thank you.

Is this news regarding the chapter breakdown? So after Shenmue 3 there will be 5 more chapters to conclude the story?

I don't think this is a result of speeding up the Shenmue story. I think the original Shenmue being as big as it is - in a single location - was down to the fact that Chapter 1 was extended to account for splitting the Shenmue project into two games. From the NHK video and the GDC talk I got the se...

I think what many people forget about when lambasting Shenmue's poor voice-acting is that scripting and dialogue play an equally important job than just the performance of the voice-actors. This becomes even more problematic when you are translating a game written in Japanese into English which is w...

Would one big Shenmue have sold better? Probably. I can see points that would make it more interesting to the general public. It would start of on a greater pace and it could be marketed as a truly huge game, though releasing something on 7 or 8 discs could also cause negative feedback. But should ...

Very interesting stuff. I loved in the original trailers and beta footage how we had a lot of footage of the interiors of rooms and areas. It seems to follow similar shot pattern.

Would kill for some better quality footage.

I've felt like others that Shenmue was Ryo's story and should only be from his perspective. I've avoided spoilers and in-depth interviews with Suzuki but I hope the other playable characters play out like in the film Rashamon. Where you see the same event from different perspectives.

I personally find the original Shenmue to be a grand experiment gone mostly right. After all, they were treading a lot of new ground. As a result, there are sometimes things that work, and things that don't quite work. I think Shenmue is a fine game and a lot of people absolutely love it playing it...

As mentioned earlier it's difficult to chastise the technical shortcomings of the game 15 years after its initial release but I think there's a handful of shortcomings that certainly are valid. The English voice acting and overall direction being probably the most prominent to pin point. One thing I...

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to translate the whole thing, Switch. That truly was a fascinating watch, was very interesting to actually see some of the development and discussions going on. One thing I can take away from it for sure is that Suzuki sure is a strict taskmaster :lol: He def...

Any word when translation will be complete?
