Not shocking, all those expecting any announcement of importance was setting themselves up for dissapointment. What I gather is, all things are pointing to E3, making or breaking the series. It certainly seems they are working on Shenmue III and it looks like they are planning on showing something i...

There is a fine line between realism adding to a game, or taking away from a game and becoming monotonous. Having to feed Ryo, and make him shower certainly fit into the latter category. What I would like to see adeed/changed: -Many people complain about the poor voice-acting (Myself included), but ...

I think it would be more lazy programming and using the same assets, rather than a link in the storyline (Because it does sound a little too convinent).

Maybe I am wrong, good observation nonetheless.

My intial impression was dissapointment, however after reading IGN's preview and looking at a video of Cyber Generation, my thoughts changed. We all hoped it would be in the vain of Shenmue, but thinking about it logically, that was the most unlikley case. Futher, as someone has said would we really...

Things like this, really make Shenmue the special game it is.

I have got some myself (Probaly already been asked/discussed before). It mainly deals with the conflicting stories from Master Chen and Zhu Yuanda regarding the mirrors and how and whom they were taken by. Master Chen says Iwao Hazuki and Yuanda took the mirriors together, yet latter in Shenmue 2 we...

I agree, it's fun trying to set up your own shots. There is one good thing about snapping from the cutscenes, though: it really shows off the sheer beauty of the compositions. Everything is framed so perfectly... I can't think of any games that equal Shenmue 1/2 for artistic quality. Couldn't agree...

Your friend is correct you can't make phone calls in Shenmue 2. Why? Not sure but I think a lot people would have loved that, along with the inclusion of the cassette-player. A lot of the small details from the original were removed or scaled down (Like picking up and examining objects); this was do...

If you listened he said after the first game there are 15 more remaining chapters which is correct since Shenmue 1 only covered the first chapter.

The voice-acting is pretty average at best, with some characters being passable while others just get on your nerves and come across extremely grating. I still think the biggest problem with the series is the script-writing which takes a lot away from the serious setting, themes and cinematic flair ...

While I certainly believe the Dreamcast incarnation is the superior version (Mainly thanks to the dub and ability to transfer money/moves/toys to the sequel), doesn't mean the Xbox port is completely useless. The slowdown which was pretty aparent in the Dreamcast version is gone, and thanks to the i...

Guys I can attach all these pictures except the two pictures I want. They are very big but I am having a real fucking problem attaching them, if someone has their own webspace I can e-mail them to you and you can show the pics. Thanks.

Sorry, not sure why the images aren't showing (I can see the first one load, from time to time).

Here are some interesting (Pretty rare I must assume) pictures my friend sent me of the Jets seen in Shenmue 2. Enjoy :) http://64.4.16.250/cgi-bin/saferd?_lang=EN&hm___tg=http%3a%2f%2f64%2e4%2e16%2e250%2fcgi%2dbin%2fgetmsg&hm___qs=curmbox%3dF000000001%26a%3d4fb2f19900b705c0a5c98e10f1e5ead0%26msg%3d...
