I remember there was someone who was adamant that the virtua fighter games should be in shenmue and it wouldn't be weird.
i think it's weird that people would even want that. Why not just go play virtua fighter, or Yakuza?
same goes for the cell phone thing. you could just play GTA if that's what you want.
as for the guy that's asking about cell phones and pagers, you do realize that China hadn't yet fully transitioned out of communism in the 80's right?
anyway, if you haven't played the games, don't take it personally if people seem a bit obnoxious. a lot of people who played the game are pretty passionate about it, and your suggestion sounds ridiculous to people that understand the games, and their settings. nothing personal though, and I hope you do get around to checking out Shenmue one way or another.
just don't make a mod where Ryo has an iPhone

actually it would be great advertising for them, just as it was when the original games were released.
if anything it would work better now, because vintage 80s and 90s products are really popular because of nostalgia. so brands that have vintage products benefit from their placement.
also, the actual watch in the game never existed but it was based on an 80s Timex. I'm pretty sure Timex will be on board this time. If they're not, it isn't going to ruin the game. But I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't license their brand again.
