Shenmue Dojo

So what exactly has happened this month. I'm slightly confused as so much has been thrown at us and i'm hearing different things. Can someone put the info down and who it came from. Shenmue.com interviewed one of the guys that designed the shrine in shenmue 1 am i right and said what? Has the other interview happened yet? Has anyone else said anything.

We got a wallpaper of Wong and Fangmei..

And this interview..

The Second victim is "the Great Painter Mamiya."
Q.1: What was your job with the Shenmue series?
A: Creating stages. For Xbox version, many kinds of designs.
Q.2: What are the memorable things?
A: I was in charge of Yamanose and Sakuragaoka. Yamanose Shrine was my
first work and is memorable. For Shenmue II, I worked on the exteriors of
Kowloon Bldgs. and Dou Niu's room. For Xbox, I adjusted shading.
Q.3: Which character is your favorite?
A: Ryo. He's the strongest hero.
Q.4: What kind of project are you working on now?
A: Huh?
Q.5: Give one word to the fans!
A: Thank you always. Keep supporting us.
There'll be a present for the fans, the New Year's card from digitalrex.
You should apply if you want it. (Translation by Kiyuu)

I think nobody really knows, but whatever it is, I want it.

This is what Kiyuu said...

Email Digital ReX (shenmue.com, click contact us) And ask them for the new year's card. 10 lucky winners will get an autographed card from Digital Rex.

I wish they were releasing this new year's card over the internet for everyone. That way it could be possible there's more interesting news on it. (Something similar to last years chi you men pic maybe)

But I doubt that's true because only 10 people are getting it

The "Huh" in the interview sounds interesting :o .

how would you guys feel if digital rex made the first couple of chapters after the cave in movie form (like shenmue the movie) and the rest we would get to play?

I'd be fine with it cos that really isnt that much, 2 chapters. And we havent had a new shenmue in so long so having the start in movie form would get us in the mood, get the story flowing quicker which would be good as shenmues notoriously start slow which puts some people off.

I wouldn't want it to be like that. Is better to make it playable. I want to explore Shenmue. It is one of the best feauture of the game.

i just want shenmue! I want the story to end... even if he got abducted by giant eggplant shaped martians and flew to neptune.... at least I could say... "Well, now, that was an interesting story, glad I expierienced it."

I even asked for Shenmue1 for X-mas (got it) and I dont even have a DC, I have to borrow my cousins to play it.

have you played shenmue 1 yet?
