The whole thing is a big relief, THANK GOD AND I HOPE EVERYONE READ THIS CAREFULLY
1-Shenmue is back, in a new form of entertainment which can appeal into more audience and makes a better preparation for SEGA to announce Shenmue 3,
now a days even my friends who have stopped playing games since MANY YEARS ago, now are enjoying Face Book and other social-small sized games (Mafia War and etc),
don't tell me you have not tried them or already enjoying them (There are now even 3d games on face book like the one which is called "Billions" with
Wii+ graphics), so Shenmue for PC and iPhone(sorry phones) is defiantly bigger than a Shenmue for Dreamacast...
small in dev, big in audience.
2-SEGA is talking, finally...big faces, big words...Thanks to Shenmue's return by Yu Suzuki and SUNSOFT (SEGA has only the main Shenmue name copyright as for this one!),
now time for those SAMMY fella to get into action, if they do not want to go through another crisis, they must keep up with the changes and new directions plus people's respond
is all they need.
3-YS NET, read the part bellow to realize how it is gonna define the future of Shenmue and playing a new chapter in "THE WHOLE GAMING WORLD"
YS NET, the world is going to be NET and YS may be the new leader of world,...let's simply tell "gaming world"
(At least his Shenmue and Virtua Fighter plus arcade simulations were the leaders of current games,
VF=first 3d polygonal fighter,
Shenmue=first free roaming game with tons of elements such as Quick Time Event
Hang On, Out Run, After Burner, Space Harrier and ...ALL have an influence on today's racing, and ...games)
Ok, let's talk about YS NET
"Basically it is near to SEGA in map,
and connected to SEGA for sure otherwise why SEGA's name is around
and YS is still a SEGA employee"
So,...SEGA owns a share of it, (like Prope)...
we can NOT call this studio a small studio, for a techie like Yu Suzuki who has been always working
on big stuff, and a mastermind which has been thinking about bringing realirty in a form of entertainment into our lives even before we know about games!,
YES, HE IS NEVER gonna do crap, cheap stuff or working with a small team...
Yu Suzuki is truly an all time advanced developer, stuff happens in everyone's life (why some can not see his super long list of game titles!)
...having two major titles canceled like Psy-Phi or Shenmue Online is not a big deal at all, (many companies have canceled projects, more than this)
In fact I like Shenmue City more than Online because
1-Everyone can play it, even west if know Japanese (thanks to today's softwares)
...it's a matter of time for west to get it official.
2-It is not only for China or Korea...It is for the heart of gaming world "JAPAN",
ATARI killed gaming...but Nintendo brought it back...so, no doubt JAPAN is the KING.
3-It has the Shenmue Chapter 1 feeling which is simply lovely,
check out the first GAMEPLY details here
http://sunsoft.jp/shenmue-gai/about_shenmue-gai.html4-It is gonna make them some money, some more respect and some more Shenmue users!
YS NET is not digital rex (Psy-Phi and Shenmue Online) or AM Plus
(even AM Plus could deliver a major title like SEGA RACE TV although Yu Suzuki was
generally the head of the studio by that time)
YS NET is gonna big, they already opened their twitter and so many people are following in a bunch of hours,
(Perhaps Yu Suzuki is tweeting himself!)
all these years, now we were like where is Yu Suzuki?
now, that Shenmue-gai, YS NET and SUNSOFT are tweeting about the whole story with the latest piece of info
we are wondering if this? or if that?
Come one, we could never have such official links a few years ago (don't tell me you can not
use Google Translate to get yourself some hot-first in the line news, I have been doing this since
the first minute and I feel Yu Suzuki and Shenmue is now more near to me than ever)
I love the whole thing, the whole thing feels positive...don't believe it?
so, why we already have these OFFICIAL links? and hundreds more over the net....
http://www.shenmue.com/index_jpn.htmlhttp://sunsoft.jp/shenmue-gai/about_shenmue-gai.htmlhttp://www.ysnet-inc.jp/https://twitter.com/shenmue_gaihttps://twitter.com/YSNET_IncInternet is the future, cloud computing is coming, services such as Onlive, Dave Perry's Gai Kai or social games on Face Book
like Billions or Mafia Wars,
the whole thing we knew about traditional gaming and having a disc with a art box is gonna get changed in no time,
in future you will turn on a device and it will stream Windows, games, everything for you...you may even send
your mind completely in another part of the world exploring stuff in virtual reality and more
(combing Kinect with NET and MORE? stuff like this are already starting)
...we may even install chips inside our bodies for some special
functionality, that sounds scary...but it's like getting a flu shot, nothing really painful!
^All said above, perhaps is the reason for Yu Suzuki to call it YS NET,
in short "NET" is the future and as his message says he can NOT stop making games until he dies,
and hopefully we will have Yu Suzuki around for many years to come...
so YS NET maybe the next big JAPAN developer...but not with negative, or blind or not-deep thinking comments...
Let's stop spreading the negative energy, and think more carefully...a bit deep...and keep our eyes OPEN on
every single click, news, comment, link,
Shenmue is back, SEGA is warming up FINALLY, Yu Suzuki is working hard....AWESOME!
That's all we were dieing for all these hard years.
I remember his older interviews, the G4 one...
that someone said...we can't tell but this guy is after something,
that soon will bring something totally different to this world...
and that's why I always believed in Yu and still admiring him.
