I'm actually surprised that with such a dedicated fan base, that someone with some knowledge of typography and design hasn't actually sent some mockups of a logo to Suzuki. I know if I was experienced with that sort of thing, I would send through my suggestions and would gladly offer to do it for fr...

I agree that it's the NPCs that have a huge impact on how realistic the game feels. One area I would like to see improved is the flow of conversations. I'm currently playing through Shenmue and had forgotten how disjointed parts of conversations can feel at times. Someone will tell you something whi...

Perhaps it will end up like one of those cheesy TV programs where Ryo will wake up in a psychiatric hospital, believing that he is a martial arts expert avenging his father's death, when in reality he was just a forklift driver at the docks. Shenmue 3 could switch between Ryo on his adventure in Chi...

I think a big problem is that we know too much. Because we know that there was supposed to be 11 chapters but some were cut, we're disappointed. Had we not known about them, then we would be none the wiser and would be perfectly happy with the story as it is.

For those of you who have been following the Monaco Magic thread may have seen an interview with Yu Suzuki. In it he describes that Shenmue III will cover chapters 5 and 6, but I was under the impression that we'd already had those chapters. Certainly the Shenmue dojo forums suggest that SIII should...

I don't think there's any need to have an option to disable it. I would imagine the guest book will be something that you will physically have to look at (like the many draws and objects in houses), so if you're bothered about breaking immersion, just don't look at it :) As other people have mention...

If Sega ever releases Shenmue HD, or if Shenmue III used the d-pad on the PS4 version, would you be annoyed? I don't know if I'd be that bothered for one reason - the PS4 has a much better d-pad than either the Dreamcast and the Xbox. Personally I think playing SIII would be weird not using modern c...

I'd quite like them for 2 reasons: 1) for nostalgia and 2) because I have a terrible memory. Seeing the place names, date and time was always useful because it reminded me of where and when it was. How many location names do you honestly think you'd remember if you weren't shown them all the time? I...

Unless we get the HD remasters, I don't think we'll be getting this feature. As for selecting the items you had previously, I think this would lead to a lot of dishonesty in people just picking items they never actually had (or like me, just plain don't remember). If anyone's played the Xbox version...

I know it's too early to judge the games visuals based on what's been shown so far, but how important are the graphics to you? The screenshots released in the latest Kickstarter didn't look horrendous to me, but I do think that the lighting is far too harsh (especially in the first screenshot and th...

I was browsing these forums on my phone when I got the push notification about the Kickstarter update - I literally sneaked with excitement (I'm not ashamed to admit that).

I then squeaked some more when I saw there were screenshots
