Eh, WB just lost a theater sale with that trailer, I'll be waiting till I can watch it at home now, reasons being: - Pretty much the whole plot has been revealed - Annoying as hell Lex - Crappy looking Doomsday - Shot of the 3 was ho-hum - Quips and dialogue seem pretty poorly written in And I actua...

Just finished Child of Light recently, and really enjoyed the fairy tale-esque soundtrack. Something you might imagine a classic 16-bit RPG having if orchestrated music was available back in the day. The composer, Cœur de pirate, is a French Canadian singer-songwriter, great call by Ubisoft Montreal...

On a scale of 1-10, how spoilerific is the spoiler? (still haven't clicked on on it yet)

I specifically remember when traveling in Uganda and India, people would sometimes give the wrong information if you asked them for directions. The reasoning, I suspect, is that they didn't want to appear stupid and therefore decided to give some information, even if they weren't sure about it. It c...

I'm hoping there is still room to expand the scope of the game with they PayPal money though!

This was the very first thing I thought of. Wouldn't they want to see how much they can bring in via Paypal to see if they can add additional scenarios?

A couple of things: - After Hong Kong and Kowloon, not sure how I am going to react to the smaller physical scope of the game. - Also not sure why Chai is supposedly coming back. - Hoping that there won't be too much magical stuff. - Hope the game story progresses a bit more than "chase Lan Di ...

I've actually thought about tracking down a phone in the game so I can call Nozomi and Fuku-san.

Sounds it was Suzuki-san who brought up Kickstarter to them first. Wonder what would Gio would have said if he had said "Give me $20 million."

The last name thing is also used with elders whom it is customary to greet in a more formal context. He doesn't do this in hong kong for various reasons, because Jianming, Guixiang etc. introduce themselves by their first names and meet Ryo when he's an adult, while people like Yamagishi san in Dob...

But to the extent that there is a melody, after listening to it for 3 or 4 hours, it will start to wear on your mind and annoy you… as such, my closest image for the music of Shenmue was buddhist sutras. There’s something mysterious about them, and I asked Mitsuyoshi to try and match that image. Wo...

I thought of a comment/question that I'm not sure has been addressed in the past. Chinese is like Japanese in that people are usually addressed by their family names unless they are exceptionally close, family, or much younger. Heck, Ryo and Nozomi only call each other by their family names in Japan...

Looking forward to the interview! Although I'd love to know more about III, I think I'd wait for the game, as I already regret watching the spoiler in the Niconico interview. Here are some of my questions (including upvotes for ones already asked): (Already asked) - Curious about Shenmue Online, can...

Whoa, never saw this video until now, I feel like I'm getting a peek at Shenmue III already.
I can already imagine running around Chinese villages to the first track.

By the way, Cangzhou is there because Hebei province is supposed to be the birthplace of Bajiquan. Additionally, according to Wikipedia: "Meng Village (Mengcun) is said to be the original birthplace of Baji Quan, or at least the modern versions of the art.[8] Baji is still widely practiced ther...

From Luoyang, the text definitely looks like it's Cangzhou, although Cangyanshan would be cool. The "end" in red is hard to make out too, but it seems to be Beijing.
