Oh and by the way that's the level of care a Shenmue Remaster should get, anything less than this will extremely dissapoint me. Should being the keyword here-- I agree. But it positively won't. Not only is Yakuza a proven cash cow for Sega, but Kiwami was made of mostly re-used assets: they already...

hey and also another tought...because when we are done with graphical effects maybe it would be possible to do same texture tuning like for example in the Witcher 3 mods for HD Textures?? I have played in my life a bit with photoshop, ZBrush and other graphical stuff and I am pretty sure that I am ...

That's a kerosene stove, popularly used for heating offices and classrooms (and homes in some cases). Still used to this day!

The train segment on the Saturn is possible. You don't have to show the train moving through expansive locations. There's ways ways to work around hardware limitations and get story the accross. I don't doubt that they could have pulled off a high-speed train scene on the Sega Saturn. But I do doub...

This is really cool, I'll have to check it out when I'm home.

I wish I could make stuff like this.

Having booted the game up today (no patches, woohoo, just like Gravity Rush 2! Straight into the game) and beaten Chapter 1, I have to say that I think this might have been the best opening chapter in the Yakuza series yet. I couldn't help but to try it out just a little while ago myself, and man, ...

What a game. Sat up all night and finished Chapter 1. Sitting like a zombie in work, thinking about nothing but going home and putting another 8 hours in. This is a game I will be addicted to until I get 100% Also have to say it helps if you have been to Tokyo and experienced these places, particul...

I'm not into developing videogames and coputer stuff, so I'm asking this question to those who have better knowledge: is it so hard to revamp Shenmue the same way Sony did with Crash Bandicot? I know Shenmue is a completely different game and maybe a lot more complicated, but I was wondering if we ...

I recall some discussions about the size of the world in Shenmue III... with Yu Suzuki's comment in that regard being that it will be similar to Dobuita in Shenmue I. Initially I was a little disappointed with that scale, but after re-playing it a bit I can acknowledge that there's still quite a lo...

Does anyone know what's flying and hitting Ryo's head on this gif?

I'm assuming that's a kuro-mame (black bean), a traditional food in Japan during New Year's celebrations.

I personally would love a delay, and I also expect it. This game really has a lot going against it (outside of our community of course) and I want it to be as perfect as it can be. Of course, Suzuki would never ship the game incomplete or in a state of poor quality, so I'm not super worried. I've wa...

As far as it being released, I'd say 8/10. It would basically be franchise suicide, I think, to simply release the third game in the series without any sort of easy access to its proceeding titles. This isn't a situation like Fallout 3 where idiots can blissfully jump in and pretend the first two ga...

It's really interesting that the non-native English speakers find the English in Shenmue to be fine :) I get the same thing (I am fluent in Japanese) when I can't tell whether or not a bit of Japanese audio is "bad." I will tell you, as a native English speaker, that the voice acting for t...

The first two jars are definitely senbei (Japanese rice crackers), but I'm still not 100% sure what the blue snacks are. I will say, though, that they're definitely blue and not tinted by the glass.

Oh wow, that price! I'm so tempted. I bought a copy of this on eBay for $20 when I was a kid, but my mom's boyfriend at the time stole it along with the rest of my game collection. dude, seriously what the fuck...! what a terrible thing 8-[ Yeah I didn't have a great childhood. Going on 29 now and ...
