Weirdest thing here: I tried the demo for Kiwami 2, and was thinking I was going to be ridiculously overcome with nostalgia and ear-to-ear grins... but it just didn't really happen. Seeing everything in the newest engine just doesn't really do it for me like I thought it would. Turns out the origin...

I wish we had a takeback. Id give anything for 24 more hours. To be open, i cannot 100% say that the history section will be complete before tomorrow. I am working as fast as i can, but how far i get is unknown at this point. Blame 2003. Not to worry, wasn't really expected by me as a launch feature.

That will mean we will ALL be starting from scratch. You will all need to register new accounts on the new boards once they go live with the new site. Hmm.. I wonder if I should keep my current avatar or change to a new one? Don't do it! How I remember you from back in the day. Although I'm one to ...

Remember the great revolution of 2013? (I think it was 2013, right?) fun times. See you on the other side, comrades. this was half way thru my decade absence. What happened? When yama took over...? I lurked twice or thrice a year, so i remember the current design launch and Yama announcement but ne...

Planet Xbox: https://web.archive.org/web/20020407152520/http://www.planetxbox.com:80/shenmuedojo/ Wow! There's not only a blast from the past, but also a bit of revelation. Based on my joined date and loss of memory I'd assumed i never went to the gamespy site. Never joined, but definitely was a vi...

I was going to contribute but then I watched that teaser/trailer and that cheesy opening scene changed my mind. That and the fact that it includes a billion talking heads... Koralik's E3 video with Corey mArshall is cheesy. That wasn't too badly done, really. Also... it is a documentary..... there'...

Despite my decade of solitary Shenmue fandom, will miss my June 2003 join date stamp-of-elitism haha. C'est la vie!

i hope they include more than just 3 saves slots for S1. 2x was given a lot more save slots--can't imagine the same not being done for the original. Something important, yet so small not even worst touting by Sega or D3T. Not end of the world if somehow it is overlooked. Personally, always did fine...

The comment/wording in the KS update makes it seem like battling AI is almost like an add-on, will we have to modes of combat ? Like the regular and the newer "auto lock on-cinematic stuff" that YS talked about ? Sort of do hope the AI-batling/lock on (mutual exclusive?) is optional, or a...

I been playing Shenmue lately with av input and I have no problems with the graphics like some people are complaining I think the game looks great. I replay a lot of older games from PS2/Gamecube/Dreamcast era and I don't care about graphics I still enjoy the games for having good gameplay. If you'...

Honestly I wish Shenmue 2 never had time skip, theres so much more to do and see than the first game. I agree. But I disagree with it being needed in the first game too. Personally I could never understand someone wanting to willingly progress things forward. A lot of the charm was in moving at the...

Yeah, i think the Resume feature being tweaked to Save like in Shenmue 2 will definitely be a perfectly suitable compromise. The story nor mini games--by necessity and realism to Japan rather than Hong Kong--isn't as dense (hence 3 disc; one chapter/one metro area vs. 4 disc; 3 chapters/areas). Skip...

That'd be pretty wild. Perhaps if it were like a Yakuza crossover game...?

Did anyone else ever stand beside Ryo's bed clock watchin til 20:00? Way back in my impatient youth--it was my first couple play-throughs while still addicted to the action and story, rather than appreciating the slower aspects. Once I played it a few times and matured, now the days aren't long eno...

Personally, I'm expecting TGS. Gamescomm would be nice, but TGS seems more realistic. December for PSX is a bit too far off, but even if it doesn't make that show, I'll be pretty bummed, but never turn into one of the vitriol trolls calling it vaporware. The original Dreamcast games were projects fr...
