Looks great! Love the pose and the lighting.

@Rakim: Don't forgett that they even had motion capturing for the hands. In 1999!

I like the in-game Ryo the most. I have the same impressions as the others here regarding the passport model. That Ryo just looks way different for reasons I never understood. The other characters look just like their in game models with higher quality but Ryo has so many features different. The lip...

Yahoo Auctions Japan. It's much bigger then eBay there.
I've seen the cups, incredible how high the price went.

Yeah I know that auction. Been watching it for a couple of weeks now. But I've always bought other stuff first...
The two soundtracks can also be found on ebay and actually from my country but they are bootlegs unfortunately.
Bought the Yokosuka OST and shipped it back immediately. What a waste.

I want to post a picture of my Shenmue collection here now aswell. Just picked up some stuff from the customs today that made it more complete. http://s7.directupload.net/images/130729/7alxivtk.jpg The game cases on the far ends hold the white label versions of the games. Behind the games are variou...

It's as funny as it is sad that we can't only count the years that we're waiting for Shenmue III but also generations . I remember when everyone here was waiting for Shenmue III on Xbox. Then came the rumours of the Nextbox/Xbox 2 and everybody said "Shenmue III - next generation" All the ...

Really nice interview with some interesting answers. That thing about Zhu not telling the full truth about things for protective reasons is really strange and gives even more room for speculations about future events in the story... It was however really cool that the man himself actually talked abo...

You can add Diving Swallow Style to it aswell. Master Chen told us that this style is also from the Hebei province.
Seems like a lot of stuff in the saga seem to have it's origins there or Yu Suzuki really did like that place a lot.

Sonic toy capsules !!! :rotflmao: How I wish those were real ! Well there are a couple of Sonic toy machines, even here in Europe. Even near my place I've found one of these machines. It reminded me of Shenmue soooo much. :D http://www.sonicstadium.org/2012/03/new-sonic-merchandise-head-danglers/ I...

It's really amazing what ridiculously small detaills have been uncovered in the Shenmue games. Now if someone could ask one of the developers who the guy in the image is, why he's holding a Donald Duck and what they were thinking, when the chose this weird image as the reflection. Oh and the Xiuying...

I saw this on Shenmue.de and it hasn't been mentioned here on the Dojo yet. http://youtu.be/qXMKQCz5Uk0 The German Indie-Band Schrottgrenze has released an album called "Das Ende unserer Zeit" in 2004 and one song on it is perticularly interesting for us. It's called "Nozomi's Lieder&...

Shenmue is timeless, it just doesn't age as other games do. Of course it doesn't push as much polygons and textures around as games now but the attention to detail and the sheer amount of it is still up to date and many games still don't reach it. Shenmue sure was way ahead of it's time!

The song doesn't really have a name as it isn't featured on the OST wich is an absolute shame. I still don't get why they didn't put this briliant song on a CD. Well, they also got away with the biggest crime in video game histroy: Not releasing any Shenmue II OST whatsoever. If you want to listen t...

Man Mo Temple's front gate closes at 7 pm and I don't think there's any way to glitch through it.
I believe the game is just ment to play out the wude learning so you can't make it to the temple early enough.

Well I'd like to see Ryo in DOA5 Ultimate. I'd take anything where Ryo is actually playable. I had some hope when I read that they might want to put him in the regular DOA5 months ago. Ryo would've convinced me in buying DOA5 after I pretty much lost all interest in Team Ninja after Itagaki left. Ma...
