«Admitting that Sega has not done a “great job over the last four years” in communicating its brand values» Only? Especially after SEGA was taken over by SAMMY, showing the exit door to their legendary creators and ignoring old consumers. «I think the buzz around Shenmue 3 shows that people love ou...

i didn't know that. but you're probably right!

I am shocked at how good that looks. For the budget they raised I expected that there have to be some compromises but the look of that game far exceeds my expectations. To me, graphics of that quality are going to make the world more immersive and atmospheric. yeah, as soon as i saw those shots i k...

site was originally started by Andy Bandos, known as Andy on the forums back then. Iwaohazuki was a forum admin, and he might have helped run the site too, but i remember him being more active on the forum than the site. the site was then given to a forum member known as HellRaiser. LanDC and Ziming...

welp, i clicked the spoiler... Considering that suzuki is still not planning to end the story with 3, im shocked that we will fight Lan Di in this one, it kinda shows that the story evolves more than just a vs revenge story, oh giddy imma excite!! i highly doubt the revenge arc ends in shenmue 3. t...

i would predict interactivity would be like Shenmue II, with some areas being fully interactive, but mostly not.

the "debate" exists only in your head, nobody said that Yu Suzuki wouldn't have been a fan of Nocon or wouldn't have sought him out anyway.

i don't care, i only want to play it in Japanese.

yep, also these people that think a non commercial fan project can be easily crushed have no idea what they're talking about and obviously haven't heard of the Streisand effect either. maybe people with poor reading comprehension skills can't get past their assumption that we're saying it's more to ...

the founder was a guy called Andy Bandos. ownership of the site was later handed over to a forum member.

the site has actually had a somewhat interesting history, it was linked with Gamespy for a while, now gamespy is gone but the dojo is still running.

Noconkid releasing anything at all, even an incomplete version, would be seen as potentially interfering with the impact and sales of a re released original. those maps are small, so even maps without interactivity would be enough to worry Sega, who already aren't enthusiastic about re-releasing She...

this thread is hilarious. it's like a bunch of Chinese people speculating on whether a Portugese person could work with an Italian. it'll be easier for Yu and NoCon to communicate with each other than it would be for them to to communicate with, say, 99% of the posters in this thread, who most likel...

so i really wonder if Nocon being hired to work on Shenmue III was partly to cancel his fan made HD remake, so they wouldn't have to compete with it if they re released.

no because there'd be a 99.9% chance that he'd sell it to Pewdiepie for a million dollars, then I could just watch the playthrough on youtube. or he could even make that much or more himself by doing his own live stream. i'd rather do that than something dishonorable. if he wasn't gonna livestream i...

i remember Yu said the story was revised before work started on development by a lot of people including novelists and screenwriters suggesting and debating ideas.
