Re: How long do you think Shenmue III will be ??

Re: Kickstarter Monthly update

February seems just around the corner, considering we have almost exactly 2 years to go until release. The Ryo model in the recent update (glossy jacket one), already looked different to the E3 model, so I imagine it's probably been updated somewhat since then. Wonder if it's now unrealistic to expect anything new from PS experience, after we got the monthly update yesterday.


It's crazy how fast time is going by though. It was a 2.5 year development period and now we're down to 2 years even.

We're already 20% of the way there...

2 years is also only 63 million seconds away.. should we start a countdown??

All we have to do is count to 1000 one thousand times and do that 63 times and then we will have Shenmue 3.

Re: Lan Di? Just a man.

But he's Lan Di.. basically a god among men. I don't think balancing on a ladder with no hands is too much to ask a man with his super human capabilities.

What super human capabilities? The ability to beat the shit out of a 50 year old man? I must be a god.


First of all Iwao was a 46 and in get shape.. he had a great diet of carrots. He also had the best Dojo in all of Yamanose. Plus he trained with Lan Di's father.. who coulda been quite the martial artist if he hadn't been killed.

Look Iwao fought Lan Di hard and gave him all his best shots.... and the man kept coming. He was like a super human god who couldn't be touched.

Re: Is Shenmue IV a possible reality at this point?

Cederic said his goal for Shenmue 3 was to sell 1 million copies. I assume that's the kind of number it needs to achieve to get a Shenmue 4.


If all 70,000 backers commit to buying 15 copies of Shenmue 3 each (to give to friends and family) then we will hit the 1M sales figure and ensure Shenmue 4!

I think I figured out the ending to Shenmue 2..

I finally understand what the "proof" is that Shenhua's father was talking about. Ryo had to prove that he was "the one" who held the pheonix and that his mirror was legit.

See....only the REAL Pheonix mirror could activate elaborate mechanism revealing the giant mirrors. And since the design on the giant mirrors look EXACTLY like the small real ones.. Shenhua can cross check them against Ryo's mirror to prove it's indeed one of the original mirrors.

Shenhua's father basically set up a device which would prove that Ryo was the "one" referred to in the poem of Bailu Village! He had to set up the contraption so his daughter could follow Ryo with his permission and full confidence.

He also knew that the sword was the "key" needed to unlock the mirror pedestal.. he knew that the spirit of Shenhua's ancestors was contained in the sword (since it's the sword of 7 stars and Shenhua prays to her ancestors by looking up to the big dipper)) and that Shenhua had the power to insert it since she has the power of her ancestors.

Shenhua's father basically created a two part puzzle.... one only Shenhua could activate with her powers and the other only Ryo could activate with his mirror.

Here's the "bad ending" of Shenmue 3 right before the final fight between Ryo and Lan Di.


Lan Di: Come on, get up! Get on that line! Get on that line, Hazuki! You're worthless! Your father's nothing! Get up, man! You're no fighter! Get up! You suck, Hazuki! You suck, man! And your father's karate shit! You hear me! It's shit!

[Ryo looks over to Shenhua]

Lan Di: You're a joke, Hazuki! Your karate's a joke and your father wasn't worth shit! He's nothing! He's nothing! And you're nothing! I own you! I own you, Hazuki! Where's your little Jap teacher now, huh! He was a phony, man! He was a fake and he didn't teach you nothing! Your karate's shit! You hear me! Get up!

Yeah we're stretching here.

It basically illustrates how Shenhua is comfortable and confident around nature while Ryo (one-a dem superior-summabitch city boys) has a harder time navigating the terrain.

We see this in Shenmue 2 when Shenhua easy runs through the forrest while Ryo just barely makes it though unscathed IF the player performs all the QTEs correctly.

Most shocking Shenmue 2 ending you can think of.

It's safe to say that even after 14 years we're all just now starting to pick our collective jaws off the floor after witnessing the most esoteric event in the history of vidogames close out Shenmue 2.

What pray tell would or could have made this ending even more bizarre?

I always thought Ryo and Shenhua could have turned around in that cave and saw Iwao Hazuki standing there. THAT would have made the ending truly mind-blowing.

Re: Most shocking Shenmue 2 ending you can think of.

Lan Di: Help me!! On my way here I got caught in the rain and had to burn my clothes in the cave to stay warm!!!

Ryo: You walked naked all the way here?

Lan Di: Don't have to rub it in but yes! I mean I was surrounded by nature.. walking the trail.. listening to the music.. it was kinda liberating.

Shenhua: You DO realize there was wood in that cave you could have burned instead of your clothes.

Lan Di: Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shenhua: You just wanted an excuse to walk through nature naked didn't you?

Lan Di: Well...... hey Ryo can I at least borrow your pants until we get to Bailu Village.. then I promise we can have some epic fight or whatever.

Ryo: I just bought these!

Shenhua: Just give him the pants I don't want to drag him into Bailu Village bare ass naked!

Ryo: Ahh.. at least wash them when you're done.

Re: Shenmue confessions

I never trained my moves for more than 30 seconds.

I always thought the move training and leveling up system was confusing and obtuse.

I never actually used any of the moves I learned in free battles.. I just KKK PP KKK PP.....

I thought it sucked that the second half of Shenmue was just trying to get a dang boat ticket.

I thought Ryo saying "perhaps they're out?" after witnessing someone enter their home was THE most immersion breaking experience.

I thought Xiuying had to be in Shenmue 1 and I just missed her. I thought Xiuying was the "Madam Butterfly" that Oishi San referred to.

I was upset about Shenmue 2 being cancelled on DC but wasn't TOO upset. I was more excited about getting a PS2 and playing FFX and MGS2.. I chose against getting an Xbox even though (in my mind) it was a choice against ever playing Shenmue 2. (I didn't think I could realistically import the DC version)

I thought it was weird that the look controls weren't inverted (I was used to N64 camera controls).

That's means we're going to get tons of great new music tracks in Shenmue 3 and possibly beyond!

I was afraid we'd get crap new tracks (due to budget) and the only good stuff would be recycled from the previous two games.

Re: Project Update #55: April Report

Seriously? Were people confused that because of this one update, we now had to choose between Japanese and English dub?? Really? Masaya Matsukaze was the first VO announced, followed by Corey Marshall. THEN, an extra KS reward added was a personalised VO message from Corey to each and every fan who pledged that amount. I mean... what do you think was gonna happen? Have Corey come in, record 4000+ voice samples or whatever the fuck it was and tell him to piss off? Come on chaps, use your common sense?

Not only that, but we are still 10 months into a development cycle of a brand new game, and we have had numerous suggestions taken on board! Most of them have been taken on board, some haven't. Get over it. We are fans before pledges. Remember that. Anyone who argues that is kidding themselves otherwise we wouldn't be posting here! We are such a long way off from this game being released. I mean it with all the sincerity I can muster, but some people need to lay off the Internet. That's that I have done, because I am such a fan of this game as all you are, and if I stay logged in and tear every single piece of news and update apart, then this game will be nothing to me when it's released. My release came almost 1 year ago, not at the end of every month. And my ultimate orgasm will come when this game is running on my console in 18 months time. Seriously go grab a cup of tea, or take up trainspotting. It will help in the long run!!

Enjoy the speculating guys. But for the long term advantage, I'm our :nice!:



I concur. I think we ought to all forget about Shenmue 3 for a while or we'll all be driven insane by every monthly "update".

We're in for a long dry spell anyway where there won't be anything to show or talk about.

It won't be until E3 2017 before there is a concrete trailer and we'll be able to get excited again.

Re: Random Shenmue III Thoughts

In your opinion, did Cédric Biscay say too much this time?

http://i.imgur.com/P1w7bJX.jpg

Q: Why not launch a crowdfunding for the Xbox One version? It's a shame to do without 20 million of players.

A: The PS4 has console exclusivity.

Q: Did Sony buy the exclusivity? The Kickstarter FAQ's says Xbox One version is not impossible.

If true/confirmed, what could a strong Sony PS4 exclusivity mean for the future (and the past) of the Shenmue franchise?
Honestly... to hell with microsoft! They had their chanses! Like over a decade. Also Yu Suzuki contacted them. Where were they? Busy making halo 26?

Personally there's not a single title on xbox that I'm interested in. And after Shenmue 3 Kickstarter I don't care about it at all.


Microsoft was smart to pass on he title... Shenmue has proven to bomb on Xbox.

Xbox gamers by and large aren't the sort that can appreciate experimental games like Shenmue.

Show an Xbox gamer a game where your character doesn't have a gun and the object isn't to kill everyone and he will not know what to do.

Xbox gamers like xtreme continuous action type games.. not Shenmue.

Not sure if i completely agree with this statement. Sure Shenmue 2x commercially bombed, but the original xbox hardly had much traction in terms of install-base at the time. Factor in that basically no game for xbox OG sold well outside of halo. I actually chose an xbox OG over ps2 for shenmue 2, no other reason, and i was like 15.

As for console demographic, I'd have to disagree further. Sure, there was a difference in gamers tastes and needs back in the 6th gen era, but there's hardly a difference between xbox one and ps4 gamers now, especially since console parity is closer than ever and the mass market/audiences have grown. You could make a case for Japanese gamer enthusiasts leaning towards PS4 but this 'dude-bro' image that you have for xbox gamers definitely isn't the case and I'm sure there's just as many of them for ps4. Don't forget that the likes of xbla was what curated storefront for independent and unique titles.

Anyway tl;dr Shenmue 3 deserved a second consideration for MS, and by the looks of things Phil Spencer said he wanted to focus on first parties which is okay (even if really Cedric told us that they presented a low offer and unenthusiastically. I'm glad YS.NET took whatever decision lead to actually getting the game in a steady traction)


I've just encountered too many Xbox owners who are obsessed with snowboarding, weed, and mountain dew. I try to show them Shenmue 3 and they don't like it :sad:
