This.

Here is one that I missed due to the size. It's the largest at 174mb, with a resolution of 4455 x 6299.
Shenmue II Poster- http://www.mediafire.com/?cdv4fci3vqkageb

I have a friend who works at Sega and in no uncertain terms he told me that he has played Shenmue HD during lunch breaks.

Why sega are waiting i have no idea. Maybe they are waiting til the end of the financial year and shenmue HD is a small part of their next year plans. Either that or it's Sega just being Sega. i.e. mostly woeful

Your aware that this forum has a history of such claims? I've seen countless topics and posts with members here saying they have family/friends that have inside info. For example: "My dad's friend has a brother that's saying Shenmue 3 is coming out. His Mom overheard a conversion. Believe it!"

I've been told if this Ryo Hazuki statue sells well, then there is a good chance First4Figures will make Lan Di their next statue.

Shendream/David from Shenmue Master has plans to go. He's currently awaiting a response from the organizers of the show if they can spot him in for a interview. It was through David that Kenji was able to interview Yu Suzuki at the Toulouse Show.

Yu definitely does.

Here is a image of Yu Suzuki looking tough. At first glance it looks like a cosplay for Gouki/Akuma.

Here is another rip of Shenmue II for download. It's Japanese with English subtitles.

This was art we planned to be used for our Shenmue 2 music compilation videos. Instead we decided to go with a image with her red bike in the background.

Here is a interview with Kavinsky, he's a popular French electro house artist. If anyone has seen the movie "Drive", then you've already heard his work. In this interview he's asked if his upcoming album "Outrun" is related to a racing game.

http://www.spin.com/articles/kavinsky-outrun-drive-skrillex-tattoo-interview


Is the title for Outrun a reference to the racecar video game?

Yes! It's a game I used to play a lot. It's from a very talented game creator, Yu Suzuki, who is the guy who also did Hang-On, Shenmue , so many. Each time he had a new concept or a new way to play — it was always a revolution for each game he did.

"ProtoVision" is the new single taken from Kavinsky's album "OutRun"

Mistakes come with consequences here at the dojo. Your punishment is to translate the following videos for Shenmue fans worldwide.

I emailed F4F to ask if they plan to take pre-orders anytime soon. Here is the response I got today.

"Getting there - I'd say in about a month at the latest. I'm going to start working on the videos for the product launch this weekend."

Looks like pre-orders will start sometime in March.

The new Jo Jo anime has a very cool opening. Visually it's impressive.

^ I hope your joking about inter gender matches. A real mma fight between a man and woman who both diligently train in the sport? You should know the answer to that without giving it a second thought. Dana made a similar comment during one of his media press interviews. I can understand it coming from him since he's a promoter. I agree Ronda can armbar most men and women in grappling. Unless your name is Mousasi. :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9xjs2fWJEs

The way I see Ronda now in her division is similar to Royce Gracie early on in his career in the UFC. None of the current lot of female fighters can handle what Rousey brings to the table each fight. It will take time to figure her out just like with Royce, the end result could very well help change how females fight in mma.

A translation-nazi at NeoGAF provided a more accurate translation.

Those translations are absolute junk, why the fuck is the OP polluted by them? Embarassing by GAf standards..

The first line says: "Yu Suzuki declares to be thinking about a kickstarter-LIKE model to fund Shenmue 3" .. he's not saying he WILL use Kickstarter.

Second line is: "Yu Suzuki would like to CONTINUE the shenmue adventure in anime or manga form", as in making anime/manga versions of future chapters.

We've been hearing his cryptic and short answers about Shenmue 3 for years now. Which fans have been trying to decipher with no avail to give them a glimpse of hope. Based on that can we confidently assume Yu Suzuki will give us a straight answer on Shenmue HD? He's not with Sega anymore, so he can't provide anything reassuring.

I'm kinda biased about this whole HD port because I was privy to some information about it last year. It's frustrating to hear Yu Suzuki say there is nothing happening.

Sega needs to get off their ass and release a HD port of Shenmue 1+2. As fans all we can do is participate in monthly campaigns like the tweethathon. Or you can try your luck with http://www.wish.org/

Very few anime appeal to me nowadays, but this one is an exception. If your looking for a serious anime with a similar plot this aint it.

It's not happening. There is no Shenmue HD at all

Did you really expect Yu Suzuki give us a clear and concise answer in some stage interview? His answers often consist of short responses such as.. perhaps, maybe, probably, etc. At the end of the day it is entirely up to Sega to come out and announce it.

I can't stand anime-like music videos these days, but this one is that rare exception. It had to take quite a bit of time to edit and put together. Check it out.

Here is a update on the interview with Shenmue Master. Yu Suzuki was more easy going and responsive in this interview with Kenji. Most of the questions asked were story-related, he was only able to answer a 50% of what was asked of him. This was due to Yu Suzuki unable to remember specific story related questions from memory.

Here a video of the complete conference of the Sunday March 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il8bSiWu_CA

Thank you for the video. Now that I can hear the Q&A part clearly, I've fixed the inaudible part in my translation.

Can you please add time stamps to the duration of each Shenmue question.

Time stamp example: Shenmue question 1 (8:40-9:00)
Japanese Translator: blablablabla (translation)
Yu Suzuki: blablablabla (translation)

Time stamp example: Shenmue question 2 (18:22-19:55)
Japanese Translator: blablablabla (translation)
Yu Suzuki: blablablabla (translation)

I can edit those parts together into a single video. Once together I can add English subtitles to each question, from original interviewer to the translator, and lastly Yu Suzuki.

Thank you Kiyuu! I'm now going to put a video together with English subtitles. This will tide us over until Kenji's YS interview is up.

It's been 2 years since the Fukushima disaster. Here is a video from Vice.com in the town of Tomioka. Click "CC' for English subtitles.

Here's the translation of the Shenmue related Q&A:

21:24-TR: What is the most memorable game to you?
21:29-YS: Every game is memorable to me. But, Virtua Fighter is the most memorable as it was
the hardest game to make, having had to go through various hardships. Shenmue as well.

24:01-TR: Is there any regrets?
24:04-YS: Ah... I hate this (kind of question.) Not having been able to make Shenmue III yet, of course.

24:43-TR: Do you have any plan or project for the next-generation consoles?
24:52-YS: I don't have any concrete plans, but I'd like to do something for them.

25:23-TR: What do you think about using the service like crowd-funding, such as Kickstarter?
25:33-YS: There's such possibility, I think.
(Here, the translator took the liberty of connecting the answer of YS with Shenmue III, and the MC got excited.)
15:47-YS: That was a leading question, wasn't it?

26:06-TR: Perhaps you've already been asked this a lot, but everybody wants to know it. How is Shenmue III
going at the moment?
26:17-YS: I want to make it for sure, if a good partner is found.
26:30-YS: If the circumstances allow, I want to make it.
26:41-TR: Everybody wants to help you in anyway.
26:45-YS: Thank you. Merci beaucoup.

26:51-YS: May I speak a little here? French fans, especially, have been caring about Shenmue a lot and
always ask me about Shenmue III. I'm very glad about it. I really want to make it, if circumstances allow.

36:50-TR: Now, there's a rumor that Shenmue I or II will be playable soon by downloading with PSN or Xbox...
37:06-YS: Where is it from?
37:10-TR: Huh? He (the questioner) says so.
37:15-YS: Well, I don't get it. Every year a rumor says Shenmue III is coming. I wonder who is making it.

42:24-TR: Do you have a plan to make Shenmue HD?
42:50-YS: The license of Shenmue I and II belongs to SEGA. Now that I've left SEGA, it's not my decision,
but SEGA's, to remake and sell them like that. It'd be possible for SEGA, I guess.
43:27-YS: I could make anything related to Shenmue series, though, by getting the license from SEGA,
if they say OK.

45:10-TR: Instead of a video game, will there be any chance that you depict the story of Shenmue 3
in other forms, like movie or novel?
45:24-YS: There will be such possibilities, I think. Even in such forms I want to do something related to Shenmue.

I'm selling the original Polygram version of the Shenmue Orchestra soundtrack. Any collectors here looking? If you are then send me a message with an offer.

You can watch the Shenmue movie below in Japanese with English subtitles.

How about we update our current video bbcode? There is a newer version of bbcode which would allow us to view videos from other popular video sites. I would personally like the option to view YouTube playlists here, because all our Shenmue music and videos are organized using playlists from our YT channel.

Someone point me to a place where I can purchase 99min CD-R's?

Here are high resolution PSD files for Lan Di and Ren which I forgot to include. They are large files I had to set aside do to their size.

These are great! Any chance of getting the other areas like Kowloon, Guilin, etc?

Yeah I plan on it. Right now the project is being delayed cause of the digital artist I'm working with, he's often busy with other projects, to a point where he doesn't respond. If this continues I'll need to get help from Yukupo, who is also experienced in this field of work. Wan Chai In-game music is coming up next. Hopefully in April.
