Re: Sega of Japan Tweets New Shenmue T-shirt

Isn't that single tweet the biggest marketing for the franchise Sega of Japan has done since Shenmue 1? Am I wrong for thinking this is kinda huge?

Re: Angriest you've ever gotten at Shenmue?

My angriest moments have less to do with game moments and more faulty disc moments.

My first copy of Shenmue would randomly freeze on loading screens. I never technically beat Shenmue (it would freeze during the Swallow Flip lesson) until a few years later.

My Shenmue 2 discs are scratched up to hell from when I was younger and didn't take proper care of them. Every time I try to replay disc 2, I get to the point where you chase Ren in Pigeon Park. Then the game freezes precisely when Cool Z starts laughing. This causes Cool Z's laughter to loop infinitely both to mock me and to serve as penance for my sins.

Re: Sega of Japan Tweets New Shenmue T-shirt

I just got this shirt today. I had to order it on Amazon Japan through SMJ because I didn't have the credit card needed for the order directly at their shop.

Anyway I carefully took it out of the packaging to take a closer look at the back side wich is obviously the interesting part about it. It looks just like you'd imagine it by looking at the pictures. The print is very nice and the fabric is rather thick and strong. Good quality I'd say and a worthy Shenmue shirt to have!

Yu Suzuki, part of the New World Order?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=uIH4jUIK5zs#t=6874

I mean, I'm as excited as anyone else here is about Shenmue Three, but if I have to have an RFID chip implanted in order to play it that actually just might be the one thing that prevents me from playing it. I can't believe I'm even suggesting that I wouldn't play the fuck out of some Shenmue III, duck races and transvestites be damned.

Re: Yu Suzuki, part of the New World Order?

:-s

Oh, I see you are confused, I'll explain.

Duck Racing is a special gambling event in Shenmue II which can only be unlocked by following a specific set of side-events. Also, a penguin enters the race on rainy days.

And a transvestite is a person who likes to dress like a person of the opposite sex.

Re: Shenmue Postmortem Discussion

This was announced as a postmortem and that's what it was. If you go to a taco joint and they're out of tacos, you have the right to get mad. But it'd be pretty silly to complain about them not selling oysters, wouldn't it?

Suzuki shared some pretty interesting facts, such as huge portions of Shenmue being procedurally generated or the early prototype he talked about. Personally I'm very satisfied with how it went, from the stream quality to the translation, to the the content which was what it was supposed to be.

Re: Shenmue Postmortem Discussion

The postmortem itself was very enjoyable, I found myself laughing as Yu reminisced about his experience in China and debugging the game, I'd be interested in watching more of this. The Q&A was pretty much what I expected, as a Shenmue fan I'm obviously disappointed he evaded the Shenmue 3 question but it's hardly surprising.

Re: Shenmue Postmortem Discussion

Yu Suzuki's answer to the Shenmue 3 question wasnt just "dot dot dot".. he said basically "He wants to make it, but he doesnt know right now" but under such a mumbled voice the translator obviously knew this question would come up too that she decided to be a b*** about it and not translate it.

As for the presentation.. it was great. We even got a spoiler in there.
Does anyone have that screen grab of all the different plot points on the China map?

As for the rest of the Q&A session.. mother of GOD.. yes these are Game Developers asking the questions but are they that out of the loop as to not ask some more pressing questions? Those are the kind of questions you'd get from non-Shenmue fans. Perhaps people that played the game for 10 minutes 14 years and decided to attend the conference.

Re: Shenmue Postmortem Discussion

Why would anyone ask about space harrier when is about Shenmue. I thought the Japanese girl asked the best question.

Be gentle with the guys who asked about the camera and the bike, those were actually somewhat okay questions.
You can punish the fool who asked about Space Harrier three times as hard to make up for it. He truly deserves it!

Re: Newly found Shenmue art from the Sega Saturn era

Its great seeing new Shenmue material, but also gives me a feeling if sad nostalgia of how great things were years ago when Shenmue 3 was a little bit more possible.

A scene I've never seen before

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0szsnG9Xl4 go to 2:41 Ryo gets his money taken after getting beatdown by some Mad angels thugs. I think this fight happens on the first full day of work, if anyone wants to test it out.

Does this happen in the English dub?

I love how I'm still finding out new things about this game after 15 years.

Re: New GDC Plot image discussion *Spoilers*

Thanks Ziming, its better now,

I think its clear his route:
Japan -> Hong Kong -> Kowloon -> Suzhou -> Guilin -> Xian -> Luoyang -> Cangzhou -> ? -> Beijing -> ?
I guess we now know where should Ryo go after Guilin...
The chapter in kowloon seems a little bit off with the train, maybe he was supossed to cach the train to Suzhou, was it a cut chapter?
I still cant understand where that last location is even with the high resolution but really doesnt seems a famous place, but I have no idea...

Its possbile they changed lots of little things in the story by now even thought most of it seems coerent.
Is also possible they ended with 16 chapters after rethinking the Story from VF to Shenmue.

Re: Suzuki and Cerny @ Gamelab Tokyo!

Maybe... just maybe ... he actually wanted to make these games. As he keeps saying, he doesn't really play video games, so probably doesn't realise it's some surprising, underwhelming letdown for gamers. And even if he did know, then why would he even give a fuck? He obviously has the creative freedom to branch out into areas that he finds interesting, and can even use IPs he helped create to promote said games.

Other than the lack of media coverage he receives for all things not Shenmue, Suzuki has it pretty good.

Ren, killed by Ryo's hands?

http://cdn.escapistmagazine.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/698/698943.jpg

So, how about these concept artworks? I haven't been this interested nor pissed off in a long time. I'm vehemently against spoilers, yet hungry for even a shard of new Shenmue information. It's a shame we have to see such major spoilers before playing the game (IF we ever do see it in action), but it's oh so intriguing. On the bright side however, these concepts may slightly differ from the final version. Even if they don't, they're vague enough that much is still left to be discovered.


On to the topic at hand... I posted about this on the 500K Facebook page as well, but I figured it was time to reappear on the Dojo because this theory is worth spreading. My theory is that a deceased Ren is being carried off by Akira (Ryo) in the 10th concept image. More importantly, Ren has been killed by the hands of his friend, Akira. Firstly, at the top left corner of image 9, that's an alternately dressed Ren. In the background, a horde of people appear to be charging after Akira for an epic battle. Is Ren leading these people into battle, or is he there for Akira? Remember the concept art of Ren on a horse? It's possible that the Chiyoumen could entice Ren with promises of riches if he joins them. I would say he's there to support Akira, but who knows. They succeed in this battle apparently, defeating Lan Di as Yu Suzuki so wonderfully spoiled for us. That's assuming Lan Di didn't already meet his demise long before this scene.

http://cdn.escapistmagazine.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/698/698955.jpg

So what next? As you can see by the map, this epic battle depicted in image 9 occurs somewhere in Western China. In concept image 10, Akira is holding someone's apparent lifeless body. I'm convinced by the clothing that it's Ren as seen in image 9, minus the bandana. If you'll notice, Akira is now ironically wearing a white headband (to honor his former friend?). What happened? If the epic battle is over and Ren didn't perish there, what killed him in the following chapter 10 that appears to take place far away near Beijing (?). I'm thinking after Lan Di's defeat, Ren and Ryo now have access to both mirrors, and Ren's desire to unlock the treasures of the Qing Dynasty overcomes him. According to Master Chen, there will be trouble if those two mirrors come together. Whether that's in the form of a mythical beast resurrecting on Earth, or that's simply a metaphor for something else very grim, I think it's something that needs to be avoided. Akira may have no choice but to stop Ren, which is why he's still honoring his friend with the headband, and the fact that he's clasping his body doesn't signify a hate-filled battle.

If you'll remember, there's a flashback scene in Shenmue I where little Ryo gets into a fight with a friend at school. Iwao tells him, "A friend you can trust is a true friend indeed." I believe this flashback has a lot of significance, since everyone warns Ryo that Ren isn't exactly trustworthy. It shows in his incessant talk of money, and his giddiness towards the Qing Dynasty treasure. It's obvious that Ryo and Ren have grown closer by the end of Shenmue II, but Ren still may not be the most honest and loyal friend in the world. Thoughts?

Re: Ren, killed by Ryo's hands?

well done for matching the statue with the one from akira/pai's stage in virtua fighter 2. does anyone know what it is? seems that it must be quite a significant object to depict it.
Apparently, that's the Iron Lion Statue in Cangzhou.

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/Kiyuu/DSC03915.jpg

I found this image in the website of Tetsuya Hattori, the martial-art actor/advisor of Shenmue.
This picture was taken with his Bajiquan master Wu Lianzhi when he visited Meng Cun.

You can learn more about the statue from the Wiki page here:

Shenmue – discovering the Sega classic 14 year too late

Re: Shenmue – discovering the Sega classic 14 year too late



The visuals, while perhaps not quite cutting edge, were impressive for 1999. Yes, it’s full of graceless facial animations, despite benefitting from some primitive motion-capture work, and the overall aesthetic quality is nowhere close to the standard that the market-exploding PlayStation 2 would begin to introduce, just months after Shenmue’s arrival.

What the fuck ? The PS2's graphics were AWFUL at launch. They didn't have anything that could possibly compare to the likes of Shenmue or Soul Calibur for at least two years in. Their launch titles looked far worse than Dreamcasts launch titles had that were a full year older. Some people just got drunk on the Sony koolaid those days.

Re: NeoGAF: New Japanese trademark from Sega (Shenmue)


How can you tell?

Discussion from various users at the Shenmue 500k group. They compared it to older existing trademarks and they do not match up.
Objection! That's not a decisive evidence. A mere discussion with some members of the Shenmue 500k group, with questionable skills of analysis and/or experience on the subject, can not be accepted as a conclusive proof by this court. Your Honor, I suggest that we must penalize prosecutor Ziming.

I'll inform Tentei, dont worry.
