Re: Need some netbook help

I am not an expert, but I think it has something to do with the processor clock...

I am on Windows XP, so I do not know if the following is applicable to 7, too:
"Window's Start Button"(=the one on the keyboard) + "Pause/Break" button => (it opens the System Properties window) => go to the Advanced tab => Startup and Recovery => click Settings => (it opens the Startup and Recovery window) => at System Startup, click Edit => it will show something like this:

[Boot Loader]
timeout=1
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noexecute=optin /usepmtimer


Try to change the "timeout=" to something like 30.

I do not know if it will help, but it is a try...

Re: Is it just too late for Shenmue III?

When I read arguments like that Shenmue III will have to meet modern gaming desires to be successful, automatically the following question comes to my mind: "Why? Did Shenmue I & II try to meet the mainstream gaming desires of its age (somewhere between the 90's and the new millennium)?"

In my personal view, mainstream gamers have not change a lot from that day. What they desire today, the same things they were desiring in the days when Shenmue first appeared. And I can suspect what these desires are (brutal desires, of course):
guns, gore, killing people for fun, slaughtering people in the streets, cutting heads, blood, lasers, ultra violence, zombies and all these related daemonical desires.

Do you think Yu Suzuki would think to put in a Shenmue III these elements for the shake of the brutal instincts of many (relative with these instincts) mainstream gamers?

Sega has shown some some signs where would easily do this, like e.g. with Shadow the Hedgehog holding a gun... and what else. But, I can not dare to think Yu Suzuki would ever do this. That would be disrespectful towards himself.

Yes, we have all see that a Shenmue III would have magic elements et cetera, but I would never believe that Yu, while creating Shenmue III, would stray from the spirit of the following principle: "Martial arts are used to protect people's lives".

Re: Sega Nerds will interview Ryo voice actor Corey Marshall

SEGA Nerdcast: Episode 7

We’re back again with the much-anticipated interview with Shenmue’s Ryo Hazuki voice actor Corey Marshall! We talk to Corey about how he originally got the job as Ryo, the infamous “Sailors” quote, if he’s been working on Shenmue 3 and much more!

If you’d like to skip right to the interview, go to the 46 minute and 45 second mark of the show.

http://www.seganerds.com/2013/06/03/ryo-hazuki-voice-actor-confirms-he-hasnt-worked-on-shenmue-3/
« Marshall did say, though, that he’d like to see the series continued, and if SEGA has no intention to do so that they allow Suzuki to have the license .

“ I would like to see it released, and I think a lot of fans would like to see it released. If (SEGA) wanted to release the rights to it, I think giving it to Suzuki is the right move , and I don’t think there would be any sort of animosity or bad blood,” he said. “ As a fan, I would love to see the franchise continued . ” »

Miyamoto Says Nintendo’s Game Ownership Policy Should Operate “Like A Toy Company”
mynintendonews.com/2013/06/13/miyamoto-says-nintendos-game-ownership-policy-should-operate-like-a-toy-company

“What’s really important is viewing Nintendo almost like a toy company where we’re making these things for people to play with,” he said. “As a consumer you want to be able to keep those things for a long time and have those things from your youth that you can go back to and experience again.”

“I really want to retain that product nature of the games that we create so that people can do that and have that experience. To me that’s something that’s very important about entertainment itself. So from the approach of continuing to create things that are entertaining for people, that’s an important direction for me that I want to maintain.”

GameStop says Xbox One DRM decision is 'great news'

http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/19/4446518/gamestop-says-xbox-one-drm-decision-is-great-news

Leading retailer GameStop says Microsoft's decision to reverse its DRM policies is " great news ".

A spokesperson for the retailer told Polygon, "GameStop welcomes today's announcement from Microsoft about changes in functionality for its next-generation console, the Xbox One. This is great news for gamers and we applaud Microsoft for understanding consumers and the importance of the pre-owned market."

Earlier today, Microsoft announced that, following widespread criticism of its DRM features for Xbox One, it would be reversing a decision to implement online check-in policies, which would have restricted the sale of used games. Much of GameStop's profits come from the sale of used games. GameStop's stock price surged six percent in after-hours trading today, following Microsoft's announcement.

Re: Yu Suzuki At Monaco Anime Game Show

I can only guess from the preview frame that one of Yu's jokes during the presentation was to take credit for breaking up the Soviet Union. Well, I say "jokes," but I'd be willing to believe it's true.

A part of the slide (of which we care) is:

1991 The Soviet Union dissolved
1992 Virtua Racing ______ Model1
1993 Virtua Fighter
_________________ Model2(TexMap)
1994 Virtua Fighter 2


I think the following is why Yu Suzuki is mentioning so boldly the dissolve of the Soviet Union!


JM: Which was your favorite technology to work on of all the hardware at Sega?

YS: There isn't really a favorite but the hardware we used for Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter 2 are the most memorable to me -- the Model 1 and Model 2 boards. It was the first hardware capable of 3D graphics, and I was involved in its development from the drawing board. The chip used in the Model 2 came from military equipment from Lockheed Martin, which was formerly General Electric Aerial & Space's textural mapping technology. It cost $2 million dollars to use the chip. It was part of flight-simulation equipment that cost $32 million. I asked how much it would cost to buy just the chip and they came back with $2 million. And I had to take that chip and convert it for video game use, and make the technology available for the consumer at 5,000 yen ($50) per console or else nobody would buy the hardware. But I did it. And because I was able to do that we were able to put textures on the Virtua Fighter 2 characters.

JM: Was it difficult to have these discussions with Lockheed Martin at the time? They were used to working on military contracts, and not with video game developers.

YS: It was very difficult. They told me they'd make it cheap, but their concept of making it cheap is selling it for a tenth of the price, which is still $200,000. Of course, Sega's president wanted it for $50. If you spend $2 million in development to make one chip, the cost is $2 million per chip. But, if you sell 2 million consoles, that's $1.00 per chip.

So it was tough but we were able to make it for 5,000 yen. Nobody at Sega believed me when I said I wanted to purchase this technology for our games. At the time GE Aerial & Space, CRC, and Evans and Sutherland were the three major companies with virtual simulator technology. And the USSR had collapsed and the government wasn't spending money like they used to on military equipment, and so these companies had to find other avenues of revenue.

Re: Shenmue mentioned in Sony's giant list of video games

This is the story of my reaction when I accidentally read about it:
WWWWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I'll tell you the whole story... detailed!
- Just woke up this morning and I was looking for a safe search engine to install on my browser. I came through DuckDuckGo (HTTPS/SSL, an excellent one) and then I stumbled across one I haven't seen before, that is Privatelee. I visited its website and, as always, the first search query I put to test a search engine, was ...what else, Shenmue!

I scrolled down the results, where the first were the common ones, and then, I stumbled across the 6th result, which its title was "Sony Wants To Bring Shenmue To PlayStation - NowGamer" ( http://www.nowgamer.com/news/2157082/sony_wants_to_bring_shenmue_to_playstation.html ). I visited it for once, and now that is the interesting part...

While skimming the article, I was like "Hah, I wish that was true..." and then "It's gotta be an old article concerning a rumor." But, then, I saw a very familiar name: "Boyes"! My heart started to pump fast! Furiously, I was looking to find the date of that article! And it was... "Published on Nov 13, 2013". WWWOOOSSSHHH!!!

I rushed and with hands shaking I typed on the address bar "facebook dot com", adding credentials and with a big urge, full of enthusiasm and frightened, I started to write these lines, as a witnessing of a Shenmue fan's reaction caught on ...a post!

P.S.: If that is a small sample of a Shenmue fan's reaction, imagine what would happen when Shenmue I-II HD and/or Shenmue III will officialy be announced and, especially, when you'll get the chance to play it for real... Heart Attack!

Re: New Yu Suzuki's project

I would say while it is not confirmed I want to provide a theory (following my previous post ) just for the thinking procedure that is being caused by it, but it is confirmed, therefore let us sum up what we already know, so as we will end up with a somehow close answer about what is that game Yu Suzuki is working on right now.

A while back, when Yu Suzuki was in Monaco, «Yu-san took a tour of Côte d'Azur on March 1st».

There, he met with «Go Nagai, a famous animator, and the tour guide».

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/Kiyuu/Monaco2013_2.jpg

And what he wanted to do there...

As he wanted to stroll some old village with an ambience that would be suitable for a game , the guide took him to Dolceacqua . He liked the village very much and took a lot of pictures.

Some day , we might stroll an old village like this in some video game . ;-)

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/Kiyuu/Dolceacqua38_-_Panorama_del_paese_vecchio.jpg (Text highlighting is mine)

This is all «according to the following facebook page in Japanese». I have put a comment there, where I ask if «this is the place were Yu Suzuki's next game is going to be?»

[ Source, by Kiyuu: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=45589&start=225#p1036674 ]

I'll restate my reaction:
Personally, these are the most inspirational news I have read lately. I automatically-associated them with the fact that Yu Suzuki did research back then for Shenmue and visit places regarding the game , like he (somehow) did now. It may be for something different to Shenmue , but it is good to know that Yu still has the spirit in him.
Source: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=45589&start=255#p1036847

Ergo! For one, we somehow know where the setting of this game is going to be and somehow what the style of this game is.

— And what you will do with the Shenmue-series now, if you had freedom to do whatever you want?

— Actually, I'm doing it. I took the best that was in Shenmue , all the « know-how » of the game, gave up all that I did not like and make a new project. Only this will be a fantasy setting . That is not China or Japan, but the new fantasy world . * shows the concept art *

http://translate.google.ru/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdarkwren.livejournal.com%2F1506288.html&act=url

Let's see what this says:

- I have heard it before, but I believe this is *not* a spiritual successor to Shenmue. What I mean is, this is not like Mighty No. 9 of Keiji Inafune; that means, you will not see the protagonist of that new game as a similar figure of Ryo Hazuki, with the same attributes et cetera, nor his name will be exempli gratia Ai C No. 3. As Yu Suzuki says, that new game inherits only the «know-how», the formula, while keeping what is best and disregarding what he didn't like. In a few words, the open-world formula (and some other things of Shenmue's gameplay and systems) will be the same, but nor the story nor the characters nor the world, of Shenmue.

- Yu-san says «a fantasy setting ... new fantasy world». The word fantasy prevails. We have already conclude where Yu took inspiration about what this new fantasy world would look like, and this will be like "Dolceacqua". But, by fantasy, you could expect also something futuristic. Or, better, you could expect a world with a setting like e.g. the one that is being used in Pokemon X/Y; that is the world is called Kalos , but Kalos is inspired by / based on Paris, France.

UPDATE: http://youtu.be/9kKVMcRxpqo?t=5m33s
As we can see in this video, we have more serious reasons to consider that this new game project by Yu, would be an RPG . Shenmue wasn't exactly an RPG (as you remember its motto "RPG has changed"), but rather exactly a Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment game; we can even say that new project could be a mix between RPG and FREE.

A few questions to consider:
- What things do you think Yu Suzuki didn't like in Shenmue?
I have a hunch that Quick Timer Events is one thing...
- What do you think about Go Nagai?
I would speculate he will be the one responsible for the concept art of that new game and also providing his expertise on animations. Go Nagai Industries...
- Would Yu consider Kickstarter to fund that new game, like Inafune did, so as it would have the potential to come out on all major consoles?

Furthermore, new things could come out of this new interview of Yu Suzuki, by «russian magazine a "strana igr" and russian version of ign» (source: post )...
The following was taken from a user post at Shenmue500k.


https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1425791_615667625159302_1479971978_n.jpg

There is some stuff about some new fantasy rpg fom Yu, he only told that events wont happen in China or Japan, and he`s inspired art stile (desing) from artist Alphonse Mucha, and its far from announcement, and only scenery and music are made yet..



Yeah,its the exclusive interview for russian jornalists for that magazine.

There also was question about Shenmue 3, Yu said nothing new, but but journalists saw a folder named Shemue 3 on his laptops desktop. ...but we would need somehow to translate the interview of that magazine. Someone who can read Russian and willing to do it...

Also, I wonder if this , the «Relation» bit, has anything to do with that new project of his. It is clear that this slide refers to Yu's innovations and things that he have implemented in his games (like e.g. Network with Shenmue Gai, Virtua Fighter Cool Champ), but the Relation is set to 2015, therefore we may see a new innovative system of Yu on that new project and in 2015...

Here's another opportunity to amplify the statement we've already made to Sony.

"Best" answers will appear in issue 92 of the magazine, on sale December 20th. Let's see if we can get Shenmue featured in Sony's own publication and maybe stoke some fires...

http://facebook.com/OfficialPlayStationMagazine/posts/601862933184677
can we please get this as a first page announcement?

Yeah, man! Shenmue Dojo mustn't sleep! Now it's the time to wake up! Now it's the time for Shenmue! Keep the buzz going! :D Vote for Shenmue! Put it in the front page of Shenmue Dojo! Wake up! Do something!


I wish Shenmue Dojo was more active, at least lately with all the Sony <3 Shenmue buzz going on! I would like SD to look like as this page: http://yakuzafan.com/ (or any better similar site). Be active! Keep the ball rolling!

A chat SEGA Nerds held with Imran Yusuf a Stand-Up Comedian and a massive Shenmue fan.

From their Twitter account:
"The hilarious @imranyusuf will be joining the SEGA Nerdcast tomorrow to talk #Shenmue, SEGA and his recent trip to Yokosuka, Japan!"
"We're kicking off the Nerdcast with @imranyusuf to talk Shenmue and more. Come hang with your #SEGA friends:"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShXkI7X4Jwg
If you want to skip to Imran's segments he appears from 0:06:20 to 0:09:05 and from 0:11:20 to 0:34:00.

Imran on his Twitter account:
"Great chat on @SEGANerds, my idea is to introduce Ryo, Lan Di etc as playable characters in the next Virtua Fighter #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense"

He also talked about his experience in the gaming industry where he worked for, his trip to Yokosuka - Japan, his experiences with Shenmue and what he and they love about it and, last but not least, about #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense and how SEGA should approach Shenmue's fate. It's a very interesting and entertaining watch.

Re: Why Shenmue's Future Only Makes Sense on PS4.

That was a mistake to come out and say something like that in front of their fans. His mindset about what business is the gaming industry led him to not double-think what he just said. That or he shares the current motto of the whole industry, something like "if you want to survive, don't listen to your fans, but look at the numbers". Something like SEGA's doing. But that is not a panacea to your business. Even so, it is not a balanced mindset between your fans and the numbers. Sure, he said that they hear them but in the end they look at how much it will cost and how much it will sell, but if you're loosing *loyal* customers, then someday your business' charts will experience a sudden decline. On a second thought, that statement was one of despair; based on how Wii U's sales doing; kind of in an aggressive manner, cold heart logic, but not balanced.

In contrast, PlayStation's team's mindset *seems* completely different. Even before PS4's launch, they managed to bring Borderlands 2; that led them to use that team and *ask* what games *fans* want. Therefore, they first listen to the fans and then logically are looking at the most effective ways to bring what fans want, to "make peoples' pockets happy". Completely different approach from Nintendo's. They even promoting motto's such as "#4ThePlayers", #GreatnessAwaits" et cetera. The only piece missing from PS' idealistic image puzzle, is to act-ually do what fans want, go for the next real step. That, personally as a *fan*, will convince me to follow what they offer about gaming, as long as they keep approaching fans that way.

Now, about Microsoft, their policies are known. Monopolistic, setting the standards on what consumer would want, but without asking them... Absolutely capitalistic mindset, which sets what you have to buy, not what you want to buy, as a consumer. Their DRM and privacy policies, and generally their policies, is something that personally frightened I want to avoid and stay away from...

Re: SHENMUE XMAS SPECIAL 2013 (NEW SHENMUE FANGAME)

I originally planned for all the dialog to be voiced in a fire emblem awakening manner. However, due to other commitments, I don't have the time to ...
Why do you not take us, some of the Shenmue fans here and there(Shenmue500k), to voice Shenmue characters? It could be a fun project for a small part of the fanbase.

Re: Why Shenmue's Future Only Makes Sense on PS4.

In a few words, I think the point on why PS4 is the appropriate console for Shenmue (in the basis of considering and comparing the sales and the audience kind, of the three major console manufacturers), may arise from these facts:
⋅  A Xbox console is not the one most of the gamers will go for JRPGs and it is not successful in all regions, that is not successful in Japan.
⋅  Wii U (currently) does not sell well worldwide. (Otherwise, it would be an appropriate one.)
⋅  A PlayStation console is the one a lot of gamers will go for JRPGs and it is successful in all regions, including Japan. Furthermore, as the current reports show, PS4 sells better than the Xbox One (and both of them have the merits to outsold Wii U).

I will say the classic saying that, whatever the console, the game is I care the most. Even if Wii U will take it (if they are really obsessed with finding one game that can sell consoles ), personally I will take it (and I am not indicating here that I like or not like, Wii U).

Epilogically, consider this post .

As for why Shenmue's future makes sense, pardon me but I can not answer that question unbiased, because me and a lot of others Shenmue fans we struggle every so and often, almost every day, to make our voices being heard, to make Shenmue's future bright and make sense (for those who only look at numbers).

Re: Project: Sekai

Can you pull off an old mysterious person who hard to distinguish the voice from male or female? xD
Here some voice samples about that... https://soundcloud.com/shenmue-nextgen/sets/gio-voice-samples-for-project I tried my best to voice as that. I studied Yuan's Japanese voice for the last ones. xD xD
