Shenmue Contest.

Hey, I'm not sure how many people here would be interested or not, but I was thinking about putting together a Shenmue fan submission contest of some sort. Could be a video, or music, or art or anything. Does anybody have an idea of something we could do? I just thought it would be good incentive to get people to submit some fun Shenmue stuff.

I was thinking that 1st prize would be all 7 .hack games for the ps2 because I'm looking to get rid of them and this seems more fun than selling them. Let me know what you guys think, positive or negative. I could also scrounge up some 2nd and 3rd place prizes as well.

Anyway...

shit they made 7 of those? I thought there were only 3-4

it could get the community active, and good shenmue related stuff has been kind of rare since a while except the odd mod and 1080 pic

I'd be up for either doing a music contest or an art contest. I have no idea what the .hack games are but I'll play for shits n giggles.

Is your PS2 modded to play US games?

No. I don't care about the games, if people enter then it'll be fun. Lamewad just needs to go about choosing what kind of contest he wants to run.

How about a Shenmue themed picture contest?
Users take photo's of someTHING in real life that reminds them of Shenmue.
Can be anything they want to capture which they figure could be placed in the games and it would appear natural as if its from the game.
Poll voting is based off different aspects like picture quality and accuracy of Shenmue related object.

:D

True, but do people these days really not have a decent enough camera to edit it using intsagram or any other automated enhancements? Someone with atleast a 10 year old 8 mega pixel camera can still do a good job. The point is more of the context and object being photographed. We can judge it purely on that if enough people want. Just figured that would be boring to not introduce some creativity still in the mix.

I dig this idea. Might have to extend entries till after Christmas (for that extra Christmas Shenmue vibe ;-) ). I'll create another topic with guidelines and rules, et cetera, in a little bit. I like this idea because it's easy enough to at least have everybody submit something.

Tuesday I'm going down to the place to take that picture. At least let me know ahead of time does it have to be some artistic thing or just something that reminds you of Shenmue so I don't have to add shitty filters in gimp for an art contest?

I just want to take a photo.

Also if I may make a suggestion pics from Japan should not count. Not fair to anyone not have gone. has to be local.

But we all went on that trip to Japan last year, we just didn't invite you.
