Yeah, he is kind of known for his graphical accomplishments. Actually, he was quite upset with how the game looked when JCE was developing it. He said that it wasn't Shenmue standard at all.

Honestly deep down, "you know why that sites gone down"


Ehm... nope... wasn't me.. *quiet evil laugh* :twisted: (Now day 3)

Right on. Shenmue is his baby so to speak. I'm sure he puts lot of thought and emotion in his pride and joy, namely Shenmue.

But for all we know he could be doing the next Super Hang On game as we speak totally neglecting his epic masterpiece.... *sigh*

I just wish we could get some form of news from him that is in a positive direction.. His latest interview by kikizo sucked so bad, he was all like;

Well I'm doing SOOO much,... and well I can't really tell you about any of it... and don't get your hopes up... but well... I have ALOOT of things goin' on... Real serious shit with lasers and stuff...

Kiyuu, any reasons to why it could have gone down in the first place, are they getting ready for an update? Thats what usually happens on 360, downtime, nothing done then update couple of days later! you sound as though you know what you're doing!

Sakuragaoka? That the member on these boards?

Who is actually running the Shenmue website then? Has this guy bought the domain? If so, can't SEGA even access the website?

They haven't updated the site since March 2004, except adding the link to SO in Aug. 2004.
Actually, SEGA don't manage the site properly anymore, it's not even on their DNS server.
They let the ownership of the domain be expired 15 months ago, and one of our members
obtained it. Though it was returned to them, they haven't done what they should do till now.

Anyway, I'm afraid they wouldn't update the site in the near future, unless they're ready to
surprise us with some significant announcement by any chance.

Yes. Sakuragaoka says he's already returned the domain to them and it's SEGA who is
responsible for switching the DNS servers.

As Kiyuu said, it's still on Sakuragaoka's server.


The reason for the downtime has nothing to do with SEGA because (sorry for the caps)...

SEGA HAS NO CONTROL OVER WHAT YOU SEE AT SHENMUE.COM.

It is being hosted by forum member Sakuragaoka. Doesn't anyone remember the whole passport fiasco?
