Would co-op play work with the 70 man battle?

I think it would be pretty good. I always thought it would be sick if they added multiplayer FREE battles to a SII re-release.

[Who Really Cares?]

It would give a cool reason to bring back Shenmue Passport.

You could have Online fighting, Forklift Racing, Darts and so on and you would unlock new characters to play as from the main game. So beat Rod and he unlocks.
They could have a lobby system for the fighting mode like DOA U and 4 had[not sure about 5?] so while 2 fight the others can watch and winner stays on.
Forklift racing could be 8 player online and 4 player split screen but they would probably have to make the tracks a bit bigger.

It's actually a shame, because all this would've been in Shenmue Online... a game most of youz on here seemed dead set against for some odd reason.

[Who Really Cares?]

Mainly cause people wanted III before an online spin off.

I remember making a topic on the old forums after 1 came out saying Shenmue would work as an online game but got slated for it.

I want it! It's just a pity that probably GuiZhang would get just the same moves as Ryo

[Who Really Cares?]

I doubt it, They seemed to give him a nice range of moves.

[wude]

he has some neat moves, leg moves in particular

Hmmm. Yes but only if you fight 140 mens. If you can finish the 70 man battle in less than 4min, imagine being two players. You need at least more punks or more life / enemy.

[Who Really Cares?]

Yeah more people to fight or harder opponents would be needed other wise it would be over in 2 minutes. But then it wouldn't have to be tied to just Ryo and GuiZhang or vs the Mad Angels. Think how nice it would be to fight The Heavens and not have the screen go yellow before making you lose in blackness or play as GuiZhang and Ren?

But then is that now what Shenmue Online was? Just a 70 man battle, but instead of 70 it was other numbers, and instead of CPU opponents it was all online players?

[Bluecast]

Can I change my vote?

I rather play alone like the original but the option of it being there be a great mini game online and might have a larger appeal to gamers.

this, I was really looking forward to exploring the shenmue universe online, it seemed massive as well
