I have never seen this video before either. The "View Mode" was not in the final release. There were a lot of minor things that were changed prior to the release of Shenmue. I didn't see it in this video, but the planned bike riding would have been awesome in the final product. Shenmue is awesome.

I think all of those videos were new. Interesting that we are still seeing stuff we never have before.

Yes a lot of that looked new to me. Highly recommended viewing.

Ryo kicked tom's ass in that one video, what was that about? Looked like a LanDC skin swap.

Mark was originally intended to be a Mad Angel? Cool! I like him better the other way, though. Chai is such a little creep.

stuff i noticed

dudes on top of the crane at harbour (seen before)
beta lan di with low poly pony tail.
a shot with a ton of npcs on screen at once in dobuita (could dreamcast handle that?)
miki appears twice in same shot 1:39 lol
chai on crane at night, not in main game, at least we don't see him there
Iwao character model is different, looks younger
Ryo collects Zhu Yuanda letters from the mail box himself rather than than being given it by ine san. 4.49
beta yamanose
ryo's jacket rides up further and has some kind of crease folding, fabric movement effect
different forklift models
arcade very different, flat table machines. and plants
phone booth much smaller, narrower
locking onto and speaking to a woman on a balcony!
ryo has different stance in free battle, looks weird, leans forward, maybe there was a pose for when he gets tired in battle.
old terry qte chase (seen before)
beating up mark (seen before)
chai doesn't eat ticket!
VIEW MODE -move camera around during cinematics - cut from final game
buoys, nets in water at harbour
snow gathering at the edge of water itself

they probably couldn't use this footage for promotion since so many little things had changed by final release.

Dang, beat me to it :P
Yeah, just finished watching this, can't say I've ever seen this before either! Some very interesting stuff here. Dobuita has a lot more going on than in the final as well, including a lot of NPC's that didn't make it to the final game at all, and also characters where they shouldn't be (Nomura-san was the owner of the motorcycle shop?)

Just when you thought you saw it all!

Thank you for compiling list of changes John. I assumed we didn't see as many NPC's on screen due to technical limitations as the framerate in the final version was choppy can't imagine what the performance would have been with that many characters.

Question, since I thought I've seen all Shenmue promo material the section that has the Dreamcast controller showing Ryo's movements via button inputs, has that ever been shown? Clearly looks like promotional material but I can't recall ever seeing that.

These we're awesome, like pure fan service. Why else would they put previously unreleased material on the page to get people to know the games. Man, as if the announcment of Shenmue III wasn't enough already.
