I’m wondering where Yu Suzuki goes from here. The short clip we saw on the KS clearly needed work, but will he get the original voice actors back or what?

It’s been a long time since Shenmue and apparently Suzuki’s said Sega still own S1 and S2. So, personally, I really think we need them releasing too. I’m hoping Sega are seeing this and get to work on releasing 1 and 2.

I’d love to have the trilogy on steam or something; )

Quantic Dream HD remake bundle coming soon

It’s difficult to explain why Shenmue is so great. Some people hate it for its clunky mechanics and voice acting and it’s hard to disagree, but for me personally, I saw it as the next step in the adventure genre.

It starts off with a cliché story about a revenge, but as you go through it, it becomes so much more. You move at your own pace and explore the area and the way of life through the people you meet. You learn about the their culture, about martial arts all while the story moves along at the pace you choose. Telltale and other games have clearly taken elements from Shenmue, but they’ve decided to keep it in the more TV show format.

Add to that the choice to find collectables in shops, fighting mechanics and (at the time advance) cinematic atmosphere, it becomes a really unique experience for its time. It was years ahead.

Shenmue 2 got rid of some of the issues, and added more to the trilogy with a huge chunk of Hong Kong to explore

I think this guy likes Shenmue

However I remember it being the most expensive game in the world at the time to make so how are they going to do it for $2-4m. Broken Age struggled with $3m and it’s not an open world game. I suspect the kickstarter is just to show investers that there is an appetite for the game and the real funding is coming from elsewhere.

Wiki says it was the equivalent of $100m in todays money and that just the first game.

People also look back at that game with rose coloured glasses. Yes it was the first game to have a truly realistic open world with Day night schedules and characters who had a schedule. You had to work and do normal day to day stuff and be in bed every night etc. However that world could be tediously realistic at times.

It also invented QTE’s so we have it to thank or blame for that.

The game was a technological marvelpiece that was way ahead of it’s time, but since then we have had Sleeping Dogs and Yakuza and Grand Theft Auto etc that have all done open world urban landscapes better.

It will be interesting to see if they pull this off.

The numbers are all over the places to the point of us not knowing the truth.

I think the truth was 47 million for everything.

It started life on the saturn, got scrapped for a fresh start on the DC, then split into two games. You also have to take into account that they had to build the tools every engine takes for granted nowadays.

Turned it off. Starfox has waggle crap and the rest of this has been stretched out due to having nothing. The wiiu’s last big game might be Starfox and Zelda (that might get ported too).

How is Xenoblade still not out yet!? It’s been in dev the wii u’s whole life.
