  1. All i'm going to say is although I have no interest in the PS3 and definately won't buy one, if Shenmue III was released exclusively for it i'd simply have to buy it, simple as that. People could think i'm stupid for doing this, I don't care. I love Shenmue too much, like booker loves MGS.

  2. The first jRPG on Xbox 360!

     

    Reviewers have generally been giving it average-good reviews, criticizing that it is too generic etc. but then most moan about that when it comes to jRPGs, and I usually like them. Oh, and there is the most cliched gay character ever in the history of video games :grin: [http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=12497&type=wmv&pl=game, beware it's rather scary]

     

    It's out on the 8th September in Europe, and I have it preordered along with Dead Rising. The IGN and Gamespot reviews aren't up yet, but i'm unlikely to let reviews stop me from getting an RPG judging from some i've seen in the past (e.g. Cubed3 gave like 56% for Baten Kaitos, and I really liked it).

  3. I don't like the Shenmue Online trailer (and the whole idea of the game) one bit.

    This is what I said about the fantasy elements situation as so many Shenmue fans are against it.

    I am not against the whole supernatural/fantasy element as the way Shenmue II ended is one of the primary reasons why we anticipate Shenmue III so much.

     

    Like we all know, throughout Shenmue I & II it all felt very realistic, and like a seperate life (well it did to me) but the theme of the game is representing the idea of destiny/fate/prophecy , so it only felt natural when the arrival in Guilin went all mystical.

    What angers me so much about Shenmue Online is the way it seems to be destroying this magic you've gained from journeying through I and II by giving supernatural powers to... everyone :/ and used in a crappy way in battle that ruins the whole theme of destiny that has progressed throughout the saga.

     

    As much as I am against it and the way it was shown, I don't think the scene in the trailer is really a BE ALL END ALL spoiler and means that we'll never see Shenmue III.

     

    It's more than likely that the outcome of Shenmue Online will determine the decison of releasing Shenmue III or not. I hope they just release Shenmue Online in China,to bring in more fans through the MMORPG market and then get going on III. I personally think we will see III but not till 2008/2009.

  4. I'm leaving, because of many things that I don't want to go into detail with right now. Look after yourselves.

    Maybe i'll return sometime, but I don't know when..or if.

  5. Sega's Scott Steinberg mentions Shenmue III

    BIZ: Since we only have time for one more, let me throw in a question for all the hardcore gamers... Is Shenmue III ever going into production?

     

    SS: I really can't answer that, although I will say that we look very closely at our IP and a few days ago we [announced] the comeback of Golden Axe... and I know a Sega guy who worked here in the early '90s on Genesis and touched a lot of the core brands in a prior life, so having come back here in 2004 when we started to relaunch the company, part of our mission is to look at our library of IP and be real selective and smart about which ones we bring out, which ones are "next-genable" and creatively that we bring something new to the table with them. I never want to comment on any specific one, but that is a big part of our strategy... taking advantage of what we have, and of all companies in this industry, there aren't very many that have as many great brands as Sega does across all of its hardware iterations as well as arcade IP.

     

    Yet again we get the usual 'no answer' but at least it gives a bit of faith as if it definitely wasn't going to be made they'd probably say no rather than "I really can't answer that...""

    These answeres are very irritating though
