Shenmue 3 - I'm looking for sailors

They need to put some more games in the arcade and more games you can buy for your Saturn, unless Ryo upgraded and got himself a dreamcast.

Space Harrier was so hard. T__T

Shenmue 1 wasnā€™t a great game and hasnā€™t aged well it has a lot of flaws and most fans are incapable of not looking at it with rose tinted glasses, that being said it was still a unique and fun game and the sequel fixed most of the flaws, Iā€™m not crying over a third one like some of you, but itā€™s still really fucking awesome to finally get closure after all this time.

Watch Shenmue 4 get announced after 3 launches, Lan Di comes back as a cybernetic zombie dragon with a machine gun arm XD.

ā€œEvery dream has come true, EVERY dream has come true!ā€

ā€œHOW MUCH? HOW MUCH? TAKE EVERYTHING THAT I HAVEā€ starts crying

Space harrier ain bad. I grew up with it though.

This is the only revival I actually believe in at this yearā€™s E3.

  1. This was the only revival that a JP company has commited to for reasons other than them being in a bad way and needing momentum.

  2. Shenmue has always been a very interesting series and doesnā€™t need to have had been a block buster. It appears that they are well aware that the series has alot of good ideas and are willing to give it a shot.

I canā€™t wait!

Somebody should crowdfund Hellboy 3 and Kick-Ass 3.

The aging is likely why weā€™re getting the first two games condensed into movie form. I loved the first Shenmue but I donā€™t see myself playing through it again. Iā€™ll gladly take a refresher.

love the way the guys lost their shit on hearing the music startā€¦ LOL, that is priceless.

Iā€™ve watched that video over and over again.

I still got Shenmue 2 to finish. I bought a copy recently but before that I ainā€™t played in since i was like 8. But i do remember enjoying that one.

I actually finished the 1st game a few months ago. And yeah it has flaws, but idk i still think itā€™s a coo game just from how it progresses and the characters, cutscenes and etc.

But yeah I believe the OG Ryo VA is returning. Idk i want Shenmue 3 to still have that sorta bad voice acting because that gives the games so much charm

part of shenmueā€™s charm is the atrocious english voice acting. itā€™s not OG RE-tier levels of atrocious but it is up there. still, it could use tweaking before it gets released so at least it could be digestible by casual gamers and not just die hard fans. XD

Personally I hope Yu tones down the mystical stuff, one of the reasons I enjoyed the story was for how grounded it was but then that last disc of Shenmue 2 goes and shits on all that. :confused:

Anyway, time to go and clock in some reps at the parkā€¦

I hope thereā€™s still mysticism in it but the appearance of the mystical just extremely understated. one of its merits is the power of belief in oneself; hardwork, positivity and belief creates all kinds of advances in abilities and is the key to humanity.

Shenmue respects traditions which is what gives the environments and its people such fidelity that is unrivalled in most games

I was looking at the chapter concept art and it gave me a very Chinese hero comic book type vibe, a bit of kung fu, a bit of heroism akin to Dragon Tiger Gate, Fung Wan or Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre type ish.

always hoped they would tie shenmue in with Virtua Fighter. but I donā€™t mind either way now

Well it DID start as Virtua Fighter RPG.

Iā€™ve heard prices have gone up for the Shenmue II, but itā€™s not looking bad. Only played the first (hated the controls for the fighting upon multiple playthroughs), and didnā€™t bother with the second, with some of it due to Peter Moore cancelling the U.S. release. About to change that with since the 3rd one is on its way. Iā€™m wondering if heā€™s going to end it at 3 or continue up to Chapter 6?

He already did a lot of condensing just between Shenmue 1 & 2. I believe originally the entirety of the second game (Chapter 2) was supposed to take place on the boat for instance.

Ryo gets amnesia and lives the rest of his life as Akira. Top tier plot twist, OP pls nerf.
