-Dark Mark- Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You are not! I have only played the first on Dreamcast and LOVED it. I never got to play the second, still want to. :/ I love the adventure, fighting, and atmosphere of it all. Would definitely loveva third or HD release. I believe Parker likes the game as well.

Lady Lilith Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 As far as I'm convinced, it's a sacrilege to play Shenmue II on Xbox, so I got the PAL Dreamcast copy (my Dreamcast is region free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIncinerator1 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Like is an understatement, my friend. The series is pure love in my eyes, a harsh love apparently though since anything regarding a 3rd game or even a HD re-release is forever a tease.

Dreakon13 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Ahhh, I loved the Shenmue games! Some of my most memorable gaming moments was because of those games. While I have to agree with Lilith that I'm ashamed to have gotten Shenmue II on the Xbox back in the day, I remember eyeballing the PAL Dreamcast import pretty hard behind the locked case in EB Games/Babbages/Gamestop/whatever that store was called at that point, because they did have it... and I did want it. Never happened though. That being said, I was thinking about an HD re-release and Shenmue III the other day, and as much as I loved the games, I feel like they probably wouldn't have aged well. The things that made them so groundbreaking (ie. day/night cycles, real open world exploration, the meticulous attention to detail in recreating life in small town Japan, QTE's, etc) have been expanded so greatly over the years... that it's quirkiness alone probably wouldn't be enough. Old fans that still care would obviously have a field day with nostalgia, but I can't imagine it would actually bring anyone new on board and may actually hurt their chances in hyping up future releases as the foul-mouthed kids of this new generation slam Metacritic with 1/10 reviews because Ryo doesn't run fast enough or some shit. I would also be interested in seeing what Shenmue III would look like (beyond the obvious reasons)... I have to think it'd wind up looking and playing a lot like Yakuza at the end of the day. It might not even feel like a Shenmue game though if they polished out the rough edges (graphics, voice acting, movement controls, etc) Edited February 1, 2015 by Dreakon13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not even feel like a Shenmue game though if they polished out the rough edges (graphics, voice acting, movement controls, etc) That's true, with the way Open-World games have sort of progressed over the years I could see 3 being sort of an oddball to modern day players what with the pacing and all. Knowing Yu Suzuki too, he'd probably keep that same atmosphere the previous games had going on which is great, but would definitely put the game in niche territory instead of grabbing a larger audience. Granted I can see him adding a lot of new features too, and definitely making some things faster paced, but even still. At most I'd still at least dig an HD re-release or something, would probably make okay sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvaro-M27 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I rememberm when i had my first console: a Dreamcast Someone offered me a Shenmue game with 4 discs... or was it just two... can't remember... i had a blast... but never got to the end... the game had a glitch and some stuff that were suppose to happen never happened...

RedEye420 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I would love to play the Shenmue games. They seem like something I would very much enjoy but I don't totally understand the options for trying to play them yet as I understand they are kind of rare. I have two Dreamcast consoles and I'm assuming they are both North American versions. Would any kind soul around care to explain how I might go about possibly playing some Shenmue? It looks like tons of fun; I'e seen a few videos of it. Edited February 3, 2015 by RedEye420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z1MZUM Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes, I'm a fan of this series and will play both at least once a year. My Japanese version of Shenmue 1 has an envelope with what looks like cartoon cells inside. I've never been able to work out what these are, Just mentioning this in case someone does. Anyway Nagis-chan1987, Big fan but I've given up on a 3,,,,,,,,,,, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z1MZUM Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Nagisa - I really do want a 3rd and some hd remakes might be the way to go to encourage this, It's just that I've been hoping for this for a long long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
