Where am I telling you're playing or you'll be playing a bunch of shit?

 

I presume you didn't actually read anything that I wrote? It just went - ZOOOM - over head?

I don't suffer fools gladly, so an annoying drive by shit-post deserves to be met with a vitriolic poke.

Why so overly defensive? All I said was that after reading the quote over and over it reminds me of rose-tinted glasses. "coming home, reuniting with an old friend, flood of satisfaction". I am interested in Shenmue 3 now the hardware technology is available to fully support Yu Suzuki's vision and dream, and I do hope it becomes a raging success for the development team(s) and excites fans, naysayers and newcomers.

 

But the quote is void of any information. He might as well have said nothing. But the same applies to me.

It's like any interview with anybody working on a game, take it with a pinch of salt, they're not going to say "Well it's a bit shit really innit?" are they?

I just find it weird that somebody who says they didn't like 1 or 2 are in here complaining that he's saying it brings back the same feelings playing 1 and 2 did back in the day. For him.

My daughter just played through Shenmue (with me helping) and is currently on disk 2 of Shenmue 2. I love the game, but It's been quite a while since I properly played it and Shenmue 2 I only played once. Shenmue 2 is actually better than I remember it, and significantly better than the first game. Even taking the rose tinited glasses off it's a great game. If 3 is even a patch on 2 and continues the story, I'll be happy. I'm lowering my expectations and expecting a sub par 7/10, but even that would still please me.

I highly doubt we will see any kind of game or vision that is on par with today's heavy hitters. The tech may exist to now fulfil Suzuki's dream and vision, but it doesn't seem he has that much money to do it or that his vision has actually moved on with the times. All I ask is a satisfactory conclusion to the story. Anything else I view it as a welcome bonus.

Shenmue 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, but I don't really like Shenmue 1 at all. It's scope is just too limited for the epic experience it presents itself as.

 

As for Shenmue 3, I backed it at £40 knowing that the final game will probably end up being a weird budget thing, so anything more than that will be a bonus. The footage shown so far seems fine to me, even slightly better than expected.

I dunno, if you didn't like either of the first two games in this series, I highly, highly doubt a 3rd game designed primarily for people who did like the first two is going to change your mind. I think the highlighted is where you are going to go wrong too, your personal expectations for what the project should be and what it actually is seem out of whack.

 

If Yu Suzuki was on record as claiming this was going to be some sort of massive reboot designed to appeal to people who didn't like Shenmue in the first place, then I could see why people might be mentally picturing this scenario but I'm fairly certain he hasn't said anything that would lead any sensible person to believe that.

 

Then again, I'd have thought all the people who didn't like the series would be fawning over the 'replacement' series that some people have been saying for years is the one which does the concept right anyway... :P

The sequel is so much a better actual game than the first one, but I think they both have different aims which might explain that. The original was only the first chapter and is fairly intimate with you getting to know your home town so is naturally fairly limited, while the sequel encompasses multiple chapters of the story and is way more epic in nature as a result, with the side effect of losing some of the detail that the first game had.

 

I much prefer the sequel too, so if Shenmue III can recapture that certain something both of the original games uniquely had, I'll be satisfied with my prepurchase.

Pretty sure I was the first nut case Shenmue fan to start bothering celebrities on twitter, specifically by imploring them to support the now defunct #giveyutheshenmuelicence hashtag by re-tweeting it. However, my scope was pretty much limited to all I knew: the UK urban music industry. Needless to say, Dappy and Tinchy Stryder did not oblige me.

Screens look fantastic, can't wait. Although I suspect I will have to as I can't see this releasing until next year.

 

Good.  A bad game is bad forever, he can take as long as he needs to pull it all together. We've waited this long after all.
