Sly Reflex Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I can't remember who I was talking to but apparently this isn't the end, which is really stupid. They've had to jump through some right old hoops to get this made and to me it's only right they wrap the whole thing up, because if it flops and they leave on a cliff hanger, the fans will never get closure. That's who this game is for as well. The fans. I can't see many people jumping in at this point, especially how it looks, they're preaching to the choir on this one I'll be clear, I don't want this to be bad. I want it to the best it can be for the people that are invested, but if it is a bad game and they do manage to fuck about and not nip thee story off in a satisfying way there'll be so much backlash for this game. People have waited over a decade and had to invest in a kickstarter as well as have backing from a major company. That in itself is a bit skeevy, but if they do a huge cliffhanger and leave people out in the cold once the game wraps up I am certain they'll be hell to pay. Nothing short of Ryo getting his revenge on Lan Di will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 He's sticking to his guns and refusing to compromise on his vision, which I respect and get. This series was originally supposed to be ten games long or some shit until they crammed 4 or 5 chapters into Shenmue II when they saw they were running out of runway. So probably this has to me made with Shenmue 4 in mind without the whole thing just forcing an empty kind of closure on people. Which in some ways can be worse than no closure at all.

Sly Reflex Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ten games long? The guy's fucking insane. That's never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 he's not aiming for that now, originally the story was X amount of chapters, they ended up cutting some and merging a few in to Shenmue 2. There was supposed to be a bit on the boat between Japan and Hong Kong, it's why Shenmue 2 starts with you talking to a kid and his mum but you never saw what happened. Then Shenmue 2 is something like chapters 3-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I’m buying purely to support the Developers, I’ll probably buy 5 copies, it’s the least I can do. I’ve already got my Kickstarter copy too. I don’t really care how good the game actually is. Part of the issue is perceptions, it’s a little Indie game but part of a series that was so ridiculously AAA back in the day. So they expect something like the level of lavishness from the RE2 remake for $7 million? Not happening. You do know I’m kidding when I say that right @Sly Reflex, I’m not insane. This will get 5s, 6s and 7s across the board and be as far from a GOTY a contender as you can get. I still don’t really give a fuck. SHENMUE FUCKING 3 COMES OUT THIS YEAR!!!! HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 You'll buy 5 copies even if its crap just to support them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I hope fans get what they want. Little indie game tho, Shenmue's whole thing was this little handcrafted world full of unique details. I think. It's not a small thing to make a world feel lived in and I wonder if this new game will capture that feeling with an indie budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I kickstarted it,so I’m in. Hopefully it will turn out alright. But Yakuza kind of took where it was going,and improved on it. I don’t expect this to be anywhere near as good as Yakuza. Still,long as it’s not total bollocks,it’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Imagine if the Yakuza team did it, with their proper tongue in cheek sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ryo is too pure to be corrupted by the Yakuza studio ? @Hendo 3 hours ago, wiivo 2.0 said: You'll buy 5 copies even if its crap just to support them? Yep. I’ve never done this before in my life but I am so incredibly passionate about this game and desperately want it to be a success that I’m willing to pretty much give as much as I can to try to help ensure that. Sometimes you've gotta buy with your heart rather than head. I understand games cost money and I almost always buy with my head myself but for this I’ll be buying straight from the heart.

DisturbedSwan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I played them to completion 7-8 years ago and had a fantastic time. I have got the Remasters on PS4 but not got round to playing them yet. If I do replay them on PS4 I definitely won’t ruin the games for myself by bending over backwards to get all the trophies ?

mmmark Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Fuck off both of you. @Blakey You could have mentioned the whole video is in Japanese without subtitles and that all they did was show the same images you posted below it ? I’m sold more on it now that I’ve seen that banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The first two games are terrible and Shenmue 3 is going to be even worse. I have no nostalgia for the series and only played the ‘HD’ ports and they’re just awful games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I last played the first one in my 20s and still enjoyed it, but I played them at launch and loved them, so knowing what to expect probably helped Either way can we not use the news thread just to shit on a game that isn't out and that none of us have even properly seen running. I'm all for healthy cynicism but a page of hot takes isn't really needed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it too late to change my order to Xbox ☹️ through the kickstarter? I think so, they've not sent out the address survey's yet, but I'm sure I had to confirm my platform. Try emailing them, I did see something about them changing things for people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
