Sega is bringing nine playable games to this year's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, including one unannounced game.
I'm ready for the let down
SEGA's blog said it was a new IP for digital release. Shenmue isn't exactly a new IP.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lol. I was hoping it was a western release of Project Diva F. :(SEGA's blog said it was a new IP for digital release. Shenmue isn't exactly a new IP.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YES
TASTE THE TEARS OF THE DEFEATED, SO DELICIOUS
I used to like Shenmue, then I realized it sucks when I went back to play it.
So many games have evolved past everything Shenmue could ever do in every way possible, many games have stood the test of time. Shenmue ain't one of them.
nothing's ever going to top shenmue city for prompting tears from the horrible fans, but i'm more than happy to watch sega continue to try
My Dreamcast freezes when I play Shenmue 1 and 2. I don't know if it's my GD-ROMS or the Dreamcast, but replacing Shenmue II PAL isn't exactly easy to do. Plus, 1080p isn't possible on Dreamcast. I could emulate in NullDC, but that emulator is still spotty.

Me too... vocaloids are really popular and have some fairly widespread appeal from what I've seen (hell, you can even get vocaloid-themed tshirts at Hot Topic)... have no idea why Sega wouldn't try releasing Project Diva f... but then again, it's Sega.
Shenmue is such a clunky, boring game, I'm not sure why anyone would want to play it again.
Let's talk about PSO2 instead. At least that has actual gameplay.

BELIEVE
Shenmue hate :lolI have over 140 hours on the JP version at this point. So many nights spent staying up until Like 5 a.m. Game will own your soul. :hyper
But yes let's talk about an actual game that is coming over, PSO2.
I started playing the JP version but quickly ended when there were rumblings of an english announcement on the PSO twitter. I dont think chars will transfer Trent :(No they will not and if PSU is any indication neither will most of the content! There's a pretty thriving English community on the JP servers anyway. If the US servers are well run and fairly up to date I'll run on them too, it'd be nice to know wtf is going on story wise. :lol
I used to care about more Shenmue, but then Sega started releasing the Yakuza games in the west, so maybe I'm not so dang invested in that anymore.
I'd far prefer a Yakuza 1/2 HD release over Shenmue, and it'd probably do better for Sega in the long run too.

Isn't this in the cards though as i could have sworn seeing some rumbling about it.
Stop comparing Yakuza to Shenmue.
Also the "lol no gameplay" trolls are pretty bad and show how limited your gaming knowledge is.
shenmue doesn't have gameplay, it has you walking around a city asking people repetitive questions
Shenmue 1 IS boring, and that's part of the novelty.
punk bitch.It's been YEARS, I miss this phrase :lol
Title should be renamed "SHENMUE FANS - get pumped for Yakuza 1/2 HD".

Thanks for proving my point and exposing you know shit all about games.

Same shit. Talk to people, find out where to go, get direction, solve puzzle, get new plot advancement, get a few items, start process over.
Go back to your xbuck and play Mass of Shit 3, Positive.
Because that is clearly all you do know how to play, punk bitch.
But unlike games that just fall flat and end up being dull, Shenmue 1 is dull...on PURPOSE.
The Secret of Monkey Island is really only nominally a game - it's better described as a set of puzzles. It doesn't require any judgement/decisions, only problem-solving. While we're on the subject, most rhythm games aren't best-described as games either, for similar reasons - they're purely tests of reflexes and memory. Chess - game, Jigsaw puzzle - puzzle.

I dunno man. It depends on how you see it. When you talk to people you're kind of expected to use real world common sense. If you're looking for say, sailors, you don't go asking fucking Nozomi about them. You go to a bar, late at night, asking about sailors. Shenmue works in a way other games don't. It operates on real world common sense, at least the puzzles, and that's why I really enjoy it.Well, I was careful to say 'barely'. Also, please understand: I'm not trying to marginalise Shemue by saying it doesn't comfortably fit into X existing category. I don't like Shenmue, but not-fitting-comfortably-into-well-understood-paradigms is not a reason to shit on it.
Also, it does have puzzles. Finding Chen and the Warehouse? That is one huge puzzle. Finding the second mirror? You have to buy batteries, grab a flashlight (either at Tomato Convenience Store or find one in your house). Then you have to find the KEY to unlock the sword in the dojo. Use the sword in the slot in the door, then you use the flashlight to explore the basement, look around for new items to grab. How is that any different from Monkey Island, in any way? It's the same shit.
But more than that, all of this is expounded upon in its sequel. In the sequel, oh man. You have to find out four codes of conduct martial artists must hold. You only know, I don't know, TWO - and that's a maybe if you haven't encountered Jianmin practicing tai chi in the park - martial artists at the outset. Then you slowly uncover all of this fucking awesome shit - through, again, exploration and real world common sense. I don't understand how this isn't considered puzzles? It's no different to me than sailing from one island, changing Guybrush's Wanted poster and getting the map chick arrested in Monkey Island 2, except Shenmue's puzzles tend to be larger scale.
Shenmue's puzzles tend to be exploration-based - as in, how the hell do I find x to achieve y? Monkey Island and its derivatives tend to be logic-based, as in, I've got x so I'll try to use it to achieve y. This does not take away from the fact that they are puzzles.
IT'S TRUE THOUGH.
YOU KNOW HOW I SAID GAMES CAN'T BE ART BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BORING GAMES?
Shenmue is case example number 1.
You've never played Shenmue OR Yakuza, have you, PF?
TOLD YOU.
SLEEPING DOGS IS SHENMUE 3

so you're saying chinese and japanese all look the same to you, eh himu

Himu: "Shen Mue 1 is dull...on purpose! To prove my point, here's footage from Shen Mue II."
:wtf
Shenmue was the inspiration for my approach to starting new threads. I tried to make them shorter, though.

Shenmue II Part 16 Working With Books Again

Are you stupid? Shenmue II has more action than Shenmue 1, but it still operates on similar principles.
Stop comparing Yakuza to Shenmue.

Why not? I mean, Yakuza is obviously Sega's attempt to expand and improve on the failed Shenmue series.

Shut the fuck up Andrex.
Animal Crossing *is* a better game than Shenmue. And Animal Crossing is a piece of shit.

Also, I like how lyte edge goes into some stupid semantic argument i don't give a fuck about
Himu: "Shen Mue 1 is dull...on purpose! To prove my point, here's footage from Shen Mue II."

In Shenmue I you go to work, every day, on disc 3. You get on a fork lift, pick up crates from 8 am to 12 pm, have a lunch break where you beat up dudes, then you go back to THE GRIND at 1pm and work until 5 pm.
In Shenmue II, immediately at the beginning of the game, you wake up, go to the docks at 8 am, and they have you picking up crates for an hour.
Later, in order to progress the story because MARTIAL ARTISTS NEED PATIENCE and "you need more kung fu, Ryo!" you take out books and air them from 9 am to 12 pm, EVERY DAY, until you advance the story and leave Xiuying's apartment.
Even later in Shenmue II, you are tasked with a martial arts test: catch a leaf from the tree. You can't continue the game until you do. After that, you are forced to catch three leaves in a row.
Please tell me a counter-argument that suggests this is a game that is not trying to be as mundane as possible on purpose to immerse the player into its world.
Then I will stop treating you like you are an idiot.
"It's boring!" No fucking shit. That's the entire point, dumb fuck. When I brought up Shenmue 1 being dull, I mostly meant it's slow, plodding, and nothing ever happens. Shenmue II? Even if there are slow parts, there's still parts where you're being chased by a Chinese transsexual with a chainsaw. In comparison, Shenmue 1 is nothing BUT slow, which is hard to explain if you have not played either game.
Haha, I am looking forward to Animal Crossing 3ds. But it will never come out. When it does, I will add you to my friends list and we can trade fabrics like homos, Andy-kun.
is it true you are a mayor in Animal Crossing 3ds? How does that work
Yes it says that the only thing people can do when talking about it is troll, leaving fans of the games incapable of discussing it to the point that they'd rather change the subject.
Almost all of my posts are rebuttals to idiotic claims and posts from people who clearly have not played Shenmue nor Yakuza. Shut the fuck up, Lyte Edge.
I still think it's dumb because Shenmue at least, takes a pretty rounded look at martial arts, particularly II. Yakuza is just "I'm going to smash your face against this wall" which is COOL. But it's the same way EVERY GAME EVER has handled martial arts, which is the physical aspect of it, and never the spiritual and mental aspect of it. So this clearly shows that the games offer completely different experiences. So when says that Yakuza is an improvement on what Shenmue did, it makes you look like a dumbass.
Maybe I think like this because I have played II whereas most people here have only played 1. So I consider Shenmue as a whole (I and II) and not just 1.
PD isn't wrong about Shenmue/Monkey Island.Off Topic, Hyper are you a pole?
smh, Himu's not even a real Shenmue fan, he's a "born again" fan.
I played Shenmue 1 for the third time in 2005. I realized the game really wasn't that good anymore, and ended up selling my imported DC copy of Shenmue II not too long after that.
If I had a son, I would rather him be gay or transgender than like Shenmue. Because that's just poor taste, which is sad.
FREE :'(
Prior to its release, Shenmue was supposed to be _the_ game. There was a lot of hype around Yu Suzuki, the fact that it had a $70 million budget, that it was supposed to be this huge game that would shut the haters up once and for all that the Dreamcast could stand toe to toe with the PS2

??? Shen Mue came out in Japan months before the PS2 had even been released.

Shenmue came out 2 months earlier in Japan than the PS2, one month later in America.

If you want an example of games evolving past Shenmue within the same style, I would say the city parts in the last Deus Ex are a good example.

December 29, 1999 and March 4, 2000. Which is essentially two months.
Oh and Shenmue wasn't hyped as a PS2 killer, it was supposed to be the game that would shut the critics up who said that the Dreamcast could never touch PlayStation 2. It was supposed to be the game that proved Sega and the Dreamcast could hold its own against the PS2.
