I like the cut of this guy's jib. Someone get him over here because his opinion is not the kind that will last long on NeoGAF.

lol. Agreed. He won't be on GAF very long.

It feels like people have forgotten how rad and revolutionary the PS1 and PS2 gens were. Great videogame openings that come to mind are MGS1, SM64, Silent Hill 2, FF7. Games became cinematic in their own way without relying on much that existed before.

In the case of SM64, it was rad as fuck to see and play in a fully 3D playground .

3D during the PSX era was mindblowing as a kid (I know I'm making Adam and A_I_A feel old :doge ). Going from NES->Genesis 8-bit/16-bit side-scrollers to Tomb Raider's open exploring was just "woah."

Of course, I played Descent on my Pentium 1 at the time so while I was able to play 3D before that point, the whole explosion into 3D worlds was amazing. PS2's graphics for 1999 and upgrading with more polygons was also mindblowing, but not on the level of Soul Calibur. Looking at shots of that in magazines was "holy shit, that's POSSIBLE!?"

And then the Dreamcast version of Soul Caliber came out and looked /better/ than the arcade version.

Good post. Accurate too. No Japanese gaming fan who has any sense reads any gaming site besides US Gamer. That's if they don't know Japanese. If you know Japanese, there's literally no reason to give a rat's ass what some Professional Message Board Poster thinks. Just go to the source. No reason to deal with covert (and sometimes overt) racism and media bias. This shit started over ten years ago too. I don't know a single jrpg fan for instance, who cares what "journalists" thinks. You buy on gut or word of mouth.

Most of the people in that thread are laughing at the coverage. If you bothered to read the thread, many of them aren't even fans, or even backed it.

You just sound like a jack ass. Oh no, people care and are reporting the media coverage of something put 100+ dollars on. How surprising.

Pie and Beans is a low tier autist shitposter, and his post reflects that.

Maybe videogame coverage as a concept is shitty to begin with? Unless a journalist is allowed to go balls deep and document tons of info during development, all videogame coverage is generally unneeded and dull as fuck.

You sure do like talking out of that snitch ass of yours.

Quote
“It annoyed me because people forget that this game has never been able to be developed in the last 14 years, and so it’s clear that the Kickstarter campaign played a vital role in its funding. I think that the media’s desire to create buzz around this issue will strain our campaign by at least $2m. I don’t have any words for the minority of journalists who seem to sometimes forget their duty to provide information by writing about their interpretations rather than facts.

Shibuya Productions and many involved with the game production and development have dismissed and outright and called out the media coverage.

But you won't acknowledge that because you're full of shit.

I never saw that because I'm not following Shenmue 3 closely (and never claimed I was, ever), its nice that publisher/developer is standing up for themselves. But once again, gaming media has no responsibility to do anything. It's always been this way, with all kinds of results.

The reality is some diehard Shenmue fans will wallow amongst themselves over coverage, while people that loathe Shenmue laugh at the wallowing, while games journalists will keep writing articles intended for both groups to keep the cycle going.

The only agenda game journalists have is to keep readers coming back. This Shenmue coverage is perfect bait.

This quest for revenge is null in the end though, its the journey itself that matters, and what you learn along the way.

You described Shenmue as a series in this way. I wonder what will happen first, will your quest for revenge end before Shenmue is completed as a story?

Shenmue fans sure are thin-skinned.  :doge

In an interview with Dualshockers.com, Yu Suzuki was asked if Microsoft contacted him previously. He gave a non-answer and chuckled. Gamespot took this as a sign that apparently Shenmue III is coming to Xbox One under zero evidence.

DualShocker's made a rebuttal article, found here, to clarify that, no, that's not what's going on.

Found here:

http://www.dualshockers.com/2015/10/22/shenmue-iii-no-yu-suzuki-did-not-tease-xbox-one-plans/

Gamespot writer's response?

"Honestly, I have no interest in envenomed public debate. You think I'm spinning for traffic, I think you're being soft. Laters."

Soft? Sure sounds familiar and pretty similar to what Mormapope did last page. Apparently, holding journalists to actually report shit means people are thin-skinned or soft when they're called out on it. Gamers :dead

Just clearing up facts, me and duckroll never wrote for a site together, unless that site was gaf forum reviews or something.  The only things we ever collaborated on was the Xenosaga Ep1 translation guide as part of a bigger team and fansubbing the last couple of eps of Gundam 00 S1 and maybe some of Eureka Seven?  Man, I totally forgot I fansubbed most of E7; 11 years is a long time, I think I did that one solo.

I wrote for a site that did import reviews run by a guy who hired me off gaf for a year or two.  Would do a lot of obscure bad games like PSP brain training clones.  Not fun.  And then for 1UP as a freelancer for about 6-12 months.  That's basically all my official site writing creds.

Not sure what sites, if any, duckroll has written stuff for. 

I always find/found it more fun to just write stuff on forums.  Yeah you don't get the $100-200 or something, but as an adult with real jobs that doesn't really matter and it's way better to just write what you want whenever you feel like it as a hobby and not feel forced to write stuff about videogames.

Nah, I'm saying the idea of "reporting" a game while its being made will always be a dumb concept. Imagine if movie critics started to ask about production, and then talk about how they feel about Mark Wahlberg eating all the candy on set, how cool or dumb a scene looks while its being shot.

All game journalists are good for is playing a preview build that isn't released to the public. And with game demos dying, that element made their already not needed job more important.

No sane person gives a shit about Shenmue internet drama. Either play it or don't. Talk about the actual game or don't when it comes out. But leave that other shit out of here please.

Just saying.

Agreed and I'll never post more than a sentence about Shenmue in this thread ever again, until it comes out.

Yeah, the blatant inexplicable hostility towards eastern works amongst most western journos is pretty nauseating and makes it so that the goober grape fucks actually have a valid point or two. :duh Least we got Toasty and his crew doing good work. :rejoice

My favorite example is Musou.

Years and years of "why do people play these games? 3/10"

Zelda Warriors comes out and "wow great fan service 8/10"

When Musou games have never been anything other than fan service.

Just clearing up facts, me and duckroll never wrote for a site together, unless that site was gaf forum reviews or something.  The only things we ever collaborated on was the Xenosaga Ep1 translation guide as part of a bigger team and fansubbing the last couple of eps of Gundam 00 S1 and maybe some of Eureka Seven?  Man, I totally forgot I fansubbed most of E7; 11 years is a long time, I think I did that one solo.

I wrote for a site that did import reviews run by a guy who hired me off gaf for a year or two.  Would do a lot of obscure bad games like PSP brain training clones.  Not fun.  And then for 1UP as a freelancer for about 6-12 months.  That's basically all my official site writing creds.

Not sure what sites, if any, duckroll has written stuff for. 

I always find/found it more fun to just write stuff on forums.  Yeah you don't get the $100-200 or something, but as an adult with real jobs that doesn't really matter and it's way better to just write what you want whenever you feel like it as a hobby and not feel forced to write stuff about videogames.

Naw. You guys wrote on a site. ask duck. You posted reviews to that site and they were exclusive to that site.

Good post. Accurate too. No Japanese gaming fan who has any sense reads any gaming site besides US Gamer. That's if they don't know Japanese. If you know Japanese, there's literally no reason to give a rat's ass what some Professional Message Board Poster thinks. Just go to the source. No reason to deal with covert (and sometimes overt) racism and media bias. This shit started over ten years ago too. I don't know a single jrpg fan for instance, who cares what "journalists" thinks. You buy on gut or word of mouth.

Pie and Beans is also an autistic Sony stanley and the idea that it might get an xbone version just to push funding some more from that audience has the Sony collective hive shook they might lose a precious exclusive on top of the PS4 version likely being 30FPS according to that interview. I guarantee you will get a repeat when the NX is revealed and they make another push for funding a NX version too.

Like everything on gaming side, it all comes down to console wars wrapped up in obtuse BS to justify their claims. Shenmue 3's "Shameful media coverage" is Sony stanleys trying to defend their prize exclusive (That's also on PC) that was a bad idea to be announced as a console exclusive and now Shibuya/Suzuki are regretting it because the funding hasn't been there from one fanbase. Now they have to pander to others. They might be able to squeeze another $2-4 million out of Xbutts and Nintenyearolds and people are fucking FURIOUS they are considering it. The fact it's likely going to be 30FPS on PS4 just puts more salt in the wound and adds more claims of "Bias" because how dare the press ask questions like framerate.   

And as with any console war these days. They are all on the losing side
