Just imagine, the Dreamcast all around the world had a life span up until 2007 as it did in Japan (Despite how Saturn fanboys give Stolar shit (it's not his fault the Saturn failed in North America), Stolar would have NEVER given up on Dreamcast in North America. He made its launch a success and I think he could have kept its momentum going. Not enough to beat the PS2, but enough to keep it relevant and he would have never have shipped it off to X-Box at the last minute as Peter Moore did). Shenmue was relatively a bigger success to the point that Shenmue III would have come out on Dreamcast in Japan in Dec 2002, and in the US in early 2003. How would it differ from what we got now? We know some obvious ones such as the VF engine staying in place, and we would still have OutRun, Space Harrier, and After Burner. Also, no Save Shenmue temple.
Another obvious one, saves could have been carried over so depending on how much money you had at the end of Shenmue II, you wouldn't have to worry about grinding for money to get that damn wine. However, I believe Son was intended to be based on Shun Di and if you sparred with him, I wonder if he would've fought like him. As for the two main bosses, I wonder how they would've played out. I think Chai would've been another free battle as opposed to a simple QTE fight.
1. Just like how Shenmue II on Dreamcast was Japanese only, it's probable that Shenmue III audio-wise would be Japanese only as well.
2. The bodycheck and reverse bodycheck, being regular moves for Akira in Virtua Fighter, would also be regular moves in the VF engine. However, in the boss fights, like how that reverse elbow against Dou Niu was a freeze QTE, I think the bodycheck and reverse bodycheck in those fights would be freeze QTEs in those instances.
3. The QTEs would be much better.
4. I think 85% of the story would have still been the same. I think it would have still ended with Ryo, Shen Hua, and Ren walking along the Great Wall.
5. I think chopping wood would have been chopping tiles like how it was originally conceived based on old concept art.
6. We would be gambling directly for money like in Shenmue II instead of tokens just to accommodate modern gambling laws in Japan.
7. Would we have still gotten the international calls?
8. Would eating food still be part of the game?
9. Would Ryo finally have the ability to change clothes?
10. Would we still get Chobu Chan? Or would Chobu Chan be replaced with random Sega characters like Sonic?
However, I do wonder if the training would still be in-tact such as sparring, the one-inch punch, rooster steps, and the horse stance. Or, would we go back to shadow boxing like in Shenmue I?
