Hello, I was on shenmue master long ago, but when I came back recently I couldn't find their forum anymore.
At first I signed in here because link for widescreen hex edited version for dreamcast are dead in the old forum and I couldn't make the hex edit work on my version, then I found them elsewhere before approval except for the passport, but shenmue 3 comming soon make it still a good time to sign in.
I'm not sure if my computer can handle shenmue 3 and don't have a access to the demo to try, but even if I have some concern about it I'm really glad to finally see it after so many years thank to everyone that made it possible.
Like some others I'm a fan from before day one, buying a dreamcast mostly for it.
To make it short I remember loving chapter yokosuka all the way up until the ending which disapointed me, especially after ff7 and its openess after midgar.
I was hugely disapointed with shenmue 2 at first, for most of the game and hated the ending, then I found it cheap on xbox years later and loved it, which mean the translation had big impact over my enjoyement.
I play them almost yearly since many years now and began another round recently, on nulldc where I can set the free camera on the right stick and get ride of the hud with one of the z buffer option (so called "D24S8 adaptative linear (buggy still)").
About this I must raise a disapointement about all videos of gameplay I saw over the years, I know some only want to play on original hardware but for the one that don't I can't understand why they don't use the free camera often, since I tried it on emulator I can't play without it anymore, also most players run to much.
Some years ago I tried to do a longplay but my video files bugged and I don't how but some part got lost in the editing, so now I try again, a longplay where I heavily use the free camera, almost never run, and cut out all loading.
