    Random Gaming Thoughts

    I love Snatcher, it's definitely a big favourite of mine, and much to my shame as a huge MGS fan I've never plated Metal Gear 2 though I don't doubt it's amazing. I still think to a large extent it just comes down to preference though, I certainly wouldn't say his later day work with Death...

    Why do i see yakuza fans spreading hate on people who like shenmue 3?

    Yeah I think Shenmue sometimes got a bit of stick for supposedly not being as interactive or dynamic as people imagined it would be or as some other games were. But in its own way it is incredibly interactive. It's all the little things in Shenmue that add up to make it more than the sum of its...

    Random Gaming Thoughts

    I think both situations can lead to great results in their own ways. One of the things I love about Death Stranding, and something that I think makes it so unusual these days, is how utterly unrestrained and bonkers it is. There surely can't be many, if any, other game developers out there who...

    ININ Games is the New Publisher of Shenmue 3

    I know it's hypothetical, but I find the prospect of a more action oriented Yakuza-ized Shenmue game really jarring. I know the two series get compared a lot by virtue of them both being open worldy, set in Japan and Sega games, but if you take away these three elements the franchises have...

    ININ Games is the New Publisher of Shenmue 3

    Man, Tosh, I can understand how passionate you are about the series and it seeing a conclusion, we all love Shenmue, but you need to get some perspective on this. The recent news with ININ and a potential re-release is awesome and very welcome, certainly cause for a little optimism in my book...

    When did Niaowu disappoint?

    I like Niaowu. Not as much as I adore S1's Yokosuka or S2's Hong Kong, but overall I think they did a great job of recreating the Shenmue feel considering the budget constraints, the different technology, and presumably the lack of the vast majority of the personnel who made the original games...

    Random Thoughts

    Any older forumites still knocking about this place? Man, I don't recognise many posters names at all. It's a been years since I've checked here. I guess most the old regulars have moved on? Still I'm glad this place is still here, there's a lot of history. Lets Get Sweaty, Ginfinners (or...

    Kickstarter Project Update #103: A message from Ys Net, Epic Games & Deep Silver

    Fair play, but I guess I just think if it's a timed exclusive (and I know we don't know how long that time will be) it's not a major problem in my books. If Epic is truly beyond the pale for someone for whatever reason, then if they sit tight they should still get to play it. And I get that...

    Kickstarter Project Update #103: A message from Ys Net, Epic Games & Deep Silver

    May I be completely honest? Ok, I understand this epic store exclusivity thing is hardly the smoothest move and seems a tad ill considered, and I'm not a PC gamer so maybe there's some extra significance I'm not understanding here, but jesus christ it does seem like a lot of people are making a...

    EDGE Magazine Cover Story: Shenmue 3

    I want to go in blind myself, so I'm not reading the article, but I'm incredibly happy and excited to see a real bonafide Shenmue 3 Edge cover. I've been an Edge reader for half my life and have dreamt of a Shenmue 3 Edge cover for about as long. Shenmue 3 feels even more real now, and very...

    Shenmue Plants

    I've always had rather strong feelings about the plants of Shenmue myself. Glad to see someone do this.
