Random Shenmue Thoughts

And a genuine question which i would love to know the answer to but at the same time i don’t want to cause a stir because ultimately we’re getting Shenmue III and that’s all that matters but was there ever any proof to back up the claims of the the infamous 2005 Kikizo article or did Adam Doree purely post the article based on hearsay?

He said that he had a source. Based on the fact that he leaked quite a lot in terms of Sega news (Virtua Fighter 5 coming to Xbox, Nights for Wii) I'd say he had a decent source. If you go back and read the article now realising it never happened it's not quite as cut and dry as everyone thought. It say's that Sega wanted one of the big 3 to buy the exclusive rights to fund it and that was the same thing we heard for years afterwards. The only reason it's happening now is because Sony helped.
 
Something I never quite figured out...what was the point of the "training" menu in Shenmue I at Ryo's house in Shenmue I? Would it train leg moves more than others if you selected leg moves?
 
When Ryo sleeps his moves improve slightly. So if it is on all then all are improved. If it's legs then it is legs.

What a lot of people who wanted to fully level his moves did was have the focus on throws as they are the hardest to train (beat up Fuku-san with throws when they could) and train the rest during the game.
 
No wonder Fuku-san is so invested in Virtua Fighter. In his day-to-day life he's constantly getting thrown around like a ragdoll by Ryo.
 
When I bought the game, based on the detail of the Hazuki Residence/Dojo alone, I figured the entire game took place in the residence/dojo/yard. I was astonished when I was first let out into Yamanose and the true scope of this game presented itself to me.

Just got an idea for a mod for the HD ports: How about a mod that emulates the dreamcast drive sounds during gameplay or while loading?

Should easily be doable with the right recordings of an actual disc drive. I'm no expert though :)

And VMU beeps when learning a new move!
 
How about a special "Play as Goro" mode where all you do is walk around the warehouse and try to talk to a certain amount of people before the lunch whistle.
 
Hi everybody! I've created a thread in the off-topic session here, where I was discussing the possibility of having an "internacional" reserved area on the boards, for all those who can't speak english have space to share information and show their love for Shenmue like us. ( Off course it will initially start with english-speakers )
For my great surprise, Peter agreed in let me do this poll and ask everybody if is the desire of all members in having such space here.

So I kindly ask everybody to vote and leave a comment on the thread. The link is below! Thank you!

Taken care of it for you. If you click 'Insert' > 'Media' and paste the URL of the tweet in there, it should come out a lot cleaner.
