Ryo Goes to the Moon (Shenmue II Out of Bounds Hack)

[Switch]

A comment that caught my interest from d3t in an interview about their Shenmue I & II re-release was that the moon in Shenmue 2 is a real, three-dimensional object.

I took Ryo up above the clouds to check it out for himself, using a hack to let Ryo move around freely.

And he can indeed run right up to the moon and even see it moving past him!

Awesome post as usual.

It’s almost become cliche to say at this point but the games attention to detail never fails to impress.

Thanks! It's true, it's almost like it would be a shock to find places where corners are cut.

That's just crazy.

The attention to detail even by todays standards. Blows me away.
