I won't rant on about the awsomeness that is the shenmue world. it was so epic. the weather system and the changing of seasons, shopping at the little convinent store, buying soda at machines and collectables, playing mini games, making phone calls at the public phones. heck you could even check the weather forecast . and the music! wow! the music score was half the game. and then going back to your house to call it a day. it was like living in the quiant town of yokusuka, japan.
shenmue 3 isn't going to happen. could Yokuza be concidered a spritual successor to to the shenmue series? afterall the the main character dose resemble a more adult ryo hazuki. hehe.
I was reading about the yakuza series today and the acticle was claiming that much of the original shenmue team worked on the yakuza trilogy. I remember when the first game was in development is was being hype as a japanese sandbox game set in the world of organized crime. minus the car jacking and mindless shooting of gta3 of course.
I don't want any spoilers about this game but would a shenmue fan appreciate this game? I saw some pics and it sure reminds me of shemue. like shopping in stores, pub mini games and winning prizes etc. I've head some even descibe it as ps2's shemue. that may be overstating but still looks like a fun game.
do you have a house or apt that you return to? don't tell me and spoil anything just hint please
