ShenMue: The Beta [Dreamcast] RetroCore Special 02

[maelhazuki]

o melhor game do mundo

[dogeymon83]

I loved the story. And I loved how this game wasn't like every stupid anime RPG out there. IT WAS WILDLY DIFFERENT!!! Well, ok maybe not "wildly". But I haven't played any other game that feels like Shenmue. And I keep wondering what will happen in the third game.

[rumbazz]

3:21 seems like a dream sequence.

wwwoowowowow nunca habia visto esto gracias por subirlo <3

The DC kicked major butt, I preferred their games more at the time than either the PS2 or XBOX or GC, (Minus the GC's official brand mega busters and XBOX's Halo.) I could live with out the DVD player. When I bought the XBOX for both Shenmue 2 and Halo, I did not even bother getting the remote to play DVDs. If I want to watch movies I will just use my VCR! Anyway, only real complaint of the DC was it's controller. Only one thumbstick. Other than that I love it all! And the VMU! Need I say more?

PIRAT!

[MrSmittysmit]

I've never played this game but it looks pretty bad ass. I cant believe that SEGA is gone. look how good this game looked. Sony just fights dirty I guess.

[LessthanJake14]

@MrSmittysmit Sega still exist, just their hardware developing sector don't.

[nadnext]

great game

[justin123323]

yeah even today i feel the graphics in guilin are great and really capture the feeling of nature, i don't think any game since this has made me care about the plot and characters as much as this game did.

[111olbap]

Yup. Wonderful game.

[swan467]

Whats the music that started at 2:28 ?

[narcissusmusic]

What was that wierd place in the end?

[Wahrheit1987]

I think these are regions from the second game but without the proper textures and details...

[narcissusmusic]

Oh, okay. Thanks man :)

[aubba]

why they didn't work a little more on ryo's walking and running animation,,looks a little stiff :P

[Relugus]

Shenmue II is an amazing game. The texture detail is simply stunning, a huge leap on the previous Shenmue, and even giving the XBox a run for its money. Games like this and Skies of Arcadia showed the Dreamcast to be better at textures than the PS2 (which has become synonymous with bland blurry textures).

Sadly, just as the Dreamcast's technical abilities were finally being utilised, Sega pulled out of hardware, before we would ever get to see third generation Dreamcast titles.

[FOZproductionz]

yea what a shame dc is so much better than ps2

[hurkamur1]

@FOZproductionz you mean xbox? It never came out on ps2. You're right though the subtitled DC version was far superior to the shitty dubbing on the xbox version, though i own both.

[FOZproductionz]

unfortunatley xbox is the only way to play shenmue 2 without getting the European version of the game here in the USA , but i was talking about how ps2 killed Dreamcast it's really too bad

[nightsdreamparadox]

Definitely, Shenmue's dub was lacking. But no matter how good a dub is: as a principle, the original is superior for the simple fact that is IS the original.

[DukeNukem2020]

Only if DC had DVD support, then it would of had a fighting chance. I loved DC's library better.

[ThePickledTheif]

@DukeNukem2020

It was supposed to gain a DVD player add-on but they discontinued it before then.

[joliene88]

I mis my broken dreamcast,

thise was revolutionary back in the days

gta was still 2D in 2000

[acombia]

Even in 2008 ... the graphics are stunning!

[sandrofarinha]

if there was a way that all shenmue fans around the world could donate for a shenmue 3, and make it happen along with some company, that would be great

[3yE]

Actually, i guess if everyone who will buy Shenmue2 would pay say 20 EUR in advance, one could hire Yu and developers without production company overhead... If the requiered sum of money doesn't collect or Yu refuses, one could simply pay back people what they have payed in.

[3yE]

Ar sorry, i meant Shenmue3, not Shenmue2.

[yoguidude]

this is the best game ever along with metal gear solid

i just love it i hope they make part 3rd

that would be awesome i would pay whatever price for a copy!!

[ggdf0222]

Guys, there will be NO SHENMUE 3. Here is a quote from Adam Doree (The one that gave us all hope of shenmue 3)

"As for Shenmue, I would have to say at this stage, it is worth forgetting about. If all the fans get any rich relatives together and channel it though Dojo perhaps we could buy rights, hire Suzuki (he'd likely say yes) and independently make the game under license from Sega at no risk to them. That is the only way it will get made at this stage I think. "

[DukeNukem2020]

What is the music called at 3:16? Is it some remix of "Earth, Fire, and Sea"?

[jedsterg]

Damn the musics so great, especialy the one at 3.16. i would probably cry if shenmue 3 was announced, i want it so badly!!!!! damn SEGA.

[Chris66690]

WTF At 3:25

[TheRealCatGoneCrazy]

At 3:34, that random writing on the wall says "Ice Cream" in katakana. Not sure what the kanji at teh end is (I'm still learning) but probably 'store'. Just thought it was a funny thing to have written in an otherwise featureless area :)

[DukeNukem2020]

This game F'N ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the dramatic music. Sheesh Yu, get off your lazy ass and make the 3rd installment!! It's been almost 6 years!

[godzillaBR]

One of the best games ever.

[vashj1]

God I love the second song they start playing, does anyone know what its called!?

[godzillaBR]

I guess it's "earth and sea".

[vashj1]

Actually I found out the name, its the Swallow Flip Teaching (Xiuying's Theme).

I even uploaded it, really great song!!!

[hokman1]

wow where did those white buildings and high rises come from? that would be cool and actually resemble real HK. But the floor was kinda screwed. Do you actually have this beta disc?

[gale4ever]

Shenmue Rulz 1 of the best games EVER

i spend soo much time playing that and if i had the game i would play it again

[Tsukento]

Looks more like it's the Shenmue II beta, rather than Shenmue.

[r42or]

Wow.... Everyone knows that in the end was just areas that they used to test the games. Games always have places like that. They could atleast shown the places that were hackable but that wasn't textured. The possible Shenmue III leftovers ya know. (chech Shenmue Dojo if you don't know what I mean)

Still, I enjoyed watching since this is the best game ever created

[retread01]

That footage at the end with Ryo walking around the empty low res texture area is just a hack of Shenmue II. People found they could access areas on the disc you were never meant to see, lots of games have areas like this that were either for testing purposes during the making of the game or are actually areas designed to be seen only in the distance.

[LBQ2TS]

The really first GTA kind of ? In a way (: Haaa, the age when Sega was great, not like actually...

[r42or]

I'm not sure I get your grammar... But if you mean this is like GTA, you're wrong. VERY Wrong...

[LBQ2TS]

Thanx for my shitty grammar (english is not my first language), but I still think ShenMue was a kind of GTA (not about the story, about the gameplay). (:

[PersianSpice]

Sorry if I'm late by 4 months, but you're still wrong. It's not a matter of opinion here, pal. Don't ever compare a game like Shenmue to GTA. They're apples and oranges.

[LBQ2TS]

In my opinion, GTA and Shenmue are "simulator of real life" like "American Water Spaniel" and "Chien d'Artois" are dogs. Similar in the content, different in the form.

I excluded voluntarily "The Sims" series of this reasoning, because they are pointless video-games. ^^

[joemdesign]

Not sure if I'd call that footage "beta". It's a ton of promotional material and then some guy who's managed to hack his way outside the playing area. Either that or Shenmue II was supposed to be a weird take on 28 Days Later with the whole city deserted.

[TamashiiHiroka]

Well, almost all promotional materal for video games are beta footage. It really depends on how you look at it. You can't be sure weather it's hacked or not. Just saying.

[Anttiiiiiiiii85]

very nice footage!! I had shenmue 1 so I know what Im talking about :).
