So does Shenhua actually speak in the game, or did the fly Debora Rabbai (who's a reasonably successful voice actress) in from New York just to do the passport stuff? And then they recast her in 2? Jeez.
They finally came to the realization that there's content and mechanics they missed and maybe shouldve checked the Passport content first.So there's something magical about the final line of the ER being Mark telling them about buying food for the cat
Even a skim of the manual would have probably helped. All the mechanics are explained really well in it.They finally came to the realization that there's content and mechanics they missed and maybe shouldve checked the Passport content first.
Personally I think if they just explored the menus and buttons from the beginning (maybe checking out the manual) things wouldve gone way more smoothly for them.

Yeah, Alex just mentioned that she's in 2.
So, was she cut from the first game? It seems weird that she was featured in the advertising while not being in the game at all.
I think she speaks in the opening cinematic.
But isn't what she says in the prologue the same things she said in the passport disc ?
Super weird they had at least 2 highly detailed character models which were completely unused in the game.
What about Lan Di's? He's only in the intro.

(Shenmue 2 spoilers)
Heh funny how they comment on.XiuyingIt's interesting that she's in those promotional material videos considering there's nothing else from Shenmue 2. Was she meant to be in Shenmue originally? I mean Chen obviously gives you the letter to go see her, but I don't see why she would be in the first game otherwise unless they changed the story.
Edit: Wow she has a completely different Voice Actress too, hah.
Also remember that Shenmue was originally supposed to be 1 and 2 together in one game: an 8 disc game I think? Or was that Suzuki hyperbole? lol. But Sega needed a hit and Shenmue was what they were hoping on, so they had to split the game into two. The first part (Yokosuka) section wasn't supposed to be as long as it was supposed to be. Xiuying and Shenhua were in the title as well. Shenmue III was supposed to originally be Shenmue II. So when they made the passport disc, a high quality model of Xiuying and Shenhua were already available. Also, Shenhua would be among the first high quality models to be made anyways because she's the heroine of the series, along side Ryo. Shenmue has two protagonists in a way.
I'm not sure ifXiuying was meant to be in 1. There are scenes of her in Dobuita but maybe it was just a test. I think it's in What's Shenmue? I'm not sure. I think they had one prepared because remember that Shenmue 1 and 2 were originally supposed to be one game that was split into parts.
I imagine that model might have been either a holdover from before SEGA ordered the game to be split, or just a little easter egg/hint at the future.Yeah I'm aware they used to be one game. But as I stated, they had no other parts of Shenmue 2 displayed in any of those trailers so I can't see how that was the reason.
I could understand it if you saw other Shenmue 2 bits dotted around as well, but you just don't. She's just randomly in the trailer and on the disk for no real reason.

After allthey do kind of tease the Xiuying = Master Tao reveal using her theme during the Swallow Flip instruction.
Let's be honest, the zoom in on the forlift tires is the best part of all this.
between that, and the zoom in/single random color inversion of the forklift route map, I was rollin'.
*like 20 hours of game played*
"Rye-Oh"
...are you fucking kidding me.
So- who's watching Game Informer's Super Replay of Shenmue II?
Well it was a fun run. I think all us SShenmue fans enjoyed getting to embrace it once again, and allowed those who were curious abut the game to get a slight idea about what the game is.
Might as well post.
Shenmue 2 Trailer:

Every time I watch that trailer I'm reminded how in one year they managed to improve many aspects in regards to the first game, most notably models for Shenmue 2.
They finally came to the realization that there's content and mechanics they missed and maybe shouldve checked the Passport content first.
Personally I think if they just explored the menus and buttons from the beginning (maybe checking out the manual) things wouldve gone way more smoothly for them.
I have a feeling it'd be a while before shenmue 2 for GB. I'm watching the GT guys, in the last episode (which is a whopping 6 hours long I stopped at 3 for tonight will finish it off tomorrow).So I just finished watching every episode today.
That was fun.
Did Vinny suck at fighting or what though?
I started watching the gametrailers dudes playing Shenmue 2, but I don't know if I want to wait and see if the GB dudes end up doing another one.
Lucky Hit made me save scum the gambling so I would never have to do it again.
Lucky Hit save scum? Just go to the gamble den in Aberdeen and play Big or Small. You can get nearly 100k in ten minutes that way. That lasts the entire game. You can bet up to 1k HKS that way. Lucky Hit would be tedious for save scumming compared to that game.
They killed the kittyI meant to ask, what are those two "?" videos in the movie viewer? I'm guessing one is the bad ending.
And what was supposed to happen with the kitten? I fed it a bunch, and then one day the little girl said her mother agreed to take her in, and they didn't appear at the shrine anymore. Was that it?
