Good, now the Chinese may also troll around for sailors like the rest of us.

Hehehe, I was just going to post a thread about this. I wonder what the game will be like? Shenmue Online is a strange idea imo. Everyone playing the game must be on a quest of revenging their fathers death.

...from cloned sperm from an evil sperm bank corporation. So every character has the same father!

I thought it would be nothing but having all the players go around town asking each other if they knew where sailors hang out.

Remove the clones and the sperm bank, keep the same father thing, and we could have Saint Seya online.

Wow, now real people can finally play the parts of the hookers and get some REAL action going on instead of Ryo Hazuki saying, "mmm no thanks".
Woo! I can't wait to get on line and travel to the virtual arcade and check out the arcade scene in China during the 80's, or blow my whole pay check on gumball machine toys. :P

Heh heh. Well, I guess that's better than having to ask about a black car on the day of THE INCIDENT.

Here's another link if you're so inclined... pictures included!
I'm kind of sad, I really wanted to play Shenmue 3... but Yu Suzuki is a god, so it's all good. You'll be able to ask about sailors in so many ways, it'll be infinitely deep.

Finally! News on Shenmue. However, from those screens it seems they are finally going full super natural on us. I have dreaded this since I saw some of that stuff inthe Shenmue video that came with VF3 in Japan. I accepted the stuff about the mirrors and stuff having certain powers, but I was hoping all the super natural stuff would happen in the very end. How many MMORPGs can Korea take? It seems there are dozens upon doznes popping up every year. I just wish they did Shenmue 3.

How's the whole Ryo thing work? Does one person per server get to be Ryo, or do you have to level up to be Ryo, or will there be a CPU-controlled Ryo wandering around asking players the same question over and over?

Ishmael, I think you need to drink some Dr. Pepper.
Why?
It's the taste of originality.

According to the Korean website, the lighting effects used in the martial art scenes are not supernatural mirror type powers but just ki/chi. The site also has pictures of some kids and a female assassin which makes me wonder if there is a character creation thing like in City of Heroes. It's also interesting to note how they named the media section "Joy the Shenmue." That's Korean style engrish for you.
The site goes on to say that Shenmue Online will feature various existing locations from Asia including China, Japan, Korea etc. They will use VF style combat system. The game will use cutscenes (like the other Shenmue games?) despite the fact that this is a MMORPG. More minigames. They specifically mention Space Harrier, After Burner, Hang On etc. There's even a game concept section that preaches Confucius style doctrines.
