Shenmue Gai updates thread
« on: February 18, 2011, 09:44:38 pm »
Will be keeping track of all of Shenmue Gai's updates here. Since I think we all (should) have a vested interest in this game's success, updates are a good indicator, as well as their steadiness and how often they are released. Seems like we get about two a month. In bold is the most recent update. Can we sticky this, please?

Game's been out on mobile, but we don't have a release date for Yahoo! Mobage Town yet. The list in the original post is all of the in game content that has been added, not to mention the maintenance and stuff they've been doing.

*important insofar as sales determining future Shenmue title
« Reply #3 on: February 20, 2011, 09:50:07 pm »
This might be the most important* Sega game I know practically nothing about.  Not that I didn't know of its existence, of course.  I'm just left in the dark with a few things.   :|

Supa, perhaps you could explain it to me?  Plot, gameplay, pertinent info?

No player information yet, supposedly we'll get some information around March...if I hear correctly.

And Essay, do you mean Gai or the Shenmue series in general?

It was an affront to the PS2 lauch. If only it worked...

Gai.  I thought it was called "Shenmue City" or something...  :?:
Again, I'm out of the loop on that particular game.

I'm pretty familiar with Shenmue series on its own.  Owned and loved the first one.  Never played the second, but I followed up on the events.

You really should play Shenmue II. Well worth your time.

Shenmue Gai is the official title of the game in Japan, and Shenmue City is a wrong English translation. Suzuki said in an interview that there are plans to move the game to the western markets, and its tentative title was Shenmue World. These plans are not concrete and have not been elaborated on at all.

Shenmue Gai is basically a text adventure game developed by Yu Suzuki's new studio YS Net out now in Japan on mobile platforms, and will soon (no release date yet) be coming to Yahoo!'s Mobage Town service. SunSoft is publishing the game, and SEGA is I guess supervising it, and DeNA, another company, I think is co publishing? Not sure how what their job is in the project.

Gai starts off in the world of Shenmue I, features quests from the original Shenmue I, as well as stories that were cut from the Dreamcast original, for whatever reason. It is also regularly updated with limited events and capsule toys, which is what makes money for the game. In interviews, Yu - san has said that if the game is successful, we will see a continuation into the world of Shenmue II. I'm guessing we won't see that until after the game is released on Mobage Town.

Still maintain Shenmue 2 should have gone to PS2...
« Reply #8 on: February 21, 2011, 08:34:10 pm »
Got'cha.  Thank you for the explanation--makes a lot more sense now.
Glad to hear it might be coming to western markets; I'm actually surprised that they didn't take that option off the table from the beginning.

(Also happy to see that Sega still has some role in the game's development.)

Yup, SEGA capsule toys were recently added in one of the updates, so they at least have a minimal interest in it.

believe me, Sega is very interested in this project, they're just not prepared to shell out the cash for it alone which is why the game has all these multiple partners involved. After what happened with SHENMUE ONLINE i don't blame them.

On another note has anyone seen any of the prom art that goes with this game? its good that they are still keeping in the style of the first two cgi model promo/cover art.
