General Gaming Discussion / Re: SEGAbits Shenmue III Hype Train! Update: Funded but lets go further!

« Last post by Mystic Monkey on December 13, 2025, 11:18:58 am »

Acquiring Sega rights would be costly so most likely YS net won't do it to minimize the budget.

It still weird not seeing Sega-representation in a Shenmue game.

They did not deny that Shenmue IV was in the work though, they only said the trailer wasn't from them.

True, but how long to wait? Shenmue III didn't come out until 18 years after Shenmue II.

Yep. Direct download.

That's cool. And is Dreams of Saturn 3.0 a sequel to past DoS games, or is it the development number of it? As in it's the one whole game.

So the consequences are for content creators? Not for users who only watch videos?

The only consequence I see for those who only watch videos, is they may find a harder time finding more specific the videos they want to watch. But if the viewer knows the name of the video or the channel, they will have an easier time finding it.

Celebration of a special day, probably. But not Christmas, since most likely they don't have Jesus Christ and Santa Claus.

True. But we have other winter festivals that are not rooted in Christianity. In fact, lots of Christmas traditions were originally Yule in origins. Santa Claus could've originally been a figure represented by Odin.

Every country has their silly things to ban. Even your country treated childhood prank of ringing a doorbell then running away and shaking a rug in the street as criminal offenses under the 1839 Metropolitan Police Act.

True. I'm reminded of the Salmon Act of 1986. I wouldn't be surprised if the term "fishy" originated from that.

Yeah, for example: Genshin Impact. But that game has insane budget so it's depended on the budget too.

Is it true that during the TGA that year, they offered a bonus to their players if they won?

I was like that too until I paid the price heavily. I've learned to control my mind since then and it took years.

How did you start?

The only "way" I found rather recently was something called "therapeutic surrendering", though it is still difficult for me to practice.

It's basically just accepting I can't silence the unwanted thoughts and just have to put up with them until I get over it.

May be because they kinda won the war.
Most American kids couldn't locate other countries in the maps though.
They don't even know that Bali island is part of Indonesia.

Most Americans can't locate other countries on the map, but can point to the ones they've beaten in World War 2.

They didn't meet the US strict TV Show guidelines so they couldn't be ported in TV (but rental VHS version existed though the interest were low).
It's not just happened with imported shows though, even US series like COPS, Thundarr the Barbarian, and Pirates of Dark Water had to changed and toned down to the point that it loses the charm.
Still they at least allowed "Ninja" theme, unlike UK, who changed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.

I forgot about TMHT, but yeah, I guess you're right. Funny how censorship changes over time.

“Interrupting gameplay for visual flair is unacceptable in a fighting game.”
New VIRTUA FIGTHER Project producer talks about the title’s pursuit of “reality, not realism”

So, he means like, he wanted the fighting to look realistic, and the punches and kickes to look weighted, that rely on flashy effects and such?

I've played most games that I wanna play on SEGA consoles so right now my bucket list are homebrew games (new games but made for SEGA consoles) like Earthion (SEGA Mega Drive), Frontier Force (SEGA Master System), or Gladmort (Dreamcast)

That's fair. They look like good choices.
