Big Shenmue feature on 1UP

[cube_b3]

I guess if Dreamcast is the 360 in terms of programming, then PS3 is the SEGA Saturn.

That would be the original Xbox in terms of philosiphy, the whole egg headed approach microsoft adopted.

Although in terms of Hardware Playstation 2 is the spiritual successor of Saturn, although by the end of it PS2 had evolved while Saturn didn't.

It would've saved me a lot of time had they added the answers of each game from the interview in this gameography.

This article is well, read it a million times already. The interview on the other hand is a gold mine of information that will be posted on wikipedia.

I really don't get why people are acting so  joyful. The stuff about Model 2 and Martin is well know, it did'nt really take a genius to work out poor sales of Shenmue II put pay to Part III, and all this interview shows me is how shoody the current SEGA board have treated this Genius;the man how singly handedly put SEGA onthe Map . To question much less drop Yu Suzuki's concepts makes me sick to the core, as is the fact that Yu Suzuki isn't the man at the top of the console and Arcade production, and sadly been allowed to drift to the sidelines

But that sadly is the Sammy SEGA we have now, sparks of magic, but too much focus on short term measures cost cuttings for profit.

I miss this SEGA

Even the music puts a smile on my face, much less the game

Some insights about his contributions were new to me, so I enjoyed them such as buying military tech, and making it economical. He is an artist who understand business, and it is nice to hear him talk about how business works.

So the interview was really enjoyable that said no body is downplaying the fact that his concepts were consistently rejected!

It was downright painful to read!!!

But we are happy just to see him again, also I am worried about his physical health, the last few years were so stressful that he had unconsciously blocked them and couldn't even remember DigitalRex!!!

Or it could just be that he's SEGA to the CORE, and will never openly talk SEGA down or any disagreements with the current board and so chooses not to revel such issues, there is nothing wrong with Yu's Memory

And yes I love too  interview with Yu Suzuki, but It's painful the lack of love from SEGA to Yu in that interview (Yu hadlt talks about SEGA positivity) . Yu should be saying I'm working on this and that for SEGA, not a bloody mobile phone game handed out to a 3rd party.

How more insulting can it get,  for the Genius that is Yu Suzuki ?

At the time I had multiple windows open, I accidentally posted the wrong stuff in the wrong window.

This message will self destruct after 24 hours (so we don't go offtopic)

The 1up feature isn't just about Shenmue, its about Yu Suzuki influence and a 2 part interview that in no way concentrates or focuses only on Shenmue;That's overlooking that Shigeru Miyamoto has nothing to do with SEGA or Shenmue, but is brought up in this debate and and inthe interview

Barry were refering to my deleted post, I accidentally posted Sturmwind's screenshots in this thread.
