Seriously this is the greatest extra in any game ever I will now most certainly be buying this game

At least it shows they havent forgotten about him, the very fact that he is not a dead character gives us some indication that the Shenmue franchise is still in the minds of sega devs.

:lol: WIN!

Reminds me of Snake in Brawl. So out of place.

PLEASE let this be SEGAs way of teasing me with the possibility of Shenmue 3! Rather than just a cash in aimed at us Shenmue fans, or both.

Maybe because I have never played Shenmue (other than the Shenmue 2 demo on the Xbox), but I thought he looked pretty cool in that game. They didn't try to kidify him.

I know its a shame, I loved SHenmue and JSR and they are both left inthe dust :(

Sad that one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite series is reduced to this.TheSystemLord1

it's a shame how Sega kept ignoring shenmue for that long, finally it began it surface again.

Just bring back Hang-on already. I'm not to found of Sumo Digital. They aren't making this are they? Also, Big the Cat needs to GTFO. Who asked for that guy?sonicthemegaman

I wouldn't worry. Even though Sega Superstars Tennis was a dud, Sumo Digital still have made plenty of good games.

Edit: Well... okay, a couple of good games, but they were responsible for OutRun 2 so I trust them to come up with the decent arcade style driving game.

Its not throwing us a bone... its a slap in the face and a swift kick in the butt

I bought the Shenmue games and fullheartedly agreed with all the criticism it recieved. Despite that I believe the series had a huge amount of potential of someone actually did it right! So I look forward to a sequel if SEGA could get their head out of their rears, oh and SEGA, HELLO!! Streets if Rage IV anytime please!!!

How shameful for Ryo...

Shenmue lovers are'nt being thrown a bone..... They're being taken advantage of.

It's a rip to be honest, I'm not gonna over dramatise the issue but it's like they've actually exhumed Ryo Hazuki's still warm corpse, propped it up, stapled it to a motorbike and forced it to flop about whilst driving against cuddly Sega characters.

I hate to be a kill-joy but I played through Shemue 1 & 2 almost immediately after each other on the DC (borrowed them off a mate) once finished I was like "And then...?"

That was about... ages ago. I'd still buy Shemue 3 should it ever arise but it's no clever marketing ploy that they've left it so long. It's not coming.

Do what I did, replace it with something just as fulfilling in your life. I used crack to substitute; it's not everyone's cup of tea but it keeps the Shenmue shakes at bay...

Shenmue fans need to discover Yakuza.

I did consider getting into the Yakuza series, but that crack is damn addictive...

[QUOTE="Rob-Belmont"][QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"] LOL @ Sega caring about fans If Sega even remotely cared about fans, they wouldn't make games like Sonic 06 and Sega Superstar Tennisawdxfv

Shenmue fans need to discover Yakuza.

foxhound_fox

TBH I think Sega is doing that with Yakuza 3. Let it go guys. Yakuza is the closest thing to the Shenmue series today.

sega is mindbloggling.

we see games like bayonetta and valkyria chronicles under their banner like once a year, maybe. everything else they seem involved in is pure dross.

Shenmue fans need to discover Yakuza.

As a Shenmue fan, I followed that logic and bought Yakuza for the PS2. I'm only at the start but it's a pile of poo compared to Shenmue. Yeah, Shenmue isn't perfect in some aspects but it does others flawlessly and as an experience it is the BEST game I have ever played. In my opinion anyways.

I always thought Heavy Rain would be the new Shenmue, sooo.. well, there really isn't a point to me saying this in regards to the topic I just think Heavy Rain is the new Shenmue.
