    There were things like bike riding, more streets and locations, crappier graphics and I bet some parts of Bailu Village and Shenmue 3.

    i have only seen those on video, any more info apart form that?

    Yes, in fact I posted shit loads of stuff (pictures and videos ages ago) Also just for your information, Shenmue 1 was produced after Shenmue 2. So in fact Shenmue 1 is technically from a production point, Shenmue 2. It was in what was released as Shenmue 1 where Ryo could ride a bike. Textures were a bit more rough as well. You can see a nice video of it on my site over at www.segagagadomain.com Just click on the Movie Vault link at the top of the main page then select Dreamcast. You'll find some beta Shenmue footage there.

    Yep I noticed that, and thanks I saw that video when you posted it.
    It seems that they started porting the whole shenmue series from the saturn
    and shenmue 1 was the latest to port, but they had to improve it ( textures, graphics, bugs... ) and shenmue 2 kept as a beta until the development ( improvement ) for shenmue 1 finished, am I right on that?

    So Segagaga is yours eh?

    Would you sell some stuff?

    Pm sent, I'm looking forward to it.
    I have been researching a little about this and I may release an article about shenmue, and its prototypes, story, development costs, oddities, etc..
