http://www.the-magicbox.com/0508/game050823a.shtml It certainly reminds me of Shenmue. Hopefully what there getting at with the "GTA like resemblence" is that it will have the wide open seamless world of GTA and not that it will just be a clone. Imagine GTA with the interiors and interactivty of Shenmue.
It looks like maybe it used the Shenue engine too - they may as well seeing as it cost them so much to make
damnit why cant they just make shenmue 3 already and skip this game, i mean microsoft is looking for japanese excluisive stuff at the moment, im sure theyd be willing to shill out a little dough even though shenmue 2 didnt do good at all on xbox.
Would be nice to see Shenmue 3. However this is looking pretty sharp as well. Anyways, if Shenmue 3 does make it to 360 courtesy of Microsoft, that probably would be one of their first good decisions in a long while.
That guy is a complete rip-off of tommy vercetti :smt082 Honestly, I think this is a GTA made for the japanese market. Both GTA3 and VC didnt do well in japan, and the main reason was that most japanese couldnt understand most of the jokes, plus their mafia world is pretty diferent to the western one. I doubt we`ll see this outside of japan PS: shenmue didnt do well with the casuals, so I really doubt that another one would hit the spot............
i loved shenmue. :do you remeber the black car the night it rained: sereiously the japanese guy with dreads it was awsome i played it for hours.. I think i have shenmue 2 for dc and xbox somewhere but i don't think i ever beat it the hot chinese girl got on my nerves driving her motorcycle around.
..have a bit of taste? :smt043 GTA for japan uh? well, it seems interesting anyway. And impressive, more impressive than what you see on the next gens at the time anyway.
