Shenmue 1 & 2 Full beta movie

Awesome videos, thanks for sharing those. Really wish they would have left the bike in the final cut.

 

Thank you very much for the video Yakumo.

Maybe as you already notice that the Afterburner game in You Arcade is also in "What's Shenmue" demo.

 

AM2 did a brilliant job giving Shenmue a 128-bit lick of polish, but I still can't help feeling that some elements were carried over from the Saturn prototype without as much as a texture upgrade - the quality of certain objects just don't seem to be on the same level as others, such as the main characters who were obviously reworked to take full advantage of the extra polygonal horsepower Dreamcast allowed.

 

Sorry when I wrote that I was really tired and was typing fast (had to go to work the next day).

I was wondering if you were planing on possibly in the future comparing the Japanese version of shenmue 2 with the pal one.

 

Ah, I see. Sorry mate but I just don't have the time to do stuff like that any more :shrug:

Can u imagine how awesome it would look on 360?

 

Yakumo thanks for the videos there cool

 

What is it with everyone digging up the threads of old lately? I know a spam bot did it a few days ago, now everyone is at it.

Still better than making a new thread I guess.

 

as long as the thread is still relevant I guess it's fine raylyd, you're most welcome.

PMs are brilliant for this kind of post as well.

 

Yet it would be awesome for these beta buils to surface....

They have a lot of stuff that didnt quite make it to the retail version.

What's with all the hoarders with them? Not a single video, or screenshots...
Does anybody even have these builds?Were they even got sold on ebay or here?

 

Im downloading the vid now.it looks the nuts i would love to see the saturn beta surface

 

Guys, there's a much better quality version of that video on my site's server. That one on Google video was put there before I had my own place to stream high quality video. Just go to the Movie Vault, Dreamcast, Special and you'll find it in there. - www.segagagadomain.com

Me and other friends form ther communities have gathered quite a lot of money and we would be interested in buying some GDR betas, specially shenmue ones.

 

i seccond that.

 

of course we aren't talking about the original gd-r (that's for collectors..) but a good iso rip of them would be enough for the money...

 

Yeah, we want the data inside. and it doesnt have to be dc only, if the saturn version pops up we would be pleased as well.

Money is waiting....

 

SIgh.......any time the "unfinished" or edited Shenmue is brought up I get Angry.

Going as far back as project berkley that came with the Japanese VF3 it's very clear SHenmue's story is done yet sega is hourding it like some greedy
collector who buys 15 mint copies of radient silvergun with no intention of playing it......EVER.

And Yakuza follows the Shenmue Formula and has sold quite well.

WHY WHY WHY WHY?

 

Shenmue 2 on dc and even on saturn development was way beyond the "ending" of shenmue 2 you know that?
Hence the images of miao village and miao guang temple...
If only we could buy a proto build from the images shown on the shenmue premiere or GDC 2000....

 

It costs to much to make to return a profit. No big mystery as to why it got shit canned after Shenmue 2.
