Now you shall become th3 N00b! :smt042 Shenmue is the story of a guy whos father is killed right in front of his eyes by a chinese dude. The game is set in the 80s japan, and you start a real-time (which means you have to work, eat and stuff, like in real life) quest to find the truth.
put simply no... its set in the 1980s I think of the game as a adventure Role playing game with elements of the fighting genre. The game is so broad that classification is hard. Simply put this game is one of the defining moments in my gaming past (along with 'the new zealand story' and 'goldeneye' ). If you havent played any of the series I strongly urge you to do so
ill say, considering dreamcast was full of noting but arcade ports,i know other geners were there as well on dc, but there werent many adventure game on it so shenmue was pretty special on it, even though the first was short while the second was a bit longer, they were some of the best games i played.
I remember Adam Doree from the "old times" of SegaWeb, when I watched every day that site and DC IGN for any news about Dreamcast. As GaijinPunch says "I want to believe" too. I'll wait an official announcement to show my joy, I really hope Shenmue III is coming, the hardware does not matter, I'll buy the console where this saga continues (perhaps it will be multiplatform)
