How do u mean cut all ties?


And maybe we do get British developed games earlier but come on how many of them r there?????????

So considering i would say that the USA is considerably better.

why don\'t SEGA and SQUARESOFT get together and release a kick @ss RPG.


I just thought I would post this. It seems relevant to you statement about Sony and sega. CLICK I know it is from IGNCube, but it is still relevant.

BTW, UK has almost all of the cool tech toys. We yanks don\'t get much of anything until it is already a smash in the UK.(I was comparing some UK cell phones to my own and got pissed at how crappy my phone was compared to the UK one, and I have a $250 dollar phone mind you.)

I don\'t know if it will get ported or the sequel. But, I wouldn\'t be suprised to see the future sequels on the PS2. Remember, Shenmue is 16 chapters long, and if the Dc is dead after this year, that would leave alot of chapters un-finished.

Hopefully they will release the final chapters on the playstation 2.

But dont count out gamecube or xbox~

You know what?  I own a DC and I was so hyped up about this game so when I went out and rented it I thought it was going to be one of the best games ever made.  Boy was I wrong.  Sure it\'s all oppinion but this game didn\'t even come close to what I was expecting.

On the positive it was very NEW in design and the fighting at times was quite enjoyable.  Oh I can\'t forget how much fun I had at the arcade room they had in the game.  Fabulous graphics!!!  Great music!!!

On the negative there was not enough fighting.  And the biggest part of all is that it was too dang boring.  Sure it got better at some points but then it just got boring again.  In fact the first like hour of gameplay was almost umbearable.  I almost returned the game to get a different one.  Fortunately I didn\'t because it did get better, but still, this is probably one of the most BORING games I have ever played.

So my answer is that I could care less if this game is ported to the PS2.  Hey, with a game with so much hype it will probably help Sega out a lot to port the game to PS2, but the resources spent to do that could\'ve been used on newer projects.  I guess they probably should.  I really hope Sega gets out of debt one of these days and finally starts making profits.  They deserve it...

That would totaly reek of awesomeness if it was ported to PS2!

Boy you guys really don\'t keep up with the news.

In a recent interview with Bellfield, Sega confirmed that Shenmue 2 was going to be a DC exclusive - which doesn\'t bode well for the orignal making it over.  

Check dc.ign.com for the news, it was confirmed along with the Phanstasy Star Online 2 sequel for the DC.

If you really want to play it, just pick up a DC for $99 and enjoy all the other awesome games on it.  Why pay $50 for a PS2 version of Crazy Taxi, when you can get the DC version for $12 used, or even better, wait for Crazy Taxi 2 on the DC, which will cost less then the PS2 port of the year old DC game.

There are tons of benefits to owning a DC, I wonder why there are so many that still haven\'t gotten it.
