Shenmue confirmed for ps2!?!?! From da man Yu Suzuki!?!!?!?

Personally I hope it goes to the Xbox, due to the HD being built in for all the Xbox owners. That is just my own opinion though and that quote isn\'t from Yu himself , so don\'t believe a thing until it is confirmed by him.

I am kinda at the point where I want pretty much every game to make use of the Xbox\'s HDD. That is why I hope the Xbox is a success so HDDs will be a standard next generation. HDDs or something equivalent.

Ive never played shenmue but it looks awesome, It would be great to see the series continued on ps2 or xbox, but i jsut hope they add english voices to the future shenmues

:: cough :: Shenmue 2  :: cough ::

Whoo-Hoo.... I just read that in my magazine also.... Good stuff..... Hope it happens, but I doubt....

Woohooo SHENMUE ON Ps2?!  It\'s gonna be so awesome.... but then again altered does have a point about Yu Suzuki having to confirm it.

I hope it happens.  I\'d like to see more Sega support on the PS2, and seeing a Shenmue game on the console would do it for me.

but it doesn\'t feel like a sequel. After playing through Shenmue so many times, I\'m used to Ryo, Nozomi, etc. voices. To play through the rest of the series w/o those voices wouldn\'t seem the same.

I\'m not sure if the PS2 would allow Shenmue to evolve beyond the Dreamcast incarnations in any aspect other than graphic. The game basically achieves most of what it initially set out to do on the DC. Without a substantially different technology (i.e HDD), the game will never likely reach levels of interactivity markedly higher than those of the now current incarnations.

So it\'s no big deal if they bring parts 1 & 2 to the PS2, but the series won\'t really evolve if it makes the console its home base.

Gohan - Nozomi isn\'t even in Shenmue II, d\'oh

kangu - thats about the best argument I have heard in a long time, take a nice long bow. The series doesn\'t have to change beyond the scope of what the DC games set out to be, PS2 can handle it.

but if we really want the series to evolve further, al la use of hard drive or modem, then X-Box would be the way to go. I have no bones if the game just stayed the same, but I think of the possibilites of using the hdd, it brings a smile to my face.

Exactly.

And the vibrant, breathing world of Shenmue lends itself perfectly to the use of the HDD. Just the possibilities with learning AI are endless. Something like the mascots in Black and White but on a much grander scale, invloving the hundreds of NPC\'s in a town or city.

That would be unparalleled.

Yippee! After waiting for the bus to get home I will wait for the bus AT home with my PS2 and a copy of Shenmue!

No really, I am excited
