Kingbuzzo, that was when JCE was developing the game--even then if you saw real gameplay action sequences, it wasn't flaunted at all. Don't worry about those types of things--Suzuki just explained it away by saying he has always been interested in Chinese historical myths such as lots of things already mentioned in Shenmue--Online is just taking it t the magical level, ever so slightly. All that is if they even kept the magic for the new enigmatic Taiwanese developer.
Also, Kingofgrills, AM Plus is just Suzuki's new studio that is developing his new projects. AM2 is still around under a new president [actally a pretty big name and very skilled guy] |

If it works for anyone..would this be the time to 'log packages''(In Nikon speech). A server for some stuff would be kinda cool. I don't know anything about it though..just an idea. There is no reason to log packets. Shenmue Passport is basically a "more advanced" web browser. It has a coded interface on the disc itself, and connects to various scripts running on the internet to feed content to the Dreamcast. Such things as, text information for updates, rankings, and download content. The only thing I am concerned about, is if sega fixes the download content and rankings. The interactvity is the main service that Shenmue Passport provides. One such as myself could emulate this interactivity myself, as I am a webdesigner, and could create an experience just as good as Shenmue Passport for Shenmue. This is another reason why I think it is neat to hang onto web pages and archive them, but in most cases it is somewhat pointless. It is cool for nostalgia, but doesn't really serve a purpose besides this. The 2 #1 things here are, to take screenshots of the Shenmue Passport pages if you want to have the records of their existance, and also to hang around for download content. I saved the bin file, which I am assuming is the Shenmue Goodies file. I want to DL a finished VMU save and see if I can trade the cans for the char info. It is the download content that is always the real key. |

Glad to see a positive response to this. I dont think anything negative CAN come out of such great news.
Anyways, most of the news about this can be found here |

Yes, you are correct, the PAL version does now show the message, but with a different date the 25/02/06 This all looks really amazing, I an't help but feel that perhaps since Shenmue 3 is looking less likely, perhaps they are giving us what they can, Shenmue in all its former glory? What do you think? Anyones guess though I suppose at this point, but whatever...I like it

Maybe... Sega is going to release "Shenmue Collection" for the Playstation 2. Then create a pack in Shenmue Passport disc for the PS2, and then the PS2 and Dreamcast would all use the same Shenmue Passport? Logical... but not sure how likely this would be. | |||

I though it was said at some point that the PS2 would have struggled to cope with the shenmue games, not enough RAM or something? could be totally wrong but im sure that was spoken of when they originally brought out Shenmue 2 for the XBOX? I guess an XBOX collection would be more likely anyway as they did bring out Shenmue 2 for the platform.
Gotta admit Im in two minds over the original Shenmue coming out on another platform, it might prove to create more interest in the shenmue frnachise and possibly give shenmue 3 a chance, but the DC is getting so low on exclusive top titles, which is a real shame and Shenmue is about the best game left that still remains and exclusive, would be sad to lose it as an exclusive for the Dreamcast  |

lozz Im still baffled as to why its being updated in the first place. So if anything comes out of this i'll be pleasently suprised either way
If there was to be a rerelease i would imagine there would be some aestetick improvements on the first (it is ungly in places tbh  ) |

An xbox collection is not more likely, but in-fact impossible to include something like Shenmue Passpot. Shenmue Passport would never be able to run on the XBox because everything network related on the Xbox has to be integrated into "XBOX LIVE" and be all under microsofts control. Xbox Live is a standardized system, and MS has certain restrictions in place on how a developer integrates new features into their network. On top of this MS has no marketshare in japan, and Shenmue is a very well loved franchise in Japan. So by default the Playstation 2 makes more logical sense to release it, especially when the xbox platform is on the way out, and the 360's backwards compatibility is iffy. Sure maybe the games could get released on the xbox, but when you consider shenmue 2 was already released on the xbox as it is, I don't see why anyone would buy a Shenmue 1 + 2 collection if they already own 2. Since the only people that would are diehard fans, and that niche is not enough to justify a release. The one absolute here, is that Shenmue Passport would never happen on the Xbox and still be able to allow Dreamcast interactivity. The Playstation 2 is an open network, and Sega would be able to do whatever they want. Sega could release a Shenmue Collection on the Playstation 2 in all regions and have it just as functional as the Shenmue Passport on the Dreamcast. Shenmue could run on the Playstation 2 without any problems. And anyone arguing otherwise is like saying "well....when I make toast with my bread, I can put butter on it just fine....I highly doubt you could spread butter on your bread..." mcmonkey wrote:

Honestly my mention of some Shenmue port was completly speculation. Sega-AM2 could very well be updating Shenmue Passport just for Dreamcast users. This would be completly incredible, and if it does end up being the case, we need to send a thank you letter to Sega-AM2. And I'm not saying OC does some letter thing. I mean each person should write their own letters and send them to where-ever. Whether it be email, hand written, or carrier pigeon.
