I heard Shenmue 2 was going to PS2 as well but it would not look as good,
i heard only Xbox could do it properly.
It should only go to Next Gen that is PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, this game was allways about the graphics and it matters.
I see the PS3 version as the best for it,
here are just some of the reasons it should go to PS3.
It can load much quicker, as they said Granturismo HD can load quickly using the HDD, so so can Shenmue 3.
PS3 also reads quicker equaling faster times.
They say PS3 is twice as powerful as 360.
It can do 1080p, they also say it can upscale 720p to 1080p even if Shenmue 3 gets done in 720p.
It uses HDMI which is a interface made for HD, it has quicker response times through a digital connection that beats Component.
HDMI also has better sound.
PS3 uses Blu-Ray which holds more than 5 times than what Xbox 360 holds.
These disks can also hold HD video on them, this is perfect for a behind the scenes look into all of Shenmue, all on 1 disk.
Shenmue 1 and 2 had chapters 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
It seems like some of the chapters were shortened due to the Dreamcast
stopping.
Shenmue 2 was released 6 months after the last Dreamcast was made causing Sega to release Shenmue 2 in a shortened version as the DC was over.
It was also supposed to have a chapter 2 and lots of cut fight scenes.
So Shenmue 3 is supposed to be 3 times bigger than 1 and 2 put together, this is what having all 16 chapters could mean.
Chapter 1 took 12 hours to finish, 2 took 13 hours, so allready we have 25 hours of gameplay, also you could do them over 4 times with different outcomes.
That' s a total of 100 hours, also add in the other stuff to do, even more gameplay time.
So Shenmue 3 is supposed to be 3 times 1 and 2 put together being atleast tougher to finish, larger longer levels, going over the same places just probably doing different things.
Shenmue was originally made to have a inventory which crosses over all of your stuff even through to Shenmue 3 as it' s pretty obvious if you' ve ever played the game.
As Shenmue 3 was supposed to be on DC, but Dreamcast got stopped.
So Shenmue 3 now goes to Next GEN.
So in total Shenmue 3 is supposed to cover 40 GB plus space,
and this is without extras.
I wouldn' t be surprised if it goes over 50 gb with the making of, pictures, Premiere video, extended, deleted scenes and much more like the Beta of Shenmue 2, which looks much different.
Oh and lets not forget the Saturn version of the game, they' ll hopefully give us as much as was done of the Saturn version.
Who really knows how much was done on the saturn version as even the Saturn version went further than Shenmue 1 and 2 on DC did.
Both in English and Japanese.
Better graphics re doing all of the chapters, better sound,
this game can easily pass 50 gb of data space.
They even had a Daytona USA song in Shenmue, this was found by people at Shenmue Dojo.
So in total Shenmue 3 should have 300 plus all new hours of gameplay and the 100 plus shenmue 1 and 2 hours put together all re done.
Pretty cool indeed.
Incase you have indeed eaten a fur ball induce vomiting immediately.
Don' t be restrictive when it comes to pulling yourself


out of a Coma,
revive ftw.
Shenmue 3 ftw

I think your Dreamin, But it never hurts to dream.

*laughs at the idiot*

Ps3 is not Twice as Powerfull as 360. Thats your biggest mistake in your above post.

PS3 also reads quicker equaling faster times

Wrong

They say PS3 is twice as powerful as 360.

Wrong

Wrong

Laughable

Seriously laughable

The Xbox wasn' t the only one capable of running Shenmue, let' s not forget that the GameCube is a powerful piece of hardware as well.. Look at Resident Evil 4 with the amount of detailed characters it has running around onscreen, the detailed, well-lit and well-textured environments.

None of that is wrong HDMI is digital with quicker response times with Audio and Video, i did say they say PS3 is twice as powerful.
Blu-Ray reads more data at once it can load what 360 would take 10 seconds to do in 3 seconds see the Sony Press Conference as they proved this.
They were using the HDD to make it load faster, even though the 360 can do the same technique with the HDD, it still can' t read as much data as PS3 can.
I do think it is twice as powerful, i bet we' ll see this down the line.
Btw i get all machines on launch day, i like them all,
i just prefer PS3 to them all.
Sony should be rewarded for making a console better than the others.
Blu-Ray holds 54 gb.
DVD-9 holds 9 gb,
Here' s a link to HDMI
Http://hdmi.com/channel/why_hdmi.asp
it does it all better even with uncompressed Audio.
DVD-9 holds 9 gb.
Ever hear about that 4 disk 360 game coming that was speculated to be Oblivion or Halo 3, clearly it isn' t Halo 3 or Oblivion.
It just has to be Shenmue 3.
What else would it be?
Playboy Mansion cum until your num?
The reason they make a 54 gb disk is so it gets filled up.
What better game than Shenmue 3?
Say they announce Shenmue 3 at the end of 2006, i doubt they will just release it.
My guess is they will continue to make it with more music, levels, then release it a year after.

Blu-Ray holds 54 gb.

Firstly dude, while Sony WILL be pushing 2 disc sizes for Blu-Ray, it' s already been confirmed that they' ll only initially produce single layer (25GB) discs due to production costs. Oh, and they don' t hold 54GB you moron, whwre the f**k did you read that?! Blu-Ray can hold 25GB per layer and HD-DVD can hold 15GB. The kicker is that while HD-DVD won' t be used for games, there will be dial layer (30GB) HD-DVD' s on the market before dual layer (50GB) Blu-Ray discs.

None of that is wrong HDMI is digital with quicker response times, i did also say they say PS3 is twice as powerful.

I didn' t dispute that HDMI is digital or that it has quicker response times (?) you f**king idiot.

Also, i don' t know who " they" are, so perhaps you' ll be good enough to provide a link to something official that says PS3 is twice as powerful than 360. Unless ofcourse you' re talking about Sony. In that case, it would have been better not to type it at all because it will only invite abuse. Sony simply made their outrageously annoying claims in an effort to keep people form buying 360.

Ever hear about that 4 disk 360 game coming that was speculated to be Oblivion or Halo 3, clearly it isn' t Halo 3 or Oblivion.

Yeah, ...it was Enchant Arm. Then when they compressed everything it fit on one disc.

Since Oblivion fit on 1 disc with nearly 4GB left over, i' d like to know what you think the extra sp[ace will be used for.

Ps3 is not Twice as Powerfull as 360. Thats your biggest mistake in your above post.

Oh yes it is.

360 can only bake discs in about... hhmmm 10 minutes, and PS3 does it in
5 minutes...

C' mon, PS3 twice as powerful as 360?

That' s like saying Sony had one of the best showings at E3...

IT' S BULL SH!T

The Xbox wasn' t the only one capable of running Shenmue, let' s not forget that the GameCube is a powerful piece of hardware as well..

Didn' t Microsoft beg for it to be an exclusive, because they thought it would help
them in Japan? Clearly, they didn' t research that the Japanese ARE capable
of stabbing each other in the back.

I think Shenmue 2 being on X-box was also part in parcel of Peter Moore moving
from Sega to Microsoft, you know how he always refers to them as:

" My old friends at Sega.."



Curiously looks like:



Or maybe thats just me... It is?

Ok.

Ming?

Ming?

Er.... yeah?!

*Runs away as fast as he can..*

No it wasn' t Enchant Arms it' s still a mystery.
No it hasn' t, once again go to son' y press Conference where they say The Getaway needs all of Blu-Ray to achieve this level of realism.
Infact the 54 gb ones are cheaper to make as it' s dual layer.
They have never said such a thing, whichever game supports 54 gb they will release it on it.
It' s not so far fetched anymore there will be 200 gb ones too.
This will become all common ground soon.
Wtf you %#@$% j/k, are you living under a rock? HD-DVD on 360 is only for movies, Blu Ray can do both all in true HD which really is only possible hence HDMI which = High Definition Multi Media Interface.
Here' s another link you non believing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumquat
j/k,

oh and the on topic one
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/playstation-three1.aspx
Infact 360 uses even less than 9gb i was stating an example.
Your obviously a 360 fan boy.
I' m just stating opinions which do have strong backing.
You should of made it clearer as to if you were talking about HDMI or the disk read speeds.
Wtf is ming?
Is it like a pong game or something?
I do enjoy twister i hope they make a Wii version where we all get to Wii.
Twister Wii only for a Wii.

I can' t wait until we have all three consoles out on the market so we can see the truth about them. Do anyone here even play videogames any more or do you just speculate about the hardware?

Do anyone here even play videogames any more or do you just speculate about the hardware?

B.

Wtf is ming?

You' re serious?

You never watched Flash Gordon?!

Do anyone here even play videogames any more or do you just speculate about the hardware?

What are forums for again?

Messing with other peoples minds, what else?
Listening to worthless hype, fanboyism, false rumours, stupid speculation, telling bad sex jokes.

Ah!

*passes Tiz more fobidden fruit...*

Free fruit salad for all i get to pick the syrup though.
Last time i had to have chocolate and tomato that did not go so well, luckily i induced vomiting, it just tasted sucky.
Just checked Flash ended up in prn so i looked at prn a bit, then i typed in Flash Gordon.
Is that a 1980 movie?
I' ve never seen it.
Is it good?
Did i make everyone fall asleep?
Oh man not again, OMG i just bored myself to sleep.
ZzzzzzzzZZzzzz.

Tired of people complaining DVD9 isn' t enough and you need bluray.

I want to know which game is bigger then oblivion,and then i want to know why you can' t use 2 dvd' s if it req more then 9gb.




btw just saw this, " No it wasn' t Enchant Arms it' s still a mystery. "

IT WAS ENCHANT ARM CREATORS.
They said,we probably gonna need 2 dvd' s to fit our epic RPG to the next genreation xbopx360 console,this i read in IGN.
However when they dev and didn' t use CGI they realised it wasn' t a problemn to fit a 50 hour main quest epic rpg into 9gb of space,and didn' t need a 2nd DVD.

Remember that almost every big ps2 game had to duplicate its files,with 360 you can compress them.and ofc doesnt need to duplicate,and if you skip HD CGI,basically movies,and have real time cutscenes as HALO had,you never need anythingm ore then 9gb.

Now before someone says,yeah but FF has so beautiful movies and realtime cutscenes sux...

LOOK AT METAL GEAR SOLID 4,all you seen has been real time cutscenes.
