Rather than spreading my wishes of Happy New Year 2010 with no originality. I'd take this opportunity to wish the best of birthdays to the license that some consider the best adventure game of all time.
Shenmue for those who do not know (really must be a hermit for AC but good) proposed to slip into the role of Ryo Hazuki in Japan late 80's to the Christmas period. His father has been murdered before his eyes in the dojo of the family residence by the infamous Lan Di, a Chinese martial arts master.
Ryo's quest is driven by revenge and the desire to understand why all this happened.
progression of the player in this universe is to explore freely Dobuita, the district where Ryo lives in the suburbs of Yokosuka to conduct our investigation, it starts with the neighborhood of Hazuki. It attaches to a kitten, we meet the lovely Nozomi, we will spend money in the arcade machines or figurines. And then the magic happens instantly! Such freedom of action in a 3D world was a first! In addition, the player immediately identified with Ryo, a hero with a human dimension. One enters his life, his privacy., Even his dreams. It's simple, once the first disk inserted in its Dreamcast Shenmue, Ryo Hazuki is IS.
immersion in this venture is strengthened (sublimated) by the fact that we have to take account of the watch is worn on the wrist. And yes! Ryo is a young 18 who lives with his aunt and brother, it's bedtime at 23h pétante. Conisdération take the opening and closing stores too, appointments made by some people and then go to work to afford a boat ticket to go kick the ass of Lan Di to Hong Kong, city that will be the scene of Shenmue II released 2 years later, in 2001.
The Shenmue is the centerpiece of the firm SEGA. On his image: sublime, innovative, eternal, but sadly misunderstood. Indeed, despite all its qualities Shenmue was a financial disaster for the firm to the blue hedgehog. Fills obnoxious, the game that was supposed to trace sales of the Dreamcast was eventually ruined the whole society does not develop since most console game And to drive the nail, Shenmue is unfinished Shenmue 3 shall certainly never see the day if my heart tells me otherwise.
This 10th anniversary is also synonymous with hope. We are already hearing talk of a possible adaptation of the first Shenmue on a console today, which if successful could revive the machine.
It's nice to dream ^ ^.
again happy birthday pal Shenmue and long life to you (for a little brother soon perhaps?)
