If Shenmue is that amazing, then I wonder why a sequel hasn’t been released yet.
If we exclude the top 21 active software, all of them have sequels, right?

There are definitely nutrients that can only be obtained from Shenmue.

Wasn’t Dark Souls at the top in GJA?
Is the Academy Awards different?

I can somewhat understand the influence.

But I don’t think that if it weren’t for Shenmue, open world games would have been delayed by 10 years.
If that’s the case, then why isn’t DC selling well if they have that much influence?

Wasn’t this news from quite a while ago? I thought it was two months ago.
Is that all?

I wonder if the Dreamcast sold well in the UK and Europe.

The fact that it did not sell at the time has no relevance to the current games.

At that time, the DC specialty magazine was really hyping it up, but I felt unsure… and was not drawn to it, so I didn’t buy it.
Each NPC has their own life settings, but does that really contribute to the fun?

I think it’s a game that comes out just as expected, and when it’s released now, it makes you go “n…!”
The beginning starts in the deep countryside, but I think there are also cases where the countryside isn’t interesting just because of the location.

It’s about time you lift the regional restriction…
It’s not even 60fps on the PS4 version…

I think if it had been available online, the series wouldn’t have stopped at this point.

Sega says they will utilize their old IPs! But what’s up with not even distributing popular past titles?

It’s okay if it’s not all 11 chapters, but please make sure to conclude it properly.

It’s about Mario 64, you know.
The ancestor of open world.

It is said that it influenced the development of GTA3 or something like that.

Shenmue is certainly amazing, but there are many flaws when you play it.

3 has become different from the previous games because it is no longer using the virtual battle system…

The excessive number of QTEs makes me feel the era.

Shenmue actually demonstrated that open-world games can be created.
For foreign creators, it has an impact comparable to Alone in the Dark.

In the game store demo, I was more attracted to Soul Calibur.

It’s interesting that Japan, which gave birth to Shenmue, is now a developing country in terms of online gaming.
Countries that challenge themselves after seeing something and those that do not.

When it comes to NPC behavior settings, Majora’s Mask came after Shenmue.

It’s a site with a crappy name like my Nintendo news.

By having each NPC possess their own life cycle and perform predetermined actions,
By waiting at the bottom of the stairs in advance, one can peek at the high school girls’ underwear.
This is Open Yokosuka World.

When the barber appeared in Twilight Warriors, I exclaimed, “It’s a three-sword style!”

1st Place: Shenmue, SEGA
2nd place DOOM Microsoft
3rd place Super Mario Nintendo
It’s amazing that the three major hardware companies are the top three.

Baduki-kun is still waiting behind the stairs…

Being nominated itself is
It means that Shenmue’s open world has burned the brains of overseas developers.

I was playing it at the time, and it was definitely fun.
Mainly forklifts, but…

Foreigners love Shenmue too much.

I think it’s important that this came out in 1999.

Even though I’m being praised by foreigners.
Why didn’t number 3 sell?

Milk looks good on a schoolboy.

Was it really that open-world?

I think we were ahead of the times back then.
I think I was running ahead.

I haven’t done it before, but is it still fun to do it now? Is it like GTA?

Samneru-phi

Given Japan’s budget and scale, it’s more of a closed-world than an open-world.
We will compete with a compact yet finely-tuned system.
Japan compensates with technology!

It’s totally different from GTA, you know?!

It feels like GTA, or rather the predecessor to Yakuza.

It influenced later works, but the work itself isn’t that significant, kind of like the “Art of Fighting” in fighting games.

Ocarina of Time → Miniature Garden
Botw → Open World

Well, I can’t tell the difference.

It’s not so much that it’s incredibly interesting and has a lot of followers!
I think the influence comes from the fact that it embodies both the good and bad points of open worlds.
There are many aspects that don’t lead to interest, including stubbornness and some examples of what not to do.
