Shenmue III has not been confirmed and if it has please show me some evidence..

Shenmue in-depth

The recent news of Shenmue Online (www.shenmue-online.com) has sparked within me a more in-depth analysis of Shenmue as part of gaming pehnomena. Misplaced Pages's NPOV policy may aid in this understanding. I plan to completely overhaul this page with information from various websites, most notably http://www.planetxbox.com/shenmuedojo/.

However, my question to others is this: is it worth it to add this information to Misplaced Pages? Information on electronic gaming is so ubuquitous online, so what will one more page on a videogame serve?

I think a single page summarising a popular or important videogame (Shenmue obviousy qualifyng there) deserves a place in the history books just as much as that as a book or music album. --DamienG 23:57, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The difference between Misplaced Pages and every other site filled with information on gaming is that our information is copyright free, in perpetuity. Also, as popular as gaming is, it's often very difficult to find good, hard information on games, especially if they're "old" (pre-1995), "foreign" (not American), or unpopular. Preserving the information here is a good choice when half the FAQ sites will charge you for their content, and the other half are written by Seanbaby clones. ~ FriedMilk 00:42, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)

I think that for many of us gamers who have played Shenmue it is more than just a game. It is definitely deserving of more coverage here, especially with the leak of info about Shenmue III from http://games.kikizo.com/news/200508/141_p1.asp. The story comes from a reliable and respected writer from Kikizo.com. You can also view what many Shenmue fans are saying about this at http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~shenmuedojo/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25945&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0.

Personally, the article must be heavily expanded, by example: information about people involved in programming, music, about Project Berkley and other SEGA programmers like Toshihiro Nagoshi. There are some videogame programmers that must appear on Misplaced Pages and they aren't mentioned. - Anonymous guy

Change to Plot Summary

I have again edited the summary and this time made far less changes leaving most of the original text intact. However, there were some points that were completely incorrect before and their change was necessary. Other points I elaborated on.

Dreamcast version?

I tried playing this game but my dreamcast kept freezing up. The problem only occured on this game. Does the game not work on some models?

Maybe you have a bad copy? --Golbez 05:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Better

I think this article really needs more work! And needs to be really clearier! Because there needs to be more details for the gameplay, because the gameplay is really big. Notes need to be available, explaining about the game set in 1980 ect

Timex

Anyone actually have support for the idea that Timex helped make the game? I suspect the "Thank You" credit cited in the article is simply for allowing Sega to use the Timex trademark, not for any material assistance. 05:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


Yes, I wrote that. And I am 100% sure Timex helped with the game. It didn't actually say "thank you", but I can remember SEGA dedicating a thanks to TIMEX, because they wrote the name down!

Xino, how about citing your source in-line with the page? Unless this point is verifiable, it's best to leave it simply as "his watch is a Timex". RandyWang 12:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, how would a corporation like Timex "help with the game"? Timex produce watches; this is a computer game. Call me ignorant, but I don't see how what experience Timex could lend Sega to help them develop this game... which is precisely why we need to find a source for this statement.
