Yes, Shenmue. I would like to introduce you to the game that is going to save Sega. Shenmue, a few weeks ago, I had never heard of myself, but out of interest, I started to read about it, and I saw pictures, and then I downloaded a trailer.
The last trailer I downloaded was of Ocarina of Time, and I watched that quite a bit.
I have been watching the trailer to Shenmue ever since I got home, and I am still watching it now as i type, (It isn't long, but I just keep repeating it.)
Please try and find something about this absoulutly beautiful game.

Heh :) In all seriousness, that story has been doing the rounds quite a bit this weekend. But, I can't see Sega canning the sequel to one of the most expensive games ever made!

Well, there you go - it was just a rumour. Don't shoot the messenger, I was only passing it on in case it were true and you'd missed it!

I don't need to save for one, but it's not going to happen in the near future. Don't take that to mean I *never* will, though!

Looks like the rumour mill has been turning again.

I can answer this easily.
Ign started this, they went onto Sega of Japans site, and reported that the release date had gone missing from march next year. They said it will probably be released near Christmas then, or perhaps the year after. Daily Radar, as always, has blown this right out of proportion, and of course this means Shenmue 2 has been canned.
Try and find something a bit better Babylonian! It looks like a real great game, and it will be a shame to miss it. (Hey, if you try and limit yourself to one magazine a month, you'll have saved enough to buy a Dreamcast!)

In fact....the new Official Dreamcast mag has a very good preview of the game Shenmue (I know other mags may have previewed it first, but ODM does it in style!) and Quake III too. If I (ever) win here again I think this may be my game of choice. I urge everyone else to think about making it theirs as well (of course if you don't own a dreamcast it's a bit of a waste of time but..)
I don't believe Shenmue will be completely free-roaming, there are always limits to the game engine, but it's certainly the closest that a game has come to 'freedom'
