atlast some more news on shenmue 2x, first of all its been annouced on the official shenmue web site that it will come in english speech, did you like the japanese speech on the dc?, well dont worry you can toggle between english and japanese adding some much needed reply value.
Second up is that it will be at E3, only its in the microsoft both and not sega's, and thats how people thought it wasnt going to be there, they kept looking at segas list!.
Well already ive decided to buy it dispite having it on the dc the improved graphics and the english speech(hopefully with the same guy doing Ryo from the original shenmue), but still no word on its release date.=!¬}

the jap lingo was actually ok, it did give shenmue 2 allot more oriental flaver, only 1 problem was that while you were reading the subtitles you'd miss some of the action on screen.
But the good thing of having both jap and english speech is that you can play though the game on english then once completed you could play though again in jap, wont change the game that much but still its a cool touch.
Shenmue is my best game of all time, the reason I got the dreamcast and the reason why I will never get rid of it!!

The 2nd city on Crazy Taxi suffered from bad pop-up, but the 1st main city wasn't that bad.
On "Crazy Taxi 2" the pop-up had almost been completely eliminated.
Crazy Taxi 2 was far better than Crazy Taxi 1.
So I expect Crazy Taxi 3 to be free of all pop-up.

Don't blame SEGA for pop-up.
Many games have it, but slowly but surely it's being reduced.
GTA3 had little bits of pop-up.
Games with big game worlds can suffer from it.

By the way, Shenmue has no pop-up.
It still has the best graphics I've ever seen on a console game.

I've never played the first one, but I expect it was as good as everyone else makes out.

One question: Does it have that mingin' pop-up that most Sega games have (that's what dissappointed me with Crazy Taxi on PS2).

Will Crazy Taxi: High Roller have this problem aswell? Or is it just the software differences?

AAARGH!!

Yeah, converting the Shenmue movie and putting it in with Shenmue II would be good.
And Shenmue I coming out as a budget SEGA classic.... nice.

shenmue 1 and 2 would be sweet but theres rumour that shenmue 1 will be released among the sega classic package there gonna bring out.
But I have a better Idea I reckon sega us or microsoft should convert the shenmue movie dvd and sell it with shenmue 2x as it goes allot deeper then the first game, or they should really really just release it in the usa or even better over here Id happilly pay £20+ for it!!
