Shenmue II

[ArcadeNoob]

Alright, I had Shenmue I for Dreamcast.....I loved it.  I do not have an xbox, but heard that there was a Shenmue II for Xbox....was it any good?  Are there any plans for a 3?  Thanks!

Shenmue II was, unfortunately, never released in the US for the Dreamcast. But, if you get the PAL version, it's subtitled in English.  I think the XBOX version was released in '02 and got some pretty good reviews...

Are there any plans for a 3?

According to GameInformer Issue 153, Page 24 near the bottom.

Yu Suzuki says that there's no Shenmue 3.

I thought I heard about a Shenmue MMORPG game that was being made for South Korea a while back but I could be wrong.

I got to try a demo of Shenmue on the xbox, it seemed like a fun game.

After getting sucked into Shenmue, I was looking forward to Shenmue II.  The U.S. Dreamcast release got canned, and I never imported it.  I did get a copy of the Xbox port.  It's supposed to have updated lighting from the DC version, but I wouldn't know personally.  I wasn't able to really get into the meat of the game, but I'm sure that it had more to do with life taking up my free time.  It's a shame, because I have a feeling that I could end up getting into it.

The MMORPG, from what I understand, was due out already, but was basically canned.  It was supposed to have been handed to a Korean code mill, where games go to die.  But, that's just what I've heard.  I wasn't all that interested in the MMORPG.
