From Shenmudojo:
Oh fucking fuck shit mother fucker fuck shit fuck fuck fuck!!!!!! By "chapter" I certainly hope he doesn't mean the entire rest of the series... there were three chapters in Shenmue II, so maybe he meant that only the first chapter will be a CG movie and that the rest of Shenmue III will be fully playable... PLEASE OH GOD TELL ME THAT I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!
Quote:GMR Yu Suzuki Interview January 6
The premiere issue of GMR (the new game mag co-published by Electronics Boutique and Ziff Davis Media) has done a short interview with Yu Suzuki. This is what was asked about Shenmue:
GMR: With Shenmue II completed, can you tell us about Shenmue III? We know you had to compress multiple chapters into Shenmue II because of cost constraints. Will you have to further condense the series?
Suzuki: The series will continue, but I think we will go with a different approach for Shenmue III. I'd like to make the next chapter into a movie.
GMR: A CG movie, kind of like the one on the free DVD that comes with Shenmue II?
Suzuki: Yes.
GMR: Is it true that Shenmue originally began life as a Virtua Fighter RPG?
Suzuki: That's something of an urban myth. When we were first planning the game, Akira (from Virtua Figher) was scheduled to be the main character, and the working title was Akira's Quest. As development progressed, we felt it would be better to start with a brand-new character.
This interview was sent in by Protomic in which he also scanned the "magazine cover" and "interview". ~HellRaiser~
