Shenmue Hints & Signs in VF5 PS3+A new SEGA-AM2 inteview

It's not a long time that the PS3 version of VF5 is out but some gamers have found a few intresting Shenmue hints and signs in this game...for example AM2 have used from a remixed version of a street song from Shenmue II in Lau's stage(it's here)& there is a new MJQ Jazz Bar in VF 5?lol!

Surely there are even more Shenmue hints and signs in VF 5 PS3 and hopefully there will be even more on the upcoming Xbox 360 version because last Shenmue game was on Xbox not Playstation.As you know almost most of the people who has already worked on Shenmue 1 & 2 are still at SEGA-AM2 & they've also worked on VF5, maybe these signs and hints are their message to Shenmue fans! don't lose your hopes!who knows?

....The other news...

KIKIZO.com's Adam Doree who is responsible for old famous Shenmue III ready for next gen article has done a new interview with SEGA-AM2's Mr.Makoto Osaki and Mr.Murayama.

As you may remeber in their old famous 23 august 2005 article (that hasn't happened yet), KIKIZO said that Yu Suzuki has very little involvement in the Shenmue 3 project instead Mr.Makoto Osaki is a "likely candidate" for Shenmue3's producer!!!

Official: Shenmue IIx backward compatable on Xbox 360!

Finally we're going to see Shenmue 2 on X 360.

It's still the best Xbox title but this great title couldn't sell well on Xbox(In US)because the Europe and Japanese version of this game was already availbe on DC.

Anyway many sources are saying that in a upcoming backward compatablity update, Shenmue IIx will be playable on Xbox 360 "Can Microsoft help us for getting a sequel to this game on their great new generation console or not?"360 can become our DC2 if it can get at least a Shenmue title,

Note:Again it doesn't matter which new gen console for SIII , We just need it...(& life is too short)

TO SEGA:We hope to see that Shenmue II will be available in marekt(again) but this time in Japan too.There are still a lots of gamers who really love to play Shenmue II X, Also some older fans want to buy it again (to help the sales & for having a new & clean disc...)
