Absurdly impressive for a nineteen year old game.

[@Grandmastergav86]

I remember being blown away by the screenshots prior to release and was intrigued to see how the game would play. Knowing Yu's pedigree and being a huge VF fan I was fully on board the hype train. Then I remember seeing a video preview in Game and my jaw hit the floor, I couldn't quite believe what I was watching. I just wish Yu had made the game more of a life sim, would've been cool to attend Ryo's school, have the ability for him to change hair, clothes, gain/lose weight , even have branching relationship paths with Nozomi and his other love interests. I just replayed Shenmue the other day and if you phone Nozomi immediately after chatting to Ine-San upon leaving your room, you can ask her to check in on Ine-San periodically, Nozomi references the fact that she'll bring some flowers round (which she later does in your absence). It was nice incidental dialogue that really made an impression on me.

I really adore old visuals. Maybe it's my childhood being this era of gaming and that I'm so fond of it, but they just have a certain intangible and sincere quality to them. For all the graphical fidelity we have today, games don't feel as exciting on the technical front. We inch closer and closer to reality with diminishing returns. Back in the Dreamcast and PS2 era, new advances were monumental. I yearn so deeply for the time where games felt wonderfully expressive and jolly in that charming, quaint sort of way that only the rougher edges can deliver.

I love how perfectly Shenmue captures the cold isolation of winter even nearly 20 years later.

[@herooftime4873]

For others wondering, the song is Christmas on Dobuita Street. Took me awhile to find it but now no one else has to search :)

[@ralphgus87]

so happy to see this channel alive again. :D Your work is important. Please don't stop doing it.

[@smeefie7343]

This song gives off an extreme sense of melancholy to me

[@MickSaladin]

other places... the newest saga revived by sega

[@XcarecaX]

this was one of the FIRST games to get me to admire videogame environments! thanks for the post and welcome back!

[@ocasiano]

This perfectly captures what makes and keeps the game so nostalgic 20 years on.

[@BodhiArnold]

Watching this on Christmas Eve is wonderful

[@marianoancos4434]

[@polishgunman5395]

[@andrewwiseman1]

This video does a fantastic job of capturing what I love about this game.

[@andrewwiseman1]

Watching this again after a year and it is still one of my favourite videos about one of my favourite games.

[@HeroYui84]

Great video; thanks for uploading. Merry Christmas!

[@EdoMusic11]

awsome Videos!!! Love your Channel!

[@user-gr5yj7de6l]

I'm glad to see you back again!!!

[@cyco7229]

I'm in love with this channel

[@teamyordle23]

Just discovered your channel. Your making beautiful art with your videos.

[@commeunchienenrage]

That channel is one of the best on youtube. It would be a great way to promote videogames before they're released. I wish some publisher would stumble upon one of these and hire you!

[@otherplaces]

I've actually been approached by a few publishers over the years, but I'm a writer for PC Gamer and doing promo stuff would be too much of a conflict of interest.

[@commeunchienenrage]

Damned ethics! Always in the way of making sweet money! :)

[@ashtara6111]

supereyepatchwolf?

[@wuj0-themanthemyththelegen856]

[@mewletter]

[@thesch2867]

[@AdiCool88]

Yep, both Shenmue 1 & 2 has some of the best and coziest songs in gaming.

[@Th3DutchZombi3]

Great work !

[@Slickllama2]

You're doing God's work

[@GoranArsic76]

Good to see you back. One suggestion: Karnaca

[@gravelord2600]

Shenmue is truly a amazing game ❤️

[@eddielin1997]

Anybody know the exact song to this? It's amazing.

[@luca_magna7753]

Christmas on Dobuita Street

[@zhixon1]

These are amazing! I'd love to see one to RiME! It's a gorgeous game.

[@oskarr3018]

He's alive !

[@adelrayen6808]

I'd love it if these videos went on for a bit longer, I like to keep them in the background as do something else.

[@captainsecretwizard]

tomorrow is the day the snow turns to rain

[@Chris-Moore501]

Do the monster hunter franchise next! This is my fav channel rn

[@juan54321]

I love you channel, thank you very much, please do lindblum from final fantasy ix.

[@theabsurdplatypus4688]

Might be a bit of a hard request but I would LOVE it if you did a video on Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. A pretty obscure Wii game but it has the most beautiful environment of any game I have ever played.

[@MajoraZ]

You should do the Halo games (ideally the MCC versions due to the higher rsolution/frame rate), a lot of them have built in theater modes. I know there are entire channels about doing them for Halo already, but the more the merrier!

[@bloodbornesurvivor6399]

This is beautiful do you think you could do Hiroshima from Yakuza 6?

[@Noirpill]

Do Stalker Shadows of Chernobyl!

[@EryMasters]

Esse jogo merecia muito um remake.

[@nexcoyocoatl]

Great video! Please make one of Subnautica!

[@nazauwu6431]

maybe do one for apotos from sonic unleashed? i personally think the place is really beautiful

[@thedylanfarnumlook7687]

Go home, Nozomi.

[@user-qe2et5cw2k]

Ностальгия. Shenmue 2 тоже сделай

[@qusigh]

[@user-og9gx6vj8z]

Me every year even doe im INTJ: (fugg what people say) merry Shenmue Christmas everyone!

[@beatingstuff88]

I know i'm a bit late, but whats the song used in this video?

[@PetroDeineka]

Йокосука, кумедна назва для міста.

[@seanpetaia]

Hey there I’m I just wanted to post this . Because I can see most comments are literally 5 years ago, so mine well be literally new because I’m in 2024 🙂.

[@Guy430]

Do Doom 3!
