Shenmue...the best game ever made?
Shenmue, the 1st ever open world game
Both are constantly top 5 on many neutral top games lists (for consoles)Are you high on DRUGS?
Which franchise is alive? Exactly.
This already happened and fans and several reviewers still heap it with praise..
Ask yourself, if Shenmue came out today with modern graphics, would it still enjoy the same euphoria it did back then? Do the same with Ocarina of Time and you have your answer.
I'd argue the Dreamcast wouldn't have lasted as long without Shenmue since it gave it that post launch bump in the US. People were starting to wonder about when the hit games were coming out and while it wasn't a great success it got interest that covered the gap between the next wave of releases.Shenmue brought us QTEs, gave us slow slice of life filler in an incomplete story, it distracted a lead developer from creating successful games in 2 console generations that desperately needed them, it burned all the cash, and it helped kill Sega.
Zelda brought us a big 3D world to explore like previous Zeldas, more depth with horizontal and vertical attack patterns, Z-targeting to tighten up the bad 3D camera work that was still common in the industry.
Tough choice.
Both. Shenmue did get a new entry fairly recently.Which franchise is alive? Exactly.
Maybe Ocarina is, (although that's mostly just nostalgia) but no one outs Shenmue at the tops of their lists. Especially after everyone saw how terrible 3 was.Both are constantly top 5 on many neutral top games lists (for consoles)
They did for years. Before 3.Maybe Ocarina is, (although that's mostly just nostalgia) but no one outs Shenmue at the tops of their lists. Especially after everyone saw how terrible 3 was.
Qtes actually came from 80's FMV games. I think only the term was created, then for some reason adopted by the industry.The only thing notable about Shenmue now is the invention of the QTE.
Ocarina of Time is a timeless masterpiece.
Came in the thread only to attack the wrong Shenmue. SmhShenmue doesn't belong in the same sentence with OOT. Would you like to play a game of Lucky Hit?
