Hands On: Shenmue II

[Ric]

I dont think you understand quite how complex many aspects of Shenmue 2 actually are you guys.

First and foremost there's the language and voice acting. There are literally hundreds of people in the game and they all have to be re-voice acted. Not only that but they all usually have quite a lot of different things to say. That in itself will take months.

Another thing is the toy collection, there are something like 20 different capsule toy shops in the game all buying different collections and paying different amounts of money. On top of that there are hundreds of different collections and single toys. That in itself will take some re-working.

Then we have the scores of minigames and different jobs you can do which I wont go into so I dont spoil anything for you.

I am sure there are a bunch of other things that need doing aswell so give them some credit, it's well worth the wait. You are probably right about a little purposeful delay too.
