Shenmue 1 ~~~ ~~~ Vector January 1 ~~~ RUS ~~~ 1

1998 brought many surprises - from the Japanese premiere Dreamcast and to the emergence of new genres. After just a few weeks after the premiere DC, Yu Suzuki showed excerpts from his new project (and for people who know not the new one) under the code name Project Berkley.The game was in development for a very long time, and Suzuki has promised that within a couple of months, and more precisely in February, everyone can enjoy this fantastic game.Passed in February - the game was not, but to the great joy of the fans the game came out, belatedly almost a year, that is in February 2000. Project Berkley was called Shenmue.
The game made a lasting impression on the gaming community, and most importantly on kritikov.Chto to VF Rpg, the Shenmue and was thereby VF Rpg (not literally of course), as Yu Suzuki or who do not say that develops VF Rpg. He said that developing a revolutionary RPG. And that to Shun, silly fans probably thought that his father Ryo, protagonist of the game is not the most drunken Shun.
But all this is in Japan, their complex language.The game went there in February 2000 and that before us? Localizers said that because of the abundance of text and speech will have to translate the game for almost a year, that is until about November and December.The game was transferred on time and in November, we could see her way around the world to understand the language, ie English. That's how the legend originated.
And now I tell you about the graphic aspect of the game. So, no exaggeration to say that in the graphics Shenmue It is the most beautiful game on any platform.The number of polygons spent on each character is about 5-6 million, with about half of them spent on the face, which means that the characters move their lips when speaking, all the musclesbody. And it's not just opening his mouth, and all the movements of the lips and facial muscles are made to match the words. I assure you - this facial You have nowhere seen. As for the rest of the body, there is also all okay.Clothing looks like a real, animation in general strikes - all moves, both in the real world. The engine does not brake, only very rarely, a large gathering of people to be seen slight snubs.As to the rest of the world, everything just amazing - the ocean, which, though the water is green looks pretty attractive, trees, parks, homes - all performed at the highest level!Answer my question - where did you see that each tree looked different? I will answer for you, there is no place this has not happened. There were earlier, before Shenmue. Now, you will not find a single tree in the same game. In general, the engine is magnificent - the beauty, technology and art have merged into the game engine.
But as they say, a drawing can not eat, we need more and good music. Music Final Fantasy 8,9 - it is certainly good, but Shenmue it is much better, again, a lot! In every building, in every place you will listen to different music. By the way, I am writing music and attended by Russian composers.The game has a Japanese-soul music, American music is aggressive and a lot of different music for all tastes. That is another huge plus Shenmue. By the way all that you have heard in the game, you can listen to and Passport'e.
The plot of the game is global. The game begins with the moment when the father of Ryo killed by Lan-Di - of a man who owns the most powerful kind of martial arts.You, as a son, you want to take revenge, but soon realize that not everything is so simple. You will learn about the ancient Chinese mirror - Dragon Mirror and Phoenix Mirror, which are fraught with mystical powers.The man who gets hold of these mirrors will have unlimited power and ability.Rumor has it that these mirrors can open Devry between heaven and hell, and then freedom will break the terrible demon Chi You. Chi You - an ancient monster, Chinese philosophy, something like the devil.But neither with Lan-Di, or with Chi You, you will not find in the first chapter of Shenmue.Yu Suzuki decided to make the multi-game, that is what you now hold in your hands - it's just the beginning of a global narrative of the saga.And yet, by the end of the game Ryo begins to dream of the girl he had never seen, and which appears in the intro of the game. "It will come from distant lands.A man who does not know their potential - potential that can either kill him or fulfill his dream.I am looking forward to this moment "- these words she said early in the game, and at the end. In general, according to the legend of Rio and this girl to meet, and then begin the main events of the game.That's the plot, but as far as you are far from the goal you understand passing game as the main character, you do not even see ...
The game world is perfectly balanced. Yokosuka, a city in which the main character lives lived by their own laws.People go to work, go about their business, they sleep at night, on weekends relax - everything as real as mire.Nochyu in Yokosuka begins another life - opening new restaurants, and more.In general - it is a must see, words can not express. By the way the game is presented tremendous change system weather - snow, rain and storm.When the snow begins, then after a couple of hours of playing time on the ground there are drifts, and if the rain comes, people will take out the umbrellas and on the ground there are small pools.All done amazing and you get used to the role of Ryo, as if to is himself. In the game you will find about 50-70 different characters.For example - is Nozomi, in secret, but clearly in love with the protagonist, Tom seller of hot dogs and my favorite character Gui Zang, son of Master Chen, who helps Rio disassembly.The game also has a cat, you need to start to name and then feed her, buying her food in the nearest fish store.Also in Yokosuka has a games room where you can play the old hits Sega, such as Space Harrier, Hang On and others.Everything is just fine, and you can win a prize in a lottery and get these games at home use, because the house has Ryo Sega Saturn !!!For total immersion in the game, Ryo has a music player, where he can listen to different music. Generally just not perechislesh. And even closer to the end of the game Ryo get a job.Work - this is another mini-game where you have to deliver boxes of food. Mini games, fight chase - just not tell! Speaking of fights. The game used a very interesting system fights.You have to learn techniques, then you have to apply them, and the more you use a particular technique, the stronger it will be! By the way fights are made very nice and professional.The second mode of fighting - a Quick Time Events. In this mode, you have to not only fight, but also to do other things, such as catching a ball or a flying cat from a tree.The method is as follows - you have to press a certain button in a certain period, and if not managed, then get in the face, so to speak. Here's a gameplay in the game, I can not describe and share his splendor. Full description will be available soon from another author's site, as Shenmue game special.
Who better Shenmue game, there is only on this level and Metal Gear Solid! These two games are masterpieces of the gaming industry. And that in the end ShenmueWhen Ryo swims in Hong-Kong you break through tears it is proof that the game was done masterfully.
