Wow, talk about amazing graphics!
A touch of subtle anime, as well
IMHO, I think this game will pioneer the way for life-like graphics, just take a look at that first screen shot. Yes, that is a screen shot, but it looks pretty real!
- - TREKMaN - -
Real Time (I.E. It is 5pm real time it is 5pm their time - I assume you set a clock in the beginning of the game)
Weather(snow, rain, etc)
The game which is centered around Hatsuki Ryo will feature realistic sleeping patterns in which Hatsuki Ryo must get a sufficient amount of sleep when he gets tired later in the evening or he will be groggy the next day, making him perform less and his damage increase.
Creator Yu Suzuki had this to say concerning Shen Mue:
"I have always hoped to develop a game of this type - very little limits will be in the game as compared to current games around. Players can freely roam around in the area and do whatever they like. No matter which person plays this game will also not feel limited or complicated. If the player puts a little effort in thinking about what they are doing, many many features hidden objects will be found. The theme of Shen Muu could be accepted by all types of different people, living in different places and even in generations. Every person in the world who has played this game will have the same strong feeling. The story could be treated as a part of the player's life, which has no difference as real life experience. The story has to be easy enough to let 10 year old children understand, but yet to let adults feel the hardness in the adventure. By gathering different charming characters together with a touching story, this will form a brand new world... I hope I can bring this feeling to all the people who get the chance to experience my game."
