Shenmue Online Video Surfaces

4Gamer.net has posted up a video of a surprise showing of Shenmue Online at a Chinese game show. The video shows off quite a few environments from the game along with some details on the events, mini-games, and job system within the new PC game. The familiar Shenmue music plays in the background most of the video as many of the characters you can play as run around empty locations doing pretty much nothing. The last 1/4 of the video shows off the fighting system which looks like a mix of the Shenmue system with an MMO style system. Kind of like a cross between Shenmue and city of Heroes. Due to the horribly slow download speeds of 4Gamer’s Japanese based site and in order to preserve this video we have hosted it here for your viewing pleasure.
