Shenmue 3 wouldn't sell as much on the XBOne as it would on the PS4 though. It's a matter of demographics. See Final Fantasy XIII sales.

 

[stormplyr]

DO IT!

Shenmue 3 as Xbox One Exclusive would be fucking amazing and hilarious.

Of course you would want it to be Xbox One exclusive.

 

[RdN]

That's a stretch.

Really? Can you name a franchise that would bring that much excitement just for being brought back?

 

[MavFan619]

Phil, lets do this right.

First you buy SEGA. Next you give Yu Suzuki all the money he wants to make Shenmue 3 as ground-breaking as the first game was back in the day.

Ugh dwindling my chances even more of PS4 Yakuza 5. These dream scenarios scare me more than make me hype.

 

[Respawn]

Shenmue isn't coming. Ever year the same thing from you guys.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I still hold Xbox a little responsible for what happened to modern Sega.

Crap sales backed it up obviously and business is business, but you get JSRF, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and english Shenmue 2 exclusively on your system then you don't fund any sequels?

I wish they'd merged like they were clearly supposed to. Maybe all of Sonic would have turned green.

But with BLUE EYES!!

 

[Shiina]

Whoever gets Shenmue 3 is going to clean up*








*Gym locker rooms for minimum wage when the NPDs hit.

Those ten people who played the prequels will be delighted, though.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Too bad Cerny is already on this


believe...

 

[rokkerkory]

This game is so niche guys, does it really make financial sense?

 

[sixteen-bit]

If they announce it on AFD, no one will believe

 

[moltonasty]

If Shenmue 3 was announced as an XBONE exclusive, I would literally go buy an XBONE immediately.

 

[PapaJustify]

This game is so niche guys, does it really make financial sense?

No, but has this ever stopped Microsoft?

 

[Dennis]

Microsoft, this is how you are going to win E3

 

[Brazil]

Really? Can you name a franchise that would bring that much excitement just for being brought back?

Half-Life.

Shenmue who?

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Of course you would want it to be Xbox One exclusive.

Just imagine the salt man... Haha Microsoft would crush so many hopes and dreams.

Sounds like fun they need to do it!

 

[shandy706]

Ugh, I get so disappointed when the worse competitor manages to retain exclusivity for something like this. I'm not saying that's what happening, but that would suck.

LOL

That edit.

You're saying the "worse competitor" would get it, but you're not saying "that's what's happening" or that it would "suck".

Gotcha

 

[ChosenPredator]

okay if they announce phantom dust & Shenmue at E3 i'll lose my mind, nothing can beat those two announcemens for me that would be a nuclear explosion of amazingness.

 

[w00zey]

at this point I need to replay the first two so that i remember. All I remember was something about, "Have you seen the black car" over and over again in 1.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

No, but has this ever stopped Microsoft?

Pretty much every time.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Unfortunately the one company you never hear mention it is Sega.

They have locked it in a vault for the highest bidder

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Well... that'd be one way to get me to buy a One.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I will

Suck

His

Dick

For Shenmue 3

 

[Marcel]

Shenmue isn't coming. Ever year the same thing from you guys.

Shenmue 3 namedrop and silly hype cycle is a time-honored video game tradition. Have some respect.

 

[kmax]

Ah, the eternal dream.

Will Shenmue 3 come? Who knows.

 

[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

If announced, this would be pretty great for MS and the industry as a whole. Bringing back franchises that people love is a great way to get them invested.

That being said, i don't get this huge love for Shenmue. Was this some crazy great game i missed out 2 gens ago?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

LOL. There can't be more than 10,000 hardcore fans that want this. I'm one of them but I can't see this game being a profitable venture if it were to be made.

 

[NekoFever]

I always liked Phil Spencer.

 

[BadWolf]

Would this even sell well?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

, i don't get this huge love for Shenmue. Was this some crazy great game i missed out 2 gens ago?

Yes. Please rectify the situation. I'm sure your PC's DVD reader will read GDRoms.

 

[DieAntwoord]

No, but has this ever stopped Microsoft?

DEAD.

I love MS but god damn do they more money than sense sometimes...well, all the time.

 

[derFeef]

Microsoft, this is how you are going to win E3

Crackdown.
Phantom Dust.
Shenmue.
Won the world.


Will never happen...

 

[RdN]

Half-Life.

Shenmue who?

Half Life has never been dead. We know Valve's working on it. It's just a matter of when, not if.

 

[Marcel]

Half-Life.

Shenmue who?

The proper term of address for the uninitiated is "ShenWho?" Look at this fucking amateur.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Just imagine the salt man... Haha Microsoft would crush so many hopes and dreams.

Sounds like fun they need to do it!

Hopefully it would be hilarious visa versa too if Sony got it right?

 

[djplaeskool]

YeahOkay.gif

 

[R&D]

And this would sell the number of posts in this thread...

 

[dalekjay]

shenmue is turning a franchise like HL3 the expectation is too much big, so it will be easy to let down a lot of fans.

BUT I want it, and a remake of 1 and 2 definitive edition

 

[Queen of Hunting]

why do devs always ignore big opular request.

for instance capcom ignoring a new dino crisis or genma onimusha, sega with shenmue, or edios/square with a proper legacy of kain.

there is others but these are huge requests that is known around the gaming industry they are big requests they arent just gaming forum requests many gamers have asked for these for few years now, so why have they been ignored ?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Shenmue 3 wouldn't sell as much on the XBOne as it would on the PS4 though. It's a matter of demographics. See Final Fantasy XIII sales.

I'm not sure about this actually. Many Shenmue lovers likely bought an Xbox after Dreamcast died because of all the SEGA support (myself included). I wouldn't be surprised if this group of people currently owns an XB1 as well.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Lmao

[SystemBug]

They could rebrand the game and not call it Shenmu. Give it a more marketable name a la Sleeping Dogs.

 

[krypt0nian]

Lip service. He and Cerny know it won't sell.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Could this be their big Japanese exclusive? Microsoft's Bayonetta 2?

Duh. The jokey tone of the quote says it all really.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

I would have just stopped at "Shenmue 3 wouldn't sell" and called it a day.

So you are saying there is a chance?

I mean, where there is smoke there is fire......

 

[Amentallica]

LOL

Gotcha

Yes... I am saying that Microsoft in this instance, should they receive such exclusivity, would be the worse competitor to receive it. I said the exclusivity deal isn't happening because that isn't confirmed yet or ever.

And I did say in every way that the idea of Microsoft receiving such a deal sucks.

 

[Zephyrus]

Will buy a xbox one if this happens. You hear that Microsoft?
