Possible tease from the voice of Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue)

We are two generations out from Shenmue 2 now. Two point five gens from 1. Before Sega hands Suzuki another blank check, they'll want to put out some feelers. Surely HD remasters would come before a new entry.

Clicking on a Shenmue 3 thread is like buying a lottery ticket. You know you're going to lose but the brief moment of fantasy makes it worth it.

If this is real there's no way it is not an exclusive grabbed by one of the big three to increase their "hardcore" rep, unfortunately, so, pick your poison.

If I had to chose, realistically, and I have not played Shenmue ever, I would say MS is the one who grabbed it, they certainly don't mind throwing away money without careful consideration unlike Nintendo, and Sony would be a weird choice since they basically were the ones who bury it, and I don't see Sony throwing money away either.

I'm not convinced the original games will have aged well enough, even with HD remakes, to judge if it's worth putting out a new game. I think the only way many modern gamers are getting through the originals is getting hyped on the graphics and exploration potential from a new game's marketing bonanza. There will still have to be HD remakes, of course, but they'll be there to complement the marketing blitz, get people caught up, and hopefully help defray costs a touch.

In other words, if Sega (or whoever's bankrolling this) judges the viability of a part 3 by the sales and reception of HD remakes, they'll get a no, and I think Sega, Sony, and Nintendo know that. They have to either have the guts to dive in and do a part 3 or not bother.

I do not want a PS4. If Shenmue is revived on PS4, I will probably want a PS4.

No matter what piece of technology gets the new Shenmue, I'm buying it.

I have to agree. I am a PC gamer, the last console I bought was an original Xbox, and my console days pretty much died with the death of the Dreamcast.

However, if any of the new consoles get Shenmue III as an exclusive, I will be buying it. I won't even care what lack of games the Wii U has, or what draconian DRM the Xbox One has, or whatever negative thing the PS4 has going for it too (I can't think of one right now), I'd buy the console that has Shenmue III without a second thought.








Unless the game sucked really hard of course.

You thought 80 thread topics for a CallOdoody dog and a DRM policy was overkill on GAF?

Microsoft - fucking amateurs. If Shenmue 3 gets announced you may as well not try to log in here for a week. The GAF servers would burn in a way even the infinite power of the cloud could assist with.

Was getting a little excited until I saw it was confirmed to be an old picture. Glad I didn't fall for it this time.....

ain't reading through this mess, but assuming everyone knows by now that it's been debunked

Well, that was fun to wake up to. A debunked Shenmue III myth.

Real talk now guys, if it was going to be anything, it'd be Ryo Hazuki DLC for Sonic All-Stars Racing: Transformed.

I think we've got a bigger chance of getting Shenmue I & II HD than an imminent Shenmue III announcement, and I think even that's unlikely.
 
Never played Shenmue 1 or 2.... So what made them so revolutionary and terrific? I probably won't be able to appreciate its brilliance if I play them now.
 
Iwata on Stage:
