Don't shoot the messenger! I'm posting this for someone else. It's an official statement from Sega of US

Fishie: You can reference the email below from Kikizo – an organization that clearly does not fact check before they broadcast information positioned as news.



Official comment from SEGA: SEGA of America cannot confirm plans to publish Shenmue 3 or a next generation title from the Shenmue franchise.

 

[radrelic]

wtf?

 

[olimario]

THEY CANT CONFIRM AN UNANNOUNCED GAME BEFORE IT IS ANNOUNCED?!
SHOCKING!

 

[TheJollyCorner]

...now people die.

 

[Gibbles]

THEY CANT CONFIRM AN UNANNOUNCED GAME BEFORE IT IS ANNOUNCED?!
SHOCKING!

Beat me to it...

 

[puck1337]

That man has no tact.

 

[scarybore]

Not as if they outright deny it is it? Anyway I daresay most Shenmue fans take such news with a pinch of salt, until we are implicitly shown Shenmue III I doubt this will change.

 

[solarplexus]

I knew it.

 

[miyuru]

...

Might as well just lock this thread. Let's assume Kikizo is right, Sega would still say the same thing. It doesn't necessarily mean Kikizo is wrong.

This piece of non-news is a good a time as any to post the patented Tara Reid Breast Timeline™:

From the original Kikizo article:

Of course, the official Sega line on Shenmue 3 is "no comment". But when this story is dissected all over the web and quite possibly ruled "bogus" from certain quarters, all that means is that the official Sega line is "no comment". If you push Sega a little harder, it will possibly even make official noises about how it all seems "unlikely" - but nonetheless, this is factual information.

From SOA:

SEGA of America cannot confirm plans to publish Shenmue 3 or a next generation title from the Shenmue franchise.

 

[StephaneC]

you think really that sega america give you information about shenmue 3 ? and they don't tell 'shenmue 3 isn't in developement' but 'we cannot confirm'

Officialy the title does not exist and is not sheduled for release.

And this comes from a senior person at SoA

Hey guys, guess what I just heard? Britney Spears has a 12 inch penis. If you ask her, she'll just deny it or say no comment, but its true!

 

[Lhadatt]

7:48:50 PM fishie: Its not me who says kikizo sucks
7:48:55 PM fishie: its SoA
7:49:15 PM fishie: reno misquoted me

So, yeah. It was Sega of America, not Fishie, who pimpslapped Kikizo.

I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Tara, how about a game of Lucky Hit?

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

QUADR(.)(.)PLETS

 

[FortNinety]

Is this the same spokesperson who said a Rez re-release was on the way?

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Why would SoA have any say over what games SoJ releases?

 

[Lhadatt]

Why would SoA have any say over what games SoJ releases?

I'd like to use a little logic here to point out that they're Sega. Even though SoA has pulled some retard-o moves in the past, you'd think they would know what's being developed within different units of their own company.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Why would SoA have any say over what games SoJ releases?

Believe it or not, SoA now has an extraordinary amount of veto power if they believe something is not going to sell.

The statement Fishie received states that SoA would not publish another Shenmue. That does not preclude SoJ from publishing a new Shenmue in Japan.

 

[sangreal]

It doesn't even say that. It says they cannot confirm plans to publish another Shenmue.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

It doesn't even say that. It says they cannot confirm plans to publish another Shenmue.

Which basically says absolutely nothing one way or another. Which leaves us exactly back at nowhere.

 

[Drinky Crow]

haha, I can't believe you ponces still pine for that oafish Segafag pseudogame.

 

[BlackClouds]

Count me in as one who pines for more Shenmue. You will never stop the juggarnaut that is Shenmue, arch nemesis anti-shenmue guy. Takes a mature man to appreciate the greatness of Shenmue. Shows character, like enjoying MILF porn, you just gotta love that shit.

"Cannot confirm"...hahaha, what a joke. I love these non statements. Yep, I believe this rumor. I want to believe, and that's good enough cause frankly, I said so.

 

[Lunar Aura]

thread starter spelled Shenmue "Shen Mue"...hmmmm...do i believe you or kikizo? ummmm....yeah. :lol

 

[Ranger X]

Was this thread an attempt at beating "Wednesdayton" one?

--- Failed Miserably ---

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Shenmue rules. Greatest game series ever. The console that gets the next Shenmue game is the console I buy.

 

[Trojan X]

Yeah right! I really believe Sega's statement. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Good job, Adam.

 

[Shiggy]

Believe it or not, SoA now has an extraordinary amount of veto power if they believe something is not going to sell.

This is a joke, isn' it? Why did they release Virtua Quest, Billy Hatcher ect. ?

 

[Blimblim]

Shenmue rules. Greatest game series ever. The console that gets the next Shenmue game is the console I buy.

Same here, whatever the console I'll buy it on day one. Of course I'd rather it would be on Xbox 360 or PS3 since I'll most definitely get both at launch.

 

[Shogmaster]

I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her.

Yeah, but would you fuck her, that's the real question.

 

[Gattsu25]

Yeah, but would you fuck her, that's the real question.

Only the third pic...periods can be messy business

 

[Sho Nuff]

This is a joke, isn' it? Why did they release Virtua Quest, Billy Hatcher ect. ?

Maybe they thought they would sell :lol

 

[iapetus]

haha, I can't believe you ponces still pine for that oafish Segafag pseudogame.

Meh. Your hatred for Shenmue is well documented. But Shenmue 2 was vastly superior to Shenmue. If this trend keeps up, Shenmue 3 will only suck a little bit.

 

[Hydro_Alexis]

I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her. I'd fuck her.

u need to get laid

:lol Bastard...

 

[crunker99]

Its Kikizo... we kind of knew this before anyoen said anythign anyway

 

[Kobold]

Who would have though?
