Heh, AM2/Digital Rex isn't going to use somebody's else's engine for a Shenmue game, what a rediculous statement to suggest otherwise. Shenmue 3 should make HL2 look old when it comes out (and if not, them something's wrong). Also, this game needs to be on all next gen consoles, either that, or pick one console as the Sega console, and support that one to the hilt with all the games, like Konami, and EA has done with a lot of success.
One thing Sega has to realize that these fanboys spewing crap about every rumor, interview and press release they put out hurts them severely (why else would some troll every Shenmue topic, to keep up the negativety ofcourse). I've seen many game series and companies that are considered industry jokes by a large section of these ingrates just have terrible sales recently, regardless if it's deserved or not. Blinx 2, All non Sonic Sega games (their graphics not up to par, nor are they large budget titles), VJ2, Acclaim games, and a couple others I cannot remember at the moment.
Seems to me that retailers and customers pay a lot of attention to fanboy sentiment (which includes the pro's at mags and websites). That does not bode well for any of Sega's future efforts regardless of the actual quality. The only way they can turn it around is to have their next gen games knock people's socks off in terms of graphics (and choice of games matter also). That's probably a less than 50/50 chance of happening as I don't feel any urgency comming from them. Heads should be rolling and major shakeups at Sega of America should be happening, at the very least.
Disco Stu, and Cockles, you guys are not funny. Amature comedians are embarrasing. Must feel nice to embrace the hive mind of fanboyism.
