Whoops, I went 3 hours in wrong direction, 5 PM eastern is correct.

 

[Nicktendo86]

My heart can't take this anymore so not getting my hopes up.

 

[IrishNinja]

OP again updated with links for the GDC livestream - thanks again Jcgamer60, great work as ever!

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

Its gonna be so awesome experiencing the live stream with all of you. While the chances of a Shenmue announcement are slim, experiencing the event as a community will definitely put a smile on my face.

 

[IrishNinja]

ugh, i'm gonna be stuck at work, too...gonna try my best to break away & find a PC before 5p!

 

[Sushigod7]

Oh man I can't believe this, even a slim possibility is better than nothing.

 

[Lasthope106]

How in the hell did I miss this thread?! OMG takemymoney.jpg

 

[Pyrrhus]

Expect nothing, friends. If nothing is announced, you aren't disappointed. If the extremely unlikely occurs, it can be a surprise.

I am honestly trying.. but this thread is making it impossible.

I thought I was over this...

Pfft, expect nothing? We have for the first time in a long time a legitime shot of something actually happening! I’m definitely going in expecting something, but at the same time I’m not gonna cry a river if nothing gets announced. Sure I’ll absolutely be disappointed, but I’m willing to feel that disappointment for the sake of having some hope. Anyway, for me it will start at 8:00am...so I’ll be setting my alarm. No way in hell am I missing this! If something was to be announced and I missed it live after all these years of waiting and imagining it in my head I’d be devastated. Also, another thread absolutely must be made for the stream.

you sure? we got the link in the OP now, if there's no major announcements it's just gonna invite drive-by shitting on it

 

[Synth]

Yea I agree. When it turns out to be nothing but crushed hopes, we're going to need each others support in here. I'll be way too fragile to survive a more open thread, lol.

It's going to be great. Can't wait.

Defnitely, lol.

Rather just keep it all here.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I've been praying every night for weeks. Hoping, praying, that we get good news.

 

[Maligna]

Pretty sure the OPM article there was teasing the Arkham Knight reveal.

 

[Elfforkusu]

I love this gif so much.

 

[Haines]

Best we will get is a 1 and 2 rerelease

 

[Soleil rouge]

Best we will get is a 1 and 2 rerelease

I wouldn't even be mad. If those sell well, there's always a chance for S3 down the road.

 

[Haines]

True but in reality won't even get that

 

[v0rtikal]

oh come on, we will get 1 and 2 HD for sure, somehow.... think positive

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

You guys are no fun. With this much potential I think it deserves its own thread. It’s big news no matter what the outcome might be.

And having a separate thread for possibly some crazy megaton reactions would be great.....Shenmue deserves the extra spotlight.

 

[Trojan X]

Better?

All good! I like that one.

I wonder how much support Yu Suzuki will receive if he kickstarts Shenmue 3 with Kickstarter? I got a funny feeling there will be some incredible whale contributors for that title.

 

[Anteater]

hmm, Shenmue VR tech demo would make a lot of sense though

Reuse old assets, add new lighting/shadows and post processing effects, let people run around and interact with objects and play arcades.

 

[flozuki]

Hahaha, Hype level is rising, good feeling, even if we get nothing like an announcement ^^

Looking forward to the speech of Yu Suzuki about the creation of Shenmue =)

 

[ajim]

I have a little hype, but I always do. And there is always some hope that Shenmue will get a new release.

However, hindsight is a powerful thing, and my hindsight tells me getting too excited will only lead to me being more disappointed.

I agree with the people saying this is a post-mortem. Just talking about Shenmue as it was.

And after that post about Shenmue HD and Skies of Arcadia HD being canned due to low sales of Nights and Jet Set Radio... I don't have much hope.

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

I really hope we don't get the typical Yu Suzuki response to Shenmue 3.

"It circumstances are right, i really would like to make it" or starts to tilt his head suspiciously. etc etc

 

[OnionPowder]

I've been burned so many times from getting hyped over Shenmue that I'm going to keep my expectations in check this time. Just going to be excited for an interesting talk about the development of the game now.

 

[kidfresh718]

I would be happy with 1-2 shouldnt be hard...

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

Just a heads up about the GDC. If anyone wants to interact with me and some of the other Shenmue dojo members in real time during the event, visit the following link.

http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/chat.php

Hope to see you there

 

[Yasae]

In honor of the upcoming talks: http://ge.tt/4rAysHR1?c

A take on an old classic in mp3 form.

 

[Jomjom]

This is very level headed and I hope everyone had this mindset. I don't want to see a bunch of itsfuckingnothing.gifs and "fuck that Cerny guy!" after the panel.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Am I working it out right that the postmortem will be 9pm GMT?

 

[DashReindeer]

I'm going to the postmortem tomorrow even though it has nothing to do with the games I am working on! So excited to see what Yu Suzuki has to say. One of my favorite games ever, and such an incredible achievement at the time. I'll see if there are any good photo ops.

 

[Jcgamer60]

Check the link below. It's 9pm in the UK.

Be sure to ask about Shenmue HD, Shenmue 3, and Shenmue/ps4

 

[Boogybro]

So this is starting now. Is there a live stream for it?

 

[shwimpy]

So this is starting now. Is there a live stream for it?

24 hours from now.

 

[Boogybro]

lol! Guess I'm way too hyped for this.

 

[Maligna]

This needs the image of Ryo's "Shen3" license plate in Sonic All-Star racing transformed.

 

[AlwaysPlaying]

We're basically under 24hrs off from this:

or this...

 

[Mr. RPG]

Guys.

I just beat Shenmue II a few minutes ago for the first time. The last thing the game said was "The story goes on..."

I cried. I can't wait for tomorrow. I can't wait for Shenmue III. It's coming. The story must go on. It has to.

I'm so hyped.

Yu Suzuki will end tomorrow with "...and the story goes on in Shenmue III for PlayStation 4."

 

[Josh7289]

Shenmue III is not happening. But I'm looking forward to the Shenmue postmortem tomorrow because I like the game.

 

[Maligna]

I'm telling you guys, he's gonna announce a kickstarter for his spiritual Shenmue sequel. Ala Mega Man/Mighty No. 9.

 

[Scribble]

I'm telling you guys, he's gonna announce a kickstarter for his spiritual Shenmue sequel. Ala Mega Man/Mighty No. 9.

Death and rebirth!

 

[sakipon]

I'm telling you guys, he's gonna announce a kickstarter for his spiritual Shenmue sequel. Ala Mega Man/Mighty No. 9.

For Mega Man it works, it's similar enough. For Shenmue I think the story is too important... it might be more difficult for people to get attached to a replacement.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I think he's going to announce the completion and relaunch of the Shenmue MMO.

 

[ajim]

Guys, there wont be any announcements. Come on. Don't do this to yourselves. It hurts! :'(
