Wait, Yuji Naka quit after Sonic 1 which was developed in Japan, but then Cerny convinced him to work with him in America for Sonic 2?!
Wow.
Come on Cerny, do it again with Suzuki and Shenmue!
Yu Suzuki and Mark Cerny talk Shenmue III strategy?!
- Thread starter Mifune
- Start date

I'd buy a PS4 for even a spiritual successor.
Which is the best I think we can hope for.

Reminds me that Shenmue had one amazing soundtrack, wish I owned it.

Half Life 3 threads are forgivable since we all know the game is coming eventually, Shenmue 3 threads are just masochistic and sad.

Well I'm not a huge fan of the Shenmue series. I got bored mid way through.... I will support anything to get Yu Suzuki back into AAA form again.
Also if anyone is listening can we get a port of Psy-Phi already? PSVita would be amazing, hell I'd buy a Wii-U for this title, I miss playing it in the arcade.

ajim is the only truth-teller here.
current sega wouldn't agree with you either, because current sega doesn't seem to know shenmue exists

I don't blame current Sega for burying the past, since Shenmue helped lead them to financial ruin. Besides, Ryo's story is misguided at best. I'm still waiting on proof that his dad didn't deserve to die.

Not discounting the guy (if you look at the PS4 reveal thread I actually mentioned he was the best thing about the conference). It is just that the list of games he worked on is a whole slew of average to just-above average titles attached to mediocre franchises. Ratchet and Clank? Jak? Decent games...fun, varied but certainly nothing that has changed gaming much as we know it. He looks like he will do good for Sony next gen, though.

hey beefy, someone's treating wrestling as though it's viable entertainment over in OT, you should get on that
they're good games, and there's a lot on what he & ND did with Crash that was crazy innovative for the time. he's been on a slew of widely successful titles, though if you're hung up on the "game changer" thing, much of his contributions can be attributed to input and working with both east and western teams...honestly, i think he wasn't as well known because he wasn't big on being in the spotlight until the PS4 reveal.
either way, i'm saying many developers would kill to have that resume.

Every developer would. He's a game developers game developer.

I just can't man. Lan Di needs to die! *cries*
You actually got to play that? Wasn't it just local tested in Japan in unfished state, and then cancelled? You should give us more full impressions here, its rare to get someone who actually played Segas Lindbergh games, aside from HotD 4 and After Burner Climax. Stuff like Sega Race TV, 2Spicy and Psy-Phi...FFS just give us ports Sega!!

I want to uppercut Lan Di into some spikes already. Ryo's revenge fantasy is long overdue.
Yes, I realize that Ryo will see that his quest for revenge was wrong in the end, and become a jedi master, or some shit. But I wanna rip Lan Di's head off!
Uh? AM2 is one of the best studios in the World, why would he lead UFG instead?

I don't mean to slag off the guy, but be honest, that list of games isn't very impressive.
Most of them are mediocre at best, while others such as Killzone 3 were worse than the previous games.
Two games that popped out for me were Marble Madness and Sonic 2, but he only was a producer on Sonic 2 so I'm not seeing how that was such a big deal.
It does seem like he was the big factor at getting Yuji Naka back to Sega, so that certainly was something.
From that interview he did with EA, I do understand that he's a very smart and capable person, but perhaps his expertise lies more on the technical side of things than on the gameplay side.
Again, looking at the titles on that list, not much sticks out as truly brilliant or innovative games. And I certainly wouldn't call Crash Bandicoot "crazy innovative"... Different strokes I guess.
He thinks he can get a license.
It's ridiculous. The answer, if there would be one in the first place, would be: "Just two old friends having lunch."
well i think he's different to most. the typical big names in gaming are people like yu suzuki who are creative director types, for them looking at a list of games they made is useful as they are reflections of their vision. as such it's easy to pin down why they are so great; suzuki came up with and lead development of games like space harrier, virtua fighter 2 and shenmue, therefore he's obviously he's brilliant
on the other hand cerny is much more of a collaborator, i listened to an interview with him on the insomniac podcast where he talked about how he consciously chose in starting his own consulting company to give himself more freedom to pitch in different areas instead of having a lead role which gives him more responsibility for the overall game quality. so i think that list is less helpful.
also despite that smaller role, his list of achievements is still impressive; working to get sonic 2 made by convincing naka to stay at sega and set up the best team to make it happen; building two high quality series in crash and spyro in choosing the right partners, making sure they were properly supported by universal, helping the young teams make good games; coming up with a design method of building a very playable prototype, seeing if its good then deciding whether to make from there which was popular, programming on jak and daxter - the seamless world was incredibly impressive on early ps2; design work on a bunch of very good games, if not great, from a range of genres; tech work with the naughty dog ice team which helped make first party ps3 games look so good. and now he's helping build a whole new console platform and getting lots of praise for his approach.
so really it's more an accumulation of things from a wide variety of areas that makes him worthy of praise than a specific great achievement.

Ooooh, I got it!
What if they're discussing making Shenmue for the Vita! They definitely wouldn't have to break the bank on funding. I bet a lot of people would purchase one just for this game. Plus, if AC3L can sell over 600,000 then a Shenmue should be able to crack the million barrier.
Thoughts?

Congrats, you have successfully come up with a scenario even less likely to happen than Shenmue III coming to PS4.
I will beat up every single person involved in the decision if Shenmue 3 is released on a freaking handheld.
