No posting download links on the forums please. ;)

I appreciate the "please." It's just that I don't understand how you can complain about me not playing the game, then not want me to play the game. Is it just a random pointless rule for the forums or something like that?

Google search it or hit eBay. I would love it if you played the game, but we just don't want members publically posting download links no matter how old the games. You're free to PM each other.

Pcm92, I am sure that if you actually PLAY THE GAMES, then you will finally wonder why there is not a Shenmue III. Shenmue II was left on what you might call a cliffhanger. There have been many statements as to why Shenmue III would not actually work.

1. Budget.

This is probably the most common response. I think it would cost about as much as any other Sega game, and most of the games they have been making lately have not sold much, so sales should not really be a problem either.

2. Interest.

People might not be as interested in the Shenmue franchise as they used to be. That does not mean anything as to their interest in the future. Street Fighter:2 was a success. Most people have never even played Street Fighter:1. I am not sure if there even is one.

3. Modern technology.

Actually this is more of an advantage, so I am not sure what people were thinking with this one. I mean, graphics and download content would be amazing.

There would be no other Sega game better than Shenmue III. It would be the greatest Sega release of all time!

Why did you post three links about old Shenmue 3 rumors that all turned out to either be fake or not about Shenmue 3?

I am interested in this post-mortem on Shenmue at GDC at least.

She Mute?

Shenmue III is probably not going to happen. I don't know for sure because I don't work for Sega. I highly doubt that it will though because it has been so long since they released the second one. BTW, why did you post on a thread that has not been posted in since September? Those links go to websites that have nothing to do with actual news. The first link says it is fake. The other links are speculation from last year. I wonder why anyone would think to post old links or links that even say they are false. I guess you just wanted to revive your thread, right? Of course, there was another thread created just like this one. It was not too long ago. You could have posted valid information in the new thread. Even posting the invalid links in the new thread would have made more since.

Yu Suzuki will be interviewed about the future of the Shenmue series next month. He will most likely say that it will not be continued. That is just what I think though. Take a look at the following link for yourself:

That is definitely just what you think. I bet you did not even watch the video, did you?

How does he know and why does he think that Yu owns the IP?

I find it hard to believe they'll announce anything new during this presentation.  God I'd love to be wrong but I just can't see it happening.

Yu Suzuki does not own the IP. The website says that the GDC meeting will be held from March 17-21. It also says that Yu Suzuki will be interviewed during that time about future gaming ideas. It says that they will ask him about what will happen to the future of the Shenmue franchise. I just thought I would let everyone know that they should check to see what happens after the interview, if they want to know about the future of Shenmue.
