Approximately four hours until it begins.

I may not be on the grid when it happens. If that is the case, I want to wish you all the very best of luck. Know that you are loved. Know that our love will be repaid by Yu Suzuki.

I will do my best to connect with you, but if not, I will see you on the other side, brothers.

The Holy Grail of SEGA games actually has a possible chance of being announced later??


Gah! I recently threw out my Shenmue 3 Hype Emergency Kit! How will I be prepared for this? HOW??

No one thinks its Shenmue 3, we think its a Shenmue type announcement. Most likely a HD port, I very highly doubt its III when only 1.5 million people played it 15 years ago.

That is basically setting it up for failure.

1.5 million isn't enough?  :P


Even if there weren't enough people back then who played it, over the years the series (and potential third game) has gained a sort of legendary status. Even people who haven't played the first 2 will obviously consider checking out a potential third due to the sheer amount of discussion it gets online.


Yes, it could be a port of the first 2 games, but why would SEGA port an unfinished story-based series if there wasn't even enough interest for a third? It's not entirely out of the question.

An hd remix has a lot lower expectations, is cheaper and builds hype and an audience for a possible third.

YouTube is also streaming the event.

Also disappointed? I think you mean joyous celebration!

Now the true bet is WHEN will Shenmue come in the conference. My bet's near the end, but I could totally see it coming right in the middle.

Also Barry you put an interesting suggestion but there is only one flaw in your thinking. You are saying there is a possibility that there isn't Shenmue at E3.

We cannot entertain such blasphemous thoughts! We must feel in our hearts, in our very DNA, you could say, OUR SEGA DNA, that Shenmue will be there. Nay we must forgo all doubt, all insecurities and our collective will will cause Shenmue to exist. This is our time, twenty minutes from now. Our birthright, our destiny!

It has begun.

They wouldn't show that off in the beginning.

I screamed like genuinely because I thought it was Shenmue.
