Hip Hop Gamer talks Shenmue + interviews for Alpha Protocol
« on: February 07, 2010, 07:03:43 pm »
I have no idea what to think of this guy, I know George LOVES him. So lets see!

Hip hop gamer says Sega are considering Shenmue, but their umming and eering about how to bring it back.

According to him, they would like to do it but are unsure of how they would go about it, how to bring it back to the market and make it a sucsess.

He also interviews some Sega REP about Alpha Protocol, no footage.


It's pretty early on in this video, starts about 2:40

Have a funny feeling he might just be echoing what Sega said in Famitsu.

I am not sure, but has Hip Hop Gamer ever been reliable?

Well I really would take Shenmue III any way I could take it, but I would hope they could rerelease the first two together or something as well.

He didn't say anything knew, its basically what we heard in the Famitsu interview...
If Sega decided to bring back Shenmue, then they should bring back Yu Suzuki...
Shenmue without Suzuki won't be Shenmue.

I went to his chat room and asked if his predictions were reliable and ever came true, the overall responce seemed to be '60% of the time.'

They seemed to all agree that if it doesnt come true it could also be that plans changed inside the company, but then again he could just be a bullshiter and their his fanboys... Who knows.


Also Pao, Yu Suzuki is still at Sega...

I love Hip Hop Gamer, not because he is a good news source, but because he is way over the top. He gets excited for anything and its funny. "OH DAWG DAT SHIT IS CRAZY RETARDED."  :lol:

I know, but who can guarantee he will work at Shenmue 3?

I'd get Shenmue III no matter how expensive it was. So much more then your average game,it was an experience.

Hip Hop gamer also said they might be bringing Shinobi back in the Bayonetta engine a while ago...

So based on both of those bits of news I really hope hes not full of shit and custard.

Not going to happen. PG owns the engine and wouldn't give it away for another IP especially when they plan to use it for the sequel and a purposed spin off. All Sega owns would be the IP and gamecode. Of course it depends if they (PG)would want to create a shinobi game(doubtful). Sega can't tell them to do this or that in what games to create since they wanted to have a certain level of creative freedom which sega promised them. So no Shinobi. Anyway if it was i development it was shopped around to some western companies a few years back.

As for Shenmue, according to Sol from SD they got the game assets for Ryo from AMplus which is Yu suzuki's division so obviously he'll be involved if they planned a shenmue game.

Probably because they want to work on their own ideas. And this is the Itagaki thing all over again when people wanted him to do  a shinobi game once he joined sega(not saying that he has) without realising that Shinobi and ninja gaiden are two different games in style and execution.

I don't think there is any need for them to do a Shinobi game anyway. Overworks is still an extremely competent studio, and I would frankly prefer that they handled something as important as Shinobi internally.

Exactly. Probably won't stop Sega West doing a version though if its still up for "western interpretation."
