SEGAbits Shenmue III Hype Train! Update: Funded but lets go further!

[Barry the Nomad]

Hey guys, I've been at work updating the Shenmue III SEGA Retro (someday to be renamed SEGAbits Wiki) entry: http://segaretro.org/Shenmue_III

The franchise box below has been updated as well. I'd invite any of you to contribute to the wiki as details roll in. Of course, it will also require an edit once the Kickstarter wraps.

Quick work, Barry! I just looked at it a couple hours ago and all it said was "This is game not come out yet" or something similarly grammatically chunky.

Thanks! Yeah, it was annoying me to see the old UNRELEASED label. Once the dust settles, I'd like to see an expanded DEVELOPMENT section with mentions of the Saturn and Dreamcast and Xbox possibilities as well as hints leading to the Kickstarter. I also think this section will expand greatly over the next few years.


Interesting to note that the Japanese dub is all but confirmed, however we have not seen a mention of an English version. English and Japanese subs are a given, but only the Japanese Ryo actor is listed. I feel that they might not bring back the US cast to save money.

Out of interest, will the KS get the usually brief behind the scenes look most KS games do? That would be interested for something like Shenmue.

Sega Retro has whole lot of blank pages, is what I don't like about it. More consolidation would be better imo

Not sure if this would be of long-term interest for the article, but just for my own interest I'd like to compile a timeline of the clues that led up to the E3 announcement. Here are a few that I heard about in the days leading up to it...

*5/25 - Yu Suzuki re-activated his Twitter account
*5/26 - YS Twitter account shows him visiting with Wu Rensi Roshi
*6/11 - YS Twitter account shows picture of Las Vegas, indicating that he is on his way to E3 in LA
*6/14 - YS Twitter account shows picture of forklift at E3

Personally I was taking this all with a grain of salt. The first thing that really made me raise my eyebrow was when someone discovered that shenmue.com had been transferred to Amazon hosting a week or two prior to E3. However, as it turns out, shenmue.com still doesn't seem to load.

Of course, such a timeline could be expanded to cover the last several years of developments.

*1/25 - Yu Suzuki receives my gushing fan letter asking for Shenmue III, Suzuki finally decides to make the game because I said "please"

*Each day of past 14 years - I put my Shenmue discs on the ground and do a "Totoro dance" around them to "grow" Shenmue III

But wasn't Totoro death?

Are you saying that we all actually died on the 15th June 2015, and this is the afterlife? The righteous got Shenmue III announced, while the wicked got Fallout 4?


Aki-at was in the middle, so he got Shenmue III and Metroid Republic Commando or whatever that game is he hates.

Damnit, why do you have to make me choose?!

Isn't shenmue.link using the same servers?

[George]

It seems that Shenmue.link is created for the Kickstarter, not the game page.

New site looks cute.

It's the first thing you see on Google when you search "Shenmue 3 Kickstarter".

Can't wait for all the salty people

Seriously though, who CARES if Sony's being a bit shady with how they're doing this? That's like when people were upset that Notch was willing to fund Psychonauts 2 because it was mismanaging his funds.
