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

[Barry the Nomad]

Rumor has it that the HD ports have been completed for a while. Here's hoping whatever the holdup was has been cleared. Some say it is rights issues, but I can't imagine what right's issues there are (music maybe?). Or it could be that they wanted it ready for PS4 and XB1?

Who knows? It's probably the same deal with SNK's King of Fighters updates on Steam, they've been found on steam registries for more than half a year ago but they haven't so much as hinted to them yet.

I'm afraid those HD ports would make the same sucess as the Yakuza HD port.
Then the dream about Shenmue III would be buried again

OT: Really? I did not know about those KoF updates.
I was checking the news about Ultra Street Fighter IV and I thought "Hey, there could be a new content for KoF XIII as well".

[MadeManG74]

^It's not KoF XIII related, but King of Fighters 98 & 2k2 UM versions have been on the cards for some time. They were found on the steam registry at the same time XIII turned up, but nothing has been seen since.

If it were music, they'd just replace the offending tracks.

At any rate, next gen is here and E3 is coming up. If they're not announced, then the rumor was probably bogus.

They'd be your ticket to getting a third game if they do well enough. If they fail, at least the Shenmue community will quiet down, so that's a plus...

Didn't Yakuza HD fail because it was on Wii-U? That system is poison for sales of anything other than Mario.

The Wii U version failed yes. I recall some people were saying it was due to it being a late port but  we're saying late ports on the PS3 (From Xbox 360) PS4 and Xbox One all posting some impressive numbers whilst the Wii U continues to fail so you can chalk that down due to the system (Also IIRC the Playstation 3 port managed to sell over 100,000 units)

I'd also say Wii U is poison for Mario too though, people tend to forget the Mario game(s) are bundled with the console.

Big Third-Party Xbox One Exclusive

A reliable source has confirmed that Microsoft is going to have at least one "big" third-party exclusive reveal during their stage show. We don't know the exact game, but our source said the game is both something "unexpected" and "something people will be really excited about."

Which game comes to your mind? haha

Half Life 3.

Half Life 3.

I can't imagine HL3 being exclusive to Xbox One...especially after all the Steam partnership with Sony/Playstation 3. Guessing it's gonna be a bit more oddball than that.

It'll be something that appeals to dudebros, this is Microsoft we are talking about. It's possibly even Mortal Kombat 10.

Or something like a new Medal of Honor.

[Centrale]

Beyond Good and Evil 2? Well, at least I hope so.

^We know, but we are being realistic

Maybe like 10 years ago, sure.
