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

Sorry, there are actually 701 characters. Check it: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45398&p=1083202#p1082973

Well I stand corrected . Thought  SOJ offcial line was 350- to 500 full vocied NPC's, 1200 rooms and 150 musical pieces for the Shenmue project.

There are definitely WAY more than 150 pieces of music. More characters, though admittedly some are extras and not voiced. Room wise, I think that might be even a little low. BlueMue over at the Dojo does have the Kowloon building tours o his YouTube channel, but I would not want to count all of those rooms.

Did anyone else see the Shenmue Minecraft creation video? I was thinking, if they could make that with just one person, then why can't they make the new game with 3,000 people? Sure, it would cost money. Every other game does though. Shenmue III could be very profitable, if Sega makes the game right.

Minecraft is babby. Shenmue is not babby.

I don't care how rare or underrated a new Shenmue game would be. I WILL play it if it's released. I would even pay $1,000 for it.

Yeah but there isn't a single game I want more than Shenmue III and I wouldn't pay more than $250, and that would have to be some ultra souped up collector's edition.

SEGA isn't going to make or fund a Shenmue III and IV . People should just get over it now sadly

Quiet you Baka! I bet they are working on Shenmue Runners right now, exclusive to iOS and Android. Steam release coming in 2017.

I wouldn't be so sure. Maybe SEGA won't...

I hope it comes out on the CreamCast.

If it miraculously did get a release date, I don't see how they could make the game. I mean, what engine would it use?

Whichever one they wanted?

I already said previously that they would most likely use Unreal Engine 4. Though, it would be nice to see it on Luminous. Like Mademan said, it's really Sega's decision. Barry the Nomad, what are your thoughts on the engine?
