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

[MadeManG74]

Get ready.

Gio Corsi, head of PlayStation Third Party production and Developer relations just started following Yu Suzuki in Twitter (only follows 180 people).
Do did Geoff Keighly (sp?)

It's happening.
It's happening.
It's happening.
It's happening.
It's happening.

So going by everything that happened today...

...Yeah, I think we might actually see a Shenmue thing at E3. Guessing at Sony's press conference.

Yep, everyone get on the hype forklift, we're taking this baby all the way to LA.
No brakes.

I can't believe you people doubted it? Come on, WHERE'S THAT SEGA CHILD IN YOU?! It may have been cast out, set adrift in the oceans of Sonic 06, but now the time has come again my brothers and sisters, now we enter a new era, TOGETHER!

Remember the words of SEGA itself;

What the world expects of us
Is our pride.
Let's change the game
Let's gather our strengths
Be a Game Changer

SHENMUE IS HAPPENING.

(I may not be entirely serious)

No brakes.

Only dreams.

Dreams that become realities.

[Moody]

i know i was just doubting it but...okay come on everyone

[crackdude]

Guys, hold me

[MadeManG74]

If something Shenmue doesn't happen, the suicide rates are going to be off the charts.

I didn't said anything, mindful of the poor figure remedied last year when I announced the trademark registration of Shenmue III then proved fake, but about a week ago always on the site of the OHIM I spotted the registration of trademarks Shenmue and Shining Seed ...
so maybe sometimes dreams come true

If it is anything, its a HD remake which SEGA have been trying to focus on forawhile. Like they stated in press release: You will be seeing more digital games from SEGA West. It won't be III. We shall see

[matty]

I've never played Shenmue, so it would be cool to play a remaster release, but if it doesn't happen I don't mind, since I don't know what it really is.

Every tree needs a seed.

Every fire needs a spark.

Every legend needs a beginning.

Let's gather our strength, be a game changer... Forever more.

Weren't there persistent rumours that Sega canceled a Shenmue HD remake together with Skies of Arcadia HD, back when they also canceled Bayonetta 2? I guess could see Sony salvage the project, like Nintendo did for Bayonetta 2.

In any case, if there's an HD remake, I have to wonder if it can actually live up to expectations.

[crackdude]

An HD remake is pointless if the story still cuts short.

Yu should remake the whole thing as a single coherent modern masterpiece.

[George]

Yeah I agree, that is why I don't want SEGA just doing it to get their pockets full of cash. Its true though, its nice to see them at least test the market to see if there is still demand. But if there isn't I still think Shenmue fans will go crazy on social media denying it.

[Sharky]

If something Shenmue doesn't happen, the suicide rates are going to be off the charts.

I've already cut my wrists in preparation.
