Besides being excited for this, I'm also just really happy for Yu Suzuki. He really deserves this.

Most likely helped YS Net get the license from SEGA to use in the game and is probably helping them with tools. I don't think lots of people here understand that YS Net is very small company. I assume someone at Sony's 3rd party relations is helping them with porting to PS4.

The last game they made was over 5 years ago and it was Shenmue City which didn't get much acclaim.

This is my only worry, but if there is one developer I believe in then it is Yu Suzuki.

To be front and centre at E3 after so many years must be something special.

When it seemed his star had faded... That is when it shone the brightest.

THE DREAM IS ALIVE.

Well I'm off. Too hyped to be sitting down at a computer.

Time to hit the streets with a sandwich board to collect money for that $10,000 pledge.

Later everybody.

Lost opportunity? Maybe, but outside of the Yakuza team all their console teams capable of making Shenmue III are working on bigger franchises than Shenmue, just plain fact.

[Mariano]

Thread is in wrong category. Sega has nothing to do with this, and I'm fucking pissed that this is the case.

Agree it Seems the case, SEGA put the IP, but i doubt they will do some of the development.


Anyway i am glad for you guys 

[Radrappy]

I'm confused.  Does sega have nothing to do with this?

[George]

You don't believe a Sonic the Hedgehog is bigger? Sonic Boom sold more than Shenmue 2 and that is considered a bomb by many. So, yeah, Sonic the Hedgehog is a bit bigger than Shenmue franchise.

[Aki-at]

Do you really think Shenmue is bigger than Sonic the Hedgehog? Really?

[Barry the Nomad]

SEGA owns the IP, they allowed YS Net and that Shibuya developer to make the game. Not sure we will see the usual SEGA cameos via capsule toys and arcade machines. Then again, the game is in the wilderness so it makes sense for the setting at least.

To be given a spot at the conference for the kickstarter has to mean something.

[Sharky]

I don't think AM2 is working on Sonic the Hedgehog.

Yu Suzuki is above SEGA here. He is for all intents and purposes, literally SEGA if SEGA was a human.

I am glad this is happening and happy SEGA respected and gave Yu Suzuki the license, now it is upto the fans to prove Shenmue III should be a thing.

Neither Sony nor SEGA have a hand in this. SEGA gave Suzuki the IP and Sony promoted the Kickstarter, this is all Suzuki.

[SuperSonicEX]

They're working on Miku.

I get that SEGA have bigger games to make, money wise... But the fact that they cant see that Shenmue is so incredibly important and worth it is incredibly disheartening. I hope this game gets way past any imaginable stretch goal because money is all SEGA gives a shit about anymore and I hope they don't see a penny of it.
