It's interresting how Sega will move forward tough...no more "hey Shenmue III" from people when they announce stuff.

Well that's about par for the course being a Sega fan, isn't it?

Sega has been out of the spotlight for so many years now...this is the biggest presence of something Sega related since...2002?

youre clearly forgetting the matrix online! Now THAT was a big announcement.

Merged the two topics so we can have our MEGA Shenmue III topic that we have always dreamed of.

So I imagine it's time for some younger game-bloggers start making posts about how they tried Shenmue and it's boring, and totally over-rated.

Can't wait for all the salty people saying "Shenmue isn't even that good" along with "who even cares about Shenmue anymore" and "why is Shenmue getting a sequel when [x series] hasn't!"

At least it will unite all Segadom.

I wonder when Joe and TA will begin fighting.

It's valid to claim that Shenmue is clunky, mostly dull, and repetitive... but hot damn, I love it regardless. I love getting lost in that world.

It seems that Sony confirmed that they're actually involved with the game's funding/development: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1064673

Well damn. This game is going to be expanded like there's no tomorrow now.

Kickstarter question addresses non windows segment. A plus in my book, though admittedly it isn't the one I wanted to hear, it is good non the less.

Also quite strange for sony to be helping fund it and not give a physical option, but maybe it will come later?

This happens every time someone brings up Shenmue. Some guy comes in and is like 'Shenmue was never good, it's boring and the voice acting is bad, sailors sailors sailors etc etc'.

I feel like, yes there are a lot of weak aspects, but my god the game is so much more than the sum of it's parts.

[jonboy101]

Well this isn't particularly surprising, but still welcome.




I really hopes this means more from Yu Suzuki.
