I feel like now would be the perfect time for a Shenmue revival. It just makes sense for it to happen now.

y'know, shenmue's QTEs are actually quite alright, all things considered. they give you ample time to respond with a very bright and central visual cue along with the signature "DAH-DEET-DEET-DEET-DEET-DEET-DEET-DEET" audio to alert the player. it helps that the QTEs correspond to the buttons used during the FREE battle sequences, it ingrains a link between what is happening on screen and what button you're pressing.
even then quite a lot of them (especially in shenmue 2) allow you to fail them entirely and still continue with the game.

I would imagine the tears from SEGA would be worse when it bombs worse than a Platinum game.

I was never a massive Shenmue guy. I own it on Dreamcast but haven't played it for more than 20 minutes. Got tired of hearing "I see" every 2 seconds.
But I know a guy who would shit bricks if Shenmue 3 happened. He has an Xbox One but would buy any other console it released on.

WTF SEGA
If you give these guys Shenmue..... you better give me Skies
This ?
WHen did the trademark get renewed, do we have an exact date.
I mean, the only suspicious things are that the website is down and that E3 is soon.
It doesn't mean anything I know, but an exact date would be nice.
it probably is just coincidental that the renewal is happening this year and this close to E3
but
there have been more rumblings about shenmue 3 happening this year than for several years prior, yu suzuki is sort of back in the limelight and making appearances, sony and microsoft have opened themselves up for taking suggestions from gamers only to be flooded by demands for shenmue, and the shenmue website went down around a week ago...
combined with this comment from eurogamer:
i think... there's something coming

To those who continuously say Shenmue is dead, or to let it go etc. go and tell that to someone that cares. Us Shenmue fans DONT!!
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
kind of contradicts that ten year renewal rule, which means they would have renewed last year... but if news is breaking of the renewal being recent that doesn't make any sense
either way, both the shenmue and shenmue online trademarks are dead at the US patent/trademark office, not that the US trademark really means anything at this stage of the game, especially if something is actually being developed in japan
shenmue's trademark in the US didn't get filed until feb 1999, for example

You fucking tell 'em.
Something as special as Shenmue can't be given up on once experienced. It's one of a kind.
Ahh Shenmue .. it must be E3 again.
Don't want Shenmue HD cause it would sell like shit, just give us Shenmue 3 already.
You underestimate Shenmue fans, we'd all run out and buy WiUs.

going to have a brief attempt at dismantling any notion that it might be a japanese only mobile spin-off
when shenmue gai came around the trademark listed the title in japanese as シェンムー街, which made sense seeing as it was a japan only title
however, if this new trademark is using the romanisation of the title, that indicates they have intent on using whatever the trademark was made for in western markets
there's also the fact that the trademark isn't suffixed with something that indicates a spin-off, and it'd be... pretty fucking dark if sega were to name some mobile game just shenmue as an act of erasure against the original
if this has been done for a game, it's going to probably be a mainline title

No tears from Shenmue fans, I can assure you.
As unlikely as that is, I'd love to see that happen. In large part because I know that some people would rather see it become an iOS minigame than this.
Lmao.

Guys.
According to Shenmue500k Discussion regarding this screenshot of the trademark from Shenmuedojo.net the trademark filing is NEW. Not a renewal of an old trademark. Meaning, SEGA had to have actively filed for a brand new trademark.

Owing to its niche status. Sega proudly presents a co production between Microsoft Game Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment. Shenmue 3 coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2015.
