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.
dont get me so excited damn you!!! :'(

I'm gonna die!

Shenmue this year or bust.

If anything I'm thinking Sony might go for a one GAF crash a year, so TLG /Shenmue 3 one year and the other one the following.
 
As much as I am very intrigued to play Shenmue HD collection since the setting is perfect for me, does the actual gamplay hold up at all? And I don't mean the QTEs.
Are consumers actually willing to play tank-controlled games?
Would it change the game dynamic for the better or worse, if they would get rid of tank-controls for a more direct input?
Would the fans, who actually want this remake/port buy, if the game was changed?

Shenmue fans are fucking hopeless, and this comes from someone who adores his Dreamcast copy.

The dream is dead people....just cherish the memories. And potential HD remakes.

You and your post are what's hopeless. The rest of us Shenmue fans are hopeful

and us Mega Man fans will be there to give our shoulders for you... all the while hating you cause at least you got an HD remake of one.

You guys got Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10. Take a seat! :p

I could see MS fully funding this as their big Japanese Game. It'd certainly be one of the few games that could counter a potential Project Beast/TLG/Uncharted Trio and it'd bring a lot of attention to the X1 from the core audience. Still, I don't know if Sega would go for it, and who knows, maybe Sony funded it. Or maybe it's on both. Or more likely, it means nothing and it doesn't exist.

Sega would likely go for any deal that doesn't involve them paying for it, even if only to shut the rest of us up finally.

Shenmue countering a Project Beast/TLG/Uncharted trio?

... Shenmue?

SHENMUE?

Thread's taking crazy pills. That game is beyond niche.

I like how Shenmue is brushed aside as something nobody outside of a niche audience would give a shit about, whilst TLG is constantly cited as an instant E3 winning event. Ico and SoTC had comparable/worse sales than Shenmue whilst having the fucking PS2 audience to sell to...

If you give these guys Shenmue..... you better give me Skies

You guys got an ending. Take a seat! :p
 
Oh man, I remember how years ago I visited the shenmue dojo website daily hoping for some scrap of shenmue 3 news. After losing hope so many times, could it actually finally be happening??
 
Bloodborne: action rpg with demons souls vibe. Real name of beast souls maybe
otoiine: small scale artsy game
Run yankee spirit: mobile infinite runner
xuccess heaven: jrpg
mh4g: codname for re7
shenmue: shenmue. Multi-plat

The majority of them (except Shenmue and MH) sounds like mobile or arcade games to me. I REALLY hope, they finally make Shenmue HD versions

Also, MH4G is obviously a Monster Hunter version for Nintendo or Sony.

minor update on the website scenario via shenmue dojo:

sega suffered a cyber attack which resulted in a few sites being down, however shenmue.com was not listed as one of the affected sites. functionality has returned to the affected sites, whereas shenmue.com is still down.

so... there's something happening with the website at least.
 
I would laugh so hard if Sega renewed the trademark just to make sure that Yu Suzuki couldn't do anything with it

And then I'd cry

Didn't they let Shenmue expire? This is probably just a normal corporation move to keep their IP trademarked and not an indication they will ever do anything with it.

Reads Ace as Lace. May God have mercy on their soul
would be awesome if Sega releases Shenmue 1 & 2 HD this year for based Ps4,and shenmue 3 next year too..

As expected Run! Yankee-Spirit is a "new" SE mobile title:

That is an awesome trailer/intro :O

They would have to rework the controls, tank controls would put most people off 20 mins in.
 
If Shenmue 3 were actually announced, anyone with the gall to complain about its platform should be permabanned.

Seriously. Even if it is an N-Gage exclusive.
