Just watched the postmortem again for hype.

"As the conversation with the customers today centers around the content that we have, that's the majority of my focus. And we're talking to developers about the next thing they want to be doing on Xbox."
Spencer said the biggest request he hears from Xbox owners is that gamers want Microsoft to bring back Shenmue, Sega and Yu Suzuki's unfinished action adventure epic. "The big Shenmue contingency," he said with a laugh, has definitely managed to garner his attention.
As much as hate to admit it, this has some chance to come to Xbox.
I would sooner it come to WiiU than XBO tbh.

Spencer has stated several times that he and MS cnt build Shenmue, and that he'd rather focus on first party titles.
In regards to what console shenmue should be on, who cares. We'll whatever we can get at this point.

I want it wherever it goes. You should too!
Was right with you up until N-Gage... but, no. Fuck that, lol.

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.
doesn't that just mean that the original tardemark expired and they had to file a new one to protect their IP?
why would they let it expire and leave it for 6 months then do a new one 2 weeks before E3?

Wait an hour before talking to another sailor, or buy a shenmue coin to skip!
I can't afford an XBO nor do I want one, but if it went there I would have to get one :'(

well,their rights to the series did expire some months ago..there was a news about it...even though now that I check, it was in NA,not in japan
read back through the thread, I already pointed out their japanese one expired 20/8/13

one more reason for this to be just a renewal...if they are showing it to E3,it's not like they started development today...so it wouldn't make sense for them to let expire the rights for a franchise if they have a game of said franchise in development at the same moment.
i really can't see sony putting money on the table for shenmue...they are winning hands down at the moment,so they don't have to risk some serious money just for a shock announcement...
The only meltdowns that would occur from any console getting it exclusive, will be from people who care more about console wars than actually playing Shenmue 3.
I don't think the Japanese Shenmue trademark had expired yet.
Edit: Or maybe it has.
Still this doesn't seem to be a renewal of an old trademark but an entirely new trademark.

I hope you guys are ready for Shenmue 1&2 for tablets sitting next to GTA 3/VC/SA.
According to another gaffer Shenmue 1 & 2 HD are done, they just wouldnt pay the licencing for the engines/tools etc to release it. I imagine if any company was going to make an announcement it's going to be mostly that
I dont think Sony see this gen being about "winning", their stated goal is to get back to PS1/2 days of game diversity
neither you nor I nor anyone here has a position where our anecdotes about hype mean anything. The people who do have such a position like Adam Boyes and Phil Spencer have all said Shenmue is very highly demanded. dont bother coming back with "yeah but that's just vocal people on twitter" if that's your argument you can sit in the corner with the Type-0 fans crying about how Tales didnt have any hype. Sony have already proven to listen to actual voices not some ethereal idea of "hype"
I just cannot imagine what would happen if this happens.

Shenmue 3 to be exclusive to the Wii U.
Shenmue 1+2 adapted to the 3DS.
Edit: I'd love to be on board.

Biggest Shenmue meltdown since DC collapsed.

I want to ride.
It's real in that it has been started and stopped at least twice before.
Define "very high demand" and tell me, how can Sony and Microsoft actively measure "demand"?
Let's see:
1. They can see people asking for Shenmue on forums.
2. Like it or not, they can check their twitter.
3. They can ask a few thousand people in some kind of online survey.
Now, let's say that Sony or Microsoft do this and get confirmation from a few thousand people asking for a new game.
Shenmue would need to sell millions of copies to be a success. Did Sony or Microsoft ask millions of people whether they would buy the game? Of course they didn't.
Now, considering that both Shenmue games were commercial failures (and that is precisely why Shenmue 3 was never made), please explain to me this expectation of wild success for eventual sequel or reboot.

Nintendo has a great partnership with Sega. If they are clever they would make a new Shenmue exclusive for WiiU
I don't know if old, saw this at shenmuedojo.com
The ryo DLC for that sonic racing game, look at the plate.
Reads "Shen 3".
The dlc got released in january 2014, not so long ago.
subliminal hint? /tinfoil hat
Also, the shenmue.com website is still down.
Someone translated the filing and it encompasses many platforms (it's a typical game filing) : from console, portable to PCs . It's a template basically.

Platform debates aside.
If there is going to be a new release it seems likelier to be an upgraded port a la Perfect Dark XBLA of the two titles.
And frankly, it seems the better course of action given that a full third installment is comparatively more financially risky while the ports would be a safer investment and can test the waters.

hold it cowboy
the original shenmue was a million plus seller (the budget is what made it 'fail')
the second might have done the same if the dreamcast hadn't been dead in the water by the time of release or if it was released on ps2 instead of xbox
considering that gamers are a lot more accepting of story-based and slower paced titles than ever before, coupled with the fact that shenmue is the ultimate cult following game (and now that duke nukem forever is out/ffv13 is now ff15 it's the last great gaming white whale), why couldn't it be a success (if even a limited one')?
