Shenmue 3 delayed to 2nd half of 2018.

This. So much.
I'm glad it's official; the team have probably known for the past 12 months that it wouldn't make 2017, and the fans knew it, too. It puts me at easy, honestly, because there's no way that game is close to done.
The comment from Yu Suzuki and recently from Justin Bailey on how beautiful the game is gets me pumped as well.
I'd rather it be done right, and it gives people more time to catch up on the series and play Shenmue I & II HD, which will most definitely be announced at E3 (I hope).

You know, I could go through your post history and show how much of a freaking fanboy you are, but to be honest, you are not worth it. Just wanted to let you know.

Was expecting it earlier but it's better they take their time to make a good game at launch.

Unlikely. Sony almost certainly have limited exclusivity rights, and I doubt YSnet want an additional port eating into their budget when it couldn't even be released day one.

Not surprised, nor am I bothered. I'll wait as long as it takes for a game we never thought would happen, still a dream come true!

This game will release in 2019, first half of 2019.
I can wait for a good game.

I know this was already responded to a bunch of times, but holy hell 🙄

At the pace of the updates and what's being shown I wouldn't be surprised with around that time next year it gets delayed again to mid 2019 or later.

Not surprised and not worried. They need a little extra time and I would be just fine if it gets another push back to fall of 2018. I've waited so many years for this... Its going to be worth the wait.

SC deserves the outrage though. I trust Suzuki more than I do Roberts.
I have my doubts it will even release in 2018 but that's ok.
That's really the one game that needs all the time in the world.
I'm actually pretty sure that this game won't end up being that much but if there is that particle of hope it does end up being great then thy need time to perfect it.

Mmhm. Despite the huge boost of publicity Shenmue III got appearing at Sony's E3 in 2015, it has now become a popular target for console warrior wanks to get snarky about; conveniently forgetting that the game needed to be announced to be funded.
The updates aren't even a fraction of the work that's been done already. We know this from firsthand accounts.

March 2019 would be my bet

I'm looking forward to getting my signed artwork to frame too! Has there been any word on the rewards yet?

Not really surprised. Hopefully they can deliver the best game possible.
What comments?
I think this delay also bodes well in terms to how funding is going with the game. Either they are accomplishing more with the money they received and continue to receive or they maybe have more funding from undisclosed backers?
Either way, I hope this means they will be closer to their original vision at the end.

I assume he meant the video. Suzuki briefly expressed that the gane looks better than his original expectation thanks to new and updated tools.

I am not surprised.
Just make the game good.

It's also a game with a far larger and never before seen scope. The Star Citizen shitting started just 2 years into development. When Shenmue 3 comes out it'd have been with 3 years development time.
It's understandable that a game with a scope like Star Citizen takes 5 years or so, GTA takes that long and while Rockstar has proven themselves, the developments behind Star Citizen have proven themselves in the past as well even if they did so while working under different studios. Money alone won't make a development faster because as far as software design philosophies go putting more people to work on the same project doesn't necessarily always result in faster development.
