That quote was from Abraham Lincoln who was paraphrasing something Albert Einstein once said. Come on now.

Non-news. This was never coming out in 2017.

Ah shit, my bad fam I get quotes mixed up
I had no idea it was supposed to and I'm a backer. But take your time, make my first Shen Mue experience a good one.
Edit: Unless there's remasters coming before that, will play those first.

I was never expecting the game in 2017 so this is not surprising. I also don't expect it 2018 but if it did I could see September 2018.

Well, hopefully they can get a remaster of the first two within that gap.
Seems pretty believable to me.

As a backer, wouldn't surprise me if it gets pushed into 2019.
Make the best damned game you can, Suzuki and co.

The Kickstart was announced in 2015, and that's not a simple game. People expectations about it are immense, so they need to do tons of work to make it right and to make it feel a true successor of such a famous franchise.
Not surprised in the slightest. But I think they should never have anounced it for the end of 2017, that was clearly unachievable.

Shocking!!!!
What's the deal with this game again? PS4 console exclusive, but also coming to PC? I honestly can't remember.
This is also why I like Sony E3 Press Conferences the least. The announce shit way too far in advance. Both FF7remake and this were announced the same year, yet both seem to have trouble in development? Who knew!?

Unsurprising and I have no problem with this.
What trouble? The kick starter was announced and there was no game at that point. They were in pre production at best and hadn't even gotten the full development team up and running. These things take time in the best situations especially starting from scratch like this game was.
In fairness to them, the December 2017 window was set before the Kickstarter launched, and they had no idea of the overwhelming, record-breaking support that was coming.
PC and PS4, yes.
But you're having a lapse of logic over the reveal, had to be announced to get funded so I'm not sure why you have a problem with that.
Not sure why you're categorising this as trouble in development either. If the size and scope of the game expanded (as is probably with a game that got triple its original budget), then a delay is only natural to accommodate.
It's almost like you have some kind of console warrior axe to grind. Hm...

There was another thread that already debunked this theory.

Thanks. I thought it was coming to PC. No console warrior axe to grind. If all consoles do well, gamers benefit. Nothing wrong there. I'm just not the biggest fan of announcements of games so far in advance is all. I do remember now that Shenmue 3 was different, as it was an announcement of a kickstarter.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
At least show some progress, game play, trailer, anything at E3 guys ..
If it was shovelware, it wouldn't have been delayed.
That's normally what you say after an unimpressive content reveal. Pulling it out after a release date change that very much fits with a normal game development timeline is being too pessimistic.

Do you mean vaporware?
It wouldn't surprise me if Suzuki scrapped all the work done in the early stages of development because he was unhappy with it. That's just the kind of guy he is.

It's pretty believable and expected.
No worries. I'm just a bit suspicious of "announced too early" arguments, as it's something console warriors have been using recently.
They already said they're not participating in game shows in the coming months and are devoting time to development.
And frankly, now we know the release is at the very least a year away, they can kick the reveal can down the road a bit longer. In the end I think we'd all rather have them keeping their heads down working. Make hay while the sun is shining and all that shit.
I don't think you know what that word means.

My only hope with is like others have said, we get HD remaster of the first two games this year instead.

Take all the time you need Yu!
UE4. Dunno what version, but I expect they're migrating to the latest version periodically and making use of new features.
Cool, thanks. I had no idea it was UE4.
