Don't fucking tease us

 

[rvy]

I hope someone bans the word Shenmue from the internet.

I can't take it.

 

[Boulotaur2024]

What about an HD collection? (lol not gonna happen)

This is the closest you can get :

[Stone Ocean]

So is the dream over?

A phoenix has to die before it rises again.

 

[The Omega Man]

Cerny translating only means one thing...

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

lol

Shemune 3 believe

 

[maquiladora]

Of all the people that could simply translate Suzuki's words, Cerny is doing it?

Something else is going on here.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

If not Shenmue 3, I can totally see Sega releasing Shenmue HD Collection.

 

[rvy]

A phoenix has to die before it rises again.

OH GOD DAMN IT

I'M OUT!

Fuck this shit already!

 

[McDougles]

A Shenmue postmor-tub?

 

[Shadow2222]

Cerny translating?

It's really, really hard to not read too much into this lol

I think everybody is just trying to keep expectations low. It does seem rather strange that Cerny is translating. I think at best, and I mean at the absolute best, we can hope for an HD collection, as I could see Sony getting exclusive rights to that.

 

[NIGHT-]

If not Shenmue 3, I can totally see Sega releasing Shenmue HD Collection.

Either option works for me!! Please please!!

 

[Smo21]

Is it happening?

 

[rvy]

Cerny translated last year as well. It means shit.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I think it's happening. I feel it this time. It's gonna happen guys.

 

[Xater]

If not Shenmue 3, I can totally see Sega releasing Shenmue HD Collection.

What will be the subtitle of that collection?

"Never finish this fight!"

or

"You'll never see this journey end!"

 

[qq more]

Sega just wants to hint at it and dangle that shit in your face. And now a new Sonic game!

You're saying this like I don't want a new Sonic game!

 

[FaintDeftone]

I would love for this to end in an announcement, but I highly doubt it.

 

[Shadow2222]

Cerny translated last year as well. It means shit.

Oh. Is that where that photo came from? I had no idea Cerny translated last year.

 

[The Bankslammer]

i was worried for a sec, but it's just a post-mortem for the first game!

THERE'S STILL HOPE

Spoiler

not really

 

[Tsundere]

Cerny translated last year as well. It means shit.

Or it means it's already in development =p

 

[borghe]

why doesn't either

a) Sega just kickstart Shenmue 3
b) Yu Suzuki kickstart buying Shenmue rights from Sega or
c) Sony just kickstart to buy Sammy AND Yu Suzuki (though yes this means they would own him)

I would also pay if a gaffer did the same as option C.

 

[Nightengale]

What I hope:

What I expect:

What I dream:

 

[Xater]

Cerny translated last year as well. It means shit.

Yeah, it means absolutely nothing. They are just buddies, Cerny worked at Sega for 7 years after all.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Half-Life 3 x Shenmue 4

It's happening you guys!

 

[Skyzard]

They didn't refer to it as a post-mortem did they?

If so, that's the first time they've basically officially acknowledged it as dead, right?

Either they are desperate for funding and trying to explain they won't throw all the money away...

or shenmue is coming

 

[Stone Ocean]

Cerny translated last year as well. It means shit.

Oh ye of little faith

 

[Frumix]

After so many years there's finally a platform that would be able to produce graphics comparable to Shenmue standards.

They didn't refer to it as a post-mortem did they?

If so, that's the first time they've basically officially acknowledged it as dead, right?

Post-mortem is an industry term for dissecting the process of making a product after it has already shipped.

 

[Sorcerer]

Shenmue, Knack crossover.

Believe!!!

 

[rvy]

Oh ye of little faith

No! 14 fucking years! Fuck this shit. It needs to die already and never be mentioned again.

 

[Xater]

They didn't refer to it as a post-mortem did they?

Yes they do just read the OP.

 

[Nibel]

This is so awesome

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

OH MY FUCK!!!

I've already waited twelve years for this, what's another few months until we get sequel confirmation?
Roll on March!

 

[massoluk]

May be he's going to pull a Mighty No. 9.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

30th time's the charm.

 

[Finster]

Why doesn't a new Shenmue game get kickstarted or something? Seems like there's enough old guard that would shell out good money for that.

 

[Riffled]

Of all the people that could simply translate Suzuki's words, Cerny is doing it?

Something else is going on here.

Or it could be because they already did it once.

 

[Tom_Cody]

This will be awesomely awesome.

 

[rvy]

This is so awesome

What's so awesome about it? Cerny and Suzuki talking about Shenmue? Whoopee-do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrSaE2V2N9I

There.

Awesome.

 

[IrishNinja]

really excited for this, Suzuki's been more present/vocal in recent years and each time he's let us know more about his magnum opus, like the one a few years back killing the "70 MILLION DOLLARS" meme, can't wait for it.

Shenmue 3 on PS4 confirmed.

sounds legit, either this or they're puttin in work to make it a launch title for DC2 (9/9/19), i'm good either way

Cerny translating?

It's really, really hard to not read too much into this lol

this isn't the first time Cerny's done this for Suzuki though, even in recent years...the two go way back, it's great seeing their exchanges on the AM2 glory days

What's so awesome about it? Cerny and Suzuki talking about Shenmue? Whoopee-do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrSaE2V2N9I

There.

Awesome.

that was actually pretty awesome when it first when it happened, not sure why you're down on it?

 

[mattp]

can't wait for the shenmue 3 post-mortem

 

[jay]

Wasn't post mortem a regular feature of Gamasutra/Game Developer? It has nothing to do with meaning a series is dead, it just means the game came out and they are looking back and what they did well and poorly.

In other words, Shenmue 3 and 4 are obviously still coming.

 

[July]

What's so awesome about it? Cerny and Suzuki talking about Shenmue? Whoopee-do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrSaE2V2N9I

There.

Awesome.

I'm sorry you weren't fast enough to beat the arm wrestle and hated the game ever since.

 

[HooYaH]

If a new Shenmue was to be made, it'll be probably a reboot of Shenmue. Not that many people have even played the first two Shenmue to even have a number "3" and I rather have the developers working on the reboot than spending time porting over 2 titles to a new console.

 

[rvy]

that was actually pretty awesome when it first when it happened, not sure why you're down on it?

It's about as awesome as SEGA putting up Ryu Ga Gotoku 5 videos on their European YT.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Thats awesome. I wonder if there would be a Shenmue on PS4 Bomb drop at the conference.

Duh. Cerny is translating so he can personally drop the bomb Iwata style at the mortem.

 

[NeoGIF]

And this is great god damn news!

 

[Skyzard]

Yes they do just read the OP.

Ah missed it without the hyphenation...so it's officially called post mortem...

but then:

...
Post-mortem is an industry term for dissecting the process of making a product after it has already shipped.

Seems you're right, even BF3 got a "post-mortem"

hmm I dunno, I want to believe they are trolling with the title somewhat. Why else review it so far after the fact if there's nothing to follow?

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Can someone explain why shenmue 3, with todays tech, would be an expensive game to make? I understand at the time, but the series seems run of the mill compared to what we have now.

 

[Nibel]

What's so awesome about it? Cerny and Suzuki talking about Shenmue? Whoopee-do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrSaE2V2N9I

There.

Awesome.

Shenmue means a lot to me and I'm looking forward to see this, what's your problem?
