DARKSTALKERS ARE NOT DEAD the sequel.
Suzuki is a cruel, twisted, inhumane, brutal, malevolent, beast of a man for making this a joke.

we're so lonely, animlboogy
you can play all 3 games, with guides for 2, and a fangame incoming
i'm a huge mother fan ami but our plights are not comparable
but each ShenMue game cost like fifty trillion Mother games to deveop!
Well that should go without saying. Outrun is one of the greatest arcade racing series of all time, while the only thing Shenmue is good for is curing insomnia.

I wish it was happening
Why do some of you insist on derailing topics about Shenmue? We get it, you don't like it. Go talk about your favorite game in another topic.

Id sacrifice 100's for a new Shenmue. But I would also require a Shenmue i & II HD Bundle.

If they successfully make a third shenmue and it still sells terribly can Shenmue fans finally admit the series isn't that good and their excuses for the first 2 games selling so bad no longer hold water?

Did you not read the thread title? This is a topic about Yu Suzuki's gamelab presentation.

Yeah really. I love my Dreamcast. I loved it so much that even despite its short life, its quality overshadowed everything else I got that gen. But Sega made some dense decisions, mostly related to the Saturn, and those dumb decisions had repercussions that spilled into the Dreamcast. Blaming Sony for Sega's exit from the hardware industry is like blaming Nintendo's current Wii U woes on anyone else but Iwata & Co.

I'd go so far as to say Sega's bad decisions started back in the Genesis days. Especially with the little communication between Sega of Japan and Sega of America.

I'll admit people have poor taste. Seriously, what do you expect from polarising game series?

This. Devs and publishers really need to stop this, either do these things or don't, the teasing or carrot dangling needs to stop.
Or maybe the series is an acquired taste that not everyone holds?
(I believe this to be the case regardless of Shenmue 3 coming out or not, to be honest)

It's never happening. People, just stop.
I want it too. I want it bad.
But it's not happening.
Please. Just stop.
Pls.

I've never played these games before, but I was listening to the orchestrated version soundtrack the other day for Shenmue and got interested in learning more about the games. I was going to watch a let's play of the first game on youtube, but then I changed my mind.
Hopefully there is a HD re-release for the first two. That would be nice.

If I show you the sales figures for shenmue will you finally admit the game didn't sell poorly?
The death of the arcade market was at least as big of a factor as the failure of the Saturn in Sega's demise. They were actually still turning a profit until 1998.
No they weren't

Fans would buy it all the same even it came out with same LOD as the old Dreamcast games.

Because much like DriveClub, that (estimated) $20m is being invested into a game I have zero interest in. When it could be poured into another game that I'd prefer.
I'd like to think that post was pretty transparently my selfish opinion. I don't want to deny you guys the game you love, it's just I really would prefer that money go into a game that isn't fan service. Or at least if it IS, it's fan service I care about.
Anywho, I got on @NeoGAFShitposts - so it must have been a little bit raw sounding, hope that clears it up for anyone I've hurt.

Yu and devs like him who troll the fan base with false hopes are fucking assholes. Stop beating around the bush douchebag. Announce the game or stop making vague references. Just a shitty excuse to get people to notice him in an attempt to remain relevant. Go join Cliffy

I don't know how you can call an unfinished story "fan service".

I'm expecting 3 along side a remastered 1080p/60fps of Shenmue 1 and 2 bundle.

Yes they were.
I counter your unsourced, uncited graph with this:
http://books.google.com/books?id=Db...AEwBA#v=onepage&q=sega losses in 1997&f=false
"By 1997, the sony playstation dominated the video game console market, nintendo was a strong second wiht its N64, and Sega had been reduced to a distant and weak third. That same year, Sega posted one of the largest single-year losses in the comnpany's history at that time; the $398 million bath that sega took in 1997 was one largely of its own pouring."

HD remakes wouldn't be enough they need to make a new engine and new animations if they want to make new fans in 2014+.

Probably because I am pretty ignorant about and unattached to Shenmue as a series. But also because many financially unviable projects, stop a franchise reaching a conclusion, exploring it's lore fully or fulfilling it's potential.
What I've seen of the game looks VERY similar to a Heavy Rain mechanically (with equally bad writing and acting). And I played Heavy Rain, I actually quite liked it. But I'd be bummed if some of the SCEWWS budget went to Shenmue III and David Cage's next project.
Sorry!

Okay somehow I feel obligated to do this - It's gonna be one long-ass semi off topic post, tho still on the subject of Sega.
That game is After Burner III in name only -- It's a bastardized port of Sega's arcade 'Strike Fighter' (1991) renamed After Burner III for the Japanese FM-TOWNS computer format in 1992 (playable on the FM Towns Marty console). Then that bastardized port was watered down a bit more for the MEGA-CD / Sega CD released in '92 in Japan, '93 in the west.

Strike Fighter itself was sort of an arcade 'remix' of G-LOC Air Battle (1990). A version was used as the game in Sega's R-360, Sega's full 360 degree motion cab.
G-LOC: Air Battle: http://youtu.be/dxgP_raXVU0
R-360: http://youtu.be/qDr2jNo1dmI
All were Sega Y-BOARD games, same as Galaxy Force II and Power Drift.
'Strike Fighter' - 1991 is not to be confused with 'Sega Strike Fighter' - 2000 on Dreamcast-based NAOMI Multiboard Hardware, a game that was closer to the older Namco arcade and PS1 and Air/Ace Combat games and used 1 or 3 screens.

The Model 2 arcade (and Saturn) game Sky Target (mid-late 90s) also loosely fits into the entire lineage.
Sky Target: http://youtu.be/WHVjX5jeyGM
The entire line 'climaxed', so to speak, with a certain Sega LINDBERGH arcade game in 2006 that was eventually ported to PS3, 360 and most recently, iOS.
Early footage (@ 3:29) of what would later be titled After Burner Climax was shown running on the then-unannounced Lindbergh hardware at E3 2005 at a private showing of next-gen 360/PS3 console & arcade games still in development.
