But more likely, one of the most soul-crushingly disappointing.
Imagine it: Zero announcement on Earthbound, Crash, TLG, Shenmue, Battletoads, Gears, God of War, Horizon, or Banjo. And Fallout 4 is suddenly just cancelled cuz fuck it.
I sincerely hope the Shenmue Trilogy finally gets its long-awaited conclusion; the fans deserve it.
Having said that, I recently played through Shenmue II and found it to be quite over-hyped. It wasn't bad, but simply nowhere near the masterpiece that others claimed it to be.

I can't believe people believe this. But then again people buy a piece of plastic made by slaves so hey, people are insane.

Actually you'll need 3 of each. One to keep in pristine condition, one to play TLG/Shenmue and one that will be sullied by all the other dirty peasant games that aren't TLG/Shenmue.
Looks like it might've slipped from memory, but if I recall correctly...
Sega teased Shenmue 1&2 and Skies of Arcadia HD in 2012.
Shortly after, Sega announced they were canceling all their console titles. Since then, Devil's Details (the UK company that ported Sega games to PC) dissolved in the same year, since you obviously can't port Sega console classics anywhere when Sega decides they're going to limit their console output to almost zero.
So now I'm curious if they're just going to make a Shenmue 3 and ignore an HD port of the previous titles. Or if any Shenmue is coming at all lol

Hey guys I was going to make a new thread but I'll ask it here. Shenmue was before I got into gaming, so what's the deal? What is so special about it? Best I can tell is it looks like a Yakuza type game but nothing special. I'm not trolling, I would really like to understand.
Then SEGA saw Valkyria Chronicles sell more units on PC than the original and thought "Damn! The people are demanding greatness again, THE DREAM MUST LIVE AGAIN!"
And thus the greatest E3 was about to begin...
I am going full hype, I can be a cynical git for the rest of the year, but I will believe FOR ONE DAY.
....... Are you aware of what Shenmue is...?
lol, then you don't want Shenmue altogether mate.
yes, shenmue has its QTEs, its not however a QTE game
edit: let me elaborate, Shenmue is a mix, it has a lot of things besides the sequences where you learn moves or chase someone, or other specific scene, like the investigation aspect, the roaming, minigames, the fighting sequences, jobs, etc, its not a game where you only do QTEs for the majority of its gameplay

I know, tonight I'll dream about that college girl I like...and this. Good stuff for a dream.
It's a tale of revenge, friendship, and possibly redemption (though the story is incomplete).

This rumor is potentially soul crushing or soul uplifting. Imagine, BOTH Shenmue and TLG is announced.

What if they decided to make it all Grand Theft Auto: Tokyo style?
So, basically, you don't want a Telltale "game." That's understandable.

So we're less than 24 hours away from knowing the the truth. Can't wait... Regardless of outcome.

I loved shennmue 1 and 2 a LOT... But I can't see a remake doing well, were have some a long way and today's games won't put up with working on the forklift with Dylan our at a lucky hit stand, looking back that is some tedious shit.
A sequel worth more modern gameplay while sticking to the character of 1 and 2 would be most welcome... And fans want closure more than a remake.

Officially hyped for Shenmue 3 and posting in order to register this moment, so I can come and laugh at myself if nothing actually gets announced at E3.
That said, while from a sales perspective I can get the complaints about the game's systems and overall style, I do wish they kept the progression similar to how it was and still developed these really fleshed out worlds you can almost freely explore and enter anywhere. It's what set Shenmue apart, and it's what makes Shenmue the title it is.
If they start changing it around, making it more action-y, having a 'bigger' world but not as detailed and what not, I imagine the essence of it would be lost. Of course, we'd still get the story and a potentially cool game, but it wouldn't be the Shenmue 3 people wanted all along, at least not the old time fans. I mean, hell, the last disc of Shenmue 2 is one of my favourite things ever in videogames, and to put it simply it's about walking alongside a girl and chatting with her while taking in the view. There was just an undeniable charm about every little detail there that I hope they'll be able to nail down if a sequel is, in fact, in development.

The meltdown levels would be off the chart if Nintendo or Microsoft moneyhatted Shenmue 3.
