[deriks]

My heart wants, but he is been played like a bitch in the Shenmue stuff

 

[newjeruse]

At the very most we will get a remaster. No way there's a Shenmue 3.

 

[Sidewinder]

Lol, TLG and Shenmue 3 at the same time would be insane! Let's do this

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

but gameplay wise, doesn't yakuza do the same thing and a lot more?
(rightfully so considering the release time difference and platforms)

No, the games look similar on the surface level but they have very different focuses.

 

[cireza]

Maybe that Yu Suzuki is at E3 and simply pictured a fenwick because it reminded him of Shenmue.

If that's the case, this would be so cruel lol.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

I haven't even payed Shenmue and I would lose my mind if this happened.

Edit: I'd buy HD ports Minute 1.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I'm going to guess that most people begging for Shenmue 3 never played a game in the series.

An HD Collection is a MUST for such an old and expensive franchise.

EDIT: lol the post above.

 

[Captain Smirk]

You must hold on gaf!

 

[Tom Nook]

Brace yourself everyone

Spoiler

to be disappointed.

Keeping a champagne bottle nearby as I watch MS and Sony conferences, just in case.

Damn, Sony conference starts at 3.00 AM here. Well, sucks for the neighbors, I guess.

At the very most we will get a remaster. No way there's a Shenmue 3.

From some comments in this thread, it actually sounds like a sequel would actually be more feasible than a remaster.

 

[Darksol]

!

 

[Synless]

just imagine, in a e3 conference some dude says that he has a very special trailer to show us, the video starts playing we see some gorgeous chinese landscape, and then shenmue theme starts playing, everyone goes crazy.

Anyway even if something shenmue related is happening, best case scenario is that it'll be a remaster

So the FF7 approach?

No even the combat is very different between the games. Fighting in Shenmue is pretty rare, ya don't wander around town constantly getting into battles. And the moves are "realistic" instead of over the top flashy and the way ya input them is closer to a fighting game than a beat 'em up like Yakuza!

 

[Splash Wave]

Don't get excited; he's probably just making a joke.

And if he isn't, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Yoda]

Yeah please don't play with my emotions like this.

 

[DanielJr82]

I'm down for an HD collection if it means subsidizing Shenmue 3.

 

[Smellycat]

lol it is E3 alright

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You guys never learn. These fuckers play you like a fiddle every time and you never learn.

 

[arglebargle]

Even a remaster seems unlikely to me but is way more likely than shenmue 3. I'd be thrilled by any announcement of course.

 

[ShadowOwl]

Oh boi.

Well, I guess we'll see a HD remaster being announced, no way there will be Shemue 3.

Spoiler

Seriously, is there any chance?

 

[Lazaro]

So thats why Microsoft moved QB and Scaledown to Gamescom. Must have just signed the deal.

Everything so far points to PS4. Unless it's multiplat and SONY getting a deal of some sort.

I've known Phil Spencer to only mention Shenmue once so unless he's hiding something...

But umm judging by Yu's Twitter Avatar.

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Remaster would be cool. I don't even like these games and I'm kinda hyped now.

 

[kingocfs]

Ooh my.

 

[newjeruse]

From some comments in this thread, it actually sounds like a sequel would actually be more feasible than a remaster.

A sequel that would do the series justice doesn't seem to be within Sega's capabilities right now.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Nope, not letting myself get hyped. Nope. Nope. Nope.

 

[Tratorn]

Probably just normal Ports of the original versions, not even Remasters. :x

He'll do something like this on stage:

 

[Bio-Frost]

I can't handle this, I was 12 when shenmue 2 came out in America. I'm 25 now, I NEED this announcement to be true, I can't take this back and forth anymore.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Hasn't he already admitted that he simply likes to troll Shenmue fans?

 

[Kissenkopf]

Not again...

 

[Lightning Count]

what makes shenmue different from a yakuza game? sorry last time i even touched shenmue i was like 13.

All dialogue in Shenmue is voiced, in Yakuza spoken dialogue is saved for cutscenes.

Yakuza protagonists fight with weapons as well as their fists, Ryo never uses weapons.

Yakuza's story is much darker, characters get killed off and maimed in seriously brutal ways, in Shenmue characters rarely die, worst is usually an ass kicking.

Shenmue's world operates on a full day and night cycle, businesses adhere to opening/closing times, weather is fully simulated. In Yakuza time of day and weather is fixed.

 

[FranXico]

A sequel that would do the series justice doesn't seem to be within Sega's capabilities right now.

Which is why people are hoping a console manufacturer (any of the three) would step in to fund the game.

 

[Brinbe]

Stoppppp, don't do it to yourselves

 

[Yoda]

From some comments in this thread, it actually sounds like a sequel would actually be more feasible than a remaster.

The remainder of the story can't be crammed into one game. Starting @ square one is really the only option.

I see, thanks. That was the answer I was looking for.

 

[Phionoxx]

Don't play with my heart! I refuse to get hyped.

Spoiler

okay getting a bit hyped

 

[DJIzana]

From a quality perspective or financial perspective? Financially, I agree. Quality wise... think you need to tread back and play some of the later Yakuza games, bruh.

 

[Rodin]

So he posts that with a Mii avatar, after we heard that Nintendo is going to announce new big partnerships at E3. Guess we finally know what Retro Studios is up to.

He has been using that avatar for his twitter for ages though.

He was always teasing this moment.

Spoiler

It's probably going to be nothing, but if it happens, it's probably a remake/remaster of 1-2 for Xbox One, seeing how Xbox already had Shenmue 2 back in the days and how Microsoft needs to gain points in the eyes of the public. They also can afford the investment without blinking an eye, even for 3 eventually. Or Sony, thinking about that Cerny-Suzuki picture, but i think MS is more likely. That being said, i still think nothing will happen.

 

[OnionPowder]

Shenmue 3 and TLG at the same E3?

 

[vypek]

Haven't played Shenmue but I'm interested in the series. However, I'm fully expecting this to just be that he saw a forklift and thought of his game and tweeted a picture of it and there are no plans for the IP at the moment.

 

[MrCuddle]

But umm judging by Yu's Twitter Avatar.

So Nintendo can't possibly do this after saving Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third?

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Never played a shenmue but I heard its a lot like yakuza which I love and played them all

 

[stilgar]

ShenmUe

 

[ethomaz]

1 & 2 HD Remaster please.

PS4 if possible.

 

[stan423321]

Man, I'd love a new Sega All-Stars Racing.

*runs*

 

[Mugy]

 

[Armaly]

I had a dream that Microsoft is going to fund Shenmue 3 as an exclusive title. Maybe it's true.

 

[harSon]

That's from like 2 years ago isn't it?
