Great banner, i think it would be cool if we had a repository of meme's, vine's and animated gifs from the games. Shenmue's comeback has been called "weaponised nostalgia" we then lets tool up, everywhere we have a digital footprint we can use these and introduce the game to more people.

The system changed between Shenmue and Shenmue II. It will be the same. That type of change/evolution- hell yeah, but given what's been said tonight :shock: followed by :cry: followed by [-( , i'm simply not having it. When he says he wants to put Forklifts in Shenmue III because fans love them, do...

You think i'm going overboard, this is my favourite game of all time and this muted revision in the gameplay should send a shiver down the Shenmue community. Absolutely nobody in 2015 thinks QTE's are a good idea. The descision to make them a bigger feature in the game is completely the wrong one an...

I was never good at fighting in Shenmue. I always used the same two or three moves and button masher my way through. I don't want full qte but I'd like a better button system and more places to practice with NPCs. You should try Virtua Fighter 5 or something close. I was in the same situation befor...

Nobody said that it will be replaced by only QTE. :) I really want this to be a success but removing one of the truly great things about Shenmue and reducing Shenmue to a QTE adventure game will be a commercial disaster. Maybe i'm wrong and the whole idea is to make Shenmue more niche and even less...

It's Picard face palm time, removing the VF lite fighting system for QTE's in whatever form is a shockingly terrible idea, i'd go as far as to say it's completely insane, honestly if this is true i'd rather just have a comic or anime telling me the end of the story. If anyone out there is listening ...

I've no idea who Biscay is, i'd never heard of him before the Shenmue III kicksarter was announced. Publicly criticising Sega for not allowing a third party and I include Yu in that to walk away with the rights to Shenmue is completely unprofessional and does not bode well. Sega sunk huge sums of mo...

I posted this on the main thread but I think it belongs here.I've got some big reservations about what i've seen so far from a marketing comms perspective. We have a long way to go yet but the initial announcement created a huge noise, the Shenmue community have turned this up to 11 and generated a ...

You cant emphasize the need of excellent promotion enough on this project. Promotion is in key role to make this project succeed. How will they promote and manage to capture new players to play the game without playing the first two. Even if there will be a short movie. Will that be enough and how ...

Wow, the kickstarter slowed to a crawl once Sony announced it was backing the game. Suzuki deserves this and the fans deserve this, It's been an incredible few days, lets face it most of us had given up years ago. I do think Sony's involvement will jar with some and I include myself in that. There ...

Interesting change of stance from Sega, and proof of the company finding some confidence again after a few years in the wilderness especially as a developer. Shenmue 3 however isn't an undertaking to be taken lightly. Yu Suzuki with Shenmue asked an awful lot of sega and the hardware. Commercially I...
