Ok, so it looks like it has nothing to do with Naughty Dog after all, the name is just a coincidence as I found this: Joel Tess: https://www.facebook.com/joel.tess.1?ref=br_rs This guy works at Awesome Japan which seems to be connected to Shenmue kickstarter campaign in some way...

I have only one concern and that is Unreal Engine 4 Why? Despite personal preferences and not remembering a one game that would impress me character-wise (they all look pretty dead in UE, except maybe a bit better in Enslaved?), I have a serious reasons to believe that it's not the best choice for t...

Sony have confirmed they are only helping with marketing and some small amount of funding (probably to help with the ps4 version and put a development team together), the majority of the money is from kickstarter, so put in as much as you can possibly afford. This. I doubt they'd support a PC (Wind...

It's all so surreal... Amazing tune...

Nope... Oficially they wouldn't. Not yet, not at this stage. Just hear carefully to what Adam Boyle said in the video I posted above... The things don't work so obvious and intuitive, they can't go straight forward when it comes to projects like 'another Shenmue sequel', it's not that Shenmue was lo...

Well, at least I have "Joel Tess" and the video above to think that there's something in the air... What do you have to think that it "doesn't mean anything"? Just because you say so? You're right! Naughty Dog is more than willing to take away part of its budget on Uncharted 4 a...

Definitely, yes.

It worked in a very emotional way on me, just as the games, like the end credits of the first Shenmue. Yes, I cried. And made everything harder now (no subliminal message here). The thing is, I already gave up the hope in this industry the way it is now, where it goes. I'm playing games since 25 yea...

What do you have to think that it "doesn't mean anything"? Just because you say so?

How can you know? It could mean that there is a connection. Maybe stronger than anyone thinks it is...

Still, they chose to use Joel Tess and not something else. Sony's support & additional funding has been already confirmed as well.

Hello everyone, this is what's bugging me: If you take a look at the Shenmue III Kickstarter http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/HideOK/Screenshot%20-%2016_06%20002_zpsug3unlia.jpg You will find out that it's been registered under the following name: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/HideOK/...

This is what I was asking myself too, so I asked Iuchi-san on Facebook: Me: [...]Wow, still can't believe! Will you compose original music for Shenmue III as well? :) Ryuji Iuchi: I think so too :) maybe,yes.SEGA has all copyrights of shenmue1/2 musics. Me: Glad to read that! I wish that everything ...

Yup, Yuzo Koshiro has had his own studio for many years now. They made Beyond Oasis/The Story of Thor for the Genesis and worked in many games as a contractor. Call me old fashioned but I'm surprised to see how easy it is today to get in touch with famous developers, musicians, etc. This guy for ex...
