I contacted Newegg Support to see if they'll confirm if there release date is a placeholder or not...I'll let you know when I hear back.

I'll be interested to see if they implement the instant transition for some stores a la Shenmue IIx (not sure if the Dreamcast version had them or not).

They're still around.

Hiding this as a spoiler, just in case...

Xbox is up now.

Obviously, modern consoles won't require the same amount of time to load new areas as the Dreamcast did. Do you hope they still retain some variation of the load screens that we're familiar with? Or are you hoping for a more modern way for Ryo to transition between areas? https://lparchive.org/Shenm...

Well folks, with Shenmue 1 & 2 finally being released in HD on PS4, it's time for me to sell off my classic Sega system. I know... it's a classic and the last Sega system, not to mention a good Sega system. The problem is that it takes up space and now nearly every game I loved on Dreamcast is ...

That's a shame. Hopefully it has the save anywhere feature. Just to mitigate times where you'd be forced to wait overnight to progress if you failed a story challenge. Playing pool with the dock workers comes to mind.. Shenmue technically did have a Save Anywhere feature (that made you shut the con...

Thanks, I wasn't aware of him before today but I gave him a follow.

Any idea where Game Informer got this information? I haven't seen any official confirmation on this from Sega.

At this point I'll be surprised if it actually comes out. A beta would occupy resources that would be better applied towards meeting the launch date at the end of this year.

Wow, excellent footage. If there was anybody sleeping on Shenmue 3, they aren't anymore!

I've been operating under the assumption that this would be delayed so it's hard to feel any disappointment about the news...December 2017 never seemed realistic to me. If I had to bet money I'd guess that Spring 2017 is when the game actually hits despite today's new window.

Wouldn't a demo increase sales? Actually... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/122056-Game-Dev-Claims-Demos-Hurt-Game-Sales ...but you don't hear much about shareware or game demos anymore, despite their near-ubiquity back in the day.

I think there's pretty much a zero percent chance of the game hitting its estimated release date. I believe that the last KS update said that the game was still in the R&D stage? I'm not an expert on game development by any means but a 12 month turnaround seems way too ambitious. I feel like Sum...
