Because Shenmue and Shenmue II are completely separate entities to Shenmue III? SEGA own Shenmue and Shenmue Ii; YsNet owns III?

Because Shenmue is a big deal? More than any remaster ever released so far?

If Sega eventually makes the remasters, the game webiste could be under shenmue.sega.com anyway.

Perhaps.

Next step is for someone to find Jurgen Post fella and ask him about it.

It seems to be common though on the Sega Europe site. When you see the games on there and click them, you are presented options such as "pre order" etc. but one of the options is "official site". So if you click on football manager 2017, the option is there to be directed to http://www.footballmanager.com/games/fo ... nager-2017

Who knows. Let's hope Sega respond to media pressure.

Could give SEGA Europe's community management team a poke for comment. Either via their corporate Twitter, or Dan Sheridan's own.

As for why it has its own dotcom, other games linked via SEGA Europe's website do the same. See: Total War, Football Manager, Dawn of War, Motorsport Manager et al. SEGA USA does the whole [game name].sega.com subdomain stuff, at least for Yakuza anyway, they definitely don't have a unified "house style" for doing that kind of stuff either way.

Grain of salt and all that, though. If it is a fake, it's a pretty good one with attention paid to SEGA's registration style.

There's also an email attached to the registration process that seems legit. If the domains are still up either someone at SEGA failed to see the email notification that lets them know someone is registering domains in their name, or...

I wonder if it possible to fake something like this or this is all legit?


The credentials of the whoever registered the domain are the same as the ones on an extensive list of domains that we know for sure belong to Sega.


LEGIT!

The domains shenmueremastered.com and shenmuegame.com also have been confirmed to belong to Sega Europe.

Is it changed? for me it shows this:

If an official dotcom site is needed then one would assume they'd prefer to use the shenmue.com domain already owned by Sega (Japan). Any other domains are likely registered to prevent any confusion being created by cybersquatters, such as those they've evidently found residing at the correctly spelled version of shenmuegame.com.

I am very curious about to know if Sega Europe will choose the we-can't-talk-yet, we-will-talk-later or we-are-working-hard strategy

They've already said they are interested in getting these out. I don't see a point to pressure them above and beyond our usual monthly tweetathons.

So they come out and say, yes Shenmue 1&2 are coming.. but then somewhere along the way negotiations break down with Coca-cola because CC get wind of how much they can extort SEGA and the cost of licensing becomes to prohibitive and then SEGA have to delay it further or worse, cancel it. Isn't this worse than not knowing now?

I think just like Shenmue 3 and it's rumblings, there's more than enough evidence to show Shenmue 1&2 HD are being worked on, if only for financial terms with other licensees as they have already stated.

While I'm excited about this, I'm also cautious. I feel that spending money (not much obviously) on domains would warrant them moving forward on this given how cheap Sega has shown to be. The old saying, "in for a penny, in for a pound", if you will.

On a side note. I plugged in my Dreamcast to play some classics with my kids and used an AV to HDMI adapter. It looked really good on my 4KTV. I even got new batteries for one of my VMUs so that my eldest could try out the Sonic Adventure VMU mini game called Chao Adventure. She is actually still playing it after a few days. Wasn't there a Shenmue VMU mini game? Did any of you play it?

Sega Europe can be sent a tweet 24 hours a day, not just on one day of the month.

That's quite interesting! He's almost saying: "Hey, Sega are about to decide to make the remasters, please make pressure"

At least I read like this!

I'd be bad if they just got fed up of us and our hourly pinning for Shenmue every day. :mrgreen:
