Sony software development head raises hope for Shenmue

[Axm]

Thoughts?

That's a random thing to say. I didn't realize last month was a big push for Shenmue. I know a few months ago we had big pushes on the 3rd of each month. Maybe I'm just not in tune as I need to be.

But still, that's very interesting.

We had a pretty strong showing last month. Not suprised someones saying something. This is a great mention.

Sony is well aware of our social media campaigns. The real question is whether they will do anything about it.

Ill probably be seeing Giocorsi at PAX East so I'll def mention it lol.

He's really just admiring Shenmue fans persistence. I sort of read it as, "You guys...AGAIN?! You still want us to make it happen? Jeez!"

[Esppiral]

Yep, I agree.

It's nice to see them acknowledge that we're still there and want a new Shenmue, even though that tweet is really nothing more then that.

It's cool we're getting SOME recognition from someone in a position to make things happen...more than Sega gives us anyways >.>. This tweet was more of a "Hey, we hear you guys" type of thing. Definitely not a bad sign, but most certainly nothing to get our hopes up over. Heads up and keep yelling like always guys!

Hopes a hugely strong term. Acknowledgement more like.

Scott Rohde's tweet, has created a bit of a coverage about it and the ‪#‎SaveShenmue‬ campaign. Just think even a single tweet can do that...

Here are some articles from various sources (mostly Spanish):

There is a possibility he was just being sarcastic and/or he just wanted to turn the lights on him now that the PlayStation Experience is near; to create some hype.

I'm sick and tired of Sony name dropping Shenmue just so they can get some free publicity and pretend like they're "for the gamers". Sony, help us #saveshenmue so we can buy a PS4 or shut the hell up.
