... And I'm 100% sure Yu will prove that the one that started it all is still the best. This isn't Fallout, Elder Scrolls or GTA. This is Shenmue and with Yu and many of the former AM2 developers behind Shenmue 3, this is indeed a great moment for gaming. Let them pioneer game play and story telling once more.

Couldn't agree more! Hear, hear.

So what could be the role of Sega in this ? Nothing really ?

It's interesting, because when people ask me what Shenmue is like I strongly resist using terms like "sandbox" or "open-world". This is because I don't want them to get the conception that it's anything like Elder Scrolls or Grand Theft Auto. Shenmue handles the open world environment in a much different way than any of those games do. Yakuza is close, although not entirely similar to Shenmue, but instead in the way it treats its environment.

I imagine it has something to do with NPC's and Ryo's relationship with them. Other than that I'm not too sure myself.

Kind of like in Fable 2 and 3 (better in Fable 2 though) with the Villager interactions? Cool..I can see that, bit more in depth I imagine.

Can't figure out how to get that quote box! Damn my forum newbness!

I want Shenmue to be the best it can be, if a kickstarter can help give the best ending and chisel out the best possible conclusion then I look forward to our money helping Sony and Yu make the very best version of the game.

So fucking happy

Props to Yu, he said he'll wait, that Shenmue III would be a game, and not just a mobile game.

He even got the license to do it.

If someone told you a year ago that Shenmue III was going to happen you would have to be bluffing to believe it.

Am I actually watching these videos???

It's just unbelievable that we would hear the things Adam and Gio are saying. And look at Yu!!!! This is as much his dream come true as it is ours.

Will it be PS4 exclusive?

Is there any legal/legit way to play part 1 and 2 without going out and buying an Xbox or DC?

PS4 and PC exclusive.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't it legal to play the games through an emulator if you own the physical copies of the games?

I don't know what to say. This is insane. I had given up all hope a decade ago. Unreal.
