It seems that they have updated the kickstarter page's front image with the one that they showed as advertisement at te gamescom. They use the new Shenmue font by Suzuki.

I wonder if they'll show the complete and revised version of the 1st teaser with facial animation and everything before of the end of the year :-k

This is a great sign! The company that I asked to donate $50M refuse to answer whether they've donated or not. You know what this means? Ys Net obviously asked them to keep the information classified or something like that. Big things are going to happen, I'm sure!

Actually, this is kind of worrying. By now, I'm sure so many people you've asked have donated so much money that the budget is certainly ballooning far beyond even Star Citizen levels. I expect they're approaching half a billion dollars, and climbing fast. Feature creep is going to set in and the exponentially-expanded version of Shenmue III won't release until 2024.

These guys are the only ones that seriously considered the donation. I know this because they replied back to me saying they're interested and are looking into it. They also said that they'd give an update on the progress in a couple of business days or so, which they still haven't done yet. By the way KidMarine, just wait until the next update to see whether they make a big announcement or something (but there's still a possibility that they'll be keeping it confidential). They also didn't give us an update for Halloween so there must be a reason for that. This could be it!

Not that I think your strategy is going to work, but I know this movie studio seems to love Shenmue. I tried to get their interest during the Kickstarter days, but couldn't get a response.

For those who don't pay attention to Sony news, there is no Saturday morning keynote for PSX this year. They're having a small event the Friday before it starts and only the first few thousand people who bought tickets will be allowed to attend. They wanted to try and kill the massive line Saturday morning that had people lining up 10 hours early by having a smaller event Friday night with a known attendee count. They also aren't promising any big announcements either, they wanted the convention to focus more on the games playable at the show and showing more about games that were already announced. This is why they had a press conference at PGW last week. I think this news doesn't rule anything out specifically, but we already knew not to expect anything related to Shenmue 3 anyway unless it was announced in advance.

The news kind of annoyed me because the way they initially described Friday it sounded like sort of a meet-and-greet with developers, as opposed to a replacement for the Saturday morning keynote which most people assumed was happening. I missed the cut-off for early-bird tickets by a few weeks because I had some things to work out before I eventually decided to go again. Being in the audience for the crowd reaction to announcements was one of the best parts of going last year, and now I'll have to watch it from a hotel walking distance away from the actual event. Oh well.

I don't have any reason to expect that we'll hear about any HD remasters this year either. There haven't been any hints dropped by Sega's media team to get excited over.

Imagine the hype on this board if Shenmue 3 somehow managed to be released in December '17? I know we would be getting a much inferior game but still. Trust me I have no problem waiting for a much improved version, but the hype nonetheless would be insane right now.

My statement above still stands, but...the exhibitor list for PSX 2017 was announced today and Deep Silver has a booth this year. They were not present at all last year, and I can't find any details of them being present at any major US game conventions in the past year. They were not at PAX East, they were not at E3, and they were not at PAX West.
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/11 ... confirmed/

Now, keep in mind that Deep Silver is a publisher and has other games coming out next year besides Shenmue 3, however I still found their presence to be notable. Cross-referencing the list of confirmed games for the show, the only Deep Silver title that I saw was Kingdom Come: Deliverance. While very it's possible that their booth is just to promote that one game since it's due out in February, it's kind of interesting that they'll be at the show. It might be a good opportunity to strike up a conversation with any of their PR people who might be present.

What I hope Is that Suzuki is hopefully preparing a new and tuned version of the 1st teaser for the end of the year. I can't wait to see something more!

So, today, while walking back home, I checked my email on my phone and saw a KS update for Shenmue 3. It was quite unexpected and that made me realize that I really haven't been thinking much about Shenmue 3 lately.
Then I asked myself: Am I still excited for Shenmue 3?
Well, of course I am! The thing is, when I think about why I am excited, the only reason I can come up with is simply "Because it's fucking Shenmue 3!". Because, to be honest, we have seen so little of this game, that it might as well be a yet-to-be-unveiled game. Not only that, the little that we have seen has yet to impress me and get me hyped (pretty much all I can really say so far is that the environments are looking pretty).
So, I'm excited (how could I not be? It's Shenmue fucking 3!), but not feeling hyped, at the moment.

Anyway, I still have faith that, in the end, we'll get a great game (though I'm certainly not expecting anything as ground-breaking as the first two games were) and that, before that, we'll finally get to see some proper footage of the game and hype will come back. And we need it to look good enough to get non-fans hyped too, not just fans like me, who, as I just said, are only excited about it simply "because it's Shenmue 3".

Also, the fact that we still haven't seen almost anything of Shenmue 3 makes me think that they're either playing their cards very close to their chest, or that a 2018 release probably won't happen. My gut feeling tells me that it's the latter. Fine by me, really. I've been waiting for more than 15 years and, just over a couple of years ago, I considered Shenmue dead and buried and my hope was zero, so... I just want a great game.

i also was thinking about what shenmue 3 meant to me.I followed the dreamcast obsessivly when i was in my 20s' and more importantly shenmue.but now im a middle aged man with a family and two kids and there r alot more things on my mind then there were back then.as far as video games go this will probably be the last thing i obsess over.honestly i cant wait to play it and i will be sitting here neglecting my family while i play it,but they will understand. because they love me and know me,and know i love it.i no longer follow sega or yu obsessivly but i am still hanging on to this chance for closure in that great chapter of my life.I mean at least until panzer dragoon saga is reserected!
