It'd take more than a year to develop IV alongside III, unfortunately.


I meant a year extra, along with all the time they've already put into it.

Why would they do this and not try to make III as good as possible to ensure IV's higher chance of happening?

Also Yu-san needs to watch his weight. He was looking very puffy in that latest KS video. I hope they have him on a good diet and he exercises now and then.

I'm not saying to CUT any time off the Shen 3 production here. All I said was whatever time it takes to create this game, I wouldn't mind tacking on an extra year of wait if they decided to make 4 right after that using all the same tools/dev team/engine etc. So we're guaranteed a 4th without having to wait and see how 3 did on it's own.

It'd still not really be possible for a lot of technical and economic reasons.

Shenmue and Shenmue II being created simultaneously as one game was only possible because Yu had a blank cheque from SEGA, and even then at some point they forced him to ship it ASAP, which is why it split into two games.

Jesus Christ Shenmue III is really happening. It's still sinking in for me.

And the fact that we could be playing it this year if everything goes to plan. Crazy!

It'll be such a shame when you wake up in bed in the year 2006 the second you launch Shenmue III, the past eleven years having been a simulation, and there'll just be a big, glaring hole during E3 2015 where a certain something was supposed to be, at least in your mind. Just letting you know, dude. But don't worry - at least you'll have all the glorious memories :)

Anyone think that PayPal will hit the $7 million mark by summer? It's actually pretty close now. They better keep that $h*t open until release...that's free money!

From mid-Feb until mid-March the PayPal campaign raised around $15,000, which is good money, but not enough to take us past that next stretch goal.

The Slacker Backer site was never going to bring in cash at the same rate as the KS, but it's done well enough.

I hope they delay the game at least 6 months, i just want it to be as polished and as good as it can.

PlayStation games release on Tuesdays. It'd have to be December 26th 2017, but last year they didn't do any new releases during the final week of December. There are exceptions to that, but they're rare.

I realize your comment was in jest, (December 29th is fine with me) but I expect the release date to be on a Tuesday for that reason. We're looking at:
December 5th
December 12th or
December 19th

for possible dates this year if it doesn't slip. PlayStation Experience will probably be December 2nd & 3rd.
