I think we will see new pics of Shenmue III!

:) I hope so too! But I think there's a chance they'll just post another interview for now (and if they can't talk about Shenmue 3, I hope they'll talk about game development at least, which I find very interesting).

Tuesday 31, they almost always wait till the last day to update the kickstarter page. I'm afraid this time we won't have any picture, If the last update was so important and only had three screens, this time we'll have some interview or something like this.

I hope I'm wrong.

Next Tuesday, final day of January. That's the most likely day it'll drop, anyway.

As for the content... it could be anything. That's pretty exciting.

It looks like there was a Magic Monaco press conference recently (or is it just this week). Did they not show anything?

Not a jot.

They did include some flash scenes of the Shenmue Tree and also the logo in their promo video, but as of today, there's nothing new Shenmue related advertised for the event.

To be expected. If anything makes MAGIC '17 (and it might, though without Yu being there), we'll probably not know about it until the absolute last minute anyway.

He's not a confirmed guest. He was the first guest confirmed for MAGIC 2016.

As Peter has been telling us, it was always unlikely for Yu to make the trip because of the work schedule as they steam ahead through production. Cedric said at the start of the month he was hoping to get an answer as to whether Yu would come or not, but at this late a stage it is very unlikely the answer is going to be "yes".

But of course, Yu not being there doesn't necessarily mean Shenmue III won't be either. We just have to wait and see how that plays out.

For some reason I had on my head that YS was going to be there.

Maybe PSX mindfucked me, but I thought it.

Nah. Writing was on the wall as soon as MAGIC's 2017 guest list started expanding and Yu was a no-show.

Nothing to be worried about. We all knew it'd be pedal to the metal this year anyway. All the more reason to keep focus on what the Kickstarter updates may bring. It's all just a question of whether they'll hit the ground running early on, or if we'll have a dry spell.

SEGA did Ys the corporate sodoku, if Yu didn't care about making something GREAT, he would not be in this thing again.

but for some reason, I really thought that Yu was gonna be there.

Well, we've been promised some exciting stuff early 2017, so who knows. Fingers crossed, eh? I won't be too disappointed if we have to wait until Magic or even slightly later.

Yeah. I don't think any of us are under the illusion Yu meant January by early 2017... but you never know. A progress interview or a look their plans for the year ahead would be fine with me.

They haven't even released any in depth game aspects, like mechanics, or musical styles and samples. Things like that are good, non spoiler, and can make a great update. The majority of last year's was... "nice".

2017 has to end these "nice" updates. I'd prefer no updates if they remained as surface updates.
