The Shenmue III KS comments are a dark, twisted and truly disgusting place. Don't ever go there alone, you might lose your mind, or worse.

I'll be worried (for a December release date) if we don't get any substantial update by the end of June 2017.

As for the actual situation, just read (maybe several times) what Suzuki San said in the last "progress update":

“I have been absorbed in developing the game and I stay in the studio all night time to time. My life is all about Shenmue day and night.”-Yu Suzuki


They are hard at work right now. This is the only reason we don't get updates. That also means that they are doing everything that is humanly possible to create the best Shenmue 3 they can.

We have waited for over a decade to get Shenmue 3. Yu Suzuki waited for over a decade to get the opportunity to make Shenmue 3. I have faith. He won't disappoint us, even if we have to wait a little longer to get out of this cave.

I guess I'm of two minds about the whole situation. On the one hand, I feel perfectly confident that the lack of updates simply reflects the intense, focused work of the development team - and I suspect that some of the more outrageous KS commenters might be people who knew little or nothing about Shenmue but for whatever reason wanted to join in on a historically successful KS.

On the other hand, a monthly update might simply be a text message of a couple/few paragraphs that one person could take 15 minutes to quickly type up ("this month we're testing a couple of minigames in one location, and we worked on a QTE in another location"... plus just some description of the atmosphere of the offices, or the season in Japan) and thereby prevent the worst of the hysteria from happening. Honestly it could be the work of an intern, with only a few minutes taken for a senior staffer to approve the content before posting it.

I've seen it happen time and again with game developers large and small... they tend not to be the types of personalities that enjoy speaking publicly, much preferring to just keep a low profile and work hard. It causes some problems but that's the way it is.

It's a rare and special person who can handle being both prolifically creative, and an expert PR master and salesperson.

Of course I'd love updates, but I also understand why there aren't any... and it's really out of AJ's hands imo.

I'm very happy with this situation. Sure, we all want to know what is going on, but it is wrong to pressure the developer. Yu and his Team should have the time to make it better how they can. I looking forward to E3 2017. Could the 2nd best after 2015. 8)

Honestly I'm good with that. I don't need to get monthly updates, what I want is the Shenmue III that keeps up with the outstanding quality of the last two. A game that we'll keep on playing for years to come.

It's funny.. back in June of 2015 I would never have guessed that by March of 20 freaking 17 we'd still have Jack-$hit info on Shenmue 3.

I would have thought that by now we'd have previews, trailers, demos, HD remakes of 1 and 2, etc.

Hopefully June of 20 freaking 17 can change your view on everything.

Which, to be honest, was foolish in hindsight. I'm sure we're all kinda guilty of that one, though.

I still maintain that if Shenmue III was being fully funded by a publisher, it wouldn't have even been announced yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's radio silence until E3, which isn't anything to panic about, either.

Oh yeah.. it's absolutely hilarious to go back in these threads and see all the "predictions"

Character reveals in mid 2016!! LOL :roll:
