Why would there be a lot of Yu's fans at a show where neither Yu nor anything Shenmue-related have been announced?

When Yu goes to Magic Monaco the crowd goes crazy cheering and clapping. They all even stand up for Yu Suzuki.


This was E3 2015... right? :D

I'd assume that's because a lot of Shenmue fans went to MAGIC last year - because Yu's attendance + Shenmue III news was advertised well in advance.

Cedric tweet followed by a Shenmue comment...he liked it.

Let's not be fooled this time though.

It wasn't only when Shenmue III got announce at E3 2015 that the crowd was doing that. When Yu was invited to Magic Monaco before Shenmue III was announced everybody in the audience stand up and we're cheering for Yu and we're asking a lot of question about the posibility of Shenmue III and if Yu might consider using crowdfunding to make the game et cetera.

Heh, nice title. Coincidentally I was just busy with some work that used the guy's equation.

Tough situation for Cedric though with the cancellations. Trying to get something Shenmue there would indeed be a good thing for him (and Yu, and us).

It doesn't really relate to Shenmue at MAGIC, so we can't really parse anything from this anyway.

--------------------

Although in other news, Cedric did Tweet yesterday that there is still no delay expected.

I know Cedric's stock in our eyes has been lessened by how out of the loop he is in regards to the promotion cycle of Shenmue III, but as a major investor in the project you'd at least think he knows if the game is still on schedule or not.

I read it as Cédric not having any info of a delay.
Which pragmatically means that the game is still on schedule... at the moment.

Also possible.

I've generally maintained that as long as YSnet hasn't announced a delay, they still think December 2017 is an achievable time-frame. I don't think we'll know about it much later than the developers, if/when it happens

You are referring to the MAGS 2013 (Monaco Anime Game Show). That event was the best of all!

People on the exhibition floor where especially present to show Yu Suzuki their support to get Shenmue 3 released.

Will be there again this year, flight and hotel are booked. Unfortunately I'm felled by the flu at the moment :cry:

Will keep you updated by my twitteraccount.
@rkeijz

Edit: Even without the presence of Yu Suzuki himself; MAGIC is a great event with a great host (Cedric). He is present at the exhibitionfloor and always in for a chat. The location Grimaldi Forum / Monaco is the best!

The Forum really is a cool venue. And the surroundings of course are beautiful.

Cedric was interviewed by Japanese gaming publication Famitsu.

What makes me curious is why Famitsu flew reporters out to Monaco for an interview. It could be MAGIC and Shibuya Productions are getting traction in Japan, or to cover the Japanese speakers at the event (well, speaker, after Kojima pulled out).

Shenmue III and Cedric's involvement will definitely be a big talking point, though. There's a chance Famitsu are there to cover something being shown, or if their interview will roll into a larger segment on Shenmue III in either the weekly or monthly Famitsu editions.

16:00 GMT, actually. Shibuya's panel is at 5PM CET, and they're an hour ahead of GMT.

-----------

Small reminder for everybody:

At best, we're hoping for a small, last minute surprise that will comprise a fraction of a larger panel.

Even if nothing happens, we'll be only 10 days away from the end of the month where (presumably) regular updates resume.
