Thankfully Suzuki made the announcement himself. I can't imagine the backlash if it were made by Joey lol

I'm pretty sure Sega have been aware of the demand for Shenmue HD for some years now. That doesn't mean they care to do anything about it. Sega used to be my favorite gaming company back in the Game Gear and Genesis days. Heck, even the Dreamcast days they were on top in my book. After that though, they completely fell down the well and little Timmy(Sega) hasn't been able to climb out yet.

Have you noticed that the two classic Sega IPs that most are looking forward too are done by other development companies outside of Sega? They simply have the Sega logo on them. The first being Shenmue 3 obviously. The second being Sonic Mania. When Sega attempted to do 2D Sonic with Sonic 4, they messed up the physics so bad it was like controlling a bowling ball. Sonic Mania looks to be a true return to form and that's mostly thanks to Christian Whitehead and his team. It's the first Sonic I've looked forward too since Sonic Adventure was a launch title on Dreamcast.

On the subject of a reveal trailer - we got any bets/predictions on when it'll happen?

I'm going to hedge my bets based on what we know (specifically the desire to showcase at a big games event, even if they haven't pulled the trigger yet), and say PSX this year. I dunno if they'll drag it out all the way until E3 next year, but you never know.

Cedric said the team are hoping to release something soon so maybe we'll see something at PSX, maybe a teaser, but I expect them to wait for E3 to release a trailer that shows the game properly.

I remember the tweet, but I think that was more his personal hopes than intent on showing something.

We may get something in the summer. I dunno, just got a feeling.

Don't have much to add to what's already been said. Very glad that they've decided to delay the game instead of making it a rush job. Also gives up more time for the HD editions to come out.

Really happy to see such a positive response to this too!

I don't mind the delay at all. I want them to make a game that won't just be the third game in a trilogy that will always remain a trilogy. I want them to make a game that leads the series to a fourth installment or more if that's what it takes. If ever there was a time to get a game right it's now. So much is riding on Shenmue 3. We don't want to have another situation where we're stuck in a cave except this time it's forever.

Well, it really goes to a choice of two events; PSX 2017 or E3 2018. If they are still planning on a reveal trailer at a large show, it will be one of those unless there is another delay (hope not as 3 years is a painfully long wait as is). Assuming it comes out fall or winter of next year, those are our only two options.

My bet goes for a smattering of info and small leaks like we've had with Kickstarter backer updates followed by a proper reveal trailer for the masses at E3 2018 with a firm 2018 announcement date. That's my guess.

I'd actually forgot about MAGIC.

Probably not the ideal venue for a big reveal... but a teaser and some screens in an update? Sure, it's possible.

Didn't he say "we are all hoping" implying it's the team that are hoping to have something available soon?

MAGIC would be a possible place for a small reveal, since Shibuya Prod. is one of the main backers.

Then perhaps a more substantial trailer a few months later at E3.

The only problem I see with this, is the backer demo. I think (hope?) we'll be getting it by the end of the year. They'd have to do some kind of reveal before they release that.

Maybe they could do a smaller trailer focused mainly on Bailu village and the content of the backer demo, and save the big, bombastic full reveal for later. Or they could just drop the backer demo without a trailer, which would be an interesting and mysterious way to do it. Let the demo itself be the first reveal.

Best err on the side of caution with that one.

Well if it were their intent at the time of the tweet I wouldn't be surprised if they changed their minds after the polarizing reception the latest character reveal got. It would be nice to see something soon though, even if it is a teaser.

E3 2018 Trailer is going to be the shit!!! So hyped!!
I was originally sad when they called a E3 no show this year, just because we would miss out of having all those eyes on Shenmue before release. However, now that it is delayed, we will 100% be at E3 2018 to show off some amazing footage of the game which will get the hype train rolling all the way up to release day!
