I just really hope, like others that it's out in 2018. The year that Shenmue finally comes back.
I personally think it will be delayed until 2019 because we haven’t seen footage of gameplay yet. We don’t even have concrete details regarding what gameplay will actually be like; for example, the changes made regarding combat are ambiguous. Btw don’t think I’m one of those who hates the game so far. Far from it, I’m optimistic and hope this is the Shenmue we deserve.
However, it’s not just that I think Shenmue 3 will be delayed, I want it to be delayed because I don’t want the game to not meet our expectations. I don’t want Yu Suzuki to feel pressured into meeting a 2018 release date and rushing the game. I’m patient and perfectly happy for the game to come out in 2019, as long as it’s great.
