The good thing about Shenmue 3 and 4 is that Yu and whoever helps fund whatever portion of the game they're funding will be going into Shenmue 4 in the black financially speaking. If we do find a way to raise $10 million for Yu that will be the majority of what the game costs. So all the rest is profit, I would think. And profit that will(SHOULD!) go to make Shenmue 4. And then again hopefully Shenmue 5 if it comes to that. But man, by that time we're talking about 2022 or so...
Shenmue 3 - Dec, 2017
Shenmue 4 - June, 2020
Shenmue 5 - Dec, 2022
Wow!
