We're just going to have to keep sitting on our hands. At least we're less than a month from E3, and just a few weeks from another update.
I do have the nagging thought in the back of my mind we're not going to get the re-reveal we want, though. I guess you can't really remove every bit of residual cynicism.
Surely if get what the 10K backers got at the very least that would be jaw-dropping. Anyway, as I (attempted) to write in a very lengthy post yesterday that Chrome deleted (for good or bad): there's so much this year in terms of Shenmue-esque games we're getting that Shenmue 3 pushed back so afar that we don't really feel much of anything (I know that's not applicable for anyone but it's certainly makes me feel more patient for our anticipated third entry).
And with that: OH MY WORDZ they need to drop the Shenmue HD info on us prompto! If they do, that'd be more than enough to anticipate (though I expect it only makes sense that they'd at least acknowledge Shenmue 3 in that situation). I wonder just how dense things will be, will they even bother to promote titles like Yakuza Kiwami/6? Kiwami is coming out so soon and surely they won't show 6 in order to not detract us from the attention of Kiwami. Heck Sony c'mon, just go ahead say that you'll make playstation a new home for Shenmue (and Yakuza too), I think that's all they need to do to rile us up.
I have not doubt what they'll show for Shenmue 3 will be awesome. It's the first real/tangible reveal that I'm sure everyone there has had an idea for how they want it to be, imo all it needs to do is to top the 10K backer trailer at the very very least, which I'm sure they'll achieve easily because that sounded great in itself. I'm sure it'll follow the style of the Shenmue 1 and 2 trailers, which as we know are all amazing. It's just a question of when and where that I think will pose opinions/concerns from those who wanted it to be at a particular convention or at a booth for exposure.
But yeah, 28-days-ish and we'll get a clearer picture of what's ahead. And on the subject of pictures, I just found this gem:
(I love how in this picture, #SaveShenmue has a whole new meaning when you pose it with that picture! xD Damn Joel you beautiful sonova beach!)
