In all honesty, I think Sega should embrace this moment whilst the company can. There's alot of promise here that in my eyes can only serve to aid them. They don't even have to do any work if they don't need to, obviously they are probably already getting a small % since they own the Shenmue license, but it's great publicity for them to get involved abit aswell. They could bring something like $5 mil to the table, like just bang in it in the Kickstarter project
. Joking aside though, if they get involved a little, they can get their logo credited to the game again, get other franchises more screen time at the same time. The capsule toys have always been of classic Sega characters and stuff, they could really go to town on it this time, maybe add some horrible Sonic Boom toys into the mix, anything to promote their characters again. Imagine a Bayonetta figure popping out of a machine
, would be awesome.
Firstly though, yea, they should definitely push Shenmue 1 and 2 HD remasters now, that would instantly boost Segas profile again, and maybe a little bit too obvious, but because of the definite release of Shenmue 3...duh, it would definitely bring in money for Sega, because so many people are unable to catch up with the Story properly right now. It's not an if or situation anymore, Shenmue 3 is definitely happening, and Sega would be absolutely fucking stupid to not take atleast some advantage of the situation.
