Well, I am not one to say anything official about the game but I will say that the game is in great hands :mrgreen:


Good things are on the way. We will just have to wait. ;-)


I understand you can't tell us anything since it's not the right time nor the right channel for official news... but still, you are killing me!

"Good things are on the way"... like good good or just good meh? :mrgreen:


I will ask Biscay about what I can and can not say.

Sorry but yeah lol I just wanted to post that we met up.

Don't worry Shengoro, as far as "good good" things are on the way, I'm okay with the low profile :king:

That said, some positive communication from the Shenmue 3 Team would be very welcome after the Eurogamer interview title mess. Beat the media bashing... at least during the Paypal campaign. :???:

Just like in a fight, there's a time you can take a beating and there's a time where you fight back. I'm happy to wait for Yu Suzuki to have something substantial Shenmue 3 development blow away the doubters. This will be the counter blow! :mrgreen:

Hm, ok. When I opened this topic, I was actually expecting some information. Not necessarily related to the game itself but maybe something about the Paypal campaign, about the marketing strategy for the game. Something like that.

Anyway, I hope the food was good and Cedric and you had a good time. He sure does seem like a great guy!

The thing with Cedric is this: I don't doubt, he's a super friendly and loveable guy, I don't doubt his passion for Shenmue and I also don't doubt his competence. His company and he himself have proven before that they can handle Japan themed projects in the entertainment field even though they haven't handled a project this large. But I am convinced Shibuya will succeed. S3 is also a great opportunity for Shibuya to make a name for themselves.

We don't know what his actual job description as Co-Producer of S3 is but I'm getting the feeling, Cedric has to do a lot of other people's jobs on top of his own. He was the one who got behind solving the "no reply" problem for the Paypal campaign. He's been constantly trying to contain the damage from negative media coverage on S3 and trying to create a positive mood towards the game in the western media.

But the Paypal campaign and the PR work would have been Awesome Japan's job. Cedric and Shibuya can't always jump to the rescue and cover up for other people's mistakes. I'm afraid this will drain too much energy from Shibuya and Cedric sooner or later.

Cedric and his people should really be allowed to concentrate on their own job. Then they would deliver terriffic results.

So James, anything more you can tell us. Just in general, not even Shenmue related?


Nope! Sorry but some things will remain between us.


So then, this topic is literally just to tell us you met Cedric Biscay.


That's it. Not even what he had for lunch? :lol:


Bump. Just noticed this. We both had Croque Madame. Was nice.

If anybody meets Cedric next month, give him warm regards from the people who couldn't make it to Monaco.
