Somehow I never imagined Ryo and Shenhua becoming a couple. This theme of romance is a bit of a surprise. We don't really know the extent of the romance, but Yu has talked about the romance being platonic in interviews from last year (or slightly before?), so I dunno if they're going all the way. I...

Somehow I never imagined Ryo and Shenhua becoming a couple. This theme of romance is a bit of a surprise.

You can see a femtosecond of the train sequence in the original Project Berkley trailer. https://youtu.be/GQ6-QRThA8A?t=34s I recall from a past interview Suzuki said that the deleted Chapter 3 is interesting enough that he might incorporate it into Shenmue IV. I forget which interview it was from (...

Two.

I love the thought Suzuki had behind the making of number three. I thought it was a very beautiful, heartfelt gesture but I do prefer number two.

Here's a thought: Maybe he could continue his idea of personally writing something in Shenmue himself but just not the title?

Personally, I don't think we will see a forced ending to be honest. That's not me just being a fanboy or being blindly optimistic when I say that, its me basing it on what I'm seeing and hearing regarding Shenmue 3's development from its creator. The whole reason Suzuki is not completing the story a...

When Shenmue is completed at Shenmue 4 I think the only other games I would be genuinely interested in seeing from then on would be those secret game concepts Yu has locked away at YS Net.

"I think that probably after we finish this, the next one, Shenmue 4 – it will be coming. I have to do something – I have to start something – so the next one will come." https://68.media.tumblr.com/f87fc61d9d77c58fed997f6f6bede76a/tumblr_inline_o8dt71LMuG1t7bxs0_500.gif

I'm going to assume that all of the stretch goals have been met. There were so many interviews put out this week but I think I recall in one of them that the project has now expanded BEYOND the Kickstarter. (Hope I did in fact read that and didn't dream it.) So I'm well hyped about that! What I'd re...

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Seeing all the fan art is fun so glad you got inspired.

This is lovely. Very nice gesture.

I'm getting serious Wendy Oldbag vibes from her https://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldfoo4hX461qcl8ah.gif I myself am getting some vibes of the landlady from Kung Fu Hustle. https://www.reelingreviews.com/kungfuhus...

Looking at this part of the interview: Q: So for now then, the story won't be completed in Shenmue III? YS: No, I don't think it will be completed. It just won't be enjoyable if forced to a conclusion. Of course Shenmue 3 won't be the last game but the way Suzuki says 'I don't think it will' makes m...

Decided to convey my emotions on this issue through the art of film.

Its going to be interesting to see how the Stretch Goal and Slacker Backer pages look in a few weeks. Presumably there'll be some more 'ITSSS A SCAM OMG!!!111' articles once again from the lower end of the gene pool.

QTE's based on sound and light already sounds far more innovative for the QTE mechanic in the 10+ years that its been regurgitated everywhere.
