I don't know how you do feel, but I'm still struggling to believe "Shenmue 1&2" on modern systems is real. Can you imagine we are going to be able to play the three games on PS4 or PC? Having a save file that can be carried on from game to game is now something not impossible anymore! ...

How odd. I can't imagine it was a very detailed "preview" if they were just working on MAGIC '18 screens, and they didn't have a representative at the event to cover/interview Yu. Maybe they were just looking to fill space? Here's the "preview": https://twitter.com/MrBryanFiguer...

EDIT: I find it funny though that you reckon Ryo doesn't have time to hang out with friends when one of the major points of the game was the arcade. I said no time for romance, but it's a fair point. ;) The interactions with the NPCs in Shenmue are coherent when put in perspective with the story. I...

The burden of being a crowdfunded project is definitely putting a lot of pressure onto the team. It's a shame because what they need the most is serenity and trust. As Pollito Diablo said, we are lucky compared to plenty of other "conventional" projects because we have seen way more from b...

I came across this comment about Shenmue on Twitter and I would like to hear your opinion about it and generally speaking, hear your opinion about where should the limit stand when it comes to remake a game and change some core characteristics of it. (Let's call the author "Player One") Af...

Is it possible that we will see gameplay of Shenmue III this year? I hope for that! We know for a fact that a playable build of Shenmue 3 does exist. https://twitter.com/CedricBiscay/status/967290485869031424 The question is, when will Yu Suzuki and the marketing team consider that the time to show...

Please, stay calm... There have been many versions of Ryo even since before the original Shenmue was released on Dreamcast. As a matter of fact, no model will ever 100% satisfy everyone. The best model of Ryo so far, is the one used in the original games. The next best Ryo model will be the one used...

I'm less worried about the main characters models being different in Shenmue 3 compared to the original games on Dreamcast than I am concerned about the differences between the Shenmue 3 models and the potential ones of Shenmue HD. If Shenmue HD ever comes out and comes out before Shenmue 3, it will...

Personally, this screenshot from Gamescom 2017 gives me a sense of "smell". https://i.imgur.com/NPjXwIp.jpg I've been lucky enough to travel to South Africa once in my life and go out for a photo safari in the Bush at 6:00 am. There was something special not only in the air, the smell, but...

Speaking of Niao Sun and Mr Muscles, I just learned that there are two "Praying Mantis" Kung Fu styles. "Shanxi" (relying on inner strength and borrowing power to fight), also known as the "gentle Praying Mantis" style and "Shandong", which style looks very ha...

Just for the record.



I would be very curious to hear Yu Suzuki about those Easter eggs.
There on purpose or not?

I think we agree on almost everything. :) We'll see how it goes. I would be perfectly okay with no updates at all until sometime in Summer. But that's just me, or us Shenmue fans. As you've noticed too, the "average gamer" and mainstream gaming media tend to consider Shenmue 3 non existent...

We are just under 3 Months from E3 and I already know the wait is going to be unbearable. Knowing that they'll probably announce attendance/non-attendance ahead of time like last year has sucked away the anticipation of waiting, personally. Not only did YsNet announce the non-attendance of E3 2017,...

Knowing that the voice recording usually takes place towards the end of a development cycle, this is really a great and exciting news! I can't help but think (already) about E3 2018. We all have hopes for a new trailer at E3 this year and I was wondering if part of Corey's initial work could be use...
