I honestly don't see why everyone is so disappointed, you weren't expecting him to come out at a game developers conference and say "SHAAAMOOO TWEEE COMING WOOOO" did you? The GDC is made for game development discussion, not game announcements. We have to be level-headed about this subject, not going off the deep end because he didn't say anything. I know its frustrating for many, you can't blame Cerny or Suzuki for anything, really. IF given the opportunity Suzuki would do it in a heartbeat, I'm sure.
Had a pretty docile attitude and felt that there was zero prospects in lieu of the post-mortem pertaining to Shenmue 3.
So I expected nothing, yet received less.
The fact that Cerny never even acknowledged the rumors that were swirling about HD ports, or whatever you want to call them, before Yu took the mic, was shameful. He could have, at bare-minimum, prefaced his intro by stating that they don't have anything to share about the future of the series or any ports. It would have taken 5 seconds.
It was the elephant in the room and he chose to ignore it.
It was a great presentation, to me at least. I enjoyed every second of it and learned quite a bit.
I just find it odd that he (Mark) acted totally oblivious as if someone wasn't going to say something about Shenmue 3, which was a waste of what little time they had today.
Also, why not have some questions prepared before hand from the audience? A lot of time was wasted translating and I feel he might have been able to answer several more and just focus on Shenmue 1 instead of Space Harrier (which I love) and Shenmue 3...
