but for E3 2016 however - i'm sure they might be ready to show something really great like an amazing trailer, if not actual gameplay.
Yep, at best PSX is simply a rehash of the Chinese presentations with smoother and clearer movies. I say E3 2016 Shenmue 3 to show something more meaty with E3 2017 to full overdrive hype.
I actually don't expect Shenmue III to show up on another Sony E3 stage. And if it does, than it'll probably be in some montage with other games coming to PlayStation. I wouldn't expect it to be a major focus in any form. And that's alright, I'm fine with that.
Having it on stage at this year's E3, especially in combination with The Last Guardian and the Final Fantasy VII remake, was a huge bang. But that's that, that has been done now and there isn't much more to it. Revealing the long lost Shenmue III was huge. Showing the now existing Shenmue III wouldn't be. It's an action adventure. It'll probably look pretty good, play pretty good. But it won't blow anyone's mind who doesn't already know and care about it. Fanboys claiming "Yu Suzuki will revolutionize gaming again" make me cringe. Most of the press people don't care or don't like it anymore. Why should they waste time on that, when they could show the next God of War or something new instead? The hype isn't as big as some of you pretend. It's just us, we're not that many.
I could be wrong of course. We'll see. For now I'm still hoping for a Shenmue HD announcement by Sony in the near future. Maybe even as early as PSX 2015.
