Is Shenmue III going to exist yes or no?

I personally don't think it will.
I once saw a newsletter on teletext that Yu Suzuki says
''it is definetly not in production'', but that was about two months ago.
But I don't think they will make the game.

dude.. noone knows..

But i think it´s very positive that Dr. Dragon in that interview we got on christmas said "Please wait a bit more" or something.

I think we need to hang in there just a bit more.

i think it will be made. i think everyone who posts here has at least a small glimmer of hope. (recent evenst have reinforced our hope, but even more recent events have kinda hurt it)

I still keep hoping that Shenmue 3 will come.

You've got to keep that little piece of hope always, because you never know what is around the corner!

Well I really hope so, they can't just leave the story at that! It would be criminal.

***Brings hope back***

In my own personal opinion, I am sure Shenmue 3 will get made someday. Actually i am 100% sure. (and don't ask me why) I just have faith in them... Simply, if Shenmue 3 was never to be made. They would of tell us, or announce a cancellation. After they invested Sooo many cash on this saga, it would make more sense for them to finish the series. And on top of that the series is almost reaching its climax. Now, Would it be a wise choice for Sega to discontinue this series? No. { Look, The story is already completed, there were some chapters made, but didn't make it to the final game. (Shenmue 2) All the hard work is already done.

It looks like Shenmue 3 was scrapped for future plans. I'm guessing it happen early last year.(2003) Now, we all know Yu Suzuki left Sega-Am2. And got his new studio Digitalrex.( The man responsible for the Shenmue series) we all know that there is a link of Shenmue.com on Digitalrex website. The Shenmue.com website got redesign, it keeps updating etc... Now, you must question yourself? What is the sense of doing all this for a series that has been discontinue? Well,i'm guessing the series has been revived once again. In other words, Shenmue 3 could be in its development progress at this moment.

Just because u don't hear a word of a game. It does not means that it would never get made. Some video games company, would not show their work to the public, if is not atleast a 60-70% complete. Let's say Shenmue 3 got scrapped. Then when Digitalrex opened they started developing it from scratch. Digitalrex opened when? was it on october 1st? Now count from October to January= 3 months right? 3 months because we are still in early Jan. Now, Do u think they can get atleast 60% done of a such an ambitious project like Shenmue 3? .... (hint hint)
Now count from Oct. first to E3 2004.(Mid-May)= 8 months. The question is, Is it possible for them to get 60-70% completed of Shenmue 3? Hmm... almost impossible.(honestly)

Let's say Sega has a goal. This goal is to get Shenmue 3 70% completed before they can reveal it to the public... Now let's say E3 2004 comes, and they only have 50% done...Now they are saying to each other, guys should we show Shenmue 3 or not? what they would do is take a gamble, a gamble if they should or not... Now, E3 comes, No Shenmue 3. ( the fans are pisssed) Does this means that they haven't started whatsover no work of Shenmue 3? or does it means that Shenmue 3 will never get made? It is up to u to you to take this either way...

I don't know about the rest of you guy's... But this is what i believe.
Hell yeah........................ Shenmue 3 will get made someday. This game has to be in its development at this moment or some development to begin soon, either way....

I think that Shenmue III is just around the corner. But I'm worried that Sammy is going to get in the way though.

by **Samanosuke Akechi** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 11:49 pm
