^Thank you Henry, actually waiting even for more years can't prove
that we'll never see Shenmue III & the good news is that in this
industry pubs and devs never say never...
Many older SEGA titles like NiGHTS, REZ, Samba de Amigo, Space
Channel 5, Seaman, Sega Bass Fishing, The House Of The Dead and even
more are back so they should not have forget their 70 million dollar
Shenmue yet,...
In closing I must say that with lovely active places like Shenmue Dojo
& it's great members this franchise will never die!
>>>
In backing to this topic after a few months I should say that
even if Shenmue Online is officially canceled this can't be
the worst Shenmue news ever!
I mean they can use from Shenmue Online by adding it to their next
main Shenmue game as an online- extra mode, many today games have
more than one single player-offline-storyline based mode.
^In this way both MMO lovers and Shenmue fans can be happy.
So, we shouldn't say that they have wasted their time over nothing,
however we all loved to see Shenmue III(rest of the main storyline)
before any other Shenmue-related sequel or spin-off.
BTW here is a new news...

^It can be a bad news and many may say shame on Satomi
or *%*%? Hajime!, but maybe this means that they are going to focus on
bringing back more old SEGA titles via re-makes and DLC games? instead
of wasting their budget for developing more new(wester-based) IPs?
(something like what CAPCOM usually likes, as an example Okami was a
masterpiece but it didn't sell well on the PS2...no they are bringing it back
on the Wii)
