He said he originally planned 4-5 games to realise the full 11 chapters. With today's storage capabilities he could fit them all in to shenmue 3 given the resources so it doesn't really answer the question of what he plans to do now.


Not a matter of storage. He needs more funds to create all 11 chapters. To make all of the remaining chapters fit into Shenmue 3 would probably cost way more than he will have.

I trust you're an expert on video game budgets and have had extensive talks with Yu Suzuki on what resources he needs then to be able to say that so confidently.


Obviously I'm not, but I'm sure people will agree with me that it's budget.

So if other people who also have no idea what they're talking about agree with you that makes you right? For all you know Yu Suzuki has plans to cut enough corners to fit the rest of the 11 chapters in to Shenmue 3 and that's what he means by he would like to realise all 11 chapters. He did say before after all that it would be possible to fit it all in to a 3rd game if he absolutely needed to.


Well in that case yes it's possible to cram all of it in. But that would be compromising, my reply was assuming he didn't want to compromise and have the entire world as expansive as before.

He's already compromising by making the game on unreal and making it on a budget assuming that the statements about kickstarter being the bulk of the funding are true. I wouldn't go in to this expecting it as polished as the first 2 games that's for sure.


Him having a limited budget is why I don't want him to cram all the remaining chapters on Shenmue 3.
I would rather have 2 or 3 greatly detailed and fleshed out chapters than have all of the remaining 5 or so with limited content.

I've asked about the new systems and weird stretch goals

Well considering the 14 year wait between shenmue 2 and 3 he might feel like he doesn't want to bet ending the story on shenmue 3's success and I would fully understand him if he did.

Shenmue is credited with introducing/popularising the QTE. Given the significant advances in gaming systems and technology over the last decade, are you confident that you can show the gaming world something we have not seen before?
Thank you from all at Pioneer One.

I would too. Of course I'd rather see Shenmue continue beyond 3, but I think we can just agree we all want Shenmue 3 to be a success either way.

He did just say he wants to bring practicing FREE battle moves back so that's good news.

It's still going on


Thank you! I asked him. It's doubtful, but I'm hoping for the possibility.


Lol I just asked him for you before this post go back a page on here to see the link. Link me yours and I will upvote it as well so we got the question out there twice for double the chance.


Dude! Rad! Haha

EDIT: You asked it in a much nicer way than I did. Very specific and detailed. Nice job. Thank you! I upvoted, of course.


Aw thanks.

Yours has more votes now than mine lets hope it gets answered! :mrgreen:

I wouldn't go that far, but it has slowed down to a crawl. Didn't even manage 90,000 on the 4th day

Will practicing moves make a return in Shenmue 3 along with the FREE battle system? A lot of fans feel not being able to practice moves was big piece missing in Shenmue 2, and I also personally loved being able to practice and make the moves stronger. It really makes you feel as if you are learning marital arts and then performing them in a skill-based actual battle feels very satisfying.

It's not a confirmation. May be a stretch goal. Who knows. But it's good he wants to do it. :)
