Can't believe it's been almost a year since we found out that Shenmue 3 was real! But sadly, it's still a long wait until we can get our hands on it. Does anyone believe we'll actually get it in December '17? Or you think definitely it's delayed until sometime in 18? Funny that everything in my lif...

Interesting update! It's great to see them get experienced talent to head up such an important part of the process.

Does anyone else think the indefinite extension of the slacker backer funding campaign, coupled with the news that Sega is investigating an HD remaster, is evidence we will get the remaster sooner rather than later? Originally, the slacker backer campaign was to end on December 31, 2015 to give the ...

I'm now thinking we may see something related to Shenmue III at E3. It seems too coincidental that two guys who will be presenting at Sony's show, including the guy who introduced Suzuki-san in 2015, are meeting with him mere weeks before the event. Of course, it could be a simple progress update bu...

I hope that is genuine! Even for Shenmue to get mentioned by Sega is great news though. Personally, I don't care all that much about the licensed products, replace them with other made up brands and characters.

I happen to think we won't see anything related to Shenmue III. E3 is a time to announce upcoming projects for the first time OR to show new video of projects that will be important sellers over the next six to twelve months. It's not really a time to show a project update on something that's known ...

It's surprising that they can't fully confirm access to both VOs for all players. They have English Ryo and Japanese Ryo on board so presumably both VOs are going to be recorded. At that point, it would actually be easier to make one global version that gave everyone access to all VOs and all subtit...

There will be no exclusive games for the upgraded PS4. All games are required to run on both consoles and developers are not allow to build special features limited to the newer console. Anyone who has a PS4 now will be able to play Shenmue III. It's possible the game will have a higher framerate, m...

I'd never played either game until 2012 so I'm a relative newcomer. Shenmue/II instantly became my all-time favorite game and I've been a rabid fan ever since. I've beaten Shenmue three times and Shenmue II twice (both times on Dreamcast even though I also have the Xbox version). I will play through...

Shenmue III: Rise of the Machines

Use the original font and logo. He has the license, this is an OFFICIAL entry into the series, use the real logo and typeface.

There is a decent standard CD-R version out there with almost everything intact. A little bit of dialog from the least significant NPCs is cut out so you just have the subtitle to read but it really didn't detract from my experience at all. I think I downloaded it from theisozone.com. Of course, not...

After fees and such, they probably ended the KS campaign with $4.5m - $5m and they have some other undisclosed amount of investment funding. If I had to guess (and this is a pure guess), I'd say that money comes to another $5m. My guess is we are looking at a budget of around $10m.

I wonder if I will be able to play this on my 8 year old, second hand business pc? Maybe if I stick a gpu in it somewhere like the kids do these days? Maybe OPM will have it on a demo disc... 15 years... I'm also wondering how I'll be able to play it. I have a 3-4 year old MacBook Air and I'm somew...

I don't know if it was in a podcast or news article or exactly where I heard it but I have also heard about licensing issues holding back the HD re-releases. As someone above mentioned, some of the companies who developed graphics engines or video codecs might now be defunct. In fact, I distinctly r...
