I think Yu and Sony being vague about funding comes back to what Riku said. People would be 10 kinds of ticked off if they heard Shenmue had a big backer after such a dramatic and successful Kickstarter. People dropped hundreds, some dropped thousands to back this game. And then some big publisher(i...

Riku Rose wrote: If he said he had a staff of 100 you'll get people working out the average wage someone is paid and how much money in total there is on the project, then the bitching when people realise they was asked to Kickstart it when it's barely anything or the total budget.

I think you're right.

Also we now get a much better look at his belt buckle, compared to the Kickstarter Update. I had wondered if it was supposed to be an image of a pheonix (hence maybe a clue to a link to Niao Sun), but from the latest images it looks more like a flying crane or similar. http://i.imgur.com/dXAmtZLl.j...

Well, he wears a lot of red.

From the Shenmue Wiki:
"As a leader of the Chi You Men [Niao Sun] is said to be in charge of the south, in accordance with the astrological direction of her respective heavenly beast, the red phoenix."

I like the idea of no load times but I'll miss the black screen with the time and location.

^ I feel sorry for you. And you're creeping me out. I guess you didn't have many options being raised that way, but I still hope you'll manage to see through those things someday. Sorry, I have a habit of posting and then leaving for a while. Anyway, if I'm creeping you out you shouldn't give me th...

You could have just said Yes. :P I just wanted to confirm that it happened since things seemed to go silent, not asking when it would be posted. It would have been a shame if it didn't work out, as he probably asked questions that the mainstream interviews wouldn't have covered. I honestly don't kn...

They're most likely relaxed fit blue jeans like this.

I think at this point he's going to make four for sure. He's already talking about production of Shenmue 4 after 3 is finished. They should be able to turn a good profit from 3 because we're the ones funding the majority of it. That should lead comfortably to 4. So if the profit is good for 4 we sho...

I want him to make at the most five games. The longer this series stretches the more likely we'll never know how it ends. If he can finish it in four games and tell the story he wants to tell I would be more than happy. In a perfect world he would get five games or even six if he had enough content....

Based on other interviews Yu has said... Chapter 1: Shenmue 1 Chapter 2: Boat to Hong Kong(not in game) Chapter 3-6: Shenmue 2 I think with Shenmue 2 Yu had to cut a lot from each chapter to get to where he thought that game should end. He said in another interview a couple of years ago it would tak...

I think Deep Silver must have been very impressed with what they saw concerning the development of Shenmue 3. They see this as a big investment in their own brand and want to be a part of something as big as Shenmue 3 could be. In order to secure the publishing deal they likely offered to invest mor...

I think Ryo will be skilled enough to kill Lan Di but he won't. Not at the end of Shenmue 3. Probably at the end of 4 or 5. He will be the one to break the cycle of revenge. Lan Di will also have a change of heart and help Ryo take down Tentei not for revenge but for the sake of protecting the world...

I don't like the aesthetics at all. The whole environment looks too shiny. I know its at least a year before the game comes out, but this still has me worried. Especially after all those recent kickfailures. It literally doesn't look shiny at all, do you even know what that word means? I do agree i...

I think they want to make the HD remakes now but they're running up against the problem of having to recreate the game from scratch. From what I remember they no longer have the source files or something like that. And there's no way they're willing to put in the money to see this made like it deser...
