It's *all* in the bag, folks. In many, a lot of ways, we all need to be particularly thankful for Sony's ongoing support.

My apologies because I already posted this elsewhere in the forum, but I really do want to share my quick couple of thoughts and hope that they serve as inspiration for our continued efforts for Shenmue 3: Thank you all! It's been a damn hard road we've all walked on, but Shenmue 3 is surely reality...

Like all things in life, all good things will eventually come to an end - no matter how bittersweet that reality may be. Given that, chin up, guys. We've been waiting for this for nearly all our lives. And just as it is on the flip side of that coin of life, let's make the build up to and final comp...

Thank you all! It's been a damn hard road we've all walked on, but Shenmue 3 is surely reality now, especially with more or less 1 million dollars in just under an hour or so since the kickstarter started. But, although it may seem like we can all finally sigh in relief now, the work has only just b...

Let's do this! Although for the love of it all I've honestly forgotten just how many times we've already tried to do this...no matter. It's been a sincere honour in continuing to support Shenmue over the past decade and a half with all of you, and I never lose hope or enthusiasm for what Mr.Suzuki m...

Hmmm, this is all certainly very fascinating and encouraging to hear. Couple of quick points I'd like to throw out there: 1. Yakuza 5 is a fantastic sign that Sony - god love 'em - is actually working hard to satisfy their fans' requests. After all, never mind Shenmue for a moment. For the longest t...

What can I say? With every passing year there is always some kind of happening or event that stirs even the hearts of longtime Dojo lurkers into hopelessly believing that something, *anything* regarding Shenmue will happen. So, here's my worthless two cents: 1) Even if nothing happens at all with Sh...

I so desperately want to believe that stars *are* aligning: 1) Sony and PS4: - Like many of us conjecture, Shenmue is very much so best well known among the core gamer crowd and Kaz Hirai and the rest of the media train for PS4 are pushing hard to have the PS4 recognized as a core gaming focused con...

To be a Shenmue fan, that was *incredibly* soul crushing - especially more so than all the other soul-crushing crap that we often see and hear about as Shenmue fans precisely because the comment and the *way* in which the comment was offered was taken directly from Suzuki's mouth himself. You don't ...

Ah, yes. You indeed bring notice to the one glaring yet undeniable difficulty that has so perpetually plagued any of our ongoing efforts in campaigning for a continuation to the series thus far: the lack of true collectivity amongst Shenmue fans the world over. It is incredibly inspiring and reassur...

Hmm. What a conundrum we find ourselves in. In order for anything remotely close to the Shenmue 3 we all envision to become a reality, a number of circumstances need to occur in support of each other and concurrently. Sega needs to re-release Shenmue 1 and 2 to grow both support and a better underst...

As much as I hate to seem as if we were pressuring Mr. Suzuki to say something, I think Shenmue fans the world over at least deserve to have him explain what he meant *specifically* when he told the public that "[he] thinks Sega will let [him] make it". Has any one yet gotten Yu to elabora...

You are as it were, more than correct. I personally continue to respect, honour, and believe in Mr. Suzuki as an immensely talented veteran game designer. As such, if Shenmue 3 did come to fruition on WiiU, I have no doubt that he would be able to incorporate the console's main touch screen tablet c...

Yea, it was more than certain that the Suzuki x Cerny thing at GDC 2013 was just trivial conversation - two close acquaintances catching up with each other (you know, like - Suzuki: "Oh snap Mark, Sony hired you as the PS4's chief architect? That's awesome! Congrats!" Cerny: "Yeah, it...

Yes, that is fair enough - that the WiiU could easily be just as viable an option for S3 as PS4, albeit with some quibbles. It is not just about the controller/control modalities of the WiiU. Any games that come out on WiiU need to be fundamentally designed to incorporate, or at least involve passin...
