i don't know what's better; all the naysayers over the years of rumors/hopes that were on about shenmue's overrated/it won't sell/etc etc (jeff gerstman, i'm lookin in your direction, haha) or the fact that this site houses most of the people i legit believe never gave up hope in the face of all that. We saw Sega constantly refocus away from it (we'd get a nod with a Ryo racer, but then Shenmue 1/2 HD get shit canned along with SOA, etc), and the talk of Yu Suzuki doing mobile games/breaking off etc...and here we are.
again, big debt owed to Sony - look at that all star lineup on the KS page, people. we got the band back together! this could've been a cash-in, but it's being done right, and finally, Yu Suzuki will both get to finish his magnum opus & see a portion of the respect he deserves. it feels absolutely surreal.
...so yeah, what games do you think will be in the arcade this time? Plant Harriers, After Burner Climax?!
