In Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3, one of the Pai characters in Quest mode is named "Shen Fa" with the tagline: "The Tree will Blossom Again", and there's a Lau by the name of "Lan Di"
I hate Sega, keep trying to instigate bad memories.

I'm sure it's there for no reason but the developers of these games know we are here and fucking torment us.

Huh, it's a more significant reference than the MJQ bar. But also of no consequence.

Many of the SEGA-AM2 staff once belonged to the Shenmue team.
So, it's more like nostalgia, maybe?

It's cool. So some people at Sega actually like Shenmue! Wow, I wouldn't have expected that. But nevertheless, nothing will happen because of that and no they are not hinting at anything.

Is this fact true, if it is then it's great how Sega are playing with our minds.

We all hate Sega. You didn’t need to say more than this.

just a bit of tribute in my opinion, suzuki has accomplished so much it is only fitting to put a little tribute into one of the classic games he has created

Suzuki never worked on VF5!
It's more promising that they said that, I think.
I do think Shenmue III will come, eventually, but not just yet (I don't think the article about 'a shocking title' is Shenmue).
But this is nice anyway, it means they are trying to reassure us they will make it, I think. When is another matter...
