I just have a good feeling about this(Long Read)

[darksniper]

Hello guys. I've been a long time lurker and I decided to finally sign up.

Anyway, it seems like that there has been tons of Shenmue news in the past 2-3 months then there has been in the last several years. As any Shenmue fan knows, it's always safe to take that news with a grain of salt. But what feels so different this time is that there's so much news that's constructive and based off of facts (such as Ryo in the new racing game).

This is definitely a positive moment for the Shenmue fan. That's obvious and it's been said in other topics. But I just get this weird feeling that something is going to surface about Shenmue this year. Whether it's a remake, online port of the first two or the much anticipated sequel. Something is going to happen here and I just feel it.

I just really want to say that as a fan, I think if this does happen. We have ourselves to thank for it and the leaders who made it all possible. Had we not been so vocal, Sega would have simply shoved this series under the rug. Sending those boxes of (capsules, toys I think) items to Sega headquarters reassured to them that what we want from them is Shenmue and nothing else.

Anyway, I just have a feeling that some company will jump at the chance to secure Shenmue because time has somewhat caught up to Yu Suzuki's vision and I truly do not think Shenmue III will take another 70 million to make. With Shenmue being one of if not the most biggest cult following in gaming today, there's no doubt in my mind that Sega would turn a profit from it.

Anyway, I just would like to know if you guys feel the same way I do. We've rallied before as fans of the series. But I think this next one will be the final rally to finally get what we've dreamed of, Shenmue III

Long read? Obviously this guy hasn't come across Kiba yet.

tl;dr

[Master Kyodai]

Well i don't celebrate Shenmue 3 untill i hold the box in my hands after all these years, but yeah its encouraging to have Shenmue in the news again.

Last time we got our hopes up was the Kikizo announcement. And even I took that with a grain of salt.

I won't believe anything until I hear about funding or an official announcement.

We just need to keep the buzz going, even if it takes another 10 years.

[Riku Rose]

All we have is what SEGA told Famitsu. I think evreyone else has seen this and took it the wrong way making the news sound different but just being what we know.

[Martin]

Don't pretend like your butt cheeks won't be tighter than usual this E3.

[Riku Rose]

I'd say TGS is more likely.

[Andy Hughes]

Welcome to the boards darksniper, I have the same feeling too! Keep up hope

[Tomato Convenience Store]

Doesn't it seem like there's always a little buzz whenever Shenmue is mentioned in video game news somewhere? It can't just be me. It's about mother fucking time they made Shenmue III.

shenmue lll - sidescrolling action

[ThyDarkAngel]

I have the feeling it is indeed possible, likely even, that we will have some official announcement regarding Shenmue this year. Maybe not Shenmue III (not yet) but something and... Maybe, just maybe.......

[Mel0ne]

[SpikyAd]

Same. Come on, please be it.
