Attempted to translate relevant bits:


Shenmue III is a game that has been awaited for many years, and at the same time a series that was extremely complicated to bring back. Many big players in the game industry tried to convince [Suzuki] but none succeeded, we had the opportunity to seriously persuade him and he accepted.

...

We’ve started development, things are progressing well on the graphical level, testing out the Unreal game engine, so the fans are very happy because we’ve steadily been rolling out new info as development progresses… Each screenshot and video clip is scrutinised by the whole gaming world...


Goes on to talk about MAGIC where Suzuki will be the guest of honour, not only is entry free but signings will be as well! The Astro Boy reboot should be coming out around the same time as Shenmue III.

Would be curious to know who the other players in the gaming world were who tried to bring Shenmue back but couldn't convince Suzuki and/or Sega. I think we can discount Microsoft knowing what we've learnt recently, wonder if there was any merit to those Quantic Dream rumours? Still think that was just clickbait rumourmongering though.

There is really nothing I can dislike about this guy.

Hopefully Astroboy will deliver, I stress about the relevance of his project since the last reboot is still pretty recent and rather honourable.

Watching Shibuya videos it seems they run a small and humble production company. I'd really like to know what their investments are in Shenmue 3 one day.

What a guy. He very much is spurring on the life of the franchises I really love and hold dear. Recently he started to follow Frederick Raynal maker of the original adventure horror Alone in the Dark and one of my favourite isometric games Little Big Adventure. So perhaps LBA 3 is not out of the question.

I do have reservations about Shibuya's involvement with Astroboy, it's such an iconic series whic as you mentioned has recently been rebooted yet again. I hope the art work on the Shibuya Productions site is no where near final as it's a rather awkward Astroboy design.

His reboot uses a typical West anime design and the studio in charge is French itself, that's why I'm a little surprised that he mentioned the Japanese market.

Yeah he considers Raynal as his friend. His Toy Commander was one of my greatest Dreamcast experiences personally.

He knows also the director of Life Is Strange. I wonder if he has any relationship with Michel Ancel in a Beyond Good & Evil 3 perspective, that would be insane.
