E3 2016 & Shenmue 3

[Spaghetti]

Hello again everybody. Thought it was appropriate to come ride out the last big E3 conference of the night in this thread. Though I'm sure you all know my position on the matter of Shenmue III showing at the conference tonight, there's just enough ambiguity that it'll be worth a watch no matter what happens.

Do we know if Yu or Cedric is are at E3 this year?

Like Mr357 said, Cedric won't be.

Strong possibility Yu will be though, considering the "Have Dinner With Yu Suzuki in Los Angeles" rewards were tentatively set for a June 2016 date, which would obviously coincide with E3. His Twitter is all quiet, but he's not the most prolific Tweeter anyway, so-

After sony freaked out about the forklift photo, when even us fans just thought it was trolling (wow, at that point I was pissed off, how times change), I don't think yu will be tweeting much about anything similar to Shenmue when there may be something around.

Mm. I meant like Tweeting about his flight rather than his tease, after all, it's no secret he'll be in LA during June this year.

Then again, Yu isn't a prolific Tweeter anyway like, say, Kojima is. I don't think anything regarding Shenmue III would be as closely guarded a secret as it was last year though, and so there probably wouldn't be a huge lockdown on teases being put out there.

All set up and ready to go.

Man im falling asleep. A full dau on the beer before a 2am conference is not a good idea.

An interesting tidbit from EasyAllies, is that normally before these press conferences the inner circle of executives are usually aware of whats going to come along, even in codename form. But apparently Sony have not revealed to anyone, even Geoff Keely, about what they are doing tonight.

The response was...dropping bombs.

[shredingskin]

I would love to see the easy allies stream, but twitch works like shit to me.

[Peter]

Oh shit look at that stage....

A live orchestra..... SHENMUE OST?????

[Yokosuka]

Perfect orchestra for you know what.

[Peter]

Christ it actually started off with the timpani drums the exact same as Sedge Tree. I near had a heart attack!!

But how do you start the sequel press conference to the arguably best one of all time?? With a dramatic live orchestra!!

[shredingskin]

Sony knows how to put a show.

I was just thinking how good was the ubi conference (that gaming was shit) because aisha was a pretty damn good host.

[Peter]

The orchestra will be playing all night...

DUDE!!! Dont do this to me!

Shenmue OST live at Sony????

[Yokosuka]

So far this show is just WOW.

[Peter]

Even without Shenmue theres absolutely no way i am disappointed. Sony are just killing it again. But we are running out of time, maybe 30 minutes left? and theres still no sign of No Mans Sky or Red Dead (rumor).

Shaun did say he would take us on the journey tonight, so perhaps no Boyes or Corsi.

[Peter]

Ok, so no Shenmue, but still an absolute kill of a conference. Sony just bring it. We are in good hands.

[Kiske]

And now we wait for a Kickstarter update.

[James Brown]

Yeah, seemed to stop abruptly, didn't realise it was going to end then. Was expecting it to go on until 4am, like 2 hour period like I think Xbox did earlier.

Everything they showed was awesome though, RE7 ...

But was expecting a few more things, if not Shenmue 3, or HD, but new trailers for Gravity Rush 2, Red Dead 2, Persona 5, Yakuza 0...even a new Sonic game was rumoured (I guess could appear for Nintendo though)?
