Shenmue being on Sony's list of games, Sony Magazine's poll, and stuff like that. Sure, it's not news
directly related to the development of a Shenmue game, but it's new information regarding events that have happened involving the Shenmue name. That can be considered news for Shenmue fans since we never get news anyways.

And by this logic, I can say "I'm not being an arsehole, but your missus' face looks like she got stuck in a washing machine with an assortment of knives", and get away with it because I said "I'm not being an arsehole".
He never straight up insulted anyone, at least that's not the impression I got. He said people are "willing to learn" because honestly not every person is aware of the things he's trying to explain in the video. I think you're making it a bigger deal than it really is.

What did he say were facts?

- Crowdfunding for early development stages, then go to SEGA for the rest.
- SEGA feeling "the time is right".
- In-house or third party developer pitching a reboot to SEGA.
- SEGA asking for funds from Sony, Nintendo, MS, and Steam (or anyone who wants Shenmue)
That's just a small number of em, and are over-simplified at that. Many things can happen. Hell, they could go under in a few years and have to auction off their IPs like THQ.
These are some interesting scenarios, but I think he wanted to focus on something that's happening right now. Right now, it seems Sony
may have an interest in acquiring Shenmue, thus being the most relevant scenario to discuss in the video. But I do somewhat agree, he could have brought up one or two other scenarios.

Honestly, he does come off very strongly. But, I truly believe he just wants what's the best for the series. And in his mind, the best, most logical option would be the PS4. He said it himself, if were truly up to him he would put it on the DC.
MiTT3NZ wrote:He didn't claim it to be opinion, he insinuated that it was fact.
I mean, at least he explained why he believes it to be superior. He brought up the transferring of saves and better voice acting. But he could have said it was opinion only.
MiTT3NZ wrote:Just pointing out how so many of his "facts" were wrong, thus discrediting what he obviously deems gospel.
Again, I think you're really exaggerating. He just has a strong tone and is very emphatic, I don't think he deems anything he said to be "gospel".

Each to their own. I was just explaining that that's his style.
MiTT3NZ wrote:Okay then, add an extra second or two n say "Wii-U and Xbox One aren't".
I mean, I guess? But what would honestly be the point of a 4 second video? lol
MiTT3NZ wrote:The point is, it could've been condensed, actually thought through, and made the argument the video was intended to make, as opposed to rambling on about how Shenmue won't appear on an Atari console and that the franchise was poorly handled.
Yes, it could have been condensed. But didn't you also say he could've discussed more scenarios, thus making the video longer? I feel like we're going in circles here.
MiTT3NZ wrote:Exactly.
Glad we could agree on something.

And here again, lol.

Fair enough.
