Again, it's just one question and one weirdly worded answer, I hope that it was just slightly mistranslated

Vacations are always good! I will be there on 17th and 18th.

Pretty sure he's also previously stated S3 doesn't complete the story- I take his comment on story planning as they no longer have the luxury, time or budget to do 1 chapter = 1 location and so S3 will cover multiple chapters (but not all).

Yea I got the reply July 31, so it was 1 month ago from today.
I suppose they can be waiting for the TGS, but It's stupid to wait, just so you can announce it there(especially when the series doesn't even do good in Japan anyway, but even if it did, it wouldn't make sense to wait).

I mean I suppose they can make a big announcement like they are porting Shenmue 1, and 2 over to PS4/PC, but I don't even see that as a realistic possibility. At the beginning of the KS or more likely after it ended, would've made the most sense.
While I don't think Sega will ever port over the other Shenmue games, I'm interested in hearing what they have to say, I'm just not hopeful they'll be bringing over any non-sonic games, even though they promised they would.
The fact is since Sega made their big confession, they "literally" haven't announced jack, which to admit something like that, then go a few months without proving they are indeed taking steps to follow through with what they promised, is a really bad dicision(it leads to people thinking they were nothing but talk)

No offense but you're reading way too much into the statement made by Sega, while also giving yourself unrealistic expectations about how quickly new games can be released. Suffice to say, there have been plenty of phenomenal Sega games released in the West these past few years. These include awesome games from Sega's Japanese studios such as Sonic Generations, Valkyria Chronicles and the entire Yakuza franchise; just to name a few examples. While Sega's western development teams have also been hard work as well; best-selling strategy game franchise like Total War, Company of Heroes 2 and Football Manager has made Sega a powerhouse PC publisher. This is in addition to the success of many mobile games such as Chain Chronicle and Sonic Dash, two of the most popular mobile games in their respective genres.
Suffice to say, Sega has already done much that is worthy of your respect, if you’d just look around and starting playing all the amazing games that Sega has already available. Plus there a few more great games in the pipeline as well, with Persona 5 perhaps being the closest AAA Sega nearing launch. Anyway, the point of Sega’s statement is re-alliterate the whole corporation’s commitment to delivering the high quality experiences possible – while making sure the whole world knows it! Of course, this doesn’t mean that Shenmue 1 and 2 HD will be making an appearance at TGS 2015; it all depends on the timing of the situation and what other priorities Sega has for the event. Nevertheless, Shenmue 1 and 2 HD could be announced at any time over the next couple of years, it’s simply a matter of perseverance.

No Sonic game counts, that's just standard crap Sega would mainly release outside of Japan anyway. I have always considered the Yakuza series a slap in the face from Sega, so while I admit It's generally liked, I avoided that, on the grounds that I don't want to play just a dumbed down, appealing to a wider audience, wannabe Shenmue game(although I admit I like the idea of a action game using the Shenmue fighting system, providing it really does use the same fighting system, and 1-2 buttons doesn't auto do the moves)
I have no faith in Sega to do anything out of their normal western released games outside of Japan at all, infact I have more faith in Square release a quality game(which my faith in Square is way in the negative numbers at this point, but atleast they care about the non-Japanese market, where as far as Sega believes, Japan is the only gaming market in the world).
I just thought of something though, I don't think It's going to happen, but if they announce any western plans at TGS(I still find announcing releases for non-Japanese markets at TGS to be beyond silly, but still, developers have done such before), I think the most likely thing would be PSO 2, since It's a MMO(why this wasn't released outside of Japan, is probally one of the biggest mysteries in the entire history of the gaming industry, MMOs are insanely huge outside of Japan, WTF was Sega thinking), which would sure make a lot of people happy, and I guess would be a good start.
