Yeah its Retro Playing Mag#4.

Regarding the translation, i started 2 hours ago, i am halfway through it but since my english is not that good, i will leave it to Shenmuedojo admin once its done. Feel free to rectify grammar mistakes, unusable words etc. I am more comfortable in french, but will do my best to provide a good translation.

If i keep working on it today, it should be done soon. I will add artworks, images etc, then we will decide (shenmuedojo,master and i) when is the best time to publish it.

See you all soon !

I was thinking about the fact that you needed to keep some things secret. Did Yu happen to give you a copy of Shenmue III maybe? Now, I know that you can't reveal everything. So just say nothing (or deny it) and I'll take that as confirmation.

:P

Yu Suzuki is a very nice person and i really had a great time talking with him about Shenmue for like an hour.
I made a promise so yes there are things i cannot reveal that's why i don't talk too much about it (i don't like bragging ^^), but i had to put it on the table because some stuff will be revealed to the public.

As for Shenmue III, no, i have no copy, because i do not think there is any copy of it yet. I don't say there isn't (i don't know), but there is no way i'd have one, sadly. ;-)

I always got the impression that he was a nice guy actually.
By the way, I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to brag. I was in a similar situation years ago where I got to know something much earlier than the general public. Only a handful of people knew at that time so I was asked to keep it a secret for a while. It was music related though, not gaming.

I know the feeling too. I was on set of the beach scene of X-men: First Class for about a week when they was filming on Jekyll Island, Ga. I didn't tell anyone anything that happened except my wife due to the spoilery nature of the scene. All of the actors were really nice. I was a stand-in for one of the main characters.

David; HUGE thanks for this :) we really appreciate it.

But I have a question - did Yu Suzuki mention anything about Shenmue 1 & 2 HD remakes for the current gen consoles? In my view, the ONLY way we'll get Shenmue 3 is if 1 & 2 are remastered and released (and do well enough to warrant a third game).

I don't think there is any way a publisher would release the third part of a (story heavy) trilogy, without the first parts being accessible...

Here is a (timeless) answer by Yu Suzuki, concerning that question:

Thanks for that!

Another question (I'm sure might have been answered) is, is he actively trying to get the license back from SEGA? I know there's the whole "give Yu the Shenmue license" thing, but is he actively pursuing this himself?

He is actively trying to find a fund partner and an opportunity to start the development of Shenmue 3. [The campaign has changed hashtag to #SaveShenmue.]
