Just noticed Sega also registered a new Shenmue trademark in the European Union.

https://oami.europa.eu/eSearch/#details ... /W01251256

The interesting thing is the description:

41 Entertainment services, namely, providing on-line video games and on-line computer games; providing information on on-line games.

What is going on? Surely they're not thinking of reviving Shenmue Online or something. May this is a necessary step in order to provide a digital download of Shenmue HD??

Hopefully this means Shenmue HD. But for now im just going to look at it as exactly what it is: Trademark renewals for Shenmue, which is still a good thing.

It could be that Shenmue HD has online features.

Now that IS interesting.

I wouldn't get our hopes up just yet, though. Trademarks are often filed or renewed if something is even being considered at all, at any level, just to cover their bases in the event something should come to fruition.

Still, definitely encouraging that the trademark is alive. Digitally distributed Shenmue HD or Shenmue 3 passport-like functionality would indeed be awesome. And if there's any online functionality at all, they'll definitely need a partner such as Sega or someone else in all likelihood. And since Sega owns the IP, it would be natural. And a great gesture on their part.

This should answer your question.

Sega is Yu hidden backer. Sega will invest into Shenmue is very obvious.
It would be very idiotic if Sega would let an "Indie" looking game under their brand.
Especially now that they say they want to bring "Quality" to Sega games.

Yes the kickstarter success made them change their opinion. I bet they never expected the campaign to be such a success that broke world records.
Kickstarter was like a petition you had to pay to sign. Money talks louder than words.

You say money talks louder than words yet Sega has not said even a word of congratulations to Yu about Shenmue III's KS campaign.

^^ what i was thinking.
still, whatever happens, s3 should be in the game, and NO matter what shit $ega pulls, the trust has diminished, they fucked the dog to death, and we can't raise the dead. :oops: :mad: (and $ega has an impeccable record of treating their ip's like shit and flushing em down the bog!)
...
s3 is all that matters, and we all know who it REALLY belongs too. :mrgreen:
...
in reflection, sure the same was said, countless times. :oops: :oops:

Somewhere around that time. The Kickstarter video's were in late march, so that makes sense in terms of getting the ball rolling.
