On the bright side (and setting aside my belief that the games aren't so similar), a lot of people will probably complete RDR before December, and be left wondering if there's anything else like this coming out, now that they've got a taste for it.

The people who are going to buy Shenmue III are still gonna buy Shenmue III. It's not a zero sum game where people can only buy one or the other.

I think this announcement won't change anything for Shenmue III. Fans who have been waiting this game for 15 years won't mind about Red Dead, and the other people who still don't know what Shenmue is should be willing to play Shenmue III after the good reviews we hope the game will get. So yeah, nothing has changed.

Even if the simultaneous release of Red Dead Redemption was gonna eat away some of the sales of S3, which I don't think it will, I still think S3 will achieve greater sales numbers by releasing before Christmas compared to after.

i STRONGLY RECOMMEND they delay it. Die hard fans will most certainly buy it, but we want to attract new fans and the younger generation. If they have a choice between Shenmue 3 and Red dead. 100% they're going for red dead.

The marketing of red dead will destroy shenmue 3 marketing. Might as well wait a few months and continue to market shenmue whilst the red dead hype dies down, then release it.

Delay Shenmue III. Use the time between now and December 2017 to get the Shenmue I and II ports done and release Shenmue III in Feb-March 2018. All good in the hood.

1) Shenmue III will be delayed.
2) You're talking seasons. Do you honestly reckon there will be a seasonal window where it won't have to compete with a triple-A release?

It is better to delay Shenmue III, i think that too. Rockstar Games are more hyped.It's strange that Rockstar announce RDR 2 for Fall 2017 so surprisingly and they don't use the E3 this year.

Actually it's their typcal way of handling these things, they usually skip E3.

You're right. No possibility of a seasonal window without a triple-A game release. BUT... we are talking about Red Dead Redemption... a game that sold millions, did a very good job in attracting new fans ( including me ) and left us with that taste of "we want more" "we wanna catch those bastards that killed John Marston". And that was 6 years ago!

That's the same case with Shenmue man... we wanna catch Lan Di... we waited 14 years... bla bla bla... the felling is almost the same!

We share the same opinion!

I feel that RDR2 will release in Oct or Nov. Shenmue 3 will probably be delayed into 2018. I don't see a problem.

Cedric has already said in that recent interview that he think they can meet the release date and the best date to release a game is on christmas, apart from that, in which other date would you release a game? on June? Maybe, but the best opportunity is christmas.

Delaying the game one year is too much. I think they should delay the launch IF they have to polish thegame so that they can correct all bugs but delaying the game because of the launch of Red Dead...
