The Dreams of Saturn project and now this one has gotten me really excited for future fan projects. I really hope this inspires other fans to do the same with the Shenmue world.

I agree. Look at some of the biggest games of the past 15 years, like Minecraft. Video game graphics advancing didn't mean the old style had to die, the same way modern music and 80's inspired music can coexist. I still absolutely love Shenmue's aesthetic and would have loved Shenmue 3 to look...

The thing is, the masses don't seem to like those generic open world games anymore. I said a few months back that now is the best time for a more Shenmue like Shenmue game to exist than ever before. When it comes to single player games, story focused games with smaller worlds have been a major...

Dragon Ball Z was everything to me and my brother when we were kids. We worshipped it. It's shaped who I am today. My hobbies and interests and I am sure my interest in Shenmue too. That is how much Akira Toriyama has had an impact on my life. I don't often feel anything for famous people...

Not yet. Stuff came out today about a new Virtua Fighter game though.

I was reading through the Twitter thread more and Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi are getting remakes first, then they will release reboots of the games as GaaS titles. The reboots will be f2p and the remakes will be full price games.

Apparently this person has a 100% track record when it comes to leaks and rumours.

Not so great news / rumours when it comes to Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi. Both will be GaaS games, exactly what I feared. Jet Set Radio will have guns and similar to Fortnite when it comes to gamplay. Take it with a grain of salt for now though. It could easily just be somebody looking for...

1 - Shenmue 2 - Shenmue 2 3 - ......... I've hit a road block already. Not because I can't think of any games, it's simply that there are too many to choose from :LOL:

It's Sega of Japan. Division 3, which is headed by Yuya Kimura, is the division that I am hearing is in charge of Jet Set Radio. They are also in charge of PSO2: New Genesis development, something I think has been more of a miss than a hit. They are also the division that is developing the first...

I found out that Jet Set Radio is being developed by Sega themselves, so at least one of these titles not getting outsourced.

Sega also put Ultimatum Games in charge of porting the PC version of the game to the Microsoft store..........Ultimatum Games have since shut down.

Remember the abandoned remake / remaster that Digital Foundry reported on a few years ago? That was D3T's original job before Sega cancelled it and had them work on the rereleases instead. How Sega could ever think such a small studio is capable of pulling that kind of thing off is mind...

Streets of Rage 4 was fully funded, developed and published by other studios, Sega gained nothing from it. So I suspect this time around it will be the same, with the only difference being that Sega will publish the games. This is where they stand to make profit on the games. I suspect that the...

I think I was right to be concerned about Streets of Rage. It looks like it's being developed by Komi Games, and from what I can see, they have developed a total of 2 games. This is one of the reasons why I said Sega are disrespecting their older ips a few weeks back. They are outsourcing them...
