I know the feeling haha. I swear it's getting harder and harder to wait for pay day lately. It feels like we're getting squeezed tighter and tighter with the cost of everything going up so much.

Not sure if it helps, but if you did want to pick it up, I am sure you can get it below £70. I picked it up for £60 on release day.

Don't know about prices. Video games are the one medium of entertainment that hasn't really increased in price all that much over the years, when adjusted to take into account inflation. If anything, the prices are lower than they were in the 16 bit generation and certainly that the price of N64...

But that's kind of my point. They're not just a remake. They have made something entirely new from the source material and are taking the story in a very different direction. It's greatly expanded. If it was a 1:1 identical remake, I would possibly agree, but it's honestly a very different thing...

Have you played them? Remake and Rebirth are incredible and they absolutely justify their existence.

I like the Division Bell a lot. It's an underrated album imo and better than A Momentarily Lapse of Reason and that weak Endless River album.

I think out of those, likely ones are: Freedom Planet 2 Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 Turok 3 Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered Star Wars Dark Forces Less likely, but possible: Simpsons Arcade Snatcher Policenauts

As this is the billionth time this has happened, just don't get your hopes up for it being Shenmue IV. LRG primarily publishes and releases physical versions of games that already exist in digital form, as well as releasing licenced reproductions of retro games. I know he said something about...

Even if it's not Shenmue, reply to him guessing Shenmue 4. It shows there is still a strong demand.

What was an April Fool's joke?

I disagree. I am not saying it's not difficult and not an uphill battle, but plenty of more niche Japanese properties have proven they can occupy space in the industry and find success in the West. Just look at the Persona franchise, games like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Yakuza. Beyond that...

Hey, that was kinda my fault, to be fair.

Shenmue 4 will bring peace to the Middle East.

I'll phone up LBC to talk about the Israel-Palestine conflict and be like "well, personally I do think we need a two state solution, but the only way that will ever be achieved, with lasting peace, is if we get Shenmue 4"

Let's all cosplay as Shenmue characters, get a massive crowd of us and do a flash mob dance outside Sega HQ. Get a professional videographer to shoot it and then get it to go viral online. Failing that, we all start calling into random daytime television shows around the world, pretend we are...
