As an OG Yakuza fan, by the time I was fed up with the series (Yakuza 5) it suddenly gained a second wind in the West and the New fans outnumber the OGs. I think by now even the new fans should be feeling a little fed up with the yearly releases, if that happens SEGA will try to shift their...

This reads like "My opinion is objective fact, and if you disagree, you're wrong", very condescending. It seems like you're one of the people who holds the Shenmue plot as the most important aspect, as evidenced by you saying "Suzuki should just release the scripts". However, people like me...

Bailu is great, the start of Niaowu is magical... Then its downhill.

Oh no, no one is disputing this, of course an RGG developed Shenmue will be more polished compared to Shenmue 3, it will have high production values, the Voice Acting will be professional, etc... What worries me if they will understand the spirit of Shenmue... Are they going to leave their...

Indeed, a satisfying conclusion needs time to develop, especially given the pacing of the previous games. On an unrelated note, if hypothetically RGGS would take the series reigns in the future, would it be possible they build off Shenmue 3 code? It's an Unreal game and RGGs are very likely...

Reading that Resetera thread reminded just how many "fans" of the franchise just want it to be done and dusted in any way possible... So many calls for condensing the saga (some suggest remaking the saga in one game and have you defeat Lan Di at the Kowloon roof)... Calls for making it a Yakuza...

Not releasing on PS2 sealed the franchise's fate. How unfortunate... And it's exactly the kind of game that sells well on Playstation (Story-Heavy immersive adventure).

This would've been a nightmare scenario a month ago, but after seeing the new VF, I can maaaaybe see them doing it justice. As long as Suzuki is in a lead creative role, and they understand that Yakuza is a completely different type of game than Shenmue

The only way 30-40 hours would be enough for Ryo to face Lan DI would be if S4 was 100% action game with Ryo facing the upper echelons of the Chiyoumen one after the other with no room for regular slow burn Shenmue gameplay, I think most of us don't want that. I want Shenmue not a beat 'em up...

The problem is that S3 didn't move the story in a satisfying arc. It's hard to go from Ryo getting whupped by street thugs in S3 to defeating Lan Di in the 4th game. It won't be satisfying and there is no way it won't feel rushed. The only way S4 could be a satisfying end is that if they...

I don't believe so. If anyone has interest in Shenmue they will go for the acclaimed Shenmue 1&2, and not jump straight into the third installment (That is notorious for being a meme punching bag). I'm not sure the audience for a re-release would be found outside of the hardcore fanbase.

Very short survey... It's clear there is a re-release planned, but I'm not sure if Shenmue 3 needs it. I voted for Real TIme Global Illumination. The interiors especially in Bailu all look "grey blue" because they're lit solely by ambient lighting, there isn't any sunlight bouncing around the...

Dou Niu wasn't obese, he's just a big boned boy

I can't believe Suzuki thought that Mr.MusclesThug #1 and Mr.MusclesThug #2 were a great idea for main antagonists after Master Baihu and Do Niu... I just can't wrap my head around this...Such a bizarre decision. Not even Shenmue 1 had such low stakes antagonists. Terry was the big boss of a...

What do we know about ININ? Do they have deep pockets?
