110 Industries & Yu Suzuki

[spud1897]

I still find it odd that the Shenmue Sega site is still offline....almost as if they're relaunching it

Only time will tell. We have some new announcements from Sega this year. The 110 rumors, and an expected Yu Suzuki announcement at some point.

It's going to be an interesting 6 months. That much is for sure.

We were talking about this yesterday and I'd love it if they re-did the site and combined it with the games and Anime. Merch, soundtracks, games, Blu-Ray etc the lot.

It would make a lot of sense.

You're crazy. I took the apple and banana every morning. Every FUCKING morning because it's FREE

And here I was choppin' wood like crazy to fund my garlic habit!

 

[Shmoopy]

Who is that Itagaki dude? (Dumb question)

 

[mjqjazzbar]

Director of DOA and Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2, also somewhat of a friend or acquaintance of Yu Suzuki's, I believe. I forget how DOA came about but I know the engine was either based on or heavily influenced by VF. The folks making Wanted: Dead, at least some of them, would have worked for him. They worked on Devil's Third, which I guess was really bad (though I've heard the multiplayer was actually great)...

What yu suzuki and Itagaki have in common is that they both want to make their games, but no one gives them money. :) When they leave Sega-Sammy and Tecmo respectively, they come across very bad publishers. :)

I'm sure Moby is missing a good portion of their 3rd party work, but interesting to me nonetheless... considering the proximity to the new Ys Net office. As far as I can tell they're mere blocks apart... in a very dense city. "Expansion of game engine" popped out to me.

Figured I'd throw a very dry bone to start the week right.

Speak of the devil, they started English-language social media in the last few days.

Another posting that popped up, that seemed somewhat interesting: right area, private company. - https://game--matching-jp.translate..._sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

 

[Shmoopy]

Can someone please replenish my supply of hopium for Shenmue 4?

 

[mjqjazzbar]

Someone who speaks Japanese, submit a resume to the private company. Let's find out which pachinko manufacturer they are.

Not at all related to Shenmue IV or any new announcements, but thought I'd drop a plug in here for Wednesday's extra special stream. I've caught a peek at something that'll feature and it's 100% worth tuning in for.

Yep, I can concur with Spags!
Absolutely put some time aside to tune in on Wednesday, peeps!

 

[ricerictwice]

In 3 days it won't be "a couple of weeks" but a month.

A couple of weeks in COVID time, we still have 23 months to go!

 

[Ichiban]

Just imagine if at some point this year we had even the slightest reason to believe that Shenmue IV is being revealed any time soon.

 

[Shmoopy]

Thread is slowing down

Thread is slowing down

 

[Daidj]

Yeah, you can laugh ! 😉

Let's see...
April 11th, 15th, 19th, 20th (well...), 25th, 29th (that's better...)

May 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 12th-13th.

So my bet is the thread is gonna relaunch today with 110i's new tweet, or tomorrow at the latest 😊

Let's hope it's black garlic...

Bet it starts with an S and ends with an a
S _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 _ _ _ a

They are a support studio that specializes in Unreal Engine, they probably have their hands in many projects from multiple publishers.

Based on that I wouldn't say that many, but certainly no evidence it's Shenmue-related. Just something to put out there as we consider our fourth week of badgering/forgetting 110 Industries. Market of Light at least shows what UE5 can do for a more exploration-heavy game like Shenmue. At this point I don't have anything 2 provide; the 110 Industries tweets were our last hope and we probably won't get more 'til TGS 2022.
