If it also didn't come to PC, then yes it would be a dealbreaker. As much as I love shenmue, I usually buy video game consoles 4+ years after they just release. I just got a ps4 but played Shenmue 3 on my PC since it is more capable. I wouldn't buy a console just for 1 game no matter how much I love the series. I could use that money to travel to Dobuita insteadLet's take it a step further and say specifically exclusive to the Xbox Series X. Would this be a deal breaker for you? I'm aware of the irony of this scenario with them passing on funding S3 fwiw.
Yeah I agree. Even if Microsoft said it's exclusive to Series X, we all know it'd come to PC a year or 3 down the line anyways. This is just a hypothetical.I think Xbox exclusives are coming to PC gamer pass anyway so unless it was solely on Xbox I wouldn't need to. If I had to I would!
I couldn't care less, tbh. I'll buy any system it's exclusive to. My days of console fan-boying are behind me. I do think Sony has a better line-up of exclusives, but these days every system pretty much offers the same games.
I was thinking about that. Although most people might classify Shenmue 3 as "essentially an indie game", when the name Shenmue is brought up it is brought up as a big title, despite it's sales. This is probably due to it's legacy, but the fact is Shenmue is still a name which can be brought up among the media and still garner lots of press.I’d been wondering this myself. Although not a game that’s going to sell millions of units, one thing that Shenmue does have going for it is it’s die-hard fan base and it’s still a recognizable name in the industry.
in the unlikely event shenmue 4 only came to the xbox series x, i would be willing to buy that console secondhand just to play s4 and then sell the lot on at a slight loss (i'll need to re-buy a xbox to play halo6 lol).. its sounds like a lot of hassle but over the years ive done it several times before with other consoles just to play games series i follow.
Wouldn't it be worth just keeping the console? Why pay every time you want to replay a game? Say you sell it then two days later you wanted to play a said game again...
