I've made a full translation of the fantastic Famitsu interview with Yu Suzuki on Shenmue 3 from Gamescom 2019. Some great questions and thoughtful replies from Yu.

"I want to produce a play experience that is like a solo trip. At the end of a solo trip, what stays with you? At the end of play, what stays with you? That, is Shenmue."

Excellent work as always. I know you've probably got a bunch of interviews and Japanese previews on your request pile right now, but is there any chance the 4Gamer interview might get fast-tracked? The Google translate version has some very interesting potential talking points, but I don't want to rush posting about them based on spotty machine translation.

Got you. I'll see what I can do. ?

Yes, the full game will be the proper experience. But not long until the demo at least!
