I am really down today Shenmue wise. I have read two times today coming from other fans im twitter, even listen to them regretting that Shenmue 3 will please the fans but will fail commercially due to no be innovative enough. I am tired of the way of thinking right now in all media that says that if you can't sell like a Fifa, CoD or GTA your product is a failure, if you don't sell as much as ticket as an Avenger movie your film is a faliure... People, even in the press, does not take in consideration sales projections, commercial risks or investments.
Also, the stupid comment "it is not possible that it would sell better than the re-release". I am having a fucking hater day
I know how you feel, I've just read some news that were informing about the possibility of Shen mue 4 to happen only if S3 sells a fair amount of copies. Well, you'd had to read all the idiots talking nonsenses, some of them pretending to have played the originals saying that they won't play the third one because of epic/graphics/whatever or some others misinformed...uffff! It's better to not read the comments of the news.
We must do whatever we can to help the game sell well and don't listen to these people.
