Sorry. Just popped up on my feed. But like I've said, odd behavior for a company not interested in continuing the series...
Being a Shenmue fan is like being on a Helter Skelter...!Happiness is a warm-er gun.
Could mean anything.Keep the faith?
Being honest I'll be surprised if we heard anything Shenmue 4 related this year. With Covid bringing many games to a standstill I'm not worried about this year.I'd really not mind seeing Shenmue IV become a reality at Gamescom. I'm really hoping for just a good show.
E3 this year was very, very bad. It's a shell of its former self and Covid didn't help much. As we get closer to the end of 2021(really??? we are that far in already?) I'm ready to see the plans for late 2021 and into next year.
Shenmue IV is probably going to happen, especially since they plan to support the PS4 through at least 2023 I read.
As amazing as Shenmue IV opening Gamescom would be, it seems all of gaming's eyes are on this conspiracy(or is it?) that Blue Box is Kojima messing around again for Silent Hill/P.T. returning.
That being said, our hopes aren't being shot down by any means by the people who got us Shenmue III. I still have faith, even if doesn't show this year.

It's more if we got towards the end of next year without some sort of glimmer, anime aside, that gives us some impetus.
That said keep making noise on these sorts of tweets etc. It keeps the name out there and pressure on the publishers who might be thinking about it.
Indeed, there's a bunch of older games coming back. I noticed Powerslave is coming back as an example.Nostalgia is at an all-time high and many games are capitalizing upon that, as well as movies these days. I personally believe Ghostbusters: Afterlife looks fantastic and exactly what fans were hoping for in a 3rd film.
Perfect Dark is returning, etc. Shenmue has enough niche popularity to ensure another entry without crowdfunding, hence DS wouldn't have classified it as a "core niche property". That implied importance.
That would do us nicely.November 2021 will be two years since the release of Shenmue 3. I hope we get some form of update by then, even just a hint from Cedric or Yu that Shenmue 4 is happening.
