Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to continue the Shenmue story without using the name Shenmue for the game.
I'm asking because Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast and Project Gotham Racing 1 on the Xbox are the exact games with only a name change due to licensing issues. They both use the Kudos system.
Is the same with Shenmue, where SEGA has the rights to the name of the game, but may not the storyline?
So, I do wonder if it is possible for Yu Suzuki to carry on the storyline without using the Shenmue brand name.
Any thoughts?
