In a new update posted over on the Shenmue site, Yu Suzuki has revealed that the game will be going in to full development now that the planning phase is complete
"Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements"
I think that’s the problem. Just give us a conclusion like we were hoping for with 3 instead of basically pulling a Shenmue 2 on us and leaving it all in limbo again,
No trilogy collection? All the years Sega knocked out Shenmue clone Yakuza, yet took years to release Shenmue 3 on PS4 only. Was made waiting all those years after Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast.
And they think it's a positive thing?
Potential new fans won't be interested in future sequels because they would need to know the story of all the previous games.
Old fans who were burnt by 3 (like me) won't be interested in the next ones. Especially if they are fillers like 3 is.
The truth is, Yu Suzuki threw away his golden oportunity of finishing the saga in a dignified way. Old fans were thirsty for its conclusion and they got good money on Kickstarter.
Now that they made 3 with some of the worst game design decisions in any modern game, and made the plot be a useless filler, a Kickstarter for 4 would probably fail badly, and the shameful sales of 3 won't convince any publisher to put good money on a sequel.
Cultured Vultures: These 15 unresolved video cliffhangers could be solved in the future, though if we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know there’s no chance in hell of that happening.
Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.
I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.
The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.
I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.
Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.
Daily Video Game writes: "If you are a fan of indie games, PlayStation Store has good news for you! PlayStation Store is running a new game sale for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 gamers that heavily discounts over 1000 indie games right now!"
I guess that post Kickstarter summer vacation is over. Mark my words there will be another Kickstarter in a year and half to quote "finish the game". 2018 at the earliest folks.
Easily my most anticipated game of maybe the generation. And i say maybe because i want to stay objective. I have never been this happy to know a game is incoming.
I would say day one but ive already paid for it ^___^
Why no news on Paypal ? it's been over a month and a half since it was confirmed but nothing has happened yet.
Shenmue... my long lost love.
Ah who am I kidding? It never was lost. Only on vacation. It's pleasantly strange to see the plans coming together. I hope to see another status update next month, and I can't wait for this game to eventually be playable on PS4 booths at game events across the world, knowing that is the game I contributed to make happen.
It's a bummer we will have to wait until two more years, but it's nothing, NOTHING on the wait we've endured since 2001. Now SEGA, give us Shenmue HD in the meanwhile. You have time, we have money.
