"When asked about the possibility of modern remasters for Shenmue 1 and 2, Suzuki notably didn’t outright deny that the remasters were in the works. “It’s something I can not talk about for the moment,” Suzuki said"

Hmm, usually he says something like "i hope so" and that he would love for them to be remastered. With the response he has given here, it makes me think the remasters are on the way (possibly)

Marcello3003d ago

It would seem crazy not to remaster them after the success of the kickstarter. Gio Corsi posted this on twitter last year May.

Its no confirmation i know but they know what we would make of that pic.

JaguarEvolved3002d ago

I've never played a shenmue game but I'm so glad for the fans that they will get a chance to play shenmue 3 and shenmue 4. I'll definitely check out shenmue 3 and 4 to see how they are.

ChrisW3002d ago

It's all about money. They obviously do not see it as economically feasible to remaster them.

With that sadly being said, if they were to do anything with them, it would be AWESOME for them to be included with Shenmue 3 so that those who didn't get a chance to play would be able to do so.

darthv723002d ago

Sega has been hangin out at MS so its possible that meeting results in a couple remasters... maybe even a ver of 3 for xbo after it releases on ps4 / pc first.

ApocalypseShadow3003d ago

I'll definitely buy a 4 if there ends up being one. I'll take a remaster of 1,2.

I'll even take a virtua fighter: shenmue addition fighting game. Where the characters and backgrounds are from shenmue.

Give it to me Yu!

Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Friday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 5 weeks past. I began this 6-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $85 per hour.. Go this web and start your work.. Good luck.... http://www.fl-y.com/3r8h

_-EDMIX-_3002d ago

Well I believe Sega is working on it and has probably been working on it for a while.

notachance3002d ago

Probably most gamer this generation haven't played the first 2 games, it's in their best interest to let us play them in order to generate more hype for the third game.

DarXyde3002d ago

I wonder if they're going to cut the SEGA content from it.

Probably not. If it's happening, SEGA might appreciate the advertisement.

I want to replay Shenmue 1 so bad.

Just get this one finished first before discussing the possible future of the series

Abash3002d ago

I dont know, I am getting excited thinking about playing Shenmue IV with my grandchildren.

Segata3002d ago

And you will be dead when Shenmue V finishes the story.

georeo3002d ago

Hahah stop it. But its so true lol

_-EDMIX-_3002d ago

Well you have to consider that the artist and the people who wrote shenmue 3 have likely finished doing their jobs probably a year or two ago.

I see no reason for them to just not work on the story of shenmue 4 considering it's not going to benefit them to wait till shenmue 3 is released to do something they could do right now for 4.

Sgt_Slaughter3002d ago

Please don't bite off more than you can chew. People are already worried about how 3 is going to go, let alone a 4th.

It's great that they want to do further installments and/or remasters, but see Ghostbusters for what happens when you overhype and plan too far ahead.

_-EDMIX-_3002d ago

He might some little talking about the writers and artists.

I'm pretty positive shenmue 3 story is not going to be finished being written the day before it releases.....

It's likely already been written for a long time as to why the writers are talking about 4.

Cy3001d ago

The point is most people thought 3 would be the end of the story, especially with how long it took to make and how much trouble they had to go through. There's no reasonable guarantee that there even will be a 4th one at this point, so he's basically saying "here's an incomplete story again guys, but don't worry 4 will totally come out".

_-EDMIX-_3001d ago

How is the story incomplete? I mean have you not figured that anyone could make a game with the concept of it being multiple games and not make an incomplete story? Mass Effect was also planned for a Trilogy are you telling me that Mass Effect 1 is an incomplete game? I'm sorry but I just think that's kind of absurd.

You're basically trying to say they should squeeze 4 or 5 games that they have ideas for into one NeverEnding horrid development.

No.

If they have ideas for a fourth or fifth game I think they're completely free to express that and continue writing for it for all we know the success of shenmue 3 with a more realistic budget might allow them to be able to successfully continue development compared to the original games.

Trust me these games are not costing 70 million to make....

You don't see me complaining about getting more of a game series that I like I don't even see any reason to get upset over this.

TheColbertinator3002d ago

Lan Di escapes in part 3 also :/

Segata3002d ago

Well he was part of a larger organization so maybe we defeat Lan Di but bigger stakes happen to take on the whole bunch.

NoPeace_Walker3002d ago

Shenmue Part 4. 2026 release date on PS6 and XBox One X3.

Only so much time in life so hopefully it gets finished before it’s too late

CrimsonWing69542d ago

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,

Agent75542d ago

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.

Rynxie541d ago

Sega had nothing to do with shenmus 3.

Nerdmaster542d ago (Edited 542d ago )

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.

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.

Chocoburger828d ago

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.

shinoff2183828d ago

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.

Knightofelemia828d ago

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.
