5 Things Shenmue III Should Have

SEGAbits: "If there is one thing Shenmue fans can’t get enough of, it’s ‘Shenmue III’ speculation. Fans have put everything from obscure items found in the Hazuki basement to AM2 concept art under a microscope in hopes of finding clues towards what we could expect from a ‘Shenmue III’. Unfortunately, that speculation went from fun in 2002 to nearly hopeless in 2005 to hopeless in 2009. Despite a sequel being nowhere in sight, the past year has provided a few glimmers of hope"

... but the most important to me is that it's:

1: Uncut! (none of that Yakuza 3 'oh we left that out cause we felt western people might not 'get it' ' BS)

2: The original language! Yeah I know some hillbillies go absolutely mental when they see subtitles, but most people, especially the people interested in Shenmue and thus japanese/asian culture and games and all that, would prefer to at least have the option of the original voices!

The english dub for Shenmue 1 and 2 was horrible. I didn't even buy Shenmue 2 (xbox version) because it was dub-only.

3: I want cool mini-games again, and collectibles, and cool photography-missions, and arcade-cabinets with old great quality classics (Daytona? Afterburner 2? Virtua Fighter 3?, etc etc)

4: I want the original music, and not some 'western version' by some 17 year old american chick.

Ah well... knowing Sega, they will do everything in their power once again to make all the worst decisions and screw it all up again. They make great games, but they're dumb as hell about giving their western gamers what they want.

But I personally think it was awesome, it add to the charm of the game, just like how the Voice acting in Resident Evil 1 added to the atmosphere.

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

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.

Sega had nothing to do with shenmus 3.

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.

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.

Knightofelemia841d 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.
