Shenmue 3 would probably cost way more than 400k to start up sadly. Still it isn't a bad idea. Wish the same thing could been done for Megaman Legend 3 and some other games.

No. It won't be the same without it's original creator(s).

Yes.

Alright. If I worked at Sega, and I was in charge of getting shit done. First intelligent thing to do is porting Shenmue 1 and 2 to XBLA and PSN pronto. Simple as that. It is totally in the realm of possibilities.

People interested in buying the game for whatever bargained price decided can help revitalize the franchise in a new generation for gamers searching the online game store.

Completely packed and downloadable along with the game are a complete list of several achievements/trophies for gamers to unlock over the span of these 2 epic games, which not only encourages some to download it, but multiple playthroughs and more game time spent playing in the Shenmue world.

By finally getting these 2 games re-release for gamers to buy would test the waters seeing how many people are still interested in Shenmue, as well as how many new people are willing to give it a shot for the first time.

Reviewers can downgrade the game as they wish if it hasn't aged well over the years overall, in their opinions, but never the less, people would download it and enjoy it very much.

The only question is, will the number of people both new and old downloading Shenmue 1 and 2 be enough to satisfy Sega's pockets in order to get a motivating jump start on Shenmue 3? I'll leave that one to Sega and the fans to decide.

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.

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.

Only if Suzuki is behind it

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.
