Yes and no, Yakuza is a more straightforward action JRPG while Shenmue deviated from RPG norms at the time with its deep immersion when examining almost every item and being able to converse with EVERYONE you see, the need to sleep, training, Yu Suzuki patented combat system and optional part time jobs are all part of what separates the two IP's.
Similarities are the fact that they have side content such as extra games to play and are similar in scale.
"Step FOORWARD, Step AGAIN, then KICK!"
I wonder if they announced it so they can have a game to put on Nintendo's next console instead of finishing the first game for Wii U... just speculation, regardless of how silly it seems.
"If MS had asked for $2mil up front for Tomb Raider I would have had the exact same response."
But they didn't, because THIS happened instead...

They turned down Sony's full funding...

Damage may already be done, considering how many became suspicious of the KS being a scam and all that vile, when in actuality...

The claims of Sony fully funding Shenmue 3 were wrong. Way to go, guys...
I remember wearing out my ODM demo disc, watching THAT Shenmue trailed over and over and over and over and over and over... until I finally got the game. The joy, the bliss, the Hang-On, the Space Harrier, those forklifts, the sailors, that Scarlatto music playing while racing the highway to rescue Nozomi... nostalgia overload. T_T
It's definitely an improvement from last year, but PES 2016 is 1360x1080 on X1, 2% more pixels than 900p...

Probably the same for TPP.
God IS real...
Sony would probably want it console exclusive if they put up money, Activision would probably want it multi-plat because of their apparent jealousy of fan association of Crsh and Sony. Ego's would most likely clash a lot.
"It is hard to believe that Yu Suzuki really decided to come back to his hit series after a 14-year break to try and make a sequel on the cheap."
