Esequiel Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 First of all, sorry to admins for my earlier post on this subject. I just wanted to brighten up a grey dull friday morning. On to the show so they say. Shenmue III. Will it or wont it happen? It has to happen. The only problem is the cost of making it, i heard it took 70 MILLION $ to make 1 and 2. This is the game that opened up a world to people, one of the first games that made me truly go... Wow!?! There is an article about this in the new Gamesmaster mag: So, what do you think. Will it? Should it?
MoogleViper Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 It has to. Until then my life will never be complete.
martinist Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I REALLY want it to happen, but its been over 6 years now and i don't think hes going to finnish the trillogy. *weeps*
Columnar Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Shenmue I & II are my favourite games ever and made me proud to be a Dreamcast owner. I would be over-the-moon if Sega did decide to make a Shenmue III and I still have some faith that they will deliver eventually. I never thought I would see a sequel to NiGHTS and it didn't exactly set the world alight either at the time (sales-wise) and with talk of a Burning Rangers sequel I think it will only be a matter of time. I remember rumours going around in 2003 after the release of Shenmue II on Xbox that the third installment will be a CG movie - even that would do me, I just need to know what happens to Ryo!
Owen Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 It NEEDS to happen. It'll be released on 360 and PS3 though, not Wii...I think the game would need graphical power as the third main location Ryo would visit would probably be massive and inhabited with loads of characters on screen at once without loading screens and the Wii probably couldn't handle it. Saying that, it worked fine on Dreamcast, so you'll never know. I want it now, hopefully it's announced at this years E3, keep those fingers crossed. : peace: Mind you, we all talk about this every year and it never happens....
Roostophe Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I reckon it will happen... ...but just not in our lifetime.
LazyBoy Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I will buy any console this comes out on, though it never will. However unlike Owen I want it on the Wii. I want to be picking things up in the supermarket with the Wiimote.
That Guy Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I'm sick of thinking about it. Until Sega say one way or the other they are officially a complete set of bastards.
Noodleman Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 It wont happen, and in some ways im glad its been too long since number 2. It will be massively hyped by fans of the series and will never live up to the expectations. And Sega are shit nowadays anyway
Aimless Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Of course it will happen! But it will be a Japan-only cellphone game. And then Sega will release Skies of Arcadia 2 as a gritty FPS, whereupon the Earth will take the easy way out and collapse in upon itself.
Mundi Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 The day that Shenmue comes out is the day i defy gravity
Shino Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I love Shenmue, but I don't want it happen. Sega must not be allowed to ruin yet another one of its series. And stay the hell away from Skies of Arcadia too! Come back when you stop sucking Sega.
Jimmy3000 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 i doubt it will. Yakuza has pretty much taken over from it and been more sucessful. A nigths style come back may be on the cards in the far future though =/
S.C.G Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 It'll happen, just don't expect it to be announced for a while yet and don't expect to be playing it for a while longer. :P Oh and it will probably be released for Wii.
K-project Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 If NiGHTS can make a comeback after 11 years, then I'm sure Shenmue III will turn up eventually. I still believe it will happen. The bit that does me though, is why don't Sega release some sort of box set with the first 2 games in it, just to keep the series alive a bit? I'd buy any console that could boast both these titles in a set, as I sold my DC some time ago. Shenmue 1 and 2 would be great on the Wii....

They will probably do that before they release number 3 to increase media attention and sales.
ShadowV7 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I really want this to happen at some point. As for graphical power, I would say the graphics from the previous ones is good enough. They can make it a bit better if they wan't but I don't think it needs that much of a boost. As for the console it would be released on, I have no idea. If it was the 360, it would fail in Japan, PS3 if it had really good graphics, then it leaves the Wii, but there isn't much of a hardcore base. All the consoles have the downfalls. Solution? Dreamcast 2
Mundi Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Solution? Dreamcast 2 I would implode due to immense amounts of happiness same thing would happen if power stone 3 would be announced, but that´s irrelevant
MoogleViper Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Solution? Dreamcast 2 Haha now that is dreaming.
Choze Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 There is Yakuza on PS2 and PS3 for Shenmue fans. I dont think sales of Shenmue 2 on xbox were really that inspiring.
