Shenmue 3. Please?

[Gauwin]

Ive been waiting for the last game of the series, and im dying to know how it ends. Anyone knows if its even coming out or?

There's a gaming magazine on Teletext in England called Gamecentral (formerly the late, great Digitiser). Every weekend they have a topic to discuss on the letters page, like 'what's your favourite Transformer?' or 'How do you feel about the PS3?' Every week, regardless of relevance, someone writes in asking for Shenmue III. Makes me laugh.

I don't know if anyone out there's got any facts, but as far as I know the games are too damned expensive to make and wouldn't be expected to sell well enough to recoup it. Given that Yu Suzuki originally wanted to make eighty-three Shenmue games to tell the story (I may be exaggerating ever so slightly) it's difficult to imagine that he'd satisfy himself with just one more (Shenmue Online aside). Personally, if it made a difference, I'd buy two copies. I need closure.

Plenty of online petitions floating around, though, for all the good they do.

Ha, I read GC.
Cough, anyway, as great as a new Shenmue 3 would be, if they we're gonna make one, we'd know about it by now, surely. Somehow, I think its one of those series' that has been consigned to the annuls of history. Which is a shame.
You wanna play lucky hit? Have you seen any sailors? etc.

i've been waiting myself... i couldn't play number two because my 360 died on my birthday, but i sent it in and now it's back so i suppose i can now, since it's going for like six bucks (that's such a steal)
yeah, i was a big fan of the first installment... but as i recall it took about 3-4 years to make, so we should be due any time now actually.
give it time buddy, give it time
