Tamoor Hussain: Double Fine set up a project page on Kickstarter and asked members of the public interested in the project to contribute. The goal was $400,000 but within the space of a day over a million dollars had been pledged.
What we have here is a developer leapfrogging publishers and going straight to the end user to fund projects that are thought of as too risky by the usual industry bigwigs. This got us thinking...
Could Sega use a similar method to fund Shenmue 3?
Cultured Vultures: These 15 unresolved video cliffhangers could be solved in the future, though if we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know there’s no chance in hell of that happening.
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.

Daily Video Game writes: "PlayStation Store has just launched another new digital game sale that has over 400 games under $15, including many AAA games titled "Games Under $15 Sale" for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 gamers right now!"
Dragon's Dogma and XCOM 2 are the best deals. The rest of the games are still overpriced. I would say 8.99 is good for AC: Origins, but you need to put $10 more into MTs to avoid the grind that slows down the story. So, the game is actually 18.99.
It's not on this list, but Pathfinder: Kingmaker is only $9.99. This is a deal if you have a current gen. consoles, as it runs poorly on prev. gen.
Has anyone been able to login in to the ps store on ps5 I haven't been able to in days and my network is good.
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.
