Shenmue fansite ShenmueMaster has scored an interview with series director Yu Suzuki, who talks about the possibility of acquiring the Shenmue rights from the current owner, Sega.
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
I'd buy Shenmue 3 if Sega wants to test the waters with Shenmue release 1&2 on PSN and XBL I'd buy them again since my Dreamcast is done and I can't find the Xbox version of 1&2.
F++K you sega!
A Shenmue HD Collection would be awesome! Hopefully Shenmue 3 sees the light of day. Definite buys for me!
I own a Yu Suzuki signed copy of the original Dreamcast Shenmue, a signed strategy guide, & a signed t-shirt. Took a photo w/ the legend himself too. If an HD Collection & part 3 were announced, I'd consider putting those signed items up for auction on eBay!
its funny that all these people want this and they dont make it. looks like easy money to me and like se with ff7 just make the damn games!!!!
This is long overdue!! SEGA, wake up! Shenmue was a flagship title for Dreamcast! It was the singular reason many bought the console!!
