GFB's Community Manager Hints at Shenmue

Gaming site GoFanboy reported a few months back that Yu Suzuki was planning to show a formerly canceled title at this year's E3, but reported that it wasn't Shenmue. Rumors are swirling this morning that Shenmue 3 is coming though. On top of that GoFanboy's community manager actually tweeted about Shenmue this morning.

damnit tell us
please i want to know if it exist

GunShotEddy5500d ago

Why tease us like this? I thought they said it wasn't Shenmue?

VG_Releaser5500d ago

It's been killing me. I never got to play the sequel because I couldn't import the Europe version and never owned an original Xbox.

mcgrawgamer5500d ago

Shenmue 2 is backwards compatible with the 360 by the way. But don't do this too me guys. If this is just to get hits to your site I'll be devastated. November will mark exactly 8 years since I've been ready to really "finish the fight"

Theonik5500d ago

If you still have your DC it will be able to play back-up games without region locking. Just download the EU version and put it in and it will work. (it will only work with DCs that have a 1 in a circle at the bottom of the console)

LOL at "GoFanboy"...
I'm positive he linked to his own tweet to make everybody think he is important.

The site is a joke, and only 107 people follows his twitter account, I believe most of those are spam accounts.

I liked Shenmue 1 and 2, but if they do release another one it would have to be seriously updated! The graphics have been surpassed and the gameplay is very old.

I believe Shenmue could do really well with the technology we have now, but like I said, it has alot of competition in this gen, especially with games like Heavy Rain and Alan Wake!

Um, it just says he wants to play 2. How is this any indicator let along a rumor?

Theonik5500d ago

The second part most probably. Some people saw that as a hint. It's a crazy world we live in and people simply want the game too much to care.
If the rumour was true i would scream like a little girl.

Milamber5500d ago

This game needs to be made.

"Rumours should come from a somewhat credible source. A lot of people make up rumors in internet forums so be careful to check the source before posting."

Also, "Internet forums and message boards do not normally qualify as a reliable source. You can also link to forum posts if the post is made by an industry professional."

And this guy is NOT an industry professional. All you idiots who approved this should have your contributing rights revoked, burned and then beamed into the sun. >:|

vgn245500d ago

Looks like their community manager is a girl and a industry professional. Quick search on their staff page and then google led to LinkedIn... http://www.linkedin.com/in/...

Nike5500d ago

Oye vey. She's not working for Mumbo Jumbo currently, so she's not an industry professional. Maybe some one with knowledge of it, but having a linkedin page and being their comm manager doesn't mean she knows anything about Shenmue...bah, this news is so stupid it's giving me a headache. >.<

GunShotEddy5500d ago

maybe you shouldn't be posting people's personal info either. Great they work in or worked in or whatever, but she probably doesn't want her info posted on some forum. jade raymond doesn't even like her info out there and she's a media whore, haha.

BeaRye5500d ago

So what if the comm manager tweeted about playing Shenmue 2, the article from 2 MONTHS AGO says it's not Shenmue 3! Maybe, just maybe the guy wants to really just PLAY SHENMUE 2!?!?

Only so much time in life so hopefully it gets finished before it’s too late

CrimsonWing69200d ago

I think that’s the problem. Just give us a conclusion like we were hoping for with 3 instead of basically pulling a Shenmue 2 on us and leaving it all in limbo again,

Agent75200d ago

No trilogy collection? All the years Sega knocked out Shenmue clone Yakuza, yet took years to release Shenmue 3 on PS4 only. Was made waiting all those years after Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast.

Rynxie200d ago

Sega had nothing to do with shenmus 3.

Nerdmaster200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

And they think it's a positive thing?
Potential new fans won't be interested in future sequels because they would need to know the story of all the previous games.
Old fans who were burnt by 3 (like me) won't be interested in the next ones. Especially if they are fillers like 3 is.

The truth is, Yu Suzuki threw away his golden oportunity of finishing the saga in a dignified way. Old fans were thirsty for its conclusion and they got good money on Kickstarter.
Now that they made 3 with some of the worst game design decisions in any modern game, and made the plot be a useless filler, a Kickstarter for 4 would probably fail badly, and the shameful sales of 3 won't convince any publisher to put good money on a sequel.

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.

Chocoburger487d ago

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.

shinoff2183487d ago

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.

Knightofelemia486d ago

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.
