Yesterday legendary Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki took the internet by storm, kicked Kickstarter on its knees and gathered two million dollars in pledges in less than nine hours with Shenmue III.
Today, he provided more information about the game during a livestream from the E3 showfloor.
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.
IGN speaks to video game developer legend Yu Suzuki about Shenmue 4, Air Twister, and more.
That's right, Suzuki actually learned a thing or two from Captain Chaos, of all people.
Sony has clarified its role in Shenmue 3 in a recent official stream on the game, and revealed it's helping to bring Yu Suzuki's project to life.
Following its spectacular announcement at Sony's E3 conference, there were questions about what the company's involvement was, and why Shenmue 3 was going to Kickstarter at the same time as appearing on-stage. The $2 million amount announced as a goal on the Kickstarter - which was surpassed within 9 hours - doesn't appear to pertain to the game's entire budget, and instead has been used as proof of interest in the project before other investors dive in.
"Sony and PlayStation is definitely a partner in this game," Sony PlayStation's director of third party production and developer relations Gio Corsi. "It's going be run through Third-Party Production. We're going to help Ys Net get the game done. We're going to be partners on it the whole way." - http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
Still the damndest thing I've ever seen. It's finally happening. I think this might have been the first year in many that no rumours of shenmue 3 showing up at e3 occurred. And here it is!
Thank you Mr.Suzuki.
Now all Sony an yu-Suzuki has to do is convince Sega to give up the goods and allow a Shenmue1&2 HD to be released..lol
I'd say by time the 31 days is up it reaches around 4 million. Sony will no doubt stump up about 10 million at least. Dreams do come true for gamers. I think this is Sony's way if saying thank your for all the ps4 sales ;)
i'm glad at least that fans got to get it started off by paying to fund it, if Sony did this first it would never be coming to PC.
It's a bit sad that Sony only funds it now that it hit its goal so fast, they should've listened that so many people wanted it from the start.
