Shenmue would be my top choice for sure, followed by a TRUE Phantasy Star sequel. Phantasy Star 5...none of this online stuff.

What?
FF is too 'boing'? compering FF7 to some casual console FPS?

I'll take Shenmue 3 if the following are met:

1. Yu Suzuki reprises his role

I'd agree with a lot on the list. My top five are:

5. Okami
4. Breath of Fire
3. Demon's Souls
2. Valkyria Chronicles
1. King's Field

I know everyone has a different list, this is just my own. I've said it before, I'm a King's Field addict. :)

It's among the best. It's unique, enchanting and immersive at the same time with great story, incredible music score and great gameplay. But there are too many incredible games so It's hard to say "da best". I still have my DC and original Shenume discs. For me Shenmue is on par with MGS series and Dungeon Keeper, which are by far, my favourite titles.

I'm surprised to see ZOE and Valkyria Chronicles so high on that list, even if they do deserve it. But what really surprised me was Panzer Dragoon at #24. I love those games and here I thought everyone else had forgotten about them.

Shenmue 3? Hell yes, but is it little too late now? How would new gamers accept it? Would they be forced to reboot franchise and start all over? To many questions

Remakes + sequels. I would piss my pants from anticipation. Acutally they could do both Shenmue parts as a single game on multiple mediums, or even one(in case of PS3) like a recent Riddick and do the sequels.

We dont know . it wasnt the plan , but sales might have changed their mind . If at the e3 they dont announce it , i think it's over for a potential us/eu version .

There is still import , if you're lucky enough to find a copy

Well thats nice to see

Shenmue is a great gift to gamers from the industry and in my opinion the best thing Sega ever did for us but from a business perspective they just can't afford to make that kind of risk again.

It cost them $70 million in production costs making it the most expensive games ever made until just last year when GTAIV finally topped it with $100 million.

At least Sega are still dishing out original title like Valkyria Chronicles.

I ashmed i forgot about it . But yes it should be in the top 20 !
Sadly not that many played the excellent V , after the serie's reputation was stained by stuff like suiko IV . Not to mention that Konami isnt helping the fond memories neither with Tierkreis :s

Yes, TWEWY is waaaaay better than Shenmue.

Okami at number 3! I would love a sequel to okami... hopefully for wii with motion + battle system so every battle isn't just like running around while shaking a baby. If it wasn't for that battle system (and the credits thing) okami wii would have been perfect.

You should just stop commenting on this subject with your Halo garbage you just sound ignorant. Shenmue was one of the most beloved franchise. Take your Halo fanboy self to the open zone...
