Shenmue: What Does the Future Hold?

Before the original Shenmue was unleashed upon the Japanese video gaming market in 1999, it was heralded as being the catalyst for the Sega Dreamcast to build on its encouraging start to console life. However, just 13 months after Shenmue was first on the shelves in Japan, the Dreamcast was discontinued. The release of the all-conquering PS2 was the foremost reason for the demise of Sega’s latest – and to date, last – console.

Alas, the failure of the Dreamcast also had a negative impact on the Shenmue series. Intended to be released over a multitude of installments, the series is currently stalled at just game number two. Depressingly, Shenmue has remained in that state for over 10 years with very little encouragement coming from Sega over the years that they intend to reboot the franchise. A poxy mobile phone game going by the name of Shenmue Gai was released in 2010, but its similarities end before they have even begun. The canned Shenmue Online didn’t help matters, either.

Shenmue=dead because Sega won't fund the next project in the chapter.

Sega virtually confirmed Shenmue HD..I'm betting on an official E3 announcement.

If that sells well, we will get Shenmue 2, if Shenmue 2 sells well, then theres no reason not to make Shenmue 3.

Dude reading that has made my day.
Hope it's true.

No way dude,Shenmue cost $50 million to make 13 years ago Imagine what it'd cost today..

tiffac0084431d ago (Edited 4431d ago )

I really, really hope that's true because if it is (and it sells at a reasonable expectation) then Yu Suzuki will not need to buy Shenmue from Sega to make Shenmue III. Hehehe

Sega make this happen and take my cold hard earned cash! (You can localize Valkyria Chronicles III while your at it. lol!)

If Sega braught Shenmue 1&2 to the PSN and XBL they will get enough money to support a third game. The demmand for the third game is there from the fans and I am sure people will buy the first two games if they came to the PSN store or XBL marketplace. Or hell if Sega made an HD remake for both consoles people will buy that as well the funds for a third game are there and it will prove to Sega people still lo e the franchise.

I think they could if they make enough changes to get enough people on board. My guess is online only at 20-25 dollars each game.

Get 2 million buys total they can make shenmue 3. Question is will they add changes.

Shenmue hd= just go ahead and take my money lol

The Dreamcast HD ports seem to have done pretty well on the networks. The challenge in porting Shenmue I & II, is that it's a huge undertaking when compared to Sonic Adventure, Space Channel 5, JSR etc. The attention to detail in Shenmue is unbelievable for a DC game.

I personally think Shenmue is in the process of being examined by Sega before (if) they decide to port it. I think Sega would be treating it with the most care since it's their #1 most requested series and if they mess it up, fans will go crazy!!!!

Future-retro space game

The European independent creative team called EMBERGEP (means: MANMACHINE) has released their first game: Spacework 1.1 for Windows and Mac OS X.

It is not about the simulation of the reality. This is a future-retro design product.
The game has a fully artificial, synthetized environment with machines, robots and spaceships without pilots. In this world - on the Triton - everything is controlled and programmed in a very strict way.

Because of the very strict design the creators wanted to make a very linear story. There’s a start point and end point. In between you need to find and regain the Monolith. There are no offsets.

You can find the full story and more information about the unique concept on the official site of Spacework.
