Shenmue 3 is finally announced

Gamereactor writes: "The latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Maitsuki Playstation reported about some players around the world dreamed of ever since we last återsåg game character era Shenhua and Ryo Hazuki, namely that Shenmue 3 is finally on its way. Although Yu Suzuki himself left Sega's his original script to be used for a sequel, and he will also provide guidance during development to get to where the atmosphere.

Shenmue 3 will be developed by the parts from the old original team and the Yakuza team late in February released Yakuza 3 for Playstation 3 in Japan. Graphic promised real great that makes the old games justice, and the story should be easy to digest even for those who played the precursors to avoid excluding anyone."

With a particular attention, Gamereactor has just published the news that Shenmue 3 is in production but it's an April Fool joke.

I've been on here no more than 5 minutes. I am sick of all these April fools jokes. They are annoying, not funny. The only thing I worry about though is a real game announcement mixed in with all the garbage will not get noticed and thrown in the mix.

BUt considering Yakuza 3, I'm sure SEGA can see how Shenmue would prove fruitful for them.

Though i wonder if it were to ever be announced whether they wud make it ps3 exclusive ro not... if so id like them to do ports or 'remake's of the other 2 first.

I fully agree, something like Shenmue 3 which has been pulling the strings of our hearts for many years should not be toyed with.

Bring me Shenmue 3 NOW!!!! It is not very amusing that they are kidding with Shenmue 3. If it was Ghost Recon 9 or Rainbow six in Los Angeles I would just be glad that it was an april fools, but Shenmue 3?!? COMMON!!!!

April fool jokes are OK but this is almost like somebody telling you that they just saw your dad that you thought died years ago but actually he's still alive.
Then saying "april fool" and laughing at your broken little heart. Everybody wants Shenmue3 to actually happen so badly that this is cruel.

Il keep on dreaming till then, GG SEGA/Shenmue for the 2 games u have already granted me for fully playing with every moment being as enjoyable as a game can be R.I.P. and if u do rise then please with the same or better quality as the previous 2 titles.
