Shenmue 3 won't be at E3
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
This sounds really dodgy to me
First they announce an almost impossible release date in 2017. No game at E3 sounds like the game will definitely be released next year as there needs to be some marketing time before hand.To think it was the first time I backed a project too.

Bit disappointed, but I'm glad they came out and said it. A delay is pretty much definite now, but people have been widely expecting that since the reveal, so I'm going to be very suspicious of posts acting like it's some totally unexpected ominous sign.
The proper reveal is probably getting kicked down the road another six months, but tbh, I'd rather have them prioritise on development.

Had to happen to get Kickstarted. No other way around that.
Not really. They keep the backers informed every month, and they've gotten out ahead of the E3 issue.
No. Yu Suzuki's direct quote is new video, which they've done in the dev diaries.

Has there been any hints about KH3 being at E3 or are you guys just being hopeful?
I don't know why people are saying this is a bad sign anyway. That announcement had to be made early to get people hyped for the Kickstarter, and KS games never really have a firm release date, just estimations based on their current project goals. I'm sure they haven't factored in the status of the market when they made a November 2017 projection. Since Sony has a hand in this, I'm sure they'd push it to some date that isn't as crowded as November and that doesn't come in the way of one their 1st party games.
Besides, they've constantly given updates. I don't see why this is sketchy at all.

As long as I get something new from this one then I'm fine.
To quote the Kickstarter FAQ, which has been there since its launch:This sounds really dodgy to me

C'mon. It's disappointing they're not making E3, but if they've revised their schedule, they've revised their schedule.
There's nothing in advance to indicate that FFVIIR or KH3 trailers will be at the show, it's just E3 hype monster shit.
I was aiming for more "OMG HOLY CRAP" and less "wake me up when it's over."
Nah i'm just guessing but i think chances for a new KH3 trailer are pretty good.

Has a Kickstarter ever been on time?
Most people who backed it don't care when it comes just the fact that it's being made.
Shenmue is much older, of course it's aged a bit.
Also Yakuza 1 compared to 0 is a gigantic jump, not really a fair comparison besides all the other differences between the 2 games.

Guessing, besides there's a concert that same week in LA and it's quite possible Nomura makes the trip killing two birds with one stone.. he stated that he would pop up at a few concerts.. which ones? that's the mystery.
Hype Odds from My Ass™
I wouldn't pin your hopes on this. They've gotten out in front of this issue on purpose, and I really doubt they're playing mindgames.
Wouldn't be a Shenmue III thread without a few driveby shitposts.

It's cool that you like Yakuza, but come on man, there is no reason to say that one will be better than the other, or there is no place for one of them since we have the other one.
If you didn't find Shenmue interesting and thought Yakuza was better, then you can enjoy Yakuza like the rest of us. We can always talk about how and what we love about Yakuza in its own threads. There is no need to turn a Shenmue thread into a Yakuza one.

I know.
I'm just saying there is a tendency to equate the conferences as part of E3 game show which is... not really the case.

I see. I have a friend who is a huge KH fan so I was wondering if I could give him the good news. I guess he has to keep on waiting for now

Why are people saying this, ie 2020? I mentioned the same thing a week ago and was told by someone on GAF that it's on track for December this year.
Good post.
Shenmue fans and Yakuza fans should have solidarity anyway, as we've largely been through similar shit from SEGA, and there's a fair bit of cross pollination between fanbases.
It is what it is. I'm glad they're being responsible and giving us a heads up at least.
Im on neogaf too, can confirm shenmue 3 is on track for release in 2020

i don't remember how much $ i backed with this but still pretty excited it's happening. though i think they will be delayed quite a few times.
i really think they need more funds for a bigger team.

It's not coming out in December this year if there isn't any gameplay shown before the end of summer.
oh boy
Yea that's totally what I said....
People are going for worst case scenario, even if the dates are pretty hyperbolic. I wouldn't expect the game to be delayed later than December next year though.
Yeah. Ball is in SEGA's court on that one and could very well still happen.
It fits in just fine? The games are not only different gameplay and design wise, but they're also thematically different.
Yakuza: Crime drama in Japan.
Shenmue: Retribution adventure in China.
It's like saying why should they bother with RDR2 when there's GTAV.
every game i have no interest in shouldn't take up time in my marketing presentations
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll still see plenty of stuff at E3 you aren't interested in.

Announce that shit and then we play it 7 years later.

Already knew this. Was never expecting this, FFVIIR or KH3 even before any of them were confirmed to not be at E3. 2020 at the earliest for all three is my guess.

Yeah no it's not coming out in 2017, probably not even 2018 if we're being really honest here. Scheduling game development is an absolute nightmare and downright impossible most of the time because every game has unforeseen technical issues of some kind during development and every major Kickstarter game has never made its targeted release date.

Hope we get something this E3
If we're talking semantics, we saw gameplay in the March update. Just really, really fleetingly. But I agree, I think the game is getting pushed back now, and probably impacted their decision to not show at E3.
Had to be announced to get Kickstarted. You know that.
