It wasn't until I realised what trains do to threads that I realised why threads get locked due to them.

Also, Sony dropping a Shenmue announcement and TLG in one conference would be ridic.
Given the platforms of the first 2 games, it's more likely that MS would pay for such a game, followed by Nintendo...

But given that Yu likes to take his precious time with nearly every game he makes, i doubt anyone would want to pay the (most likely) horrendous budgets.

The E3 hype always hits the highest before every E3 and people get disappointed in the process. It's been like that for every E3 I can remember. You guys need to temper your expectations a bit. I'm no insider or anything and I may be completely wrong and it may be the first E3 to ever live up to the fans hype but it could easily turn into massive disappointment.

Well sure, that's your opinion. Just how it's the opinion of many that Shenmue is a better series than Yakuza.

And of the same nature? Eh. They have some similarities, but in other ways they're both completely different.
I should have said similiar, not same, my bad.

I also realized I have no right to talk about letting go of the past, since I fall into the "Melee & Project M over everything" category, as well.

Does Yu Suzuki have an idea what kind of power his tweets have? If this is just a random tweet and we get nothing at E3 then this is cruel :(

  • Ryo forklift DLC for Sonic All Stars Racing

Whatever console the Shenmue HD collection is on (if it comes out)... I think I might pre-order both so my wallet is wishing it is going to be on a console I own lol :).

I have no interest in this series but it's always funny to see people get their hopes so high even though they're always being let down. I hope for everyone's sake that something actually ends up happening this time.

The conference will go pitch black tomorrow, then two spotlights will shine upon the stage, revealing 2 lucky hit boards, left with a big "1" on it, the other with "2" on it, then Yu Suzuki will drive out in a forklift with a flag with a huge "3" painted on it. He'll climb upon it and wave the flag, then the teaser trailer will fire up behind him, while he is still waving the flag. 1+2 HD collection this fall, Shenmue 3 next summer.

BELIEVE.

From a pure business standpoint (investment and return, interest gauge, .. )

the next time you'd see shenmue on current/next platforms would be in the form of HD remasters.
 
I've heard that the originals didn't really age well in terms of gameplay, wouldn't that mean a remaster would probably do more harm than good?
 
That may have helped give it a tad bit more legs, but it was far from the main reason they exited the console business.

The GameCube did not have a DVD drive, and the Saturn was CD based just like the PlayStation.

Yeah but it didn't help Sega just bungled the Saturn launch. Gamecube didn't exactly set the world on fire either. DVD helped the PS2 immensely with people who never really played games either.

All the naysayers can say what they want.

The rest of you, GET THE FUK ON THE HYPE TRAIN NOW!!!!

I need to be on that train!
