It should be, but I'm sure that Shenmue will still be brought up at every opportunity, especially at E3, even when we're in our 60s and Yu Suzuki has LONG since passed.
In fact, when they reach that age, talking about Shenmue 3 will probably be the only way Shenmue fans are able to get an erection.

If this were to happen, this would be a megaton announcement due to the long-awaited fan demand.
I have a hard time buying it being so, because Shenmue almost seems totally fatal in the AAA space. Wasn't one of the reasons the series vanished was because both games were financial failures? Unless it's being Kickstarted, I don't see how it can happen.
K-keep on hoping. :3c

I cannot believe there are people who think it's still gonna happen. If it made financial sense it would have happened. Sega isn't just going to decide to throw away millions of dollars one day.

They will pull a Capcom and announce a paid demo, then cancel the whole thing.

Sega left $$ on the table with PSO2, let's not front like everything they do is logical

Ah so confirmed fake then. 
Originating from NeoGAF no less. Well Vagabond you made waves across the Internet. I mean Christ even Eurogamer and IGN reported this. Quite the achievement. Though everything about the images shouted "fake" quite loud in my mind I have such an emotionally resonant connection to the series (both the vivid, dreamlike first game and cinematic and action orientated second) I was so adamant to believe that this potentially be true. I just want to see the game released and the story conclude.
Just an FYI everyone Yu Suzuki said that if Shenmue 3 ever happens that's it. He'd compress the remaining chapters in to just one game. So it would finish the story.

There are better ways to believe in Shenmue than this.

That tells you how risk averse they are.

*sigh* no denying that. yakuza 5 clearly only happened cause of sony, and that's probably true for any future entries as well.
if i'm being honest, that's about the only way Shenmue'd happen either. Even a proper kickstarter (which, as you said, doesn't really work for simply risk-averse corporations) would only be a part of the funding, a la the current Igavania one.

Just remembered this thread, I know that it was originally a gaffer made joke, but at least they got the PS4/PC bit right.

Why would both SEGA AND Square-Enix be on this?
SEGA and SONY I could understand, but why Square? They literally have nothing to do with Shenmue... unless I missed something.
EDIT: Wow I'm dumb. Didn't even notice this was made well before the E3 megaton. MY BAD!
Threads really need the creation date to be put right under the thread title or something... might cut down on the necrobumps.

Full circle.
Everyone in this thread:
Eh kinda. A lot of them were simply calling out that the image was fake, which it was.

This is why making bold statements without knowing the facts is a bad idea.
I believe and we the Shenmue fans have been proven right.
Nothing at all, can you say the same?
It's called having faith that the devs will do the right thing and they did.
The haters are much worse and wrong.

Thankfully SEGA gave Yu Suzuki the rights to future Shenmue games, meaning we're not at the mercy of their executives.

You mean like the one where Yu Suzuki posted a photo of a forklift he spotted at E3, we all thought he was hinting at Shenmue and it turned out he was doing just that.
