Let it die, I'm sick of people bringing up shenmue, my heart cant take it anymore. I litreally wanna smack someone everytime they bump a shenmue thread with no information. I really dont think this photo is news worthy and yes im bitter. It sucks to be a shenmue fan.

To be fair, as a Mega Man fan, I'd probably freak if I saw a capcom exec, Keiji Inafune, and Miyamoto going to lunch together.
There is Kim Swift (creator of Portal) and Richard Lemarchand (Art or Design Director of Uncharted 2) in the photo. Don't know the other folks.
And I don't think they would discuss Shenmue 3 during this lunch. Coz they came here for gamelab talks.

you shouldn't though, as Inafune doesn't work at Capcom anymore and does not own the Megaman IP in any way.

Same, those games changed my tastes significantly. Nothing else has come close to the experience.

I think thats also Seth Luisi at the bottom left. Former Socom 4 director. That guy was pretty much a punching bag after the Socom 4 downfall. Seems its just lunch from what i see but who knows.
Wrong thread?
I thought he was talking abt this thread getting bumped. But no twitter messages for 2 days from him.

While the idea intrigues me.
I'm not going to fall into the hype.
If It happens, great. I can finally see what happened after Shenmue II
I got lots of games on my plate as it is right now. Maybe if this game comes around to getting a release, I'll have a substantial portion of my backlog cleared.

especially with that terribly vague cliffhanger ending.

Whoa, whoa; let's not commit to anything yet! It could be dinner.
You say that but you've forgotten that it was Shenmue that spear headed a new benchmark of graphical fidelity and a new way of playing games at the time of release.
Graphics are important for Shenmue, but, of course, the game's core mechanics, in-depth designs, and the unraveling of the story were all massive factors along with those graphics that made the game what it is - utter immersion. So, this means that no matter what, Shenmue 3 has to look good in consideration if it is being made today and not in the yesterdays. I.e. Don't worry, the spirit of Shenmue will live.
Heh, no argument there. After all, look at my avatar.

I'd be okay with just an HD port of the first two games.
At any rate, like someone else mentioned, my heart can't take all the Shenmue teasing. It just...hurts.

we'll even let you pick:
For all of GAF to see, lol
On topic though, an HD collection of 1&2 would be really cool as a build up to III being released shortly there after.

Personally, I think if this meal has any meaning and Yosp is bankrolling a Yu Suzuki game, they would probably be better making a spiritual successor to Shenmue rather than Shenmue 3/reboot. A vocal minority online might lobby for the series to come back, but in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't be a big hardware seller and to do the series justice would probably be very expensive.

My heart skipped a beat. Then i saw how old this thread was and became crushed.

Maybe they could Kickstarter Shenmue I+II HD remaster along with a slew a different collector's editions (because this is kickstarter after all) so that everyone would get what they want. If that goes well, they could do another KS for Shenmue 3. With the cult following the franchise has, it could work.
lol! I don't know why that made me laugh... Oh yes, I know why. You reminded me of that character from Metal Gear Awesome. "Oh my, I'm soooo scared. eyaeyaeayeayeayea!"

Thought this was a new thread!
Its still completely unmatched when it comes to atmosphere and immersion. I cant even put it into words to describe how engrossed I was. It's the kind of game where it's not the story, it's not the gameplay, but it's the experience and how patience rewards you. You can't play Shenmue with adrenaline pumping, you need to sit down, relax and enter a world where progress is slow, but where your discoveries, the people you meet, the lessons you learn, the adventure that unfolds will truly stay with you for a lifetime. The soundtrack is also a gift from God. Shenmue is an absolute masterpiece thatll probably never be topped.

Both Kim Swift, Shu Yoshida, Yu Suzuki and others from the pics are guests of Gamelab, where this year they come to speak in some conferences or receive special awards. One of the guys of the pic is the president of Gamelab, and the other is the CEO of Novarama (creator of Invizimals, a SCE game so Yoshida is their boss), a Barcelona based studio. Gamelab is being held in Barcelona this week.
People like Tim Schaffer, Keiji Inafune,Rami Ismail or Dong Nguyen also are going to assist, so they could appear in a photo like that. Doesn't mean anything related to Shenmue 3.
Fun fact: BlitWorks, the company who ported Sonic CD or Jet Set Radio to modern consoles (plus Fez Vita, Spelunky Vita or OlliOlli PS4/PS3) is from Barcelona too.
This sounds impossibly expensive for a next gen game.

It was impossibly expensive for a Dreamcast game.
Well look at how that turned out
That budget was for the r&d of the Saturn game, and both Dreamcast games iirc.
What if no 3 is released afterwards? So many peeps asking for remakes an getting pumped up for nothin'! Or they pull a Yakuza by leaving both the remakes and sequel in Japan >.>
jufonuk
not tag worthy
Just make shenmue, by this I mean have it include include 1 & 2 then add three to the end , remake the shenmue games for hd , so it's is a self contained trilogy
Or make three and include 1 & 2 with the bundle ,
I am sure no matter how dear I hold this game the first two instalments much not have aged so well by now.
But until it is announced who knows
