BBC Show VideoGaiden Starts Shenmue 3 Campaign - Nov 02, 2006 05:56
The BBC show VideoGaiden is reporting on their website that for the next 6 weeks they are going to begin an aggressive campaign to demand Shenmue 3 from Sega.

They' re needing the help of Shenmue fans all around the world to aid them in their task and as they are a part of the BBC, they will do all in their power to get an answer from sega.



Right.

I figure I' d get in early with this. On videoGaiden we' re doing a thing where I' m trying to get the " internet peoples" to rise up and demand Shenmue III in a major way.

By " major" , I mean...doing lots of photoshops and shit. And making videos. And making protest songs. And painting stuff on themselves. And doing petitions. And marching on Sega' s offices. All of this. Any of this.

The deal is - if we get a big groundswell of activity, I' ll send the episodes of the show to Sega and go " for fuck' s sake, look!" And then I' ll demand a definitive answer. And then we' ll have made Shenmue III happen.

DON' T FUCKING TELL ME ITS IMPOSSIBLE! WE CAN DO IT!

No, seriously SHUT UP!

So will we kick this off? You want Shenmue III? How bad do you want it? You want to be on telly?


THINGS I NEED DONE:

I need all this stuff, and info about my campaign, to be stuck on EVERY FORUM ON THE INTERNET.

I need Shenmue fan communities to be ON BOARD.

I need even foreign people on. So if you' re BI (lingual) give it a wee try. Hit the foreign forums.

I need websites told about this EVERYWHERE. I will do interviews, naked, with Shenmue III etched on my hide. ANYTHING.

I need big forums like NeoGaf to be told about this, and hammered with it. I haven' t got an account there, so I can' t post about it. Do you have one there? Please help!

We don' t have the numbers to make a difference but you might want to consider dropping this gem in the Playstation Forums. They have a gazzillion members.

You' re getting Shenmue confused with Electronic Arts.

Can SEGA afford making Shenmue 3 even if they wanted to?
Maybe we should start a fund raiser...
but then maybe starving children in 3rd world countries would need the money more.
I don' t know why but I think a Shenmue 3 fund raiser would gather more money than a " save the starving 3rd world children" fund raiser would here at Kikizo....

Might be hard, so why oh why did they shovel all that cash on to Yakuza?

Though it might be cheaper than we think as previous gen games aren' t as expensive to produce as current gen (although Shenmue was an expensive one). Might depend on if they decide to refresh all the graphics and rest.

From what I' ve heard, Yakuza has sold pretty well... better than Shenmue II is the impression I' ve got. Does anyone know for sure?

As for the expense in developing Shenmue, it seems pretty outrageous. I just have to wonder... don' t get me wrong, I love Yu Suzuki... but I just wonder how much of the Shenmue budget actually went to Yu Suzuki' s personal Ferrari fund.

It would be a dream come true to me; I really loved the first chapters. Seeing the entire saga on ps3, still under the direction of Yu Suzuki, and with the music of Yuzo Koshiro, would be simply wonderful...

If Shenmue III was announced, no question, I would buy whatever console it was on. That was one of the main deciding factors for me in getting the original Xbox.

But realistically, I can' t get my hopes up about it ever seeing the light of day.

Its good to see some people here still hold a candle for the future of Shenmue. Im surprised Adam Doree has' nt at least acknowledged the existence of the campaign, nor offered up any effort or support for it. Considering, he and a lot of Shenmue fans browse the Kikizo boards id like so see a bit more support for the campaign.

Ive slowly given up on Shenmue ever getting finished. Nothing in what 4/5 years? No ones had the balls to just simply ask if its canned or not.
