Hint at Shenmue?

GI: Sega is doing a lot of licensed titles, which is a big difference for Sega. Why continue tapping the Marvel catalog when you have so much internally that you could make. Why not go back to Shenmue? Another Samba de Amigo? Shinobi? Ecco? Golden Axe? I could go on for an hour. (laughs)

Steinberg: You know, I think that’s a great question. The reality is this announcement, and the volume within the announcement may feel like it tips the scale in a lopsided way toward licensed properties. We’ve been tapping into some of the vault characters and bringing them out to show the fanboys that we’re going to try and bring new life into these characters so that is still a very important part of our effort. With The Golden Compass and this Marvel announcement it may feel like the scale is a bit heavier towards licenses. That’s kind of because we started at zero. It’s now just getting to where it’s about the lower part of what the other top publishers are doing. We’re still nowhere at where the EAs, the Activisions, the THQs have as a percentage. We have not neglected by any means – we haven’t announced them all – what we’re dusting off and bringing new life to our existing characters.

GI: Is that something we’ll see fleshed out more at your Gamers’ Day and E3?

Steinberg: Some of them. You know, the NiGHTS announcement, and we’re bringing NiGHTS back on the Wii. Hopefully you’ll see some of that, if not at the pre-E3 event, certainly at E3. There are a host of other games that are in development we haven’t announced that you should be quite excited about if you’re memory serves you on some of the epic properties of our past.

This is nothing I bet. Shenmue 3 will never be made.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Streets of Rage HD please...

This is nothing I bet. Shenmue 3 will never be made.

What are you talking about? Shenmue doesnt exist. Shenmue 1 and 2 were pigments of your imagination

When being a smartass it helps if you use the right words...

SHENMUE PLEEEZ SHENMUE 3 OMG PLEEEEASE!!!

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Hey Mr. Wanna wrestle?

lol, i wasnt trying to be.

I was wondering about the word, but i was in a hurry so i decided to put it there anyway.

Haha! For the record it' s ' FIGMENTS' . Those sorts of posts always crack me up - ' omg u cant spel ure tiping is rub1sh - u is a mong LOL' .

Mo offence Master Chef. I' m not puting you in that bracket because of one small mistake - just talking about web forums in general.

I hope the irony on this one was on purpose.

SHENMUE PLEEEZ SHENMUE 3 OMG PLEEEEASE!!!

Say if it was ' PS3 only' Quezcatol?

Ye trhat would make a lot of sense.
Putting Shenmue 1-2 on DC then XBOX get the 2nd one and SEGA promise a sequal for the xbox and then it hit ps3.

WTF?!

If anything it should be on Wii.

Yes, it was... honestly... maybe not

Scott is always positive,
at least he is not negative!

I remember the last time when another major gaming organization
asked him about Shenmue III!

He did NOT say there is no Shenmue III, there is no Shenmue III under devleopment and...etc instead he just said " I can' t really answer that!(for now)"

and this time he is positive again!!!

He is saying just keep an eye open for our upcoming epic announcements!

SO, I' ll listen to him & I' ll wait.

I' m one of those guys who believes
that we don' t expect to see Shenmue III until 2009 or probably 2011(for 50%).
(but I really hope this doesn' t happen...I mean I want SHENMUE III NOW!)

What? Shenmue is a cinematic game series that has only ever been on the DC or the Xbox. Putting it on the Wii would signal a fundamental shift in direction for the series, one that most fans think it doesn' t need.

Put it on the X360 or PS3.

Nitro is saying that " If anything it should be on Wii"
Do you mean Shenmue too? if yes here is my comment

Well, maybe SEGA is able to give us a fast DC-port from both Shenmue I and II
on Wii with the same graphics to make more money from Shenmue I and II!!!
and then they' ll be able to give us Shenmue III...

in this way they shouldn' t spend n million US dollars again!!!

If they really want to do that, they should also add some more intresting
Shenmue III hints into Shenmue II Wii??? a real Shenmue III trailer on
Shenmue I & II:Wii Edition will make all Shenmue fans to buy Shenmue I and II again!!!

Also there are too many gamers who haven' t played Shenmue yet and
who should play Shenmue...there are also alots of people who want to play Shenmue!!!!

BTW they can re-release Shenmue I and II on XBLA or PS3 Network too!!!

Therefore all next gen conosoles still can get Shenmue III...even PC

SEGA should learn from Capcom...
Whenever Capcom is not happy with the sales they' ll re-release their titles,
they' ll release new ports! they' ll release their games with the same old features but on a new console...RE3 released on more than one platform...RE4 is available on
GC, PS2 and PC! and Wii(soon)...

SEGA should do the same with Shenmue....they should re-release it!
and fans will re-buy it to help the sales...

Good points.

haha, i thought i was a BIG SEGA fan.. alimn, you put me to shame.

Each game takes up over 2 GB of space, I don' t think they would put it on XBLA.

Who wants Shenmue 3?, I am still playing shenmue 2. You suckers played it when it came out! ha ha fools!

Im sure I will get shun by kikizo when i say this, but i dont even like shenmue

Seriously I do think SHenmue2 is one of the best games ever made,along side with Halo,warcraft3 and FF7 etc.

Shenmue 1 and 2 is just...well its like playing a realistic and a serious AAA title of Dreamfall.
If you guys get what I mean.

Shenmue is so fucking awesome if shenmue3 is never made it would be just a sad thing for us gamers.

Im not sure if i ever played the actual game but i played a demo where you pressed a button when it flashed on the screen and it performed it by itself. For example, I was running down a road and the A button flashed and i had to press it and he jumped over watermelons or something. Is that what the entire games like?

Yes.

But actually Shenmue 2 on Xbox comes with a movie of Shenmue 1 which is pretty much someone playing the game. It is way better to just play it.
