Publisher ININ Games and developer YS NET have announced Shenmue III Enhanced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, “Nintendo,” and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). A release date was not announ…
Weird announcement. Are there any people who even liked shenmue 3?
Loved the first 2 on Dreamcast, started the 3rd one and couldn’t tell if my taste had evolved so much or if the game was just bad. I never finished it despite funding it on kickstarter…
I believe that Shenmue was like a proto-GTA, by the time Shenmue III arrived… the formula was not only perfected but improved upon by the likes of the Yakuza series. For a new Shenmue to succeed, it would have to match Yakuza level depth and add the level of attention to detail like the original Shenmue entries provided. This is to say the least, unlikely in the best case, and impossible if we are realistic when considering risk, budget, current franchise strength, etc.
