I see Shenmue 3 has a release date. August 27th 2019...



The HD remasters are also out now and are by all accounts pretty decent...



Performance wise that is, the game part of them is still pish.

Shenmue is a terrible series. You have all been warned.

It's one I just never understood. I can appreciate the relatively simple story of revenge without world-altering consequences, but the actual gameplay was terrible. I've never known such a dull game to receive so much hype.

I recall BoggyB was a fan back in the day.

Why? Just curious, was thinking of giving them a bash.

You should probably just play Yazuka instead, Those games are everything Shenmue tried to be and more. Plus, you know, they are actually fun to play.

Shenmue was probably a necessary step to get where we are today. Its just not a step I'd be in a hurry to return to.

I wouldn't recommend it, they haven't aged well and I say that as someone who's replayed them both near enough every year since they were released. I just love the world it's set in.

It's amusingly appropriate that a video called "Shenmue 3 Gameplay Trailer" has approximately 4 seconds worth of footage where the player could potentially be controlling the main character, and everything else is blatantly just cutscene.

Still looks weird to me, faces barely emote and the lead character/characters' faces look like those off a china doll.

We thank you for your patience and understanding,


Yu Suzuki & Deep Silver
