GameSpot article, wants to imply that what Yu Suzuki said may hint at an Xbone version of Shenmue 3 coming, do you think so?

That's a really dick thing to say if it's not coming.

sounds like something you would say when you can't say it's coming, but it is coming. Perhaps it's timed.

My imagination says that what he meant is that he did go to Microsoft but they turned him down so he took it to Sony.

Gamespot twisted the original interview for clicks.

Yeesh. Vicious.

If Sony is indeed putting money and/or time into production/development of the game I doubt we'll ever see releases beyond PlayStation platforms and PC.

I remeber not long ago on another article about them hoping to get more money from kickstarter, I said that is cheap of Sony to have an exclusive partnership for this game, but be too cheap to give them the cash they needed for it, and was attacked for it, people saying sony is just doing the advertisement and has no other connection to the game.

So which is it? Is this a partnership and they're helping with production and publishing, and being too cheap to fund it fully, essentially holding the game hostage, because if so, then it would be stupid to make it ps4 exclusive forever.

To me, it looks bad, and extremely cheap to make the Shenmue announcement and partnership, then turn around and ask gamers to pay for it.

Either fund the game fully for complete exclusivity, and stop asking gamers to foot the bill through kickstarter, or let the game go multiplatform. I say it's atmost, a timed exclusive.

Yeah it might comes but maybe 4-6 months after it releases on ps4.

That was quite a twist, after reading both articles.. so I guess it will stay as a PS4 exclusive then
