Well, of course Sega is involved. It's their IP, and it's probably the biggest title they have in developement.


Nope, SEGA's involvement is just recent. Shenmue 3 is being developed at Ys Net of KS funds.

 

They will most likely be doing the remasters and would not be shocked if they took over some of publishing duties and paid rest of development.

Yes, but they were going to intervene at one point or another. Aside for Sonic Boom Fire and Ice, Shenmue 3 is the biggest game coming out, and it is a classic Sega IP, they wouldn't just ignore it.


Your alittle bit behind.

originally speaking, SEGA had no involvement in Shenmue 3 other than letting Suzuki use the IP. Its very similar to Bayonetta and Nintendo; SEGA owns Bayonetta but was not involved in its development.

SEGA has a renewed interest in revive its good name, and they even said Shenmue 3 along with Atlus, and Yakuza 0 in China are the inspiration. SEGA's recent steps to be involved in THIER IP, is like a father who realizes, "I gotta pay child support because thats my kid"

That's right, they are trying to reinvigorate their IPs. I didn't remember.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I guess the big thing to take away from this is the possibility of Shenmue 1+2 ports.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Sega can make a comeback if they align them selves with PS4 and sony.

They have awesome franchises and focusing on only PS4 gives them benefit of exclusivity and PS fan support.

Title of the thread should have been "SONY, AND YU SUZUKI, AND SEGA...OH MY!" Missed opportunity.

YAY for Shenmue.

Come on SEGA, you can pull through baby! Just keep doing this! And make a good Sonic game! PLZ!!!

Good to hear. Sega need this to be as good as possible in order to keep to their promise made earlier this year of winning back their old fans. I can't see there being much money to be made though. Most of the kickstarter backers are getting the game as part of their reward. How many can it sell to the public?

Seeing Sega's involvement in Shemnue is nice and all, but what about Virtua Fighter?
