Deep Silver did a good job with Persona 5 at least, this sounds fine.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Is that for the PC version only? I thought Sony is the publisher for the PS4 version. I'm confused. =/

I am hopeful of an HD remaster of the first two so I can catch up before 3.

Sega still own the IP though right? So why aren`t they publishing it?

That is an interesting question, as SEGA has always had a strong presense as a publisher. However, they must have some kinda partnership with Deep Silver, considering DS published P5 in Europe at least.

That also seemed strange to me. Sega Europe doesn`t seem to be in trouble or anything, so I really don`t get why they can`t publish their own games anymore

They probably think that Sega only make Sonic games so anything else they would think someone else owns it :P 

 

Or who who's maybe Deep Sliver is next to Sega to buy list just so people would think that they still publish games XD

I never got that line. Why, did he cry? Did his date found out he watches anime on prom night and then ditched him. Or was he crying because he could've been watching anime instead of going to prom night. Maybe his crying because his best girl isn't real so he can't get bring her to prom night. I'll just imagine he took his waifu pillow to prom night.

As a Shenmue fan, this is funny to see someone else other than SEGA publish this. A good chunk of the Shenmue community doesn't deserve this game. Such a toxic fanbase. That said still glad I am getting it (I KS to get the PS4 physical copy) despite I'm fairly sure this game will be terrible. That's one of the reasons I think SEGA is staying away. yes, they own the IP but they don't trust it. This series burned them pretty good financially. Yu has not made anything of significance since Shenmue. If you follow the KS updates, the game is looking amateur at best. IF and I highly doubt it will but if 3 does well SEGA will consider Shenmue HD. I know I sound harsh but I do love the games. The first is my second favorite game of all time. It's just a series overhype by fans. The first game was novel for its time but it's in reality rather mediocre at best and terrible the rest of the time due to age. I still love it despite that. Despite that, I expect the 3rd game to be terrible and flop, I won't be bitter like I was for Mighty No 9 because this time I know YS is actually trying.
