I would love for Shenmue 3 to become a reality. That said, I won't get my hopes up unless it's actually announced

Hype!

Didn't they recently lose th trademark

A bunch of things are blown out of proportion on the internet.

I was an original player of 1&2 and was left hanging by that cliffhanger at the end of two. I dont give a shit about exclusive or not. This needs to be on Xbox

I thought so as  well.

Althoughmy knowledge on the field is limited, I think they wouldn't have lost it unless they couldn't prove that they were going to use it. And in that case that means that we won't see Shenmue come soon. 

Still wondering why they didn't sell it off or something. Surely there must be SOMEONE out there that wants to make Shenmue 3.

it's gonna sell like, 300k copies lifetime cause nobody remembers what the fuck it is by now.

i thought they lost the trademark, hmmm.

I just bought Shenmue I and II a few weeks ago and I have to say, these are two of the best games ever created! Naturally I'm gonna shit my pants when part III is announced. (but please, don't make it an Xbone exclusive )

That is exactly what I mean by the demand for that game is blown completely out of proportion thanks to the internet, I really don't see why over 2 million people would buy the last part of a trilogy of which only a couple 100k played the 2nd part and that over ten years ago, at the very least if they want to make Shenmue 3 then they have to make the first 2 games available to the consoles they plan to release the third game on.

Also I never played Shenmue, but as far as I know the thing that made it so expensive was that they wanted to create a real living world in which you could interact with everything, if they want to stay true to that with the third part then that should take a considerable amount of time and resources once again.

It's nice to know I'm not alone.
