Bring Back Sega's Shenmue For Todays Machines??

Question

I Recently Emailed Sega with reguard to an old Dreamcast Fave of mine,

SHENMUE!

but they have informed me they are not even considering a new shenmue title for any of todays next gen consoles??

it seems they are more than happy to release more naff sonic games and re-release old Mega Drive Titles!!

I for one though shenmue was about the only good thing from dreamcast and would love to continue on with the story, as it was never concluded at the end of shenmue 2 was it??

they should,, in my opinion get to work on a new shenmue straight away!! perhaps in the mean time a budget re-release of shenmue 1 & 2 to refresh the memory's of fans and introduce a new generation of gamers to rio hazuki, and his quest,,

i am sure i am not the only one to want shenmue back so have started a petition at

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/shenmue/

to tell sega we want shenmue back,

after all were the ones who fork out for there games, so we should have a say in whats released

Answer 1

i emailed sega about this too some time ago!

they told me that no plans had been made as yet to release any more shenmue games of the series,,

however, they are currently working on a title called shenmue online, which offers on line multiplay on your pc!!

i would love to see a return from rio hazuki,

when i had it on my dreamcast i could hardly put it down!!

Answer 2

Shenmue Online is due for release this year, and Shenmue 3 *might* start in development, a recent petition collected 20 thousand signatures :o

Answer 3

aparently the rest of the saga has been made (without involvement from yu suzuki however). if they were to release it it would have to be on next gen consoles, and the entire story would come in one single game.
(emphasis on aparently) nothing set in stone yet.

Answer 4

Lets hope to get to see a new title soon :)

Answer 5

I HEARED THAT THEY ARE SO GOOD LUCK
