Why haven't they told Sega Hey let us Remake 1 and 2 using our engine
then if is well received, make Shenmue 4.

The last Yakuza sold more than the entire Shenmue series combined. So they're probably not on their radar. Why waste time and money on a lesser series when they could remake/remaster older games or localize the ones that didn't come out here.

The shenmue devs are idiots. I waited 20 years to see an ending. I ended up not even playing shenmue 3 after someone told me it doesn't finish the story and ends on another cliffhanger

Fuck the shenmue devs

I doubt they even care about Shenmue, it's a very niche game and wouldn't be worth their time

The Shenmue guy is probably horrible to work with. He's basically out of touch.

Yu Suzuki is a legend in the industry.
Easly as important as Miyamoto, and arguably more so.

Why would a planned like 8 plus part series end with the third game? That's on you not the devs

Shenmue was always a money pit. I heard it never actually made money.

I believe it was stated they would have had to sell multiple copies to every dreamcast owner to break even

It was originally planned to be 16 games. They can finish up the story in a single game if they wanted to. It's not hard. Maybe just cut down a bunch of filler. I just wanted to see the final battle between Ryo and Lan Di.

Why would they make more Shenmue when Yakuza is the same thing but better in every way?

It's not hard to cut a 16 planned game into 3 - Zikten

Given how literally nothing happened in Shenmue 3, that is probably true.

Shenmue can go live in a drawer. They have no idea what they want to do with it, and given the chance on reinvigorating the franchise, squandered it.

https://youtu.be/FpNAKDx4CwY

In short, it's not on RGG Studio to rescue Shenmue.

I have a feeling most people who shit on shenmue today, never played it when it first came out

I got Shenmue 1 at launch on dreamcast. And played 2 on Xbox. You are right. They were pretty cool at the time. Shenmue 1 was groundbreaking at the time. Nothing like it had ever existed. But they fucked up. Even by game 2 they were making sacrifices. I dont know how many know this but Shenmue 2s story actually includes what was originally planned to be shenmue 3 and 4 as well.

Shenmue 1 is just chapter 1. Shenmue 2 is chapters 2 3 and 4. They had already realized they wouldn't be able to do the 16 games. That is why I say they can wrap up the story in 1 game. They have already done multiple chapters in 1 game. I have no idea what chapters are in 3. But after 20 years they should have just fucking finished the story
Shenmue 4 will probably never happen
