Yu Suzuki confirms that there are no plans for Hazuki-san to avenge his father...
As a piece of news that strikes through this authorās heart legendary SEGA developer Yu Suzuki has recently confirmed in an interview that there are currently no plans for Shenmue 3.
In an interview conducted by gamer.com.tw a number of weeks ago Suzuki-san seems to have closed the final chapter on the tale of Ryo Hazuki and his search for revenge, although the man behind Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Outrun and many more did claim that if the project was green-lighted he would happily return as director. If true the news would likely come as a sobering final disappointment for SEGA fans who invested much into the exuberant franchise that knocked the House of SEGA.
Lest we need reminding Shenmue was and still is the most costly videogame ever devised with a reported budget between $40-60 million; the first two titles saw the titles hero Ryo Hazuki begin an epic tale of revenge that spanned both Japan and China, but unfortunately thatās about as far as he got with SEGAās well documented demise putting the saga firmly into the same realms populated by the likes of Ghostbusters 3!
Given Suzuki-san comments the Shenmue fan in us has to believe thereās hope, however weād have thought the chances of pushing the project through the business-savvy Hajime Satomi would be an entirely different matter ā“ unless thereās a pachinko-slot version in the works. Letās just hope SEGA can officially put fans out of their misery soon and bring an end to the debacle.
