Nattens Sony-konferanse på E3 var full av overraskelse. Ikke bare disket de opp med The Last Guardian og en remake av Final Fantasy VII, de hadde også invitert Yu Suzuki til scenen sin. Anledningen var den formelle annonseringen av Shenmue 3, som nå er å finne på Kickstarter.
Selv hadde Suzuki følgende å si om prosjektet:
- Since the release of Shenmue 2, now 14 years ago, I have been greeted by the passionate outpouring of dedicated fans and Shenmue community members wherever I go. They all want to know one thing: When will Shenmue 3 be coming out?" With the advent of games using Kickstarter during these past few years, the new and now frequent demand from the fans has been, "Do a Kickstarter for Shenmue 3!" If Shenmue 3 was going to get made, I wanted to make it with the fans. Through Kickstarter, I knew that could happen. Together, with Shenmue fans everywhere, I knew we could build the game that the series deserves.
Vi håper og tror dette kan bli startskuddet for noe fantastisk. Er du enig?
