Shenmue 3... PLEASE!!!!

odd, i thought it was canceled

there are pics and info on shenmue dojo, doesnt look very good.

It looks good enough for a MMORPG... If you were going to have a MMORPG with the graphics of the original game you would need a lot of power.

I really hope that Shenmue 3 gets developed though. Theres some rumor that it has already been developed mostly, just need to get it out onto the next gen consoles and all that.

Man, I wish I had a DC. I've heard wonderful things about Shenmue and its sequel.

You can get Shenmue 2 on the Xbox.
These games are beautiful, you really gotta play them.

Shenmue Online has been in the works for years. Theres a lengthy trailer of it on www.fileplanet.com and probably many other places. The game is only for the PC. This is NOT Shenmue 3.

It's only comming out in China and Korea too. I think if it does well there they will release it worldwide. Would be nice if they do.

Shenmue Online will suck imo, I mean people throwing fireballs and shiet, doesn't at all feel like the Shenmue spirit.
Hopefully they'll do a Shenmue 3 tho, and hopefully they won't make it so that you have to follow the online game to get the story.

Yes but it wouldn't really be a MMORPG if they didn't have different classes. You can play as someone who purely fights hand to hand, or someone who can cast spells. It's just the way MMORPG's are.

I know, which is why I would have prefered if they DID NOT make a MMORPG out of it.
