When Shenmue III was revealed at E3 in 2015, fans of the series were elated – mostly because the thing’s been dormant for decades, and a last game would finally give a bit of closure to a game that ended on a cliffhanger. Though the game was first shown at Sony’s E3 press conference that year, it was subsequently revealed to be a crowdfunded game that would be available for PC and PlayStation 4. Many of the PC gamers who backed the game are now furious

Sega is currently investigating how to make Shenmue 1 and 2 remasters a reality.

Kickstarter had a great 2015 and ran up pledges to the tune of over $46 million, even though video games had a 70% chance of failing on that crowdfunding platform.

In an interview, Shenmue Directir Yu Suzuki said he could do with more money, especially if he's to make the game look good grpahically.

Shenmue 3 is actually happening. Here's a new video showing off some of shiny lantern bugs.

Shenmue 3 has surpassed $4 million on Kickstarter. The developers have now announced that backers can choose a physical PS4 version if they wish.

Shenmue 3 broke Kickstarter when it launched its campaign, but is it actually feeding that money back to Sony? No, no it's not.

Sony hit all the right notes at their press conference, including a coordinated Kickstarter launch that accidentally broke the internet.
