It is without doubt the rumor of the week or the month and even year for fans of the cult classic Shenmue .

Thus, the November 2011 mag PSM3 just be a rumor about the potential entry of a new title for the series Shenmue . The magazine speculates that SEGA is currently developing the long-awaited Shenmue 3 on PS3.

To justify this rumor, the paper draws on a recent statement by SEGA, which stated its intention to "continue to re-invite her classic IP" .

Previously, the designer of the series Yu Suzuki told the 1up site that "the concept of Shenmue 3 already exists" , but was shelved due to disappointing sales of the second album, and the large budget that would require the development a new chapter, about 70 million dollars according to the individual.

"The concept of Shenmue 3 already exists. The world of Shenmue 1 and 2 is extended outward. However, Shenmue 3 does not extend outward, but inward."

"Many dialogues are used for the main character and especially dialogue with Shenhua. They talk about different things and deeper. I can not say too much, but here's an example. It's not really in the game, but it is an example to give you an idea of ??what I mean by deeper dialogue. When Shenhua and Ryo are at home, Shenhua will ask Ryo if he wishes to drink tea or coffee and the player will select the one or the other. "

Clearly, the term "deep" is to take the second degree, he suggests instead that the dialogues are very rich with a tendency to go into detail.

Returning to the rumor, it should also be remembered that CVG had published an article to know the expectations of fans on a possible result of Shenmue 2 . Following the very positive feedback, Mike Hayes , president of Sega America, said at the time:

"At present we have no plan for the franchise [on next-gen consoles], but the answer to the question of CVG has certainly shown that the legacy of Shenmue causes a lot of passion among fans. Do never say never ... "

If the idea of a Shenmue 3 is necessarily significant, needless to say that this rumor is to be taken with huge pincers. Until more information, here is what PSM3 says on the subject:

"Following an announcement that will reinvent Sega Virtua Fighter on the PSN, the publisher said he plans to" continue to reinvent its classic IP. " We can therefore speculate that we will finally see Shenmue 3, as well as remakes of Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio. "
