@@Jose-se9pu I am actually stunned at how tone deaf he is. Like not chasing trends, fine, but completely ignoring genuine advancements and innovations made in 18 years is just downright idiotic.

He could have at least played something in the Yakuza series. Which is basically an evolution from the original Shenmue.

@@cartmann94 He'd be shocked to learn that you can condense an epic story from start to finish in just one game.

There was an episode of Futurama with bender being a chef like this

Yet Berserk fans can't take 6 months

He should have slimmed down chapter 7, and focused on the following chapters. Sega not letting him use the VF fighting engine when they have done nothing with VF for a decade, feels cheap.

Raj has entered the chat.

They had to cut a whole third chapter out so maybe some meaningful story progress was planned. Suzuki nails earlier games vibe, but needs capable co-director, better writers..

@@budgiecat2885 yes Nagoshi was hired to finally lead the project to finish, after two different console versions and bloated budget. Ambition and unrestricted creative freedom got out of hand. Hopefully, by some miracle SEGA has some involvement, if Shenmue still continues in a game form.

I dont see why a sequel couldnt happen. I imagine a large part of the budget went into creating a modern(ish) game engine. Theoretically with this in place it should be much easier and more importantly cost effective, to create a Shenmue 4. Suzuki is probably busy with the Shenmue anime right now but I imagine its possible a Shenmue 4 could be happening behind the scenes.

He is extremely delusional

@@ComicCrossing The video said the engine used was Unreal Engine 4, they didn't create any engine. Considering the game vastly underperformed sales wise I don't think Suzuki will have much luck making another game, because as it was said in the video, kickstarter funding is not enough for a game like this and they need to find a publisher that is willing to lose money just to please the fans that, let's be honest, weren't very pleased with this entry in the first place.

Or Inspector Gadget. "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, LON DI, NEXT TIME!"

I do admit i want two things from telltales A third batman telltale game with the court of owls as the next villains and a Blacksad Telltales game with the book series being made for eatch of the games

“I’ll find you Cooper!”

I’m in as long as Rockapella does the soundtrack 😉

Wait I thought Telltale Games went out of business?

i mean he always said that he visionned the story to be 5 Episode long , so i dont see how it was surprising , so i guess we will wait 20 years for the conclusion

I thought he was reaching for an 8 part series

It really is disappointing that he didn't bring the story arc to a conclusion. Now the subsequent sequels are only going to be less well-funded and more than likely less satisfying

@@athomicritics I think you mean 40 years, each one with worse game features

He couldn't really finish it in shenmue 3. Unless he rushed it ofc.

@@Jose-se9pu Like Eyepatch Wolf said, Shenmue 3 is nothing but a filler. Deluded that Suzuki wanted to continue on with the story, pulling an Inafune with planned anime and manga adaptations and spin-offs that would likely either never happen or release after the a nuclear apocalypse. I'm betting the former.

Are you though? Dude had plans to make Shenmue into a long running saga so the third game just being a filler arc makes sense if the idea is that he can just keep making these games at his own pace and the long ass gap between 2 and 3 doesn't register with the developer as being a wake up call. Further all signs point to the developer being badly out of touch with the expectations of both his fan base, modern game expectations and the concept of the trilogy. Simply put, this is the game he was planning all along.

@@Jose-se9pu No, that is what most fans expected, me included. Had it ended in 3, it would have been too abrupt. In an old interview Suzuki even stated that Shenmue III would focus on the characters rather than the story.

According to some of the hardcore fans (aka fans in denial) its in order to tell a complete story that isn't shit. I guess whatever makes people sleep better

@@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285 But are they even going to make a 4th game, even the 3rd was a Kickstarter project. I'm just asking if the publishers are ready to back a 4th game or not

He wasted his life so much that he had to waste it some more.

Poor guy, it's like a toxic relationship. He knows it's bad for him but can't stop coming back, no matter how hard he tries...

Cmon Master Chief, Let’s get the Fuck outta here

Even better, each Yakuza game tells a complete story, yeah the following games do continue some plotlines from previous entries, but overall you get a complete tale in one game everytime. The very first game in the story was a complete story.

Because Yakuza try to be a games and Shenmue try to be rl.

Technically 6 games. 7th game is a new protagonist and who knows how far that story will go.

@@kingslayerkoshy I'm counting Yakuza 0 which has Kiryu playable in it for 1/2 the game.

Yakuza doesn't have outdated controls either.

It's fine. He loves it.

Shenmue III was incredibly disappointing.

“Big” Punished Wolf “Boss”

I don't think he realized chef still taste test their food.

@@thatguysixx it is. What is a mirror inconvenience in 1 and 2 is had much worst. Also, biggest being the story has no direction and you keep repeating the same tasks.

It also goes to show how what was once inovative in 1999 isn't anymore. Games like Yakuza and GTA improved the base that Shenmue build.

@@thatguysixx It's that bad. The pacing of Shenmue and Shenmue II is gone. From the first 10 minutes you notice the dialog which left the player choices or paths in conversation were removed but still obvious as the shift from character to character is staggered. This causes character dialog to not only lose flow but be off tone as tho you are usually rushing the conversation.

@@boxtank5288: Tis a same though that when Yakuza was first released in the US it wasn't successful, though now the series is finally big over here (thank you Yakuza 0!). It is a shame that we will never here Mark Hamill playing Goro Majima again.

I was hoping they at least use Yakuza system/ Ryuu ga Gotoku system in game but nope, use same outdated system in Shenmue 2. Also iprefer if they use japanese voices and not english.

Yu Suzuki is not stubborn for not finishing the story, no the whole saga in one game that was on a budget. Do you even know how many chapters make up the whole Shenmue series? I doubt it. I agree the story was too light in Shenmmue 3 but it did advance the story abit. Having the rest of the 6 chapters fitted into one game would make it feel rushed and incomplete. Yu Suzuki didn't have to do that just to please the people who wanted to see the series end.

@@adamclark8994 But the story will likely never end now so basically the entry was "just there" and just left a bad taste for those few fans who still cared about the series

@@christophergarcia9022 there's a shenmue show being made, don't lose hope

@@ratedr7845 It was canceled. Yu Suzuki missed all his opportunities

@@adamclark8994 It's a cheap revenge story, They could have finished it in an hour of cutscenes,. It's only remarkable to you because you were 15. It's pure hubris and idiocy why he chose to make it a filler episode and chose not to adopt any lessons from 18 years of gaming.

which means less people to butt heads with for new ideas, such a good setting for a tone deaf and closeminded leader/director.

Imagine my 10th birthday super excited I got it as a gift. 32 now lol

God, I hate dumb decisions like that. It's like when Capcom used ports of old Dalkstalkers games to gauge interest for a new game in the series. Of course that didn't pan out, for obvious reasons.

So as someone that didn’t own a next gen console at the time, was there another legal way to okay the Darkstalkers games on console? From what I played through PlayStation Now, they were made by the same people who made Third Strike: Online edition. Like yeah, no game should ever be tied to the success of fucking rereleases but if the games aren’t available to play and/or buy legitimately (like they and MvC2 are on PS4) then it’s not all bad, right?

​@@djhero0071 In itself it's not bad. But tying the success of ports to whether there should be a new game is dumb. Especially when the port was released. Capcom themselves over saturated the fighting game market within a few years. SF4, SF2HD, SF3 Online, MVC3, DS Resurrection, SSF4, UMVC3, MVC Origins, TvC, SFxT. And that's not even counting all the other fighting games being released by other companies. That's the entire point I was making. Yes, it's cool we got ports for those games. They're still good games. But hinging a new game in the series based off of the sales of ports of 20 year old games is dumb.

I just don't understand why they didnt localize Ishin and Kenzan. Samurai games are doing extremely well.

Dead Souls was fun. F**k you, fight me.

made me wanna cry fr legends 1 n 2 will forever be my fav next to tomba

When he showed it I felt a sharp pain to my chest.

I can smell a what happened episode baking in the oven.

Felt that kick right in my soul

I wasn't ready to relive the heartbreak. I legit bought a 3DS thinking it was going to come out.

Bit late on my part, but the new shenmue doesn't even play the same as old shenmue. He literally downgraded the game till it was even worse than the old ones. How/ why he did thus, I will never know.

As far as i Know, Battle system isn't old one (virtua fighter style) but new generation (smash buttons like auto battles until you lose because you have to GRIND and grind and grind) They only had to do one thing with Shenmue: put and ending. Also within 18 years they could improve all limitations of 1999 (in that time it was a really upgrade to almost all game we had seen): story, sidequests, minigames... Street of rage remake improves sega street of rages and proves old games have something really fun, but we can say the same with Shenmue? I dont think so

The old ones were better games though, and much better story and gameplay.

@@budgiecat2885 I think that rather than doing a novel, he instead chose to do an anime.

It feels like the equivalent of a writer saying they don't read, but they enjoy writing stories. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

But the guy created classics like VF, Hang On, Space Harrier, OutRun, Ferrari F355, Power Drift, AfterBurner, Virtua Cop, Virtua Racing. His classic arcade games are all escapist fun, but with Shenmue he went down the road of realism, and I think got lost in that. He is a hugely talented game developer, and in hindsight I wish he had focused on escapist fun instead of pursuing realism. I feel Shenmue 2 is underrated and has aged far better than its predecessor and it's sequel. Shenmue 1 is clunky and tiresome while Shenmue 2 can enthrall me for hours.

@@Relugus only know the Virtua series is

yu suzuki did not know how to.

Simple: Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, the Anime Boom of the 90s/2000s, and the rise of streaming.

Action cartoons are definitely dying, unfortunately. Netflix is the one place where you can find them consistently.

The main reason is live action sitcoms they were cheaper to make and just as if not more successful as cartoon its the reason cartoon network tried to push for live action even tho it was called cartoon network so now we mostly get cheap comedies desinged to be streamed

@@GamerSlyRatchet1 this one hurts me the most , love me some good action cartoons . Always felt they had a better impact for emotional development and character development

Yu Suzuki, comparing himself to a cook who likes only the cooking and not the eating, is ironic given that a vast majority of the world class chefs do theirs seasonings by taste. He like a cook who follows an incomplete recipe, who refuses to taste his food, and who's shocked when people tells him his plate is tasteless

@@Shuyin781 Inspired by another comment - Yu Suzuki is like one of those chefs on kitchen nightmares. He was successful 20 years ago, when every restaurant was bad and his was just a bit better. Since then, he never developed, probably actually got worse while the food world continued innovating or just getting better, only cares about his own opinion on the food, everyone hates it, and the only ones liking and defending are the same people from 20 years ago blinded by nostalgia.

Especially Yakuza 5's western release which was a huge mess. Also Nagoshi started with Shenmue?

How is that game? Be thinking about trying it out.

Yu Suzuki: "but back in my days, i was innovative, and still am!" People: "say the old guy who don't play video games, despite the fact he makes them for a living"

That is honestly the best analogy I can think of.

He is to video games what Chevy Chase is to comedy

I mean, to be fair he seems pretty happy with creating and with the games industry, he just doesn't like to play them at all

@@MrDiana1706 That's all well and good, but if you're making a product expected to sell and make a profit, and also be enjoyed by modern audiences, maybe bring in some other opinions about gaming if you're that knowingly out of touch.

Sega was a nothing company before Yu Suzuki turned them into the undisputed kings of the arcade. He made Hang On, Space Harrier, OutRun, Power Drift, AfterBurner, Virtua Racing, Virtua Cop 1 and 2, Ferrari F355, VF 1, 2, 3, and 4, OutRun 2 (which showed he can still make brilliant games). The young Suzuki wanted Space Harrier to be a flight sim but thankfully decided "sod that" and made a fun rail shooter with a blonde superhero carrying a huge gun in a Never Ending Story and Roger Dean inspired aesthetic.

@@Relugus does that change the fact that he's simply making a game that wouldn't have changed quality in 20 years because of his stubbornness?

@@Relugus I think respecting what Suzuki did is a fair idea, they contributed alot to gaming and Sega. But I just can't respect his future decisions, I really do think he had a fall from grace.

Miyamoto doesn't play video games outside of work, either. I think not playing video games is an advantage for developers. Otherwise everything gets too "meta", which is how pretty much all western entertainment is now.

@@leftyfourguns It definitely isn't an advantage. All the improvements with how people make games now will just be lost and you will be making a very outdated game. Older =/ better.

Honestly, sounds to me like you should ditch those gaming friends for better ones.

Changing the fighting mechanics was a HORRIBLE idea.

After 20 years of waiting, it was delusional to think that a complete revival for 3 game and more was possible (Yu Suzuki is in his mid-60's). Given the very mixed fans reviews, it's safe to say that a lot of them were expecting a closure on shenmue's story, and felt underserved by shenmue 3, who didn't made the story progress at all.

@@budgiecat2885 still, the story didn't progressed AT ALL in shenmue 3. You could cut shenmue 3 out of the game canon and it wouldn't make any difference. If you're trying to revive a serie, even if it's slow paced, you need to make the plot advance.

@@budgiecat2885 except that the relationship between the characters didn't change or progressed either. By the end of the game, Ryo and shunhua still have the same chemistry as 2 unacquainted coworkers stuck in an elevator, and the power gap between ryo and lan di didn't close even a little bit.
