I'd take Corey Marshall, but I hope the script's originally written and acted in Japanese if it's an anime.

Shenmue 4 May Be Announced Very Soon? (Update: Confirmed NOT to be Shenmue 4; Is an anime series)
- Thread starter LelouchViBritannia
- Start date
I don't think I'm alone in saying Shenmue 3 15 years too late, it's from a bygone era, let it end.
I hope you are alone in that. At least in this thread where most people should have some interest in Shenmue if they are reading and posting.
By your logic we should let Mario or Zelda end too, since they are from an even more bygone era.
Well whoever is saying that is selfish, to want to take it from other people who may enjoy it.
I hope that's a joke? Those titles have redefined gaming over and over again. Shenmue 3 did nothing apart from take the story forward, it was a nostalgia trip nothing more.
I mean it's still a rubbish opinion, to want a series to end, if someone people enjoy it. Just don't play it, as they say.
I loved Shenmue 1 and 2 back in the day, and by all means enjoy Shenmue 4 if it comes, but I was very disappointed with 3.
Ok, I'm just not a fan of when people come in threads when they're not enjoying it any more (which is ok), and then saying it should be cancelled just because they didn't like it. It's never flattering.
All the fans really want is to see the story throughout while spending time in the world with those characters.
I don't want it cancelled I thought this thread was speculation? If its in production may it continue.
It's not a joke, it's putting the focus in the absurdity of your argument: that because of being old, a series must be ended.
66% of games in the Shenmue series redefined gaming in a lot of ways, too. Why should anyone wish for it not to have another chance? (and in a thread that should be full of people interested in that, is a pretty aggressive move too).
Edit: Now that I think of it, Zelda and Mario had those awful CDI games, which were far worse than Shenmue III (now this is actually a joke LOL)
I would want Shenmue 4 to be the end of the series, but not to end it outright. To give it a nice finale, cause the luck they had to make 3 wasn't going to last forever.
Could be, but the leaker says it isn't and has to do with the series' story.
Live action seems a bit too much to me.
The worst thing i can come up about the possible new anime is it being half western-made like some of the new Netflix stuff, since i can't see any Shenmue-related media being entirely Japanese, with also some poor cell-shaded cg graphics.

Need to change the title of the thread since its confirmed not to be Shenmue 4. How do i go about doing that?
Just report the OP with a title change request. I've just done it.

I guess the sweet is that we may see the original plot for III realised in anime form, the sour that we didn't get to play it. I think I can make peace with that.
Watch it be something like a new Shenmue website that's got information on the series.
I bet we're all totally off... I can't find a trace of a Shenmue project online and believe me I've tried every Shenmue-related keyword I can think of.

If it's anime, it's gotta have that Studio Ghibli vibe. We need a peaceful vibe with an amazing soundtrack. I can't accept a zAnY Shenmue anime. Obv. I don't expect a show/movie with the production qualities of Ghibli, but it needs that vibe...
I spent the better part of my day searching for even a crumb (Looking at Twitter follows, Googling Shenmue 3 credits, etc.) and came up with nothing. This is gonna be fun... Just two more days to go. I'm taking a break tomorrow. I always get so hyped up for Shenmue news. I can't wait to find out the news is a 4-page Shenmue comic book.
Well, this could be one huge coincidence, but the Adult Swim thing is at 3PM EST/8PM GMT/12PM PST tomorrow if that's it... Considering he told Dusk Golem to wait 'til Saturday to spill the details....
As you can see by my shiba inu avatar, I am a meitantei.
Depends on where you look, the Shenmue community seems to be lukewarm on 3, but would like another game. On the other hand, Comments on youtube videos (and a lot of people who admit they haven't played the games) or the handling of the kickstarter... are negative.
Deep Silver consistently releases sequels to much lower profile games, and without established fanbases, people figured didn't sell or whatever. I don't think it's anywhere near as unrealistic as others think.
But this is clearly gonna be an anime-type announcement now that Cedric's all but confirmed Saturday and now hyped up Crunchy Roll... That seems like a lot of effort for a dead franchise.
OF COURSE IT COULD STILL BE SOMETHING ELSE.

I think some people don't realise how niche Shenmue already was, and like to take a swipe at the sales.
He said: "I think financially it's fine and I'm glad that the core fans are pleased" before saying they see the series as more on the niche side.
I'm starting to feel like this Crunchy Roll thing is an intentional red herring from that crafty Cedric Biscay...
13 is an interesting number. I wonder if it will be roughly one for each of the 11 chapters. Maybe with a couple of later chapters taking up two episodes each?
