The rocky PR road of Shenmue 3Īfter the announcement, it didn’t take long before some sites started to spread some misinformation regarding its funding, hampering the Kickstarter attempt.
Fourteen years later there was at last a sign of life, a possibility to see the story continue. It ended after finally encountering the elusive Shenhua who we only knew from some artwork or the opening in Shenmue 1. In Shenmue 2 it broke the feel of familiarity and brought in an adventure instead. The first Shenmue had an intimate feel because it was in a small city where everyone knew each other. Though Shenmue wasn’t a success, it still found many fans for its unique gameplay style in a world that feels alive and where you could even interact with most of the passers-by. For many of us, it was a very special announcement for an IP very dear in our young hearts that goes back to the Dreamcast that started at the end of 1999 and found its abrupt premature end with a huge cliffhanger in 2001 with Shenmue 2.
One of such “dream” announcement was Shenmue 3 going to Kickstarter. No, not the PlayStation exclusive game Dreams! We’re talking about the announcements.
