SHENMUE 4 UPDATE FROM YU SUZUKI - Shenmue Dojo

Shenmue dojo is such an ancient website, I’m 34 and used to browse that site when I was 11 or 12 and was playing shenmue on Dreamcast

The interview was overall a blast to read through, and I'm super happy for James and Switch for getting to actually meet the legend. Knowing the status quo is always a good thing. So let's hope we can get Shenmue IV and V made. I also saw the interview make some news on gaming news media sides here in germany, which is an amazing accomplishment.

Well done mate, we must see a Shenmue 4 and or 5 and complete this masterpiece.

Shenmue 4 will come out 💪

Vivi-G: it can't just be 1 game, it's too much to compress & due to Shen3's lack of story progression I see Shen5 is vital - but I'm glad to see Yu believes that too. I've started adding more content to the Shenmue Wiki. But as far as partners, I'm still saying RGG Studios is the go to - 'similar' styled game, good budgets and in cahoots with SEGA.

Very good video, this interview makes me optimistic for Shenmue 4, we need to keep pushing to have the next game, the second season of the anime and maybe Shenmue 0 after that! Nice to know that there are interests from potential partners too! Thanks for your videos !

That was such an awesome interview! Thanks so much Shenmue Dojo, Yu Suzuki, and all others involved for providing it! I was also thinking that, along with sharing the interview around the internet, we could add something like #ShenmuePartner or #LetsGetShenmuePartner or something along with #LetsGetShenmue4 to help get the word out that Suzuki and Ys Net are looking for a partner to get IV and V made. Like you guys are always saying, as long as we can keep eyes on this, the possibility is always there! I also love the idea of a novel coming out someday! I'd love to read the story of Shenmue when traveling. Either that or maybe some sort of Shenmue lore book could come around! I'd buy that in a heartbeat! Maybe even publish the Legend of Akira books alongside it! This interview got me so excited for so many things! haha So thanks again Matt, James, Switch, Yu Suzuki, and all others involved in setting up this interview and bringing it to us! Looking forward to what's next for the Dojo, and of course whatever comes next for Shenmue! Let's get sweaty! Edit: Forgot to also credit Phantom River Stone as well! Thank you so much for your contributions PRS!

Even if it's more realistic, I hope them trying to finish the story in Shenmue 5 doesn't cause them to rush the story and cut out a lot. Though I'm pleased to hear that there is some interest from others for that partnership Yu Suzuki is looking for. I think that we may hear something new about Shenmue 4 soon.

Just crowdfund again. Ask for the amount you need, however much, and let the fans decide if it's worth it. Don't lowball it at 2 million again and rely on publishers. I'd happily contribute to a 20+ million kickstarter, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work

Some great news updates

I wish they would make a Shenmue game where you play as Iwao Hazuki and you get his backstory about him and Lan Di

I kind of wish they would just make a shenmue novel or series of novels that completes the rest of the story

Sega needs some vision with this , they can provide a true alternative to yakuza that does not feel derivative.

He should end it with 4 , he's not getting any younger , and also he needs shenmue to move to modren gaming . I know 3 was made for the fans and it had that shenmue charm in it . But if they want a successful game , an upgrade is needed without losing it's identity.

Was there ever an interview with Yu on how the series originally would have gone down? Shenmue III was supposed to be a Dreamcast game still, that i know, but further down the line?

"No chance we'll see him go back to Japan?" "Not currently". That's weird. I remember an older interview where the same question came up, and the answer was, "not in 3". Implying that in future games, he would. Now it sounds like they'll never show it.

I sent a message to a French video game content creator to tell him about the interview, we have a lot of informations but in France the interview went unnoticed

I would so love to just win a lottery and offer up the entirety to fund these... they can give it back without any interest whenever they want.
