Shenmue III & HD Collection announcement for PlayStation 4!!!

Life in exchange of Shenmue Remake for PS4!!!

Shenmue so excited!!

Let's hope they remove the QTE.... I don't know how games are still getting away with QTE's... Honestly, I blame Shenmue! ;)

If thinking about the Shenmue series doesn't make you break down in tears you are not a real man.

You don't put Shenmue in the topic title unless you're announcing Shenmue 3

Okay, I tracked the no reference number to a person (<< LINK REMOVED >>) on NeoGaf saying:

lacks applicant ref numbers, so it's fake. Also y'all who believe this don't talk no sense. All got poo brains. Poo brains.

Apparently this automatically proves the trademark is fake because the thread was closed down immediately afterward and many sites have updated their articles claiming the trademark is fake.

Now everything makes sense (sarcasm) beside this one little point:

The GDC conference wasn't announced until yesterday (Nov 26) but the trademark was published on (Nov 25).

Also one other small detail that may or may not be true. The application is still under examination, meaning it has not been authorized or perhaps not even looked at yet. Would a trademark company give a reference number to every application before approving it?

The trademark application does have a trademark # but why would anything that isn't approved yet require an applicant's reference #. Especially when said application could be revoked.

I have a hard time understanding why one person's comment (which by the way was rude & childish) could be taken with so much authority.

I sadly never played Shemnue, but i am actually hoping for another Virtua Fighter whether it's a port of an older game or even Virtua Figher 6 for next gen systems.

I hope This will be better than Yakuza for PS3.

Update:

Apparently the trademark for Shenmue III is fake. As it lacks reference numbers.

Shenmue 3 for PS4? If so, I'd buy a PS4 in a heartbeat, lol.

Shenmue III is so big Segabits can't handle it! Close to 15 years since the last game... by the time it comes out it will be 15 years and I'm still so excited for it's release. That just goes to show people how much of a lasting impression Shenmue has left on my life.

I was pretty excited when River City Ranson: Underground was successfully funded on Kickstarter.. but nothing compares to this!!!!!!

what a nice humble man. Come on Sony . Sort out the announcement. Get it done please. And give this man a job and freedom to create games. He should be doing not scrounging for airsapce and living only by Shenmue. There are other equally great games he made. Time to let him rip and start something new.

Also spoke top ASDA about PS4 as some stores are opening at midnight tomorrow to sell to people who didnt pre order which is stupid me. They told me on the phone that interest is unprecedented and think around 20 to 1 compared to XBOX 1. Queues will start at 6 pm tomorrow. They wil know by 5 pm. Clapham Junction London that is. anybody interested I will be there.

It's time for me to break out my Shenmue, Shenmue II, and Shenmue Online soundtracks and rejoice!

I have been wanting Shenmue 3 for years. I am getting x1 and wii u though so disappointing if they are putting it on ps 4 unless of course they make it xbox to.
