Shenmue 3 hasnt been cancelled...becasue they never started it. Yu Suzuki is currently tied up with the Shenmue MMO, so Shenmue 3 wont even start till that's done, and I don't think the MMO is out till next year.

Secondly, the Shenmue games cost lots and lots of money to make and ddint make a profit. No amount of online petitions or messageboard campaigns will change that. What publisher in their right mind would want to fund a game that has no chance of turning a profit?

That said I would really like Yu Suzuki to release maybe a book or graphic novel which explains the rest of the story. I don't want to remember one of my favourite games for my entire life as the one that ended in a cave and I never found out what happened next.

I know it hasn't been canned but it might if people don't respond.

It could get canned if people don't keep the name alive.

Wasn't the MMO cancelled? Or was that just for the US and Europe? Anywho, I love Shenmue as much as the next Shenmue-fan, but like nuttybar said, there is no profit there, and at the end of the day, petitions aren't going to generate profit. I'd be ecstatic if the scenario of Shenmue III being released comes to fruition, but it is unlikely (I accepted this sad fact long ago). Anyway, if they don't finish it, I think they owe it to the fans to finish the story in one form or another. There may not be a great deal of Shenmue fans compared to some franchises, but we are dedicated. A book or graphic novel, as nuttybar said, would be nice. Hell, I'd even settle for a blog post from Yu Suzuki that concludes the story and answers our questions!

Shenmue Online is supposed to be shown at China Joy july 15 just like it was shown last year, while it's nearing completion i think more people will come in and help wrap up the game, hopefully this will mean this year it will look good and even better when it's out.

I'm sure Yu Suzuki doesn't want to make the game bad if it has the Shenmue name in it, he said 1 and a half years ago that he still doesn't have the graphics looking like Shenmue yet, i'm sure when and if it gets released this year it will atleast look good.

This time i'm expecting it to look really good as 1 year has passed and it's nearly finished, when i saw it first it looked pretty bad, then it looked much better just after 1 and a half years, this is the time it's supposed to look good but i really want Shenmue 3 only and not this.
