For those that haven't seen the front page of XBA:
K, I didn't buy the first Shenmue seeing how I didn't own a DC. I bought Shenmue II on Xbox because of the way Ninja was talkin about it. I played it, and loved it.With Shenmue 2 recently being released in America for the Xbox, it’s emerged that, should it not sell well, Shenmue 3 will never see the light of day.
Given the less than impressive Xbox sales in any region, we’d be surprised if Shenmue 3 isn’t thrown into the trash compressor. A crying shame given the brilliant gameplay that was had with the first two games.
Course, could be a rumour, so you never know.
Anyone who's played this game knows that this story needs to be told through to its completion. You just can't stop half-way through!
I do agree with a comment Hugh-Jass said, that Sega should have exploited the Xbox's hardware a bit more, but I still think that the gameplay and storyline were MORE than enuf to make up for this.
If Shenmue 3 doesn't see the light of day, I can say for sure that there will be an incredible amount of peeved and dissapointed gamers around the world.
