Shenmue 3 in development for PS3?

It is without doubt the rumor of the week or the month and even year for fans of the cult classic Shenmue .

Thus, the November 2011 mag PSM3 just be a rumor about the potential entry of a new title for the series Shenmue . The magazine speculates that SEGA is currently developing the long-awaited Shenmue 3 on PS3.

To justify this rumor, the paper draws on a recent statement by SEGA, which stated its intention to "continue to re-invite her classic IP" .

Previously, the designer of the series Yu Suzuki told the 1up site that "the concept of Shenmue 3 already exists" , but was shelved due to disappointing sales of the second album, and the large budget that would require the development a new chapter, about 70 million dollars according to the individual.

"The concept of Shenmue 3 already exists. The world of Shenmue 1 and 2 is extended outward. However, Shenmue 3 does not extend outward, but inward."

"Many dialogues are used for the main character and especially dialogue with Shenhua. They talk about different things and deeper. I can not say too much, but here's an example. It's not really in the game, but it is an example to give you an idea of ​​what I mean by deeper dialogue. When Shenhua and Ryo are at home, Shenhua will ask Ryo if he wishes to drink tea or coffee and the player will select the one or the other. "

Clearly, the term "deep" is to take the second degree, he suggests instead that the dialogues are very rich with a tendency to go into detail.

Returning to the rumor, it should also be remembered that CVG had published an article to know the expectations of fans on a possible result of Shenmue 2 . Following the very positive feedback, Mike Hayes , president of Sega America, said at the time:

"At present we have no plan for the franchise [on next-gen consoles], but the answer to the question of CVG has certainly shown that the legacy of Shenmue causes a lot of passion among fans. Do never say never ... "

If the idea of a Shenmue 3 is necessarily significant, needless to say that this rumor is to be taken with huge pincers. Until more information, here is what PSM3 says on the subject:

"Following an announcement that will reinvent Sega Virtua Fighter on the PSN, the publisher said he plans to" continue to reinvent its classic IP. " We can therefore speculate that we will finally see Shenmue 3, as well as remakes of Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio. "

Interesting. Thanks for posting this. I actually started a thread about Shenmue 3 in the Rumors/Speculation section about a week ago. You should go and post it there as well:

Seriously though, I had NO idea this was even speculated! I have to do some more research before I believe anything.

First stop, Shenmue Dojo.

i think is is a great Idea to do it on the Playstation 3 system only as it can handle such major tasks for gaming unlike xbox 360 which is weak hardware

Weak hardware hardly buddy. Have you seen Battlefield 3 with the HD texture pack on 360? Best looking console game in history.

Plus, the 360 and PS3 chips were made by the same manufacture. IBM, so they are extremely similar in what they can do. PS3 isn't THAT far ahead of the 360, not by a long shot.

Both processors are stripped down and modified versions of the IBM 970 PowerPC.

Cell Processor

* One general purpose PPE core that is used for the OS and the game application.
* 512 MB total memory on 2 buses which can be accesed directly only by the PPE core. 256 MB of processor main memory and 256 MB of memory used by GPU.
* 512 KB L2 cache for the PPE.
* 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache for the PPE.
* 7 specialized SPE cores. One is used for the OS leaving 6 for the game application.
* 256KB SRAM per SPE. No common memory between SPEs and SPE cannot access the PPEs main memory directly but the PPE can access the SPEs memory directly.
* Communications between SPE memory or to the PPE memory is performed via the Element Interconnect Bus (EIB) by either accessing ports or via DMA.
* SPEs do not have branch prediction capability.

Xenos Processor

* 3 General purpose PPE cores that are used for the OS and game application.
* 512 MB main memory that is shared by all three cores and GPU.
* 1 MB of L2 cache that is shared by the 3 cores (333 KB per core average).
* 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB data cache for each core.
* 2 Hardware threads per core.

The ps3 still has more cores and better gpu than 360. Not to mention blueray which hold way more data then 360. Suprised skryim would fit on one disc as it was rumored to fit on 3 discs.
