if not a video game, they should still release shenmue 3 somehow... sega should make a movie or a book, or something... ANYTHING to finish up the plot.
 

No thanks, I'd much prefer they make the game, I don't want a graphic novel from Sega or anyone else, I want a videogame made with Yu Suzuki's close consultation at the very least.

Yu Suzuki needs to get the hell on Shenmue 3. In video game form.

At this point, as much as i'd like a game, i'd be happy with at least a plot outline.

The entire 16-chapter story has been released years ago.

Yakuza is probably better in combat, although camera controls sucks.  Oh wells.  I am still working on Yakuza 1.

I think I'm at the point where I don't care if it's a game (though that would be preferable), as long as it gets resolved. I'm aware the story is finished, but I'm pretty sure it was never released or leaked. Anyway... Sega have made some pretty stupid decisions in recent years. Continuing the franchise would be stupid from a financial point of view, so maybe there's a tiny glimmer of hope.
