New Shenmue III Pre-Order Site + Xbox mentions in code & assets
- Thread starter Spaghetti
- Start date
Things like crash,PUBG, FF7, and S3 are obviosly timed. Unless they come out and expilictely say its exclusive its not. People need to learn to read between the lines. Ignore the ones that say its exluisve.
Welcome to web dev, enjoy your stay
(you ain't seen nothin' yet)
There's a 0% chance FF7 isn't day and date for Xbox. You can quote me on this on Monday.
On topic: Shenmue 3 on Xbox makes sense and it'll look good on my shelf beside OG Shenmue 2.
Sony need to stop their shite when it comes to stuff like this. I'm sure the Diablo deal was similar. Do marketing deals and stuff but these top secret don't mention the other version things need to stop.
I would love for this to happen just because I want it to be available to as many people as possible.
Buuuuut beyond that I really want people to stop assuming it is a Sony funded game and this would obviously do that. So many people even now act like every party involved had some slimey scheme with this title and it just was never the case.

If this doesn't turn out to be true I wonder what they are waiting for, since Deep Silver is publishing it and Sony didn't fund it, right? However, the studio of Yu isn't really that big, so that could be the reason too. Just like how some indie games still skip Xbox (at first) because they can only commit to one or two platforms first.
See... we can't even 100% rule out it coming out on the same day, but here you are. You might as well leverage that sane degree of certainty for any game you want to come across from PS4. Look at the people who think Death Stranding is coming to PC for example, because they think they have something figured out. Doesn't make anything certain.
YS Net owns the game's trademark, so it's up to them to choose as far as I can tell.
If it doesn't end up being true, I can see no situation where YS Net is going to spend time on a port when they could be preparing for the sequel. Like you said, small studio. A port could be supported by another publisher/studio though.
I really hope Shenmue III comes to Xbox. The franchise is deeply tied to the platform, I was really disappointed Xbox was skipped in the 2015 announcement and even more so when the Shenmue I & II remakes then did release on Xbox. There are way too many timed exclusive deals these days but we should criticize it left and right and not selectively.
The fact that 1 & 2 got Xbox versions, has nothing to do with 3 getting an Xbox version or not, that's down to Y's and Deep Silver. Sega licensed the IP to Yu Suzuki and have no control over it for this release, or how it's marketed.
In any case, it should release on every platform possible, because us fans need to see this saga complete, and every little bit helps.
This. My brother played the first 2 games on OG Xbox and I'm sure he'll be happy to play this on Xbox One too.
Sony didn't fund it. Actually their contribution was minimal (save for giving them spotlight at E3 and promising marketing they never delivered). But I guess YsNet is still tied to exclusivity in some form. As for why it's not happening: Porting costs money. YsNet is a small studio. And Deep Silver might not foot the bill yet for more platforms. We have yet to see. But I wouldn't expect it.
The Xbox One got the first 2 games alongside PC and PS4, it would be irrelevant not to release the third one on it.
I am hoping for some bundle and get all 3 on 1X. An insane amount of sailors in one package.
Also, if this's true, I hope they allow those of us who backed the Kickstarter to change the platform. I chose a PS4 version back then, but still haven't picked one up yet, so being able to hold off purchasing one for a bit longer would be great.
I see. Time will tell. Sunday will tell us if this is just some code or if it's legit happening. Really, really hope so, because I don't have a PS4 and I don't intend to get one anymore either. Not a year before PS5 comes.
Agreed. If only someone had a forklift type training to move it all.
The first game wasn't released on the OG Xbox. It was a DVD packed in with the second game.
Surprisingly got a decent price for my copy of it on eBay when I knew the HD set was coming out.
The dream, I guess, is dead then. Fuck!
Maybe just not worth it for the studio and/or publisher.

No, just lazy code. Most likely reused marketing material from other games that they just modified and stripped down.
If it was coming to xbox, you think they would have brought it up on the kickstarter to get even more funding.
Good if true.
Good if true.
Just a heads up that the Limited Run Games CE is going up for presale in a little under 2 hours:
"not the only difference between our CE and the one available in Europe"
Thanks for rubbing it in. Paying more and getting less, that's wonderful to hear.
That's more of an issue with Limited Run Games, though. I don't know how their business works, but they arrange their own perks outside the scope of whatever the publisher is directly doing.
I assume there will be more than 5,000 of the European CE as well. Is America even getting a crack at what you're getting in Europe?
I am not really a fan of this collectors' edition chaos. It's crazy such a niche game is getting so many SKUs. What the hell is up with that? Is Deep Silver cracked?

Seems like I was mistaken. The CE for America doesn't exist outside of Limited Run. I was thinking of the exclusive Best Buy steelbook which comes with the regular edition.
It's still ridiculous. I can't understand how Shenmue 3 is such a hot franchise that it merits 550 different editions. I mean it's that popular in my own head, but in the real world?
