Yeah, as is that phrase is meaningless. Does it mean the game is like 400-500 hours long? Or is it some weird calculation based on how much the average person games per day? Why not just state "the game is 50-60 hours long" or something? Ugh.
For some reason I interpreted "multiple weeks to complete" as the development time. I'm thinking, gosh that's fast.

It's probably a bit of an iffy translation as well. I'm sure they just mean "it's longer and deeper than the first two games" more so than "it's exactly this many hours."

Sounds good man. This could be a much bigger game than anticipated, but please let it be polished
At every step of your journey, a character will ask you to 'come back tomorrow', thus making the game massively longer
No way to speed up time, most of the game is buying capsule toys

$60-75 million to develop the first two games on their own engine they started building for the Saturn build. No one really knows how much they have for this game, but we now know it's definitely more than what they raised with Kickstarter.
20 years later? Why not. Shenmue 1 and 2 are ridiculously small by today standards, you can make those games for pocket money nowadays.
Nobody knows for sure but I would say 20-25 million (private investors, Shibuya, KS, Deep Silver). Next big update is in March.
I'm more concerned with the size of the world than the length of the game. Shenmue 1 was padded out with a lot of filler to make up for the fact that the Shenmue 2 stuff wasn't ready in time, where Shenmue 2 had much better pacing because it kept introducing new areas.
Why did they say multiple weeks. There are people who beat Red Dead 2 in like 3 days. They should of just left it at it being much bigger than the previous game.
I adored the first game on dreamcast. Didnt play the sequel even though I tried the demo on the O.G. Xbox. I have no desire to play the 3rd. This franchise/game is a game of time. The series has evolved with big open world games and games like Yakuza are the direct continuation of a series like Shenmue.

given the first shenmue was only about 15 hours if that, and the second one was about 25...i can imagine the third could easily be longer. i just hope it's due to decent content and not some grind. or some legit detective work to find people and places.
the remasters of 1/2 made me realise they've aged horribly. but i'm still looking forward to the third in the series. finally a bit of closure!

Geez, the cynicism in here. Do you all have a case of the Mondays or something?
Having loved the first two despite their issues, I will continue to look forward to this game, and I will probably also love it. I've never thrown $175 at something so fast in my whole life.

A couple hours a day is probably more than most people play. I know I can't play that much.

I don't think there is any Shenmue 3 news that isn't met with lots of skepticism and scorn. I guess we'll get a better sense of where we are once actual footage comes out.
This is a much less ambitious game in 2019 than Shenmue was in 1999 though. Lots of the budget for the original Shenmue game would have gone towards creating (and prototyping and testing) the systems behind the game (first on Saturn, then on Dreamcast). A lot of that work won't be necessary for Shenmue III - at least, not to anywhere near the extent that it was necessary for the first games.

One thing I remember about Shenmue 3's story and its depth, and this is paraphrasing something I read ages ago, is that a lot of the depth is going to come in the form of dialogue and how Ryo interacts with Shenhua. It sounded like there would be branching dialogue this time.
Can we get some gameplay videos of this anytime soon?
Pretty ridiculous there hasn't been. And honestly if it plays like the originals it won't be something many will enjoy in this day and age.
I still play 1 and 2 on my Dreamcast regularly but the gameplay mechanics have not aged well at all.
