Well, I was hoping he'd try to make a new Outrun first, but it's neat that he's so dedicated in finishing the story. If he manages to tell it all in games, Shenmue will definitely become one of gaming's greatest franchises of all time.

What an awesome guy. Such a legend.
Shenmue 4 will be easier and cheaper to make due to the assets n team already being in place.
Shenmue 3 is amazing and is everything i wished it to be.
Thank you yu suzuki.

Hope he doesn't need crowdfunding to help fund his next project because it will most likely fail.
He has my full support. Although he should probably duck out of resorting to crowdsourcing for it if he can. I don't think it would work out nearly as well for him as it did for Shenmue 3 back in 2015.
With everything that happened with the PC version I would be shocked if anyone but the hardest of the hardcore fans would be willing to back a crowdfunded Shenmue 4, yeah.
I don't think it'll happen, I doubt the crowdfunding will be there again and I imagine sales for Shenmue III are going to be abysmal.
Absolutely possible. It depends how long those games are. The story of Shenmue consists of 11 chapters.
Shenmue 1 only consisted of 1 chapter and Shenmue II consisted of 3 chapters. Yesterday I only played a tiny bit of Shenmue 3, so I don't know how many chapters that game consists of.
It sucks that his studio probably is already or will be disbanded now that the game shipped and there are no immediate plans, that we know of, for the next one. Now that they have the tech down and got into the groove it probably would have been ideal and cheaper to continue and keep everybody working than to recruit again if or when he gets to continue.
If thought about the similar situation for Kojima Productions. They have the PC version to work at but a studio of that size needs constant work for all of its departments.

There will be no more crowd funding. The plan was always to be a once off given shenmue's situation.
Ysnet now have the funds, experience and team to pump out console games
To be honest, i can see how he could easily make another virtua fighter game. The foundation is set in shenmue 3. Just needs to add all the additional vf stuff. Honestly though sega should just pick the studio back up

If he needs to rely on Kickstarter then you will, most likely, never see Shenmue 4.
I like Shenmue 3, but it certainly has some room for improvement. I feel Shenmue 2 is more inviting to you player and doesn't hit you over the head as much if you go in the wrong direction or fail a fight. I hope he gets another chance.
I hope Shenmue 4 and on gets made but yes they killed any chance they had at crowdfunding with how they handled Shenmue 3 kickstarter.
I'm not so sure. Cedric Biscay hinted at already having a plan in place and wanting to move onto Shenmue 4 right away. He didn't go into specifics
If he can't get a shot at finishing Shenmue, I certainly hope he's chosen by Sega to help resurrect these classic series. Never keep a good man down... I've been decently surprised by Sega pushing Shenmue 3 via social media. What do most of you figure this game ended up costing the studio? It seems like sales have been decent considering how out of step the game is with modern trends, so I assume it doesn't even need to hit a million to merit another sequel.
User Warned: Port Begging
Hopefully they start working on an Xbox port for fans who can't play it on PS4 or have a potato pc
It's presently #12 on the Amazon PS4 chart. Not sure what that would equal in sales, but seems healthy considering we're in the holiday season.
After how badly you treated your backers? Yeah, keep dreaming Yu, you aren't gonna see any more money by this side...
The English localization team would be a huge boost, if they wanted to go that route.
It was always more or less his plan.
The whole first game is only one chapter, more or less the introduction of the whole story, so this explains that.
They didn't give a fuck about Shenmue 1 and 2 HD, and neither did they about Shenmue 3. Anyone but Sega please
