Apparently the article says that development of the game has been halted for as of yet unknown reasons. JCE should be making an announcement about it next week.

Good riddance I say. Hopefully with this nonsense behind them Sega can get cracking with Shenmue III and then let the series end forever with its integrity intact.

Well, that was vaguely predictable.

The problem with making Shenmue III now is that for it to look good by today's-- or tomorrow's-- standards, they'd have to give it a lot of scrubbin'. And for me, that'd already distance it too much from the first two games, somehow... not that it'll ever be made anyway.

Yay!

I've already decided that when I'm ridiculously wealthy and eccentric, my mindless pet project that I'm going to piddle my millions into will be the completion of the entire Shenmue saga. On Dreamcast hardware.

The good thing about excellent titles that flop is that they remain forever sacred.

HOORAY.

Although, I heard somewhere that they had handed development to some Taiwanese company (aka programming sweatshops) for completion. Or something like that, don't know if that's at all reliable.

And I had that same idea, Gibbon.

There's an alternate universe where Guardic Gaiden is the longest-running series in the industry with over 50 titles to its name, while oldschool gamers long for the members of what used to be Capcom (which has long since been dissolved and absorbed into Irem) to develop Mega Man 2.

(sarcasm)I'm shocked and crushed!(/sarcasm)

Well that's too bad. I guess I'll just have to go find ANOTHER fireball-spitting Ryu somewhere.

Uh, incidently, is that site in Japanese for eveybody else, or am I just thick...?

It's Portuguese, dawg. Your browser must be fucked up.

It's all Greek to me.

Orgazmo for the win.

Whoops. My mistake. I'm wrong.

That's CHINESE, not Japanese. And certainly not Portuguese.

It sure isn't.

It's Russian.

I'm wrong again. I think it's Korean. I sometimes have difficulty telling them appart, but I'm pretty sure that's Korean.

Korean has little circles in it.
Chinese is rediculously complicated looking.
Japanese is less complicated looking.
Portugese looks like Spanish, with an alphabet similar to the English language's.

Now you know.

WHY WON'T ANY OF YOU CLICK THE LINK!!!!

I'm absolutely sure that that is not Korean. But I have a hard time telling some Japanese and Chinese characters apart.

Although I do recognize the simpler characters as Japanese. From Shenmue.

It's African.

The Antarcticans use a similar dialect, though it shouldn't be difficult to distinguish their writing systems.

From your descriptions I have deduced that it is obviously ancient sanskrit, used in an attempt to appeal to the ancient priestly caste of India.

Or maybe it's klingon.
