-Ryo will return back to Japan, and make a short trip back home. Lan Di will return and burn down the Hazuki residence.
Ine-san will fall deadly ill, and Fuku-San is forced to take after the Dojo.
-Ryo will bring a friend, possibly Ren, on
with his next journey. The start of the game will happen in Kerlin where you left off.
-Chai and GuiZangh will make appearances.
Lan Di will get a hold of the two mirrors.
-Master Chen and Zhu Wan Da will meet and discuss why Iwao was murdered.
-The
mysterious women Niao Shun will be one of the lead characters. She is seen at the end of Shenmue II
-The Chi Yo Men will
kidnap most of Ryo's friends along whis journey.
-From a little detective work I beleive I have found where Shenmue 3
will be set. In Shenmue2 if you look at the pictures on the walls of Shenhuas house she talks to you about them. She talks
of a busy and vibrant city called Luoyang. It is further north of Guilin. On the pic a red ancient building is shown. This
building is also shown in the sleeve of the Shenmue Orchestra CD with Shenhua outside it. She basically tells you that they
will be going there. She says she has unknown nostalgic feelings toward Luoyang. They will go there! In a different pic she
talks of the Chinese mountains where tales say people never return from. This has to be Lan dis HQ. I doubt that Ryo will
go back to Japan. A few years ago Yu Suzuki said Shenmue will be a game primarily set in China. I would guess Ryo will go
to Luoyang, then Lan dis HQ and then Tibet in later Shenmues. Also I think Ryo and shenhua could be related or her father
who left could be Chai or Ziming.Ziming could be Lan di, Baihu, or Chai.
-Ryo returns back to Japan, Nozomi is visiting her grandmother too. There will be meet at Japan again?
Shenmue 3 Ready for Next-Gen
It has essentially been close to finished and 'ready' for some time - but in hibernation,
pending a deal for the entire series on at least one next-gen console.
The new plan for Shenmue has been to include the whole series - chapters 1-16
- on at least one next-generation console.
It won't be titled "Shenmue 3" The game, or games, are theoretically complete
and ready to be ported to Xbox 360, PS3 or Revolution, depending on a deal with one of the hardware manufacturers.
Yu Suzuki has very little involvement in the Shenmue 3 project, and that's something
that may come as a surprise to many Sega followers.
Our source clarified, "the series is under the AM2 portfolio.
Shenmue remains at AM2 while [Suzuki] pursues other things."
There are some key, familiar AM2 faces looking after Shenmue 3, including some relatively
new talent from within the studio.
First our source confirms what most fans already knew, "the story is entirely done",
(we're pretty sure the story had been finished since before the release of Shenmue 2) before elaborating, "the texture and
modelling work is ready, they know what their characters look like and there's hundreds of gigabytes of [uncompressed] textures.
Game designs are done. There is no more research to be done. It's a matter of 'porting' to whatever [console]."
"Extremely unlikely", according to the source, is that the project could surface
on current-gen consoles: "it would be too much work", cites the source. Interestingly, the source explained that it is cheaper
to finalise production for next-gen machines than for current-gen, because of the nature of development work that is already
complete. "It would be a struggle to get everything in [on current-gen]." It seems to make sense. Our source offered, "360
looks most likely, but we shall see what the future brings."
