SOOOO much nostalgia hitting me this E3. While far from perfect, Shenmue was incredibly innovative and fun for its time. Somehow they made moving crates fun. :)
@rrhoover seriously, what other game has fans waxing poetic over a forklift? Shenmue was ahead of it's time in every way possible. I've never felt so immersed in a game before or after. Shenmue's world felt real and alive, the obsessive polish around all these mundane details (make small talk with anyone, buy a soda, chill at the arcade, open any drawer) combined with an epic story that was stupidly ambitious in scope is completely unmatched. never stopped believing the series would come back someday.
@rrhoover Man, I too spent way too much time with the mini games in Shenmue. Loved how the series blended many game genres together. Definitely very ambitious for its time.
This really has been the best E3 in a while!
Back in 1999 i went to the mall and stayed up all night to wait in line for the Sega Dreamcast, mainly to play Shenmu when it came out. Was the first game to market itself as a "explore anywhere anytime" kind of game - as far as i know.

This is sick! Best news in ages.
Only bad is that after backed you backed it you will have to wait 2,5 year. But it will be worth the wait.
