This guy (I hate how he talks) says something about "VF's Master System games that were just like cool story books?" what the hell is he talking about?
There was VF for the Game Gear, guess it was ported to Master System in Brazil, but it was only one game!
shenmue was too far ahead of its time! it was a experience like never before, an on eof my greatest games ever! any one who loves cinema, an gaming, an music, an interactive art owes it to themselves to experience shenmue 1an2! i think if yu suzuki would make shenmue 3 now, an with all the mod cons of gaming today it would be a monster hit, all over the world unlike the original which was only famous in japan, an amongst hardcore gamers, like me, today the world would love a open world SHENMUE3!
Shenmue was and still is the greatest game ever!!! If money is the issue with this game continuing it's quest, I'd donate $20-50 and have others do the same while signing a petition to bring shenmue back. I'm sure with all the die hard fans out there, we'll have more than enough money to finish the story once and for all!
20:51 - Exactly why Suzuki should be an inspiration to all, and the problem with the industry today IMO. Shenmue is brilliant without a doubt, but when you look at everything he created before then and realize their own impact on the industry, you realize how we got to where we are today.
low US sales be damed, Shenmue I and II are masterpieces. i bought my copies, and i totally think they should continue the series. fans need to keep pushing Suzuki to do it. there were a grip of showcase shots of Shenmue during the course of the documentary, so i really think they may be trying to get it picked up again. Xbox is shit, so i think if they put out 3 on PS3 (or PS4) and sell the first two games as DL material online, we'd have a winner. come Suzuki, DO IT. LoL
Since they haven't brought Shenmue 1 & 2 to the PSN/Xbox Live Arcade, I believe that SEGA is saving them and Shenmue 3 for their rumored mysterious new console. Just imagine Shenmue a launch title for it, I would buy it and the new console first day. Who else thinks this might happen ^_^?
It feels kind of sad watching this video now since Yu Suzuki will be leaving Sega next month but I still hope Shenmue 3 will happen and I don't care what form it takes, I still want it!
@Balzak802 Suzuki said he believes Sega would let him make Shenmue 3, note he said "let". which suggests Sega won't legally block him from doing Shenmue under his own steam.
The thing that really illustrates Suzuki's brilliance is Virtua Fighter:
Sega asks him to make a game to rival Street Fighter 2, and where most game designers would try to copy SF2, Suzuki instead comes up with something completely new. The mark of a true innovator.
thanx for adding this i used to love the old G4 but the shows thats actually good are AOTS and X-Play, but i used love Icons tho anyway thanx for adding this
Brings back so much memories watching this again. Not only G4 actually showing video games and useful documentaries such as this episode of Icons. But watching this again, like the first makes the kid in me come out again. Thanks I needed this video again. :D
Im tired of waiting the dude has even left sega, what's next for Shenmue fans? a Shenmue like game from his new studio but without using the Shenmue name franchise???
wow a Japanese man that knows nothing about martial arts i know most dont these days but you would have thought yu suzuki growing up would have had some training
@showti He is currently working on a couple of things that we know about. 1 being Shenmue Gai/City and also a kinect fighting game. He has also just made a new studio that actually has many people who worked with him on the first shenmue. Fingers crossed!

At 18:10, Anatole Brown says that the Xbox version was "all subtitled" with "no American voices". He's wrong.
He must be thinking about the UK DC version.
The Xbox version is fully voiced with English speaking actors.
