Ryo Hazuki’s frenzied skinhead adversary Chai will return in Shenmue III – powered by the protagonist’s Hong Kong ferry ticket. New screenshots from the long-awaited sequel show the crazed individual attempting to attack the hero and his accomplice Shenhua, while other images reveal antagonist Lan Di.
Speaking at the Japan Expo this weekend, series creator Yu Suzuki said that the game’s been designed to accommodate all kinds of different playthroughs, we’re assuming much like the originals. He also pointed out that every cabinet in the game’s arcade is playable, although with SEGA taking a backseat on this one, don’t anticipate any After Burner or OutRun.

I spy a Space Harrier poster and a Sega arcade in there. I think Sega might offer a few classics with this.
Don't expect any Sega games despite a big Space Harrier poster in the screenshot
@carlos82 although the older shenmue games had space harrier and hang on i don't think this will have any of those games as it's not published by sega anymore which is a shame.
These screenshots and the new trailer reflect far better on the game than what we saw at E3.
Also looks like a Virtua Fighter arcade behind Ryo's face. Bit blurred but that looks like Akira.
@carlos82 @MaseSco I'll be shocked if they're in the game, but we'll see.
@carlos82 And the cabinet for Excite QTE 3 has the Sega logo.
@Orpheus79V @get2sammyb @huyi yeah there's quite a bit to suggest that such games could make an appearance Sega still own the IP and their name is clearly visible, surely it's easier to put in such games then to invent new ones?
We shall see.
I read that headline as "Chai fully playable". May have wet myself a little.
@Gremio108 same here 😂
I find it kind of silly that with only 4 months to go till this is out,that they haven't fully released the list of all the important voice actors yet. For example,
there were people on facebook asking if Joy is in the game, and no answer.
Definitely having me a game of 'Nice Golf' as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
