Re: Could the Shenmue 4 Dream Still Be Alive?

@Uncharted2007 I played it and couldn't finish it. The first few hours in the second location, wandering around, investigating was great. Took me right back to my childhood. Perfect Shenmue. Hitting story wall enemies that rendered all training and skill worthless made me quit in annoyance. Wasn't too fussed about the story not moving forward as it never really did in the other games. I will probably play a fourth, just because of how much I like the first two, but I hope they take a different route with it design-wise.

To my thinking its the same comparison as Sekiro vs Ghost of Tsushima.

Many more people played and liked Ghost, but for those who got into Sekiro and overcame its challenge, it was something truly special.

Kinda like the contrast between popcorn and arthouse cinema. Less mass appeal, but more meaningful to fewer people. Both have their place in the culture.

I just picked up a second hand Pro instead and couldnt be happier. The upgrade to 4K is a massive difference to me, but its all about the games at the end of the day. Either next (current?) gen console is yet to have that truly killer must-have IMO, and with Elden Ring, Horizon, God of War etc. still coming to PS4, I can wait at least another year.

When Yakuza games go exclusive to PS5, I will follow.
