07/02/2008: The Shenmue III Online petition now has less than 500 signatures to go before it reaches a milestone mark of 50,000! Sega might take more notice when it has this many sigs. Sign away people! www.petitiononline.com/shen1986/petition.html

It has over 50,000 now and Sega still doesn't care. As expected...

Really how would 50,000 make a difference? Can't people sign them petitions more than once? Even if it was all individuals if they all bought the game sales would still be really low.

So true, who has the time to sign a petition 50,000 times?
Good post, B-dawg. Direct and too the point. The shortening of 'retard' only gave the meaning more emphasis and allowed it to stand out more. 7/10

65,000 sigs at 60 US dollars a pop if released on a next-gen or current system, that is $3,900,000 dollars in video game sales. The original game cost $70,000,000 to make. Therefore, that amount barely makes over 1.5% of production cost on the original game. What we would need to know is the amount that a game like Shenmue would cost nowadays, as opposed to what it originally cost.

The story-based action adventure game got somewhat popular over the last few years, and Shenmue originally sold over a million (which was impressive at the time) when that genre was unknown, so I don't actually think sales would be a really massive stumbling block.
If managed well, a project like Shenmue III could be made for a reasonable sum of money.
Remaking Shenmue without adding anything new (outside improved controls) wouldn't be a horribly costly or an ambitious task for a professional team these days either. I mean, the game world essentially boils down to five maps (four if you don't include Hazuki dojo), and I don't suspect the programming of the AI would be terribly difficult either.
