Before I press F what happened?

Yu Suzuki had signed a publishing deal with deep silver which is owned by Koch. THQ Nordic just brought Koch out and now they're cancelling shenmue 3

Nordic bought out Deep Silver, the publishers of Shenmue.
If the contracts that Deep Silver made don't transfer over, it means that Nordic has no obligation to publish Shenmue 3, meaning it's dead.
It all hinges on whether or not Nordic also picked up Deep Silver's existing deals.

>Sega picks up the tab again
>Shenmue 3 is released
>Sega dies again
We have come full cycle

fucking KEK

Isn't the game supposed to come out this year? Why would Nordic not pick it up after they already did 2+ years of work on it?

you have source that they're actually cancelling it?

>tfw I put $300 into this.

>Why would Nordic not pick it up after they already did 2+ years of work on it?
They have no reason to, they will publish the likes of spellforce and the guild ffs
they dont care if it has flash, just if it has some kind of name

Yeah source is my buddy who works there he said it doesn't fit with their portfolio and said thq Nordic doesn't like zipperheads

Sony abandoned it because they weren't really interested in the game in the first place, they just needed to show off the kickstarter at their E3 in order to win the hype war. Shit the game's not even coming to PS4

I JUST WANT TO FUCKING ICE LAN DI ALREADY

I'm gonna need actual source saying it's cancelled. if so, holy fuck F

>you will literally never ever get your revenge on lan di

How does this make you guys feel? He is a villain that actually won.

Eh, Ryo would let him live after defeating him anyway.
Then Lan Di would fall off a cliff or something.

Ha ha ha ha. It'll never happen in our lifetimes.

I've been looking for this image for years. Thanks

Fake and gay

Haha you'll see champ

Nordic isn't going to shoot itself in the leg with the PR disaster of cancelling a long anticipated cult sequel

...

Since Deep Silver isn't being dissolved any prior existing contracts will be grandfathered in as part of the deal. It's almost like you don't know how contracts work or something.

Wait for the news in the next few days friend. I'm sorry to say but the dream is officially dead. I have my sources. Protip: contact Nocon kid

Contracts can and have been absolved after buyouts

Nordic Games / THQ Nordic is a new company that came out of nowhere in 2011 and has been buying up tons of valuable IPs with the objective of making future installments at lower cost. I am willing to bet they will not cancel Shenmue 3 at all and will follow through with its distribution. It goes right along with the founder's business philosophy, especially if most of its development money has already been spent

No they don't, otherwise you could ignore all debts a company you buy has while still running the business without any restructuring of the company, since debts are contracts. If you could then every company would just 'buy out' themselves and never have a debt.

Another protip: deep silver/Ysnet does not own the shenmue IP. Sega does.

Maybe Nintendo will pull a Bayonetta 2 again and swoop in to save the game in exchange for exclusivity. Much keks will be had if we get Shenmue only for the Switch.

fuck off you retared nintendicksucker. holy shit you are stuid jesus fuck
