Every November 2019 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation
2. Shenmue 3
Release Dates: Nov 19th
Platforms: PC, PS4
Shenmue is perhaps the ultimate cult video game success story.
The original Shenmue released on the Sega Dreamcast, a sinking ship of a console. It broke ground in creating an ambitious completely inhabited world, filled with menial tasks, hobbies and an appealing plotline centred around protagonist Ryo's investigation of his father's death.
Despite massive critical accolades and plans for an epic spanning saga, after two instalments, the franchise went under with the Sega console it was linked to.
Now, nineteen after its last entry, Shenmue is finally coming back to clamouring fans. With a wait that long, and a game generation that has picked up and surpassed the ambition of the originals (aka the Yakuza series) - this third instalment has an impossible task to live up to.
Regardless, it will be fun to see it at least try...
