WTF JOYSTIQ! You do not do that! Bad! No! You just made me gloriously happy...then you ripped my penis off, cut it in two, sawed it in half, ate it, vomited it out, ate it again, let it go through your digestive track, shit it out, blended it again, fed it to me, then attached it back. WTF!

I have some very fond memories of the first one on Dreamcast. lol, I loved working and using the forklift to gain money. It broke my heart when the game ended so fast.

The forklift was always a pain to handle though. It does give me some fond memories of the game. :)

Hmmm...maybe someone can buyout Sega and hire Yu Suzuki as a 3rd party to develop another Shenmue!!

I hope he left on his own terms/wishes...

...though this immediately halts any and all enthusiasm I had about any Yu Suzuki created & inspired games from this point forth. SEGA will most likely have Ryo Hazuki venturing to White Castle, Jacky Bryant Hair Styling, or Virtua Cop Ticket Writer games produced from this point forth. :(

On one hand, Shenmue brought us awesome storytelling and near-real-time gameplay.

On the other hand, it brought us quick time events.

All is forgiven, though, thanks to the ability to score tiny virtual plastic toys from a virtual toy dispenser!!!

The Die Hard Arcade game was rocking them before Shenmue... And that was also made by Sega. And they may not count as "QTE"s because they weren't always the same button.

I like QTE events though. When done right they keep the action moving in an entertaining way.

Virtua Cop was one of my favorite games form back in the day.

Well let's hope he starts his own company or something.

Hm. That's a shame indeed. But I don't want Shenmue Online anyway, Shenmue 3 please. But not like that'll ever happen either.

But...but...Shenmue 3?

Well, maybe he and Itagaki can get together and make a mix between DOA and Shenmue...

Sad news. If Shenmue 3 was almost impossible to happen with him in the company, now you can say it will never be released.

I bet Sega will launch a game called Shenmue 3 and all you do in it is play Lucky Hit.

That's sammys fault, those douchebags lose millions with their pachinko machines every year and when they do, they just make Sega Shut down studios and fire employees, thus affecting japan economy, making those people have to rob banks and sell their bodies for some money, with all those hookers accessible for cheap nobody would want to have sex with their girlfriends making the Japanese race extint, without the japanese most american will feel short and sad and end up killing themselfs making the world an England Empire.

and that's why Sammy is the root of all evil.

Hey guys, are you following Kotaku on this? As in, following the fact that he has not been at Sega for a while now? I don't know why 1UP and Gamasutra are running this info now, but you don't have to shovel it. Really.

Maybe no one picked up on it, but this news is a couple years old. I am pretty sure there was a Kikizo Interview about Digital Rex and Susuki.
