The Shenmue series represents a milestone in the gaming industry for many fans, a point where console experiences truly took off. The first Shenmue, released in 1999 for the Sega Dreamcast, was an immersive, emotional, cinematic role-playing game that expanded the definition of an action experience and pushed existing technology to its limits. A new documentary from filmmaker Adam Sipione and Fauxpop Media, A Gamer's Journey: The Definitive History of Shenmue (https://twitter.com/shenmuedoc), dives into the franchise's history and explores the recent announcement of Shenmue 3. Series creator Yu Suzuki (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/26/shenmue-3-yu-suzuki-twitch-q-and-a/) revealedShenmue 3 and its $2 million Kickstarter (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/04/shenmue-3-physical-ps4-copy/) on-stage during Sony's E3 2015 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/15/shenmue-iii/) press conference, and nine hours later, the project had cleanly smashed that goal (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/16/shenmue-3-is-really-happening/). Check out the teaser for A Gamer's Journey, including footage direct from Sony's E3 showcase and accompanying fan reactions, below.
