Sega's keep giving little teasers saying Shenmue 3's not completely out the question, and as much as i'd love to see it the game does have limited appeal now, and i don't think Sega's got the money to make a $100m+ gamble like that, i mean Shenmue was used to help shift Dreamcasts like Mario, Gran Turismo and Halo are used now, so i think we should leave our dreams back before they were cast.
