#1 “Old Dogs, New Gimmicks”

E3 2015 has closed its doors and we now have a metric ton of hype over new games announced in those few magical days. Nothing was more surprising than Yu Suzuki getting on stage at the Sony press conference and announcing his plans for a Shenmue 3 Kickstarter –after more than a decade of waiting! Super fans have finally gotten their wish, but we are left to wonder: will a Shenmue be ruined by modern gaming gimmcks?

Although the comic above may not be completely accurate since Shenmue 3 won’t be coming out on Xbox One, it shows how disappointing modern gaming culture is compared to the days of VMU’s and Tube TVs. I’m still looking forward to Game Trailers’ full play through of Shenmue 3 when it comes out, though… presumably sometime in early 2019.

Did you enjoy my first comic? How do you feel about this game coming out? Thanks, and please share this comic with your friends!
