Shenmue 3, are we ever going to see it?

I have been wanting to play Shenmue 3, ever since I finished Shenmue 2 on my Xbox, but it hasn't been released. Although the first game was a lot better I would love to finish the series out..does anyone know if there will ever be a third installment of this series, or did AM2 and sega just give up on that idea?

Yu Suzuki is supposudely currently working on Shenmue Online for Korean and Japanese audiences. The game hasn't been seen or heard of since early 2006 in the form of a trailer. Its been in developement since 2004 and at this point probably will be pointless by the time it releases.

Too bad most of Suzuki-san's projects the last few years have been so average. He had nothing to do with VF5 and it shows, its a nice game but lacks the jump in quality between 3-4. Out Run 2 is a nice arcade racer, but doesn't change the arcade like Virtua Racing or Daytona did. Psy-Phi sucked crap, and isn't even easy to find at Sega arcades in Japan.

I want to see Suzuki produce or direct Virtua Fighter or create a new arcade game. Get him off this asian only MMORPG shit. Sega=Dead to me

I just think they should have finished what they started. Shenmue online has nothing to do with the story from Shenmue 1 and 2, so that isn't the third installment...what a bunch of crap.

We've seen more than that FMV trailer.
