A MMORPG ?

Most likely it will get can\'ed just like so many have...

Also Nice CGI screens

When do we get to see the REAL screen shots ?

I want to kick Yu Suzuki in the balls right now.

I kinda saw magical powers coming into play in the storyline, but making the next Shenmue game a MMORPG.

Too much disappointments.
