Time and time again, people miss this basic fact: Suzuki left AM2 a long time ago whereas Shenmue stayed under the AM2 portfolio. Therefore for Kotaku to connect anything related to a Shenmue future if Suzuki were to leave Sega is missing the point.

Based on that Kotaku article, Jeffery does not say anything conclusive about whether Suzuki is at Sega or not. He does not exactly sound like he is informed about what is going on in Japan ("some online stuff in China"?!) and Kotaku has not even sought comment or clarification from anyone, so the factual headline that Suzuki has left is kind of ridiculous.

I will email someone at Sega Japan who actually knows what is going on instead of being preoccupied spunking out western developed games.

FYI I got an autoresponse that SOJ is off on vacation from Aug. 9th to 17th so I won't really get more news until then.

It sounds like bullshit though, basically. I am sure he will probably leave at some point but this doesn't sound to me like he has yet.

And frankly if he did leave, this could be a good thing for Shenmue 3's chances. Were he to set up a separate studio like Prope or Q, he could be better positioned to negotiate the rights to Shenmue 3 as an external developer and perhaps take on some risk, which has for so long been the major concern stopping it from being greenlighted for a full scale development.
