What's on TV this week: 'Shenmue III'
Nearly twenty years after the first game debuted on Dreamcast, Shenmue III will be released this week on PS4 and PC. Also, Netflix's Narcos season two spin-off game is set to appear on multiple platforms later this week. Fans of TV can pick through the flood of content arriving on Apple TV+ and Disney+ at the end of the week, or select something like a Bikram yoga documentary or Knight Before Christmas on Netflix. For movie fans, IT: Chapter Two is streaming via video on-demand, while sports fans can curl up with more college football. Let's be honest -- we're all waiting for Mandalorian episode three, right? Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
‘Shenmue 3’ is more Shenmue, for better and worse
"Is this what I wanted?" I must have asked myself this question three, four, possibly five times during my 15-minute demo of Shenmue 3. The experience, to be clear, was definitively and unashamedly Shenmue. I steered the series' protagonist, Ryo Hazuki, around a beautifully-crafted village filled with charming villagers and side-activities. I talked to people. I played a game of Lucky Hit, the notoriously tricky gambling game from Shenmue 2. I bought some colorful "gacha" toys from a capsule machine. I even practiced my martial arts at a nearby dojo. But I wasn't happy.
'Shenmue III' delayed -- again -- until November 19th
If you've been waiting patiently for the arrival of Shenmue III, you'll have to temper your excitement a little longer. The long-awaited third installment in the classic series has been delayed yet again. Ryo Hazuki is now expected to return to your screens November 19th.
