Relax! Yu Suzuki still with Sega
Posted by Nathan. Filed under Japan, Nathan, News. Tagged with Praise Jesus, Shenmue, Yu Suzuki.
After telling Gamasutra on Monday that legendary game creator Yu Suzuki was no longer at Sega, Simon Jeffery released a statement today correcting his error, much to the relief of the three diehard Sega fans left.
“I can safely say that Yu Suzuki is in fact still a Sega employee,” said Jeffrey in a corrective statement made to Gamasutra today, adding that Suzuki “…is a Creative Officer of Sega Corp.”
So there you have it. Ol’ Yu is still an employee of Sega, doing who knows what with his time, because they sure as heck aren’t letting him make Shenmue 3.

I know when Shenmue 3 is coming out! September 9, 2009! Yu Suzuki has been developing this game with a collection of 1,000 slave laborers in China! It’s going to be on the next Sega system to be released on the same day! Sweet…

I’ve had enough of this Bastards shitty comments, HIdeki Sato made the biggest mistake of making Hajime Satomi as Sega Japan’s president however hiring Simon Jeffery is an utter waste.
I hated the entire Gamesutra interview and he should be fired.

Simon Jeffry should reaaaally learn to shut the fuck up sometimes. He’s been in numerous interviews and ballsed up most of them by either insulting the fanbase, giving out false information or completely contradicting himself within the same interview.
Guy’s a plank.
