Much like E3 earlier this year there was nothing seen or heard about Shenmue at the Tokyo Game Show. In the Developers Workshop Suzuki did discuss the following:
"Devine felt that Japanese games took more risks, a viewpoint with which Suzuki agreed, saying "we used to make games without even thinking about the market. We just tried to make games that we would enjoy." Note his use of the past tense--it seems that the shaky economy has limited Japanese developer's freedom to some extent."
Yu Suzuki's new studio name which was previously named Cinematic Online Games is now officially called DigitalRex. This new studio name also happens to have the same address the Shenmue trademark was filed under. So we can assume the Shenmue series is now under the care of Yu Suzuki and Digital Rex.

In the November issue of Edge magazine, Yu Suzuki is asked directly regarding Shenmue III. (Edge #129 pages 51-52)
"Which brings Edge onto Shenmue. It's no secret that Suzuki-san's opus was one of the most expensive videogames ever produced and despite the fact that it remains one of the most wonderful videogame experiences available it bombed at retail. Edge asks Suzuki-san a straight question: will Shenmue III ever be made? There's no firm answer. A hush descendes on the room as PR representatives shuffle in their seats. A rather embarrassed Suzuki-san shrugs his shoulders, looks down at the table and eventually says, "Not yet."
The reaction is understandable. Shenmue, and its magnificent sequel, represent the kind of epic, big budget risk that Sega cannot afford to take any more. That's not to say the game will never be made, but Suzuki-san's curt answer indicates that it won't be put into production any time soon. Edge wonders if Ryo will ever get to avenge his father's murder, or forever remain in his Guilin cave."
