RUMOR: Shenmue 3?

Of all this Shenmue talk about re-releasing Shenmue 1 and 2 on Wii I decided to do some digging. While looking through Youtube, I came across a very strange video. Could this be the canceled Shenmue 3 game from years back?

My first and very sad post by Victorprime

Today we report a tragic loss in the video game industry, long-time industry veteran Mark Haigh-Hutchinson has passed away. Haigh-Hutchinson's illustrious career spans decades. He worked on such classics as Paperboy before joining LucasArts in the late '80s, where he went on to co-develop titles like Star Wars: Dark Forces and Rebel Assault. Nintendo fans will better remember him as the project leader and contributing programmer on such N64 games as Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

The established programmer joined Retro Studios shortly after its inception and was eventually moved to the original Metroid Prime team, where he served as senior engineer and was integral in the development of the franchise's camera systems. Haigh-Hutchinson retained this position for all three critically acclaimed Prime endeavors. Haigh-Hutchinson leaves behind a wife and two daughters and his absence from the industry will be felt by those making games and those playing them alike.

We here at Knights Of Nintendo give all of our thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones. R.I.P Mark Haigh-Hutchinson
