Until now it was a pipe dream, but for Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, AM2 and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are making a collaboration.
Team AM2 shrinked a lot in the last decade, and some of its people are now working for Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, as it shows with VF5 Ultimate, as it's clearly developed by the Yakuza team (same engine, same artistic design).
But this open now new possibilities, a collaboration between the two is possible (even if the majority of manpower come from Yakuza studio), so what about other AM2 IPs?
And Shenmue 4.
Nowe there is a real chance to have a Shenmue 4 made by Am2 and RGG (and I hope YSNet, otherwise it's not Shenmue), to share the same Yakuza engine, and finally have the Virtua Fighter engine (maybe updated to the latest Ultimate Showdown) back for battles.
What do you think?
