In the most vital piece of gaming news so far this year, fans have been assured that Ryo will be able to drive a forklift in Shenmue III.
Sony will let you change your PSN ID from tomorrow – but there could be complications
If theres only one thing you know about Shenmue its probably the fact that one of its most famous action set pieces is a forklift truck race.
It is just about as exciting as it sounds, but then Shenmue is a game of simple pleasures and even the most ardent fans enjoy the absurdity of it all in at least a partially ironic manner.
Although the whole situation gains an extra layer of irony when you realise that Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki was previously responsible for classic racers such as Super Hang-On and OutRun.
Technically its not clear whether theres actual racing in Shenmue III, but the image above clearly shows Ryo behind the wheel of a forklift – so itd be very strange if it didnt try to replicate the race from the first game.

Its certainly already known that Ryo can get a range of part-time jobs in Shenmue III and while forklifts werent in the second game there were plenty of other mundane jobs, such as… moving boxes around by hand via a magnificently dull QTE sequence.
