Hmmm! Based off of the poorly translated Google translate of the interview page, the interviewer notes that the press trailer was two and a half minutes whereas the public teaser video is only about one and a half minutes...

Make no mistake - I'm head over heels in joy over all the new reveals. But, yeah - I'm definitely looking for the time when they get functioning facial emotions working. Right now Ryo may look pretty much like the Ryo we all know and love - but man, with that stock facial animation he has right now ...

Ha ha - yeah, I wasn't going to say it myself but you hit the nail on the head. If they do do a Guilin long-walk revisit, us original fans will be worse hit because we'll keep comparing the original to the new. Shenhua's outfit is already an apparent retcon. Don't get me wrong folks. My official opi...

The Guilin chapter re-visit may make sense for a number of reasons: - introduce brand new audiences to who Shenhua is - introduce why Ryo is in the area in the first place - good tutorial to QTEs with the various 'jump over tree trunks' and 'jump over rocks in stream' events On the other hand, while...

What with the goat (as posted above) and the inclusion of things like the jumping-over-rocks-in-the-stream-QTE and the detailed revisit of the cave interior makes me think Shenmue 3 will actually include and begin with Ryo stepping of the boat into Guilin for the first time and that the beginning of...

And yet, this is precisely why this predicament in the seeming difference in support for Suzuki and Kojima raises my eyebrows. The point - hopefully - is not for any of us to resort to comparing who, between Suzuki and Kojima, has been and/or is the more prolific, active, or successful game creator....

All very valid points from everyone. I suppose it is simply purely an issue in which Kojima's continued cache wins out in the end. We fans and Mr. Suzuki are grateful to Sony for their assistance in bringing major industry wide attention back to the Shenmue series - and the last thing Suzuki and Ysn...

Been hiding out ever since Shenmue 3 was officially announced 366 days ago to the day. Since the game is actually reality now, I've had little else to say other than to wait patiently and respectfully for Mr. Suzuki and his team to do what they need to do to make Shenmue 3 as great as it can be give...

Yes - this is the problem with both Kickstarter projects and the fact that Shenmue 3 hasn't even truly entered production yet: that essentially Mr. Suzuki can't really 100% confirm anything about the final game yet, and that most conventionally funded games wouldn't even be at liberty to discuss suc...

Mr.Yoshimoto really does a fantastic job in highlighting what must be the most powerful emotion that is driving the Shenmue revival right now for everyone, from himself, Suzuki, his staff, and all the fans: it's incredibly empowering and emotional for someone - anyone, really - to be given the oppor...

Damn it. This Joel Tess character is one thing but the much bigger issue at hand right now is something that many of us have already realized after we've had enough of our share of this court jester's antics - that the real and ongoing incompetence/inability of Awesome Japan's management of Shenmue ...

As such passionate and long suffering fans we are however, it still seems immensely painful for Suzuki to have officially quoted a large and specific number/cost - 10 million dollars - that would literally make Shenmue 3 the greatest experience it should be. Painful not because Suzuki is being greed...

Cool cool stuff. I actually really do hope that Ryo changes outfits from his now signature leather jacket and jeans to the Bajiquan/traditional kung-fu martial artist uniform discussed in the article. Although the leather jacket and jeans are legend, the story of Shenmue 3 has to evolve naturally. W...

The new theme really does sound like it would work incredibly well as Shenmue 3's opening menu screen soundtrack. It really sort of gives off that "retelling of a centuries old legendary saga forevermore" kinda vibe: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qd4MyNqI0fo It's things like this, memories...

Y'know, I never truly thought that our hobbyist-fan passion for this one game series would end up becoming such a storied and enduring pillar/era, really, in all our lives. It only took us 14 years to get here. Are you all ready and willing to share and embark on the very begining of an entirely new...
