I absolutely enjoyed the new pieces. I do not see any reasons for worry - as far as I know, the game has been in development for 2 years (Yu said he only managed to gather a team by the end of 2015). Shenmue is an indie project in budget, but not in scale, and it should take this long at least. Addi...

We obviously have a lot of expectations for the game, and consciously or not, have already conjured up an image of everything the game should be - from the way the characters should look to the kind of music that should play. Now, facing the reality of life that nothing will ever be as we imagine it...

Man, I am in the mood for some new screenshots. I've been patient all this time, but now I am starting to feel a good kind of excitement. I am ready for anything - Shenmue 3 can be terrible, lambasted by critics, hated by other gamers, I will be happy just for the fact it exists. It feels like a tri...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but monthly updates were never a promise but more a goal or target. Nobody's being deceived here. I don't remember, either. Even if it wasn't, they could have given us some kind of head up after sticking to the schedule for so long. That is, if they cared and stayed up to d...

These are the dangers there. Sure, big companies can hunt down bad PR and shut such articles down if they present untrue or misinterpreted facts to defame the project. Sure, the Yu team probably have no resources for that (the fairly unprofessional Awesome Japan probably being the only "English...

The only thing I don't like is that when a promise is broken, you have to come out and acknowledge it and maybe explain why you did what you did. I've lived and worked in Japan for almost a decade now, and unfortunately this kind of behavour is really a norm. If there is something negative to report...

1 hour to midnight here in Japan. I think we will see nothing in this month's update.

Well I know that I won't be playing it and I will also not watch any videos of people playing it either. I want it to be a surprise when I finally get my hands on the full version. Can't you just play the demo, enjoy the surprise it brings with it, and then play the rest of the game and enjoy it ju...

I believe the demo was intended as a way to collect feedback and make the game better at first, but something is telling me Yu has it all under control and we are more likely to see a proper demo for PR purposes closer to the release date.

Hype damages brain cells. It's official. It's true.

My hype is in hibernation mode. I just check it for vital signs every end of a month. =)

Even big games get shown less than a year before the actual release (see battlefield), and that is assuming there will be no unexpected delays. Sure, it's a kickstarter project, but they've already had their share of shitty media coverage due to unfinished builds, so it makes they will show it when ...

Remember remember the 3d of December, the day your dreams were crushed. -)
