This does not look like Ryo or Shenhua.

This looks more like Ryo's plastic filipino cousin and Shenhua's plastic french auntie.

They need to just use the CG original models.

And why did they replace the original logo AGAIN ?

Stick to the originals.

Environments look good thus far, though.

I find the models very ugly from an aesthetic standpoint. Compared to the original series and compared to modern games. Im not sure why matching the passport models should be such a fantasy.

Upon closer inspection it looks that the models are based off the Passports ones....



Yet they somehow managed to make them look ugly, maybe are those dead eyes, maybe in motion they will look fine, time will tell.

The real Ryo for me, the ingame one:

Keeping characters original (asian) look with some small tweeks (nose) AND also using new 3D technologys. Looks like some other developers are able to do it... :-k
