If anyone asks if you're okay... Just say:

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but wasn't Sony originally the Publisher of the PS4 version?

Does the Deep Silver deal put an end to the Slacker Backer campaign in the near future?

Maybe Deep Silver are taking over publishing duties in Europe and America, with Sony focusing on Japan? I'm hopeful we'll find out more at Gamecom regarding Deep Silver's involvement.

As for the Slacker Backer... I'd like to think that with Deep Silver entering the fray that the game will be fully funded, giving Suzuki-san what he requires to make it "the full on Shenmue experience"...

To me, the publisher doesn't make the game but simply ensures that it gets out to the public.

Well it depends.

I'm assuming you don't know about the whole Dead Island 2 fiasco?
Deep Silver weren't happy with how the game was turning out, so removed it from the-then developer due to "creative differences" and handed it off to Sumo Digital, who are now working on it.
I'm not saying this will happen with Shenmue 3, but at this point we don't know what sort of clout Deep Silver hold.
This is why I have a bad taste in my mouth them teaming with Deep Silver inparticular. Their track record isn't brilliant, despite releasing some pretty cool games to the west.

Deep down I know Yu Suzuki wouldn't have made the deal if he felt any sort of creative power would have been taken away from him, but I don't think that means Deep Silver won't hold any sort of influence in some respect if they've put money into the pot.

I don't know, I just feel uneasy with the deal. I'd prefer to know why Sony aren't publishing, as originally intended, if I'm honest.

I can understand the passion.

But you should also understand that this is Yu Suzuki's vision and no-one else's.
Trust the guy in his moment of need.

I have to ask, did people get so worked up like this when they saw work-in-progress images of Shenmue & Shenmue 2 back in the day?
And yet, everything turned out just fine, didn't it?

I think a lot of over-reacting is going on in this thread.

Everything will be fine. Character models are worked on right up until release, even though yes, these models are in a press release.

Peter said it best - we actually have a Shenmue 3 .

So just calm your panties everyone 8)

Nice spot, Spags!

And thus, the overwhelming tears of joyness... begins!

It could very well be a Deep Silver decision.

This is one of the reasons why I wasn't happy with the partnership with them inparticular.

The animations are pretty poor. A stark contrast to to the environments. Both the fighting and facial animations seem worse than Shenmue 1 and 2. Will this have plenty of time to be worked on or are they supposed to be more developed at this stage?

There's still a full 12 months of development left to go, at the very least.
Don't worry about it. This is work in progress material.

I haven't shook this much from adrenaline since Shenmue 3 was first announced!

The game is atleast 12 months from release and it looks so cinematic already.

I aren't going to be able to sleep at all tonight.

I fucking love you, Yu-san!

Kotaku with the first dagger. Prepare for a lot of this. I truly feel bad for Yu Suzuki, but I think he'll pull it off in the end.

Kotaku can never be taken seriously, especially when the writer of that "article" posts on his Twitter that "Shenmue fans are people who just haven't played Yakuza yet."

Sites like that are pure click-bait and should be avoided like the plague.

Quite why they let a biased writer post about Shenmue 3 would normally be a headscratcher but as I said... it's Kotaku.

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the long wait, but the newest progress video is here! Please see how Shenmue III is coming along with a born again Ryo and Shenhua, plus new stages!

https://youtu.be/-4bZ3eYE3BI

Yu Suzuki on the title logo

"I really wanted to bring home the Shenmue logo because this belongs to all of you, and I know how passionate everyone feels about it. As the result, I felt the design should come more from the heart. So, with more than a bit of trepidation, I took brush to hand. I believe we have reached a design that will please, but let me know what you think!"

Yu-san is now in Germany attending gamescom 2017. We will have an activity report once he gets back, so please keep it here!

Thank you for your support!

I really want they downplay a lot the flying laser sword. Yes!! Please play it off as a hallucination or something.

This again... :roll:

Anyone who wants the magical elements of Shenmue "played off" will find themselves sorely disappointed.

It's no secret that the franchise had it from as early on as the Saturn era.

Executive producer of Shenmue III: However, this time we weren’t able to make it on time for the video. While the video we presented this time was meant to be a promotion for us, I believe that it was a little premature. Since starting the project in 2015, we haven’t released that many videos. Since we signed a publishing contract with Deep Silver, a part of us felt the need to announce “We’re continuing the project’s development under a new establishment. Please rest assured,” and we felt that it would be wrong to not have any kind of video, so we decided to release one this time around. It might sound like a bit of an excuse, but even though there are some parts that we feel is lacking or some parts that we’re not satisfied with, we decided to go ahead with it because we didn’t want to not have anything to show for it.”

I really feel sorry for them.

Exciting to get confirmation that this is older footage. That makes me hopeful that we'll get to see new and improved footage in the near future.

Didn't see any confirmation in there that it's older footage. His implication seems to be that they put this together for Gamescom, following the DS contract signing.

Peter confirmed he saw "90%" of the Gamescom footage last year at the backer dinner.

I'm fine with DLC. Micro-transactions I am not.

Dojo contributor Switch has translated three new interviews with Shenmue director Yu Suzuki from this years Gamescom. Executive producer Hideaki Morishita also makes an appearance to discuss certain aspects of the development process.

These interviews include (but are not limited to) the latest information on character models, gameplay duration and scope.

GAME Watch Interview | GAME*Spark Interview | Dengeki Online Interview | Shenmue 3 Teaser

After all this time, the fact that people are still able to find new stuff... it's phenomenal. It just goes to show the level of detail in the Shenmue franchise is and always has been outstanding.

I'm not sure which part of "temporary" some of you just aren't understanding.

You're acting like these models are all final - they aren't, as Yu-san himself has already stated.

I don't care what they call it. It is what they are choosing to show us, and I am gonna call it out for what it is. I really hope they make the models better, but as it is right now, I think they are terrible for this day and age.

The fact of the matter is they are temporary, so it doesn't matter what they look like right now. On top of that, this isn't an AAA game. I think it's shaping up pretty well for a game on a much lower budget - and one that is being developed by an indie team.

Personally I think a lot of people are losing sight of what's really important here: the fact we are even getting a Shenmue 3 is above all, the most important thing.

"It's what they chose to show us..." No, it's what they felt they HAD to show us

=D>

UE is a fantastic engine, if you just look at the amount of different games that have been built using it, it's just crazy.

Yu-san decided to use UE4 because he felt that it would give him the right atmosphere that he wants for Shenmue 3.

And he's already stated that the world of Shenmue would be much bigger than he originally anticipated just by using UE4.

He's very happy with it and that's all I needed to hear.

it is without question that the FPS genre triumphs with this sort of engine howver, take a look it is very well suited towards these games; Gears of War, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament 3. All perform very well as FPS games on this engine.

Just a little thing, but Gears of War is not a FPS, it's a third person shooter.

It seems that the partnership with Deep Silver has infact given Yu-san the funds he requires to make "the full on Shenmue experience" that we have all been craving.

We all assumed this but it now looks like it has been confirmed by Yu himself in an interview with Metro.

http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/28/shenmue-iii-yu-suzuki-interview-dont-worry-i-can-make-the-whole-game-you-imagined-6885083/

Even after we completed the Kickstarter project I have been looking for other partners to join us and as you know we have now partnered with Deep Silver. So I’m now comfortable in saying, ‘Don’t worry, I can make the whole game you imagined!’.

Really, you shouldn't need a "work in progress" plastered on it to realise that the teaser showed the game in a no-where near finished state.

Lol, thanks for stating that before the cavalry arrive

It couldn't possibly be because they are working all hours God sends

KidMarine wrote:Yu looks very happy in the other photo he took as well.

I'll try to pick up a copy of the Playstation Official Magazine UK over the next few days and post the article/interview.

It's just a test video showing off some work in progress facial animations. Why are people crying about this? It is in no way, shape or form indicative of the final product so why are some idiots treating it like that? Damn, gamers are a freaking whiny bunch.
Technophilz decided the game is shit the day after the Kickstarter ended and just wants to spread misery on the forum. I don't have a problem with criticism...I think I'm one of the more critical people on the forum, but he seems to thrive on bashing the game and Yu Suzuki.

He shows up whenever a new update drops and lets rip, then clears off until the next one arrives. Rinse and repeat.
I don't think I ever remember him posting anything positive to balance things out.

Here is the 2 page article from November's issue of Playstation Official Magazine UK.

New character is cute!

But already seen some bad mouthing on the KS page about outsourcing to India. As long as they get the character models on point, who cares?

Too many people elsewhere are complaining because they think the team is behind schedule.

These people are quick to forget the days when we didn't even have a Shenmue 3 to look forward to.
Who wants a rushed Shenmue 3 anyway? I certainly don't.

Spare a thought for the mods who will have the story ruined for them while having to delete or correctly tag spoilers

If a Dreamcast Mini came out I would buy one straight away. Here is my list of games I'd like to see.

Shenmue 1+2
Jet Set Radio
Crazy Taxi
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
Sonic Adventure 1+2
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Space Channel 5
Skies of Arcadia
Soul Caliber 2
Super Monkey Ball
Chu Chu Rocket
Grandia 2

Panzer Dragoon Saga was a Saturn game.

Nope. Both are treading on very thin ice though.

Have a 7 day time out. When you come back, try to be less annoying.

Waiting for YSNet to take legal action on this guy.

Sega Europe have posted a poll on their official Twitter asking fans to name their favourite console and video game.

Please take this opportunity to vote for Shenmue while reminding them of the importance of releasing HD versions of both titles before Shenmue 3 arrives later this year.

Visit this link to vote and remember to use the #SaveShenmueHD hashtag in any tweet you make!

Why have I been banned? I thought it was a 7 day suspension?
You will forever be banned, you are not welcome here. No matter how many accounts you make because all you do is annoy others with your trolling and pestering others on Twitter.

According to the IP checks, you and Shenmue_Legend are one and the same.

I haven't got time for your split personality, so do one.

I'm assuming this is some sort of project you are working on? So I think this would fit in Community Projects better.

Hopefully someone can help you find what you need!

I believe Yu has always said he'll hold a firm hand with publishers prior to signing any deal, especially where full creative control is concerned. I cannot see the Deep Silver agreement causing any major issues.

Community member ShenSun has released the latest instalment in his Shenmue Gaiden series, titled "A Christmas Tale".

Though a slightly belated release, ShenSun made it clear he wished this to be delivered before the 2018 Christmas period.

"A Christmas Tale" is a lighthearted, click & point adventure game set in the Shenmue universe, featuring many memorable characters and environments.

For more information, including plot synopsis and how to download & install, please visit the dedicated forum thread here .

Gosh...just watched again the extended cut. In that Title Champ minigame Ryo looks to be throwing random punchs to the air. Just look and compare to Shenmue 1:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3nCOLrzKAg

Yep - I noticed that, too. Those punches get nowhere near the punch pads on the Title QTE machine!

I think you guys need to relax. Everything we've seen is unfinished.

I can understand why they are hesitant to show anything as work in progress, they just get torn a new one for it whenever they do.

The reason Shenmue 3 isn't on Xbox is simply because Microsoft showed little to no interest in having it. Infact, Yu mentioned at one point he tried to strike a deal a few times with them over the years but nothing ever came of it. It not being on the Xbox platform lies solely in the hands of Microsoft. Shenmue 2 wasn't a great seller for them so from that point, it's understandable. They are also focusing more on first party titles from what Phil Spencer said back in 2015 in an interview post-E3.

It was really Sony and their Third Party Productions team (Gio Corsi et al) who we all have to thank for getting Shenmue 3 off the ground. It makes sense it would be PS4 exclusive for this reason.

Yama. What can I say? It was a hard pill to swallow learning that you were stepping down. But when I heard it was Peter who would be taking over, all of that worry disappeared.

I've never met two more wonderfully thoughtful, trusting and warm hearted people.

When Yama gave me newsposter & moderator status's here at the Dojo, I was intent on reciprocating that trust while being a part of something very special.

Now with Peter at the healm, we're about to usher in another era of great times.

To both Yama and Peter - thank you for everything past and everything to come!

Steal? He doesn't play other videogames for starters.

Yu-san has always been an innovator. You only have to look at his past works.
