How crazy it is that we are finally seeing banners and promo stuff for a game that a lot of thought would never exist!?! The fact that Yu is standing next to a Shenmue 3 banner (alongside a banner for a well known publisher) absolutely blows my mind! 16 years and over half my life in the making and I could not be happier!

(someone steal me that banner when the conference is over please)

It's happening. It's really actually seriously happening.

People on the Internet? Not complaining?!

I'm excited guys, can't wait to see new videos !

I don't post too much in this forum but I follow you guys every day, I'm happy to share the same passion with you, Shenmue is more than a videogame to me, it is a piece of art!

is there room for me aboard the hype train??

little OT: am I the only italian Shenmue fan around here? :rotflmao:

How much a different angle and different looking direction can improve it, is incredible. But of course since it's very reminiscent of the Shenmue cover it of course instantly boosts the familiarity. Still confused about the logo...

Anyways, the engines are definately revving up now!

Haha love that quote and glad you are happy SheepheadCG.

I'm happy as hell! The day I thought would never come it's here!

I like the new Ryo, I'm sure it'll be amazing in movement. Can't wait!

They nailed Ryo's facial features in that picture. Great work! =D>

Now please change the logo back to the June version.

Sorry to break the hysteria channel but I'm still finding Ryo ugly as hell. Not a complain, only my very honest observation.

Excited for everything else. My brain and my heart are 100% focused on Shenmue since yesterday.

Yu my body is yours!

Ryo's looking great! He looks like the original model just updated.

Agreed. The guy just looks so worn out whenever I see him.

Do you think? I always think he comes across as quite a chilled out character. Takes everything in his stride. Don't forget, he's not getting any younger as well.

He just looks more tired than say, back in 2015 when Shenmue 3 was finally announced - and naturally so. He's a busy guy.
All I meant by that comment was that it's nice to see him get some time to himself, he certainly deserves it.

Hardly surprising. You're just the kinda person who'll never be pleased.

Don't worry, you couldn't possibly break it.

Fair assumption but you would be surprised by the person behind the pseudonym.

What exactly do you not like about that modell? Is it the coloring? The face proportions look perfect, so it can't be that.

I agree the jacket and the hair need some work, but the facial features look absolutely great.

In a game like Shenmue, stare makes 80% of a character identity. So I would respond the eyes. They looks too manga for me and that destroys everything the character he was.

The proportion head/body seems not ideal as well but I'm still not sure.

But if I have to admit a point, we're closer to something very solid indeed.

Ryo looks good in that banner. tbh, not even Ryo in Shenmue Online's trailer looked like "classic Ryo", but it did look right when in motion, when "acting" as Ryo. I think it may be the same with this new model, we'll see if it fits once we'll see him in the next video.

Too bad for the new logo, though. I think it just looks unoriginal, using kanji-like characters like any other logo do.

For some reason, when I saw Suzuki standing next to the banner, I thought he was going to say "How about a game of lucky hit?"
