Random Shenmue III Thoughts

[John Doom]

[...] It's not only that yakuza evolved the shenmue formula [...]

Looks like a regression to me:
-Yakuza is designed around 2 main mechanics: an RPG system (to move the player and let him make choices) and a fighting system. There are a lot of minigames, but they usually are not tied to a specific main mechanic;
-Shenmue is designed around 4 main mechanics: the FREE system (an evolution of the RPG system, used to realistically interact its world using as few GUIs and other abstractions as possible), a time system (which updates its world and events), the VF system (for the fightings) and the QTE system (for the cinematics). There are a lot of minigames too, but they feel natural extensions of the main game because they're usually designed around the FREE system, one way or another.

TL;DR: Shenmue's design is much more complex and its features are still better tied together.

Yakuza is what means to be alive, and as many in the know understand:

It's what it is !!

In yakuza you defeat people, then you blow all the maya to buy an orange, an man, you kill people with orange.

I understand that you dont understand, but understand me that you aren't what it was supposed to be or even what it is.

He's a slightly better troll wannabe than SMDZero, but he's still full of cock.

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I thought this was really obscure in terms of viewcount for how good the mocap was, so I'm posting it anyway.

AMAZING!!

I hadn't seen it! Which engine is this? Did the artist use the passport model? I love the animation!

THIS should be at least Ryo's Shenmue 3 model. If one artist can achieve something like this in 2015, I can't imagine what Suzuki could attain when Shenmue 3 is released!

I'm really impressed too! The mocap is exceptional and Ryo movements make's me feel something like... "he's alive again"!
And as you said... that's a fan made video... imagine what will we see when Yu Suzuki be ready!

The mocap is from Dead or Alive 5 (Kokoro) if I remember well.

Waiting for the obligatory picture with Yu.

It looks like the passport model with upgraded textures.
