The little guy seems genuinely ecstatic about the whole thing, so I guess I'll take Cedric's word that this is the Shenmue 3 game we all waited for.

Just saw this also! Very hyped lol If only there was a mirror or something on the wall next to that red thing, then maybe we could at least see the screen!!!

The day the we get gameplay footage is getting closer and closer, and just even thinking about that makes me loose my shit lol!

Well, if Deep Silver is heading it up for marketing, I suppose it's possible they are now in charge of when the game gets shown(like Gamescom) and perhaps they'll being it to PSX or release a teaser around that time.

Though I highly doubt they'd show it without Yu present at PSX.

O Rei do Frango Assado wrote:Well, of course I am! The thing is, when I think about why I am excited, the only reason I can come up with is simply "Because it's fucking Shenmue 3!". Because, to be honest, we have seen so little of this game, that it might as well be a yet-to-be-unveiled game. Not only that, the little that we have seen has yet to impress me and get me hyped (pretty much all I can really say so far is that the environments are looking pretty).
So, I'm excited (how could I not be? It's Shenmue fucking 3!), but not feeling hyped, at the moment.

Also, the fact that we still haven't seen almost anything of Shenmue 3 makes me think that they're either playing their cards very close to their chest, or that a 2018 release probably won't happen. My gut feeling tells me that it's the latter. Fine by me, really. I've been waiting for more than 15 years and, just over a couple of years ago, I considered Shenmue dead and buried and my hope was zero, so... I just want a great game.

After the last update, I found myself going back to the Gamescom Teaser and I watched it probably another 10 times last week. The video is nice, and I'm pleased with what it shows, but then I went back to the 2015 announcement video and watched that again. That announcement video still makes me cry, even though I don't have a similar reaction to anything that's happened since then. I'm excited about the game, but I've very much kept my expectations in check as well. It's been almost 16 years since the first time I finished Shenmue 2 and Shenmue 3 will not replace that experience. It's going to be an entirely new game and a completely different experience, which could be as good as the previous one but I'll never be able to relive the experience of exploring a large open world based in another country for the first time. I haven't seen anything yet that makes me think it won't live up to the quality I'd expect based on the previous titles, it's only gotten better so far since the Kickstarter began which seems to only happen less than half of the time.

As far as 2018 goes, I don't think it's going to be delayed past that. Fall 2018 still seems feasible to me based on what we learned from the Gamescom interviews. We know the world was about 70% finalized at that time, we know that people who saw the extended trailer saw mini-games and other in-game stuff and we know they've been working on character models which is where I expected them to be last December before we knew about the delay. It would be really nice if they shared some of their timeline goals with us (when they hope to be doing motion capture, voice recording, etc) but at this point what we've seen so far indicates their "2nd half of 2018" estimate is still feasible. If they have not started doing motion capture by April, voiceover recording by May, and haven't figured out what or when they plan to do for the backer demo by June, then I'll be skeptical again.

I will be a bit disappointed if we don't get the demo by January.

Another year, another week of conferences with the rumor mill circulating...

I don't get my hopes up. These tweets are reassuring, but I'm really hoping to see something by years end, as they have hinted before.

Shenmue HD is the biggest elephant in the room these days. Something doesn't make nearly $7 million in funding from fans and you just sit back and ignore the previous entries. But...Sega, as we all know, gonna Sega.
