Yokosuka is overreacting towards a partly photoshopped image because Ryo's character model isn't done, and possibly neither is the location they're showing, so understandably it looks a little weird.

One screen in particular, I think, looks really cool.

Ryo looks like his passport self...Not too happy about that, but it's better than what we had.

Nice graphics though, doesn't particularly scream Shenmue to me, but it looks good.

It's a photoshop of an old render. I wouldn't take that screen too seriously.

Are you sure it's a photoshop?
Because if so, that's pure BS... They can't keep photoshoping their models 1.5 years in development.

Yes, 100% sure it's photoshopped. I can find you the render they used for the face:



It's likely done because the face isn't finished. Though I have noticed it does appear to possibly be a new body model. Ryo's limbs are less gangly.

Nope, I don't care of the Ryo's face, it's cleary a Shenmue Passeport pict roughly paste on the jpeg.

The problem is everything else. It's look like an (average) student project with no personality.

I hope they will emphasis the word "WIP" because they is really no need to show these screens. The marketing around this game is a real mystery.

Upon zooming in, I can't see the similarity between the render you posted and the new screenshot. The one in the screenshot looks like passport Ryo, for starters.

I can't believe you can look at the temple gate picture and say "that isn't Shenmue".

It is literally that render. You can even tell they've Photoshopped it on because Ryo's face is at the wrong axis to his head.

If the temple picture has a Shenmue feel, so every UE4 games with Chinese architecture and night lightning has the Shenmue feel.

I expect better than screenshots taken out from Shaolin vs Wutang.

Don't be ridiculous.

I dunno man, maybe. His eyes are looking in a different direction, that's for sure.
Regardless, I'm sick of these patchwork updates, I can't believe the character modelers spent 1.5 years working and still didn't get the main character's face done.

The Temple screenshot looks nice... The rest is weird to say the least

I'll wait to see them myself to pass judgement, but I bet the press will pick up quick as Negative Nancy they've been about the PC backer update.

Here comes the questioning by the media on whether Shenmue III is all false promises. Watch..

Seriously, when the update goes live I'll post a side by side comparison I knocked up. It's the same image but flipped.

It's not that they haven't gotten something done, but if it didn't meet standards for display, then we're not going to see it. I'd prefer they just not actually show that market screen if that was the case, but whatever.

The temple gate screen is nice, and honestly really does scream "Shenmue".

Shenmue III will be tomorrow in front of the world for sure.

It's photoshoped. 200% sure.

If the world can't see past a clearly photoshopped image to see an inspiring one like the temple gate, then that's their problem.

Sooooo...it still looks like an unreal engine game? Shame...the backer dinner made me think they had nailed the pallette and "color texture"

There are like two screenshots... One is full of blur, the other is of a temple gate, which looks like something you'd see in Shenmue, but not particularly.
