For better or for worse, numbers don't lie. If that's what a teaser can do, can you imagine a proper fully directed trailer, or even a Shenmue HD announcement trailer would get?

Shenmue is on the cusp of a full blown comeback. For the last few months of this year, I would enjoy the relation and calm. Shits gonna get real in a few months once they really ramp up the promotion.

Most viewed trailer of when? 2017? I'm seeing older ones here with views in the millions.

True, the numbers are there. A certain part of them are of course those who wanted to make fun of the non-existing facial animations. But the advantage is that many of them will also check out coming trailers. Which means many extra views for improved trailers. Genius marketing move or coincidence? :-k

After the E3 of Dreams, all eyes are on Shenmue III, arguably even more so than the Final Fantasy VII Remake, due to the unorthodox nature and circumstances surrounding its resurrection.

There's a lot of new hype behind Shenmue III and many who want to witness it crash and burn--epically.

I have faith Yu-Suzuki-sama and the development team will have an epic surprise for all.

A lot of those views come for the backlash, it's difficult to know how much a good trailer would get.

The more exposure this gets the worse it will be.

It's not like the trailer is triggering mass waves of people to throw down money for the game. It's being mocked and ridiculed and setting the game up for failure on launch. To be honest, this game has been hounded by controversy right from the start when there was confusion about Sony's exact role, the publisher was judged harshly and now the facial animations are being mocked.

The game is almost a year away from release and picked up additional funding from a publisher. Whatever gains would be seen from crowdfunding at this point would be minimal. Stop being so paranoid.

Gains dried up long ago from crowd funding. The real buzz was at the time of the Kickstarter and talk of Shenmue 3 on popular gaming websites quickly dried up after. Otherwise Yu Suzuki would not have teamed up with a publisher.

He would've still turned to a publisher in any case. The nature of their various deals would've demanded it. Regardless, we're now entering a situation where whatever ridicule there is will eventually lose steam.

The screenshots released today in the KS update are a great example. They show Yu's team are actively working on the game. They also show that the nature of its improvements is both substantive and continuous.

When we compare this to what we saw in the teaser, it further adds to the point that it showed a game that's a WIP. It also shows us that those ridiculing it are trying to grasp onto anything during SIII's dev. process that seemingly reinforces their existing bias. That's going to eventually turn off the level-headed.

Don't think so mate, people saw a lot of issues and pointed them out. It's not that they have a bias just that they didn't think it looked very good and commented on it. The first two Shenmue games weren't universally loved back in the day and was very split with those that love it it and those that didn't. With the new generation of players you're also going to get people who don't like it and those that love it. Saying they didn't like the look of the trailer doesn't make them automatically biased but just someone with an opinion, and people are going to make fun because quite honestly the faces not moving looks comical. Not everyone is a diehard Shenmue fan and to a lot of people this isn't something special but just another game.

When the game comes out it's going to be hilarious watching the review threads with people freaking out if a single outlet gives it a low score. "That website has always been shit!" "They only like shit games!" "Everyone else gave it a good score so they must be wrong!"

In fairness, I can't think of a games website that hasn't either always been shit or become shit in the last few years.
