Yet another useless "update", I am not sure why the marketing team behind this project keep assuming that we live under a rock and keep giving us one uninformative update after another ... they need to know that we've been digging deep and turning every stone for anything Shenmue-related for years and years.
I have to say that I was shocked by the quality of the new three screenshots. Characters models are hugely improved and they have some decent facial expressions now, I hope they're not final though, because they still don't look as authentic as the originals, but they are nearly there and I have to give them credit for improving on them. Overall graphics are way better and much closer to current-gen standards now, the lighting in particular has also been improved and looks more realistic.
Although we don't know yet whether those shots were taken from a CG or real-time sequence, they still look vastly improved over what's shown earlier, this is the kind of material they have to present to fans and media. Still, I am kinda disappointed that we didn't get those gorgeous shots via an official KS update, that shows that the horrible marketing/communication strategy this project has had is still broken and needs to be fixed sooner than later, they also have to bring the older logo back, and I think we have to keep telling them that the new logo is bad and unacceptable.
I am excited to see what MAGIC will bring us, hopefully we'll get some decent video that could hopefully address all (or most of) the earlier concerns.
