It'll be fine. They clearly haven't started development in earnest, extremely common in Kickstarter games where they're not sure what the response will be. There are Shenmue veterans on the team that will do everything in their power to make sure this is a Shenmue game and given how insanely positive the response has been in such a short amount of time since announcement, I'm assured that this will be the sequel we've wanted. The reaction also bodes well for the possibility of extra funding from a publisher, another common thing that happens with Kickstarter projects that are doing well.

Games take time and we're Shenmue fans, the very definition of patience. So be patient.

Looking at the screenshots of Shenmue 3, it looks terrible. It does not have any shenmue feeling to it. It just looks plain and generic. I know it's early to judge, but looking at these ingame screen shots, they look pretty bad. At least it's better than nothing.

Its going to be running on Unreal Engine 4 by the way. Pretty sure that's not "terrible" or outdated technology!!

That scene was a remake from Shenmue 2, so just by that it should be obvious that this is not at all what the game will look like considering its a Kickstarter. Dipshit.

Just what we've been waiting for. And it'll be a sidescrolling bullet hell spaceship shooter.

Wow... Way to take away the joy from this forum... If it was up to plp like this SamOnTheLam fellow, Shenmue would be just a forgotten IP by now.

I was waiting for this thread as soon as I saw the announcement trailer :lol:

Sure, the voice acting was horrible but it's way too early to judge the whole product. It rather seemed like they made whoever was nearby quickly read some lines. That, together with some "Yeah" answers pasted in.

And look at the beta versions of Shenmue I and II compared to the final product. There was also a lot of polishing there so I'm quite certain that this specific team will try to do the same again.

This is fucking Yu Suzuki we're talking about here. Look at the painstaking detail he put into Shenmue 1 and 2? You really think this is an accurate representation of the final product in the slightest? You've got to be kidding me.

It's a good point to consider the strenuous remodeling they did with Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2. I hope they put a tenth of that effort into this one because I, have to agree with the OP, that teaser was god awful. To be honest, it took a LONG time for me to bare Ryo's poorly modeled face on that kickstarter page.

Just had a quick look at the screenshots here (they're literally all I've looked at regarding this, and I really must get some work done) and thought "hey, they look pretty nice".

Am I the only one?

It's a countryside setting, which we've seen only sporadically in the Shenmue series (for like the last 10% of Shenmue 2). If we can see a town then we'll have something good to compare it against.

Not at all, I thought the scenery was a photo when I first saw it in a screenshot. That's ain't bad at all.
