In Yu we trust.
The problem with doing that, is because the game is being made with Kickstarter there's a responsibility to keep backers and fans updated through production.
Disappearing for a year and a half to make the game presentable in the traditional state would just cause more negative press. As long as emphasis is put on the video/shots being from the prototype I think the majority of people will understand that and judge accordingly, and those who don't were unlikely to be interested in Shenmue 3 anyway. Overall it's better for the games industry if consumers are given more of a peek behind the curtain to see how games are actually made. It'll definitely help keeping expectations in check.
