Honestly, I prefer more stylized video games over hyper realistic ones. You can get away with more expression and character. Shenmue straddles this a bit, and I honestly wish the game looked more like the concept art sometimes....but yeah.I'm okay with the more cartoony look it has going currently. ...

Everything looks pretty good.

Ryo's facial proportions still look odd to me.

My favorite artistic interpretation of him recently was in that crossover game. Thought it hit the right notes.
But again, shits still in development so I shall wait.

Looks amazing. I think i'm in the minority though in that the faces need some work. Ryos face in particular looks a bit odd.

Anybody else notice the moon is skewed in the direction of the camera? Makes it look flat. Everything else is fine though.

I highly doubt they'll recreate everything exactly as it was in the original games. It's running on a completely different game engine after all. And I'm okay with that. Ryo can have a more relaxed posture and some idle animations. So long as he remains stoic I'll be fine with some small aesthetic c...

The hell is with that set? It looks like it was designed by PeeWee Herman.

So it sounds like there's some kind of auto targeting going on with the combat.

Progress update coming next week. Testing shots coming in - Ryo is back in action!

That's great news

I'm hoping this propels the paypal support a bit.

The only one I'd be disappointed in would be Lan Di.
I thought he was the best of the bunch.

He totally rocked that menacing bad guy voice.

These were the kind of articles we needed at the beginning of the kickstarter.
Not smear campaigns.

Great job man.

Journalism isn't journalism anymore.

It's blogging with a paycheck.

That's why these people insert their crappy opinions like it's fact.

These guys have great chemistry. I'm enjoying the play through immensely.
I don't really understand why people get upset when they go on tangents about something unrelated to shenmue. It's all in good fun.

So long as there's some form of complexity I'll be okay. Not sure I'd like them to go the batman games route though. You know what I mean. Where everything is automatic. If they did do that I'd like to have two different systems. 1 for random baddies thats simple...and 1 for bosses thats more comple...

Yeah. I'd take this with a grain of salt. This kind of thing has been faked before.

*edit well apparently there's a news article on it. I'll be damned.

Kiske is right.

Resting on our laurels will get us nothing for the future. If we want this series to be the best it can be it's on us.
