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 the...

What I wonder about the pinball is, what sort of era does it reflect? At that time, circa '87, there were some very advanced pinball machines with extremely elaborate gameplay systems. Of course, there were also decades of earlier machines, and showcasing an older type of pinball game could fit in ...

Suzuki-san says that the game starts the day after Shenmue 2 ended, or roughly 6 hours. But Shenhua is taking her father lunch at the end of Shenmue 2, not dinner, and they arrive at the cave in the morning. I certainly don't think the game implies that they spent 6 to 8 hours in that cave? Shouldn...

all over the internet people are now laughing at this. they should not have released any trailer as shit as this one. gives shenmue 3 a very bad rep. I'm sure the faces will be fixed but to people and journalists watching and rating this they think this will now turn into shit. the youtube video al...

I think the people hating on Shenmue are doing so because they're hateful. It's foolish to believe that something that's clearly a WIP is going to represent Shenmue III when released. That's why I'm sure the hate was going to be there regardless of aspects like facial animations.

Great !! So the ugly new logo is now official, things keep getting better and better with every update ... I'm not pleased with the new logo either. I don't know how this translates to the end product being crappy, though. If we exclude the character designs (which are obviously a WIP), everything,...

Ok... Just read the actual Kickstarter. Apparently the new logo was designed by Suzuki himself and if I read correctly, he painted it. This makes me kind of feel bad that I said it looks like a kid scribbled it on paper with a crayon. That said, I stand by hating the new logo. This thing with the l...

Kotaku can never be taken seriously, especially when the writer of that "article" posts on his Twitter that "Shenmue fans are people who just haven't played Yakuza yet." Shenmue, for the most part, revolves around China of the late 1980's. Yakuza is entirely based on modern-day ...

I do miss Shenhua's more realistic face from the old games a bit, if I'm honest, but I think it was always going to be hard to recreate it on modern technology. The Dreamcast had an ability to create such beautiful countenances. Or maybe it was the laborious way (sculptures and all that) that they ...

Fuck, this scene is just amazing! Beautiful and well animated, movements, even on the jacket are well done. Pretty impressive. Fuck those comments on youtube and gaf, people are toxic and stupid these days! Yes! Like Spaghetti, it's the way the choreography is that gives me confidence in the end pr...

The YT & NeoGAF comments are making me VERY emotional right now. What's happened to the gaming community I knew of 20+ years ago? Hell, you could've said it was more "kid-oriented" back then, but the toxicity today is unreal...

I LOVE the trailer. I can't believe it. It really has that "Shenmue feel." The one thing that's throwing me off is that logo. It's a real annoyance. As I've implied before, it's similar to the Yakuza logo. That, to me, invites that ridiculous comparison certain so-called fans have made. So...

As far as we know, Shenmue 3 will take place entirely in Mainland China, in the 80s. That got me thinking, I wonder how much, if at all, the game will portray some of the stuff that one would expect to see in communist China. For instance, people wearing Mao suits, which were extremely common, both...

As for the new logo... it looks horrible. Why would they announce they were using the original font for the series and then go to this abomination? It literally looks like a 5 year old scribbled it on a piece of paper with a crayon. TBH, it gives me a Yakuza-like feeling...A feeling I haven't enjoy...

Except there's literally a quote from Sony in the press release (and the game is still console exclusive to their platform), but I knew you wouldn't do much more in this thread other than do a driveby shitpost. That quote from Sony means they'll do nothing more than watching what YS Net and Deep Si...
