I'm very pleased with the progress of the game so far and i can honestly say it has exceeded by expectations in many areas. Its a 'warts and all' kind of a trailer that accurately represents the current 'early' state of the game. The game still has well over a year of development time left, and I'm ...

the Kiske render is best so far.

the ultimate test is seeing it in motion during the game. thats the proper overall context to assess.

I have done a few very very minor change to the new model. (the face is more thin and long now, jaw shape is slightly softer and eyes smaller but you need to compare them to really see a difference) http://i.imgur.com/CAvBSZ3.jpg Maybe I'm getting used to this new Ryo, but I find it very good and d...

Sprint should L2 like in 1 IMO. -they can include an option for switching trigger functions (like originals) 360 3d movement can look very good, as shown in the video I submitted. i believe that the full back profile view is very important for the feeling of immersion that is why I suggested an alt...

I recently found this very impressive demo of Longmire Locomotion's Advanced Locomotion System V1 for Unreal4 . With some minor adjustments I feel it would perfect for Shenmue 3 imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN8iabNjuoA Briefly my idea of Shenmue 3 movement would be as follows: Full 360 3d mo...

-option to travel freely back and forth between the towns and other areas of the game. - real time (5-10min) horse riding journey between Bailu village and choubu (with option to skip) option for either 'on-rails' or free movement while on the horse. shenhua rides along with you, in-depth conversion...

how would you feel if the supernatural events (resurrections, hadoukens, possessions by supernatural entities) only took place in the last few hours of the final game, with everything before it remaining pretty grounded?

The first night you sleep in Xiuying's apartment, there is a scene when Ryo looks rather longingly towards Xiuying as she sleeps. It is a very well done scene that effectively yet subtly conveys the sexual tension imo.

A little off-topic, but given that this concerns Ryo and women, I felt it best to ask here: Where is it mentioned Ryo isn't up to pursuing romance due to getting into a fight with someone who mocked him contemplating the idea back when he was a child? its in the official bio for little Ryo: http://...

If at the end of Ryo's journey you have the option to choose which love interest Ryo returns to, who would it be?

I love all the Shenmue girls, but Xiuying is my favourite.

This new joint exploration mode with Shenhua will probably mean she will be judging all the interactions you have with the other NPCs. Joint interactions and conversations involving Shenhua sounds interesting, but constantly worrying about doing or saying the wrong thing might be stressful. I cant i...

I wonder if Iwao's trip to china to practice martial arts coincided with Zhu's own trip there to research martial art styles and lineages, the results of which he would eventually record in Wulinshu. Zhu is apparently an enthusiastic scholar of the martial arts, although we never find out whether or...

So do you think there will be an event in the game where the Chiyou monster is actually resurrected?

@Esppiral
are you any closer to finding out how to prevent the HUD from stretching?

this video compares the detail of the original dead rising game and its latest entry Dead Rising 4. although not directly Shenmue related, the level of detail and polish of the original Dead rising game really reminded me of detail in the Shenmue games. things like the perfect mirror reflections and...
