The proportions of the new Shenhua are just wrong. The hat, the hair, the 'full moon' face. Am I alone in thinking the top Shenhua is much prettier? The new Shenhua model is a giant leap forward from where we've come, perhaps only second in quality to the Shenmue Online model. https://i.imgur.com/c...

Yu Suzuki emphasizes the "humidity" word to define Shenmue. He actually thinks that modern technologies make possible the feel of this humidity to recreate some reality. According to him, being only realistic is not interesting because realism is not an end in itself. The Suzuki's intentio...

I don't get why they went with the cartoon-like approach with Shenmue 3's graphics. I much prefer the old Shenmue 1 and 2's realistic graphics. I'm not sure if it's to cut cost, but Shenmue 3 doesn't look anything like previous games. Any thoughts? The look of Shenmue 3 has nothing to do with its c...

It appears that Lakshya Digital has a local Tokyo office. This should help the development of Shenmue run more seamlessly.

Also, it's spelled Lakshya.

Thanks for the correction!

26 Persons - Lakysha Digital Lakshya Digital also has at least two other offices... near Seattle and San Diego, IIRC. They also work on multiple projects at once. So it's hard to say where the Shenmue work is being done or by how many. At a minimum, at least 26 individuals from Lakysha are contribu...

45 Persons - YS Net 53 Persons - Neilo Do you think some of that could just be overlap? THQ may have included staff contracted from Neilo into the YS Net numbers. I always had the assumption that YsNet was fairly small and had none of their own development staff, but contracted out Neilo to do actu...

The updated Shenhua model has really nailed the aesthetic that is Shenmue. Ryo still requires a touch of refinement, however this will come before release.

In reference to the logo on page 6 of the comments, I'm hoping for the return of the original logo. I still really don't like the Yu Suzuki drawn logo. Nice to see everybody is so positive. I saw the IGN video and they said it will be delayed as a negative. IGN paints every delay as a negative. It ...

One more point I'd like to make regarding team size. The upcoming action-adventure game Days Gone has been in development by a team of only 50 staff. It is only in the past 18 months that additional resources have been added to the game which had then brought the total number of staff to 100, still ...

Something I found in an ERA thread relating to the THQ Nordic stuff coming out. https://abload.de/img/screenshot-2018-5-17tn4pa3.png 45 devs at Ys Net. I guess that's Ys Net alone, rather than including partner studios. ----------- Separate to this, the reason why the models might not always look t...
