I have only one concern and that is
Unreal Engine 4
Why? Despite personal preferences and not remembering a one game that would impress me character-wise (they all look pretty dead in UE, except maybe a bit better in Enslaved?), I have a serious reasons to believe that it's not the best choice for the PS4 version. I played 2 games running on Unreal Engine 4 on PS4 (one of them being Daylight) and both, despite having a low level of detail ran pretty horrible, with very bad fps. I'm aware that it may be a matter of optimization, but if they have a small, unexperienced team it probably won't be that easy. Also, I suppose that they chose to use the engine for 'free', so if they make shit-ton of money, 10% is going directly to Epic. So yeah, we're probably giving our money away to them as well and this engine isn't the best choice for Shenmue, it isn't even a good one in my opinion.
