Doesn't also seem productive (at least from a marketing perspective) to show such shots while the PayPal campaign is still going, they need to "convince" more people (especially those who are new to the series) to support their development, and what they've released so far isn't doing that any favours.
We have to admit that the marketing of Shenmue 3 has been a disaster so far, and they keep missing one chance after another which makes me really really depressed ...
Ok then. Let's admit they hire the best CG artist they can afford until the funding campaign ends.
They show the world a new groundbreaking level of graphics and deceive the fans in the name of "marketing perspective".
And then what? Struggle for 2 and more years on the graphics trying to deliver what they promised like it happens with other productions and forget about the other aspects of the game? (Mighty No.9 to mention one)
Again, I rather prefer to have a great story, a great gameplay and the Shenmue atmosphere instead.
