The video. Hate to say this but that was a bit... underwhelming. I mean, I appreciate the work they put in to make this new trailer and it's very interesting. But for people not sure whether to pledge or not, it's probably not very convincing. I guess It's something they made since we fans had concerns about the Kickstarter video. It really shows that it was made quickly. For example: the music is missing the first one or two notes in the beginning, the animation of Ryo's head feels a bit unnatural (but the animation when he looks at Shenhua is pretty nice), and at 0:28 it feels unnatural when the camera stops panning. That together with the unfinished models.
Of course I'm not expecting a masterpiece! These things are to be expected. The development basically hasn't even started, and it was very rushed. But to promote the Kickstarter and get non-superfans hyped... I don't think this was the right thing. It just looks unprofessional. Just like the new project image with the "Last 2 days" in... eh.. pink, and crazy typography like some high school project. I just wish it was handled better.
Well... that was enough negativity for today. Now I'll be going back to be ecstatic that Shenmue III is happening and the Kickstarter is going into hyper mode!
