Shame the faces look off, I'm still excited aswell though.

The environments look so beautiful but the characters not so much.

>>387925516
because people who saw that trailer know it is over for Shenmue.

>>387925516
So is it still the 80's, or has Ryo not aged or changed his clothes 30 years? Also, is Shenmue 2 worth playing?

dreamcast certainly has better face models.
i think the issue with shenmue 3 is either a lack of skill or maybe they legally can't use the models from the old games and are having a hard time recreating?

>>387925516
It looks like a tech demo
like all these OoT on UE4 videos

>>387929864
Production values, consistent art, skill... I can't find this in S3. That's how it look worse, despite having 10+ years of thecnoly improved.

Because I never cared about Shenmue

the only sega franchises that /v/ gives a shit about is yakuza, sonic, and although it technically isnt owned by sega miku.

I think the actual environments look good, but the character models and animation look like ass at the moment and worse then Andromeda.

I am hoping that this is just a early look and gets fixed in the final version, because that was jarring as fuck.

>>387930238
I been saying this all along. We still haven't seen any actual gameplay. Probably because there isn't any. It literally looks like generic unreal engine trash you would find on moddb. Although I've seen moddb games with more progress than this. This is never coming out. Definitely not in 2018 anyway. And even if it does come out its not going to be near the level of 1 and 2. It's a fucking fan game

>>387925516
This series look pretty neat. What's the best way to get into it and play the first 2?

it wont. people need to realize that this is a KICKSTARTER game. sony nor sega is funding a single cent of this game

No offense to Shenmue but everything it did, Yakuza refined and made better.

Why the fuck won't Oney complete his playthrough of Shenmue?

Is the Shenmue series THAT comfy?

>>387931378
Yakuza isn't as comfy.

>>387931236
>What's the best way to get into it and play the first 2?
Demul emulator, it's literally the only way.
And you better have monstrous PC because the games don't emulate well on NullDC, a way shittier but faster DC emulator.
Demul is accurate but has very high requirements, especially in GPU department because DC GPU is very hard to emulate, harder than CPU which was basically Windows-tier regular CPU.

>>387931378
shenmue has way more attention to detail than any of the yakuza games

>>387931495
>Yakuza isn't as comfy.
You never played 3 or 5.
Osaka is definition of comfy.

Will Nozomi come back?

AHAHAHAHA

>>387931378
Shenmue combat is more fun than Yakuza combat.

It's a shame Shenmue 1 didn't have a fight club mode or anything like that, Shenmue 2 was great for that.
>>387931625
Didn't she travel to Canada or some shit like that in Shenmue 1?

>>387931515
Pointless attention to detail that literally doesn't matter to most people.
I mean, dude let's waste 20 million dollars to research and replicate weather from 1986 Japan from this particular prefectory.

NOBODY, even people that live there, will appreciate that kind of autism because nobody gives that much of a fuck about what shape the clouds were in that period and how often it rained.

It's just waste of money and time.

That's why Yakuza's ideology took shit that matters (the persinent semi-open world, the shitton of side activities, literal arcades and stores with acual shit you can browse and buy etc) and threw away the stuff that was a waste of budget.

>>387931378
it's a completely different kind of game

>>387931826
why cant nobody on this board admit that they are wrong?

>>387925516
Those character models and animations look super bad.

The game that will validate my PS4 purchase.

Also, fuck /v/

>>387931501
Oh damn. No re-releases or bundles to get people into the series for the third game?

>>387931589
3's localization was butchered. Hoping for a fan patch of the Japanese version eventually.

>>387931929

>>387932045
Sega is not making the third one, so they dont care, even thought they probably would make a killin off of selling rereleases

>>387929864

>maybe they legally can't use the models from the old games and are having a hard time recreating?

Sega literally gave free rights to Suzuki to make the game, he probably just doesn't have the talent.

The idea that the Yakuza team isn't backing this pisses me off. The environments are great, the models are stiff as fuck are look like fan created models.

>>387931929
What am I supposed to be wrong about? I admitted that Shenmue has more detail, but it's POINTLESS detail that is literally waste of time and money, it's literally why Shenmue took LITERALLY 80 million fucking dollars pre-inflation (more like 120 now) to make and almost killed SEGA.
Suzuki can't manage budget for shit and he's the one with autism for unnecessary tech demo shit that doesn't belong in actual game.

>>387932158
So they are doing nothing to try to bring any new fans into the series for this then? This is exclusively for the fans that got it over 15 years ago and maintained interest since then?

>>387925516
JUST

>>387932331
the incredibly detailed environments support shenmue's slower, exploration focused gameplay. it's nothing like yakuza.

>>387932058
It wasn't. They just cut content, but the translation is fine, same TL team as Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls. We even double checked with a friend this supposed claim about racism being removed from Y3 and that was factually false, compared against Japanese dialogue it's the same, just VERY slightly less aggressive in tone in English but it's still there.
And while the cut sidemissions are a painful loss, nobody should cry over removal of the cancer that is Hostess Clubs grinding. The story important ones are still in the game too, those didn't get cut. Only the grindan side clubs got axed.

>>387932029
It's a PC game you retard

>>387932525
>the incredibly detailed environments support shenmue's slower, exploration focused gameplay
And yet Gothic 1&2 does it better than Shenmue ever could in terms of level/environment design, NPCs having daily routines and good AI and so on, pathetic.

>>387932641

just admit that you were wrong, nobody is impressed

>>387932598
Lel, you ignorant fuck

It's the original art faggots

>>387932745
I'm not wrong since I never said Shenmue didn't have attention to detail, you're the one trying sliding and implications for shit that was never there you cancerous pajeet shitstain.
Enjoy your Kikescammer game from a washed up hack that can't make good games and manage budgets while I enjoy Yakuza 0 and Kiwami for myself.

That doesn't mean anything.

>>387929864
There are ways to port the models though

I like Shenmue as well, it's just not really a game. It's a mixture of an art piece and tech demo.
Yakuza is an actual game.

>>387932331
Wasn't the budget for the games so high because they rebuilt it for the Dreamcast when they moved development from the Saturn?

>>387931790
>Didn't she travel to Canada or some shit like that in Shenmue 1?
Yeah but Suzuki said there may be an option to call Nozumi in Shenmue 3. Plus let's be honest we know she'll probably come back to Japan eventually once the overall story's over and Ryo heads back home.

>>387933386
Nah, they had the budget alloted from get go.
And they recycled pretty much everything they made on Saturn since it didn't even work on Saturn due to being too visually intensive.
That's why they switched to Dreamcast in the first place.
Watch DigitalFoundry's Retro videos on Shenmue 1 and 2 for a nice history lesson.

>>387932214
>The idea that the Yakuza team isn't backing this pisses me off

Why should they? You talk like they don't have their own problems with recent yakuza. Devs are friends you know.

>>387933270
Yakuza has more cutscenes then Shenmue, but keep trying.
Shenmue is a game, literally RPG Virtua Fighter game.

>>387931826
I sure do love when people exaggerate, not only they didn't spend 20 million on such a thing, but it was an optional feature, you would know that if you actually played the game because you only unlock that feature once you beat the game you fuckwad.

>>387928140
You will understand probably nothing if you haven't play Shenmue 1 and 2, or at least Shenmue 2 and have watched Shenmue - The Move (which is basically just the cutscenes from the first Shenmue with a bit of gameplay).
So it's pretty much fundamental.

>>387932641
>in terms of level/environment design, NPCs having daily routines and good AI and so on
So.... everything that Shenmue did?
Not only that Shenmue did it good but it was also made 3 years before Gothic was released.

>>387934524
I'm saying Gothic did it better and more extensively with story more that ins't on rails.

>the game will be disappointing
>it will end on a cliffhanger
>will sell poorly and never get a sequel
None of it matters, fuck.

>>387932914
I really like how you shit on Shenmue in every possible way, yet you don't see anything wrong with Yakuza series like for example how it's being rehashed every singe year, reusing the same city, textures and models.
Each game has worse and worse story while the games themselves don't have much more new content except for some sub stories and maybe 3 or 4 new heat moves.
Or how about Yakuza 6 being rushed pile of shit? Maybe they will fix the engine problems in Yakuza 7? Who knows... you just have to buy those games every year and hope to see that small improvement.

>>387934858
Suzuki basically already confirmed the story won't be done in S3, ergo another cliffhanger ending.
But it will be so shit and bomb so hard that you will never EVER get a resolution after this.
It's game over for the series.

>>387925516
There was a thread yesterday, I'm wondering why did they show the game when it's pretty much in a pre-alpha state and both facial expressions and body movements are rigid as fuck.

>>387934642
How it did better exactly?
Because Shenmue isn't on rails, you have many options to advance through the story plus you have few side activities that can unlock additional scenes.
I get that you dislike Shenmue for some reason but at least you should play and finish like half of the game before making such statements.

>>387934998
>both facial expressions and body movements
Facial animations literally aren't there at all.

S1 and S2 literally had Sega's TOP engineers working on them, the people that were responsible for SEGA's amazing Arcade cabinets that were ahead of time such as Daytona which had 60 FPS, 480p, detailed models and texture filtering a full decade ahead of PC let alone any other platform (and even Dreamcast wasn't powerful enough to play original Daytona 1:1).
Meanwhile S3 has a new team of literally whos.
It's literally a fangame with Suzuki just being there for moral support.

>>387935363
No...

>>387935439
They still have around 18 months until release so they will definitely tweak the models.
The real thing people should be worried about is the actual gameplay and performance on PS4 and PC, why do those normal-fags care about facial expression when the game potentially could have worse gameplay then S1 from 1999 while running at 20 fps on PS4 and being buggy unoptimized piece of shit on PC?

>>387935659
Can you give me the source on the development team?
Last I heard Ys is making S3 with old devs that worked on previous Shenmue games.

>>387931826
>the persinent semi-open world, the shitton of side activities, literal arcades and stores with acual shit you can browse and buy etc
Shenmue 1 and 2 literally has all of this and has better combat

>>387925516
The characters literally have no expressions. This wasn't ready to be shown, considering how seeing the characters as more than mannequins is very important for a story focused game like Shenmue.

>>387931157
>fangame
>made by the original creator and part of that crew

Just don't.

>>387931625
3 is just Guillin chapter. Nozomi is in Canada
Just wait forever for the never happening Umerika chapter with she getting kidnapped again. And yes, that chapter was supposef to happen since Project Berkley showed how Ryo would travel around the world, probably looking for the other mirror and the Chinese Yo Mans leaders.

Still hoping Ren will be in the Guillin chapter. Guizhang is still lost in japan with his broken leg though and having sex phone calls with Joy, the bastard.

>>387935874
One of my other concerns is how Shenmue was always tied to Virtua Fighter engine. I don't know how they can pull that off right now

>>387939257
When looking at the kickstarter goals I think they will try to remake Virtua Fighter combat engine for UE4.
Shame Sega never made VF6 with Suzuki, developing Shenmue 3 would have been easier if they already had that combat engine done.

Do we know if that HD collection rumor has any basis in reality? I would love to play all three games on my PS4 instead of hopping from DC to it.

>>387939631
>VF6

Still waiting...

>>387940772
They would have to change some shit due to legal issues with brands. Shenmue was full of that shit as you could see in the credits. Don't know if S2 will have any problem due to Xbox version exclusive in america

>>387925516
Why does it look like ass?

>>387931157
Literally looks like an unreal mod, just gonna delete this from my brain.

>>387941978

Literally just texture swaps. Hire an artist to draw up some textures of knock-off fake brands and you could do this all in 2 days.

>>387925516
>Trailer
You mean teaser?

>>387939257
This game isnt coming out. It's a piece of shit unreal mod being made by hacks. You need to face the facts. This is textbook moddb stuff. Release images of nice looking environments, couple of character model renders, no game play ever actually shown, and the project is quietly scrapped after a couple of years. There will be no Shenmue 3 in this decade. The reason nobody is talking about the Shenmue 3 trailer is that Shenmue 3 doesn't exist. There is no game, and everybody can see that. It's just an idea in some old japs head

>>387925516
>do nothing: the game
Yakuza fills this niche already.

>>387944953
You don't understand, they used technologies that they don't have the right anymore in the engine.
Sega wanted to rehash Shenmue since a decade ago but the game needs to be re build from scratch, and that means money and of course Sega wouldn't want to spend a dime even rehashing a thing like that.

>>387925516

They shouldn't have showed it yet, the internet does not care if its just a work in progress, they will shit on it and always call back to how it looked now, even if they fix it.

Look at MvC:I, even after it was fixed, before even being released, people's impression didn't change because it used to look bad at some point, and the internet is unforgiving like that.

>>387946574
Villages are comfier than cities for sure.

why would they release this trailer, don't they know that it looks bad?

This is literally like 2 years of work. All they have is a village and some gamecube player models

>>387946025

The old trailers for Shenmue 1 and 2, that were usually mixed together, barely showed any gameplay, just very few qtes with no qte screenbutton. Those trailers were basically about the npcs, the towns and cutscenes.

This is the Guillin chapter. It is just some rural place with martial arts, knowing some ancient plot stuff and some town with a gambling/richer rural area.

Environments look great. The models/animation is rough. This is alleged to be the same footage shown to big-money backers last year, so maybe not the latest progress; and a year and a half left to go and it will probably be pushed back even further.

Shenhua looks like a hapa now compared to the original models:
