This is looking better and better. My hope is we get to see the game in motion soon though.

First two screenshots make me think this game is just Ryo cold heartedly beating the shit out of women and old men.

I think this is finally striking the balance between not-shitty and still-looks-like-Shenmue. I'll take it, even though the likelihood of bullshot (so long as we don't get to see any motion/animation) keeps me reluctant.

Shenmue, 3 screenshots

Ryo's deadpan (and the muscle dude's) are presumably pre-facial animation, so ... we'll see.

I hear you, but I'd just like to point out that we've seen no indication that there's enough of a marketing effort behind this game to be able to even think about bullshots, much less actually create them

Why do they keep releasing these horrendous Ryo face screenshots is beyond me.

If it's indeed not final, why release it then? It only pushes people away from the game.

Shenmue has this unique thing going for it where the more uncanny the graphics look, somehow the more fitting it is.

Said this in the other thread, but theres nothing so far that matches the older games which left you amazed. God this is painful to see, id honestly would've been happy with an upgraded Shenmue 2 engine. This KS never felt right to me, you cant do Shenmue on a budget :( Hope you know what you're doing Yu, game needs to be grand and meaty, but witnessing progress so far that could be years away, or will be trimmed down due to resource and time.

The problem is that most expected a hypothetical Shenmue3 with ND levels of detail.. and people should accept that this is the best case scenario.

Looks like the perfect bridge to a new Shenmue to me.

Many replies in this thread go to show why middleware didn't survive last gen :(

How many people involved with the original game(I include Shenmue II) are working on Shenmue III? Did Yu Suzuki hire a bunch of fans to work on this or what? I remember reading an article about the painstaking detail regarding a coiled telephone cord animating correctly in the first game.. :(

Models look good, specially that old man, I think it is just that the eyes are not looking anywhere at the moment, but resting in a default position.

I like everything but the 3rd screenshot, for some reason that guy just looks off (face, body, etc).
Graphically they are doing well I think considering their budget, but that's just me.
