Shenmue III - E3 2019 Trailer
- Thread starter Spaghetti
- Start date
Haha, it does seem a bit out of character. Now if there's a romance scene between Ryo and someone else in S3 like we all hoped there would be in the first two, I'm not sure I'd be able to suspend my disbelief. They say people can change but I'm not sure they can change that much.
When you say empty, do you mean in terms of people?
If so, the game's got around 500 NPCs, I wouldn't worry about that.
Besides some low budget facial animations, it actually looks good? The hyperbole is always strong with this game.
Agreed, this looks great when you take into account the budget and size of the team on this. Love the amount of charm this short clip has.
Damn, that looks nice. Really nice. I kinda wish I hadn't kickstarted the game already so I could buy that instead.
Ryo x Xiuying. The true pairing. Accept no substitutes
It's going to be Xiuying. Shenhua is more like a sister to Ryo. At least, I think anyway.
EDIT: Beaten lol.
Can't wait to try out the battle system in this. Suzuki made a hardcore mode for Virtua Fighter fans. :D
I just checked out the Shenmue III listing on PSN and there's about 2-3 screenshots I'm pretty sure I've never seen before.
Also the Digital Deluxe version is £70!

There's no weight to the kicks or punches.

Yesssss.

The trailer is full of highs and lows, as you'd expect from effectively a 45 person indie studio trying to make a sequel to one of the most expensive games of all time, but they're doing a sterling effort against the odds and fuck anybody sneering from behind their keyboards at it.
I'm glad some diehard Shenmue people are going to get something. It doesn't seem like there is really anything for anybody that isn't feeling strong emotions of nostalgia though. It just looks bad. The environments, animations character models just look terrible. It's hard to imagine someone who has never played Shenmue being interested.

Is there any way to check this online?
Funnily enough there's also new and updated footage playing on the Epic Games Store, including extended cuts showing combat.
Make sure you enter in your date of birth to be able to see the trailer and images.
This one is definitely unfamiliar to me anyway.
This looks like what I imagined Shenmue 3 would look like during the early 2000s, and I'm perfectly okay with that.Besides some low budget facial animations, it actually looks good? The hyperbole is always strong with this game.

Nah that's a Gamescom 2017 image believe it or not. No new screens there as far as I can see.

Oh shit, you're kidding. I thought I was keeping close tabs on this game!
It's nice to see that the fight scenes are going to look great. *dreams of the fight between Ryo and Niao Sun and the fight between Lan Di and Ryo*

@ianpm31 already said it, but A Plague Tale is a largely linear game whereas Shenmue is this quasi-open world life sim with about half a dozen or more interacting systems to form the core gameplay loop, with a fully functioning economic system supported by quite a few mini-games and side activities, taking place over multiple distinct locations, with like 500+ unique NPCs.
It's the same when Hellblade is brought up in similar conversations. Ninja Theory wanted to provide AAA production values on an indie budget, and the end result meets those goals at the expense of breadth and length. I'm pretty sure Ys Net could produce a super pretty, very linear, 7 hour long experience with a handful of characters if they really wanted to... but that's not Shenmue.
It look like they just wanted to stick real close to the source as far as graphics. I get around to when I get around to it
They have definetly made significant progresses and now the game definetly captures the Shenmue feeling with modern graphics.
Unfortunately and this has been obvious since the beginning, many people simply won't accept that this game was basically made with an indie budget and it has to show, it's only natural.
I'm looking forward to read impressions from the press on the demo they brought to E3.

It's all well and good the game looks "ok" (that's up to the individual) for an open world game, but we've still not seen ANY gameplay. So I really don't find it surprising, shocking, or upsetting that people continue to shit on the game for what's been shown, which is nothing. The game was supposed to come out in a little over two months, and they still haven't managed to throw together some footage of Ryo walking and talking. Maybe they'll show that in a couple days, but right now I really don't take issue with people commenting on the awkward animation, character designs and odd selection of footage.
Based on this footage, this game tells you absolutely nothing about Shenmue or what Shenmue 3 is about. The environments are also completely devoid of life & activity, which doesn't make the fact that it's open world look very impressive.

I meant wait to see if the difference in scope can justify such a gap in... Everything else.
Honestly, it looks like how I envisioned a Shenmue 3 would do
I see the negativity in the thread. I 'get' it in relation to modern day AAA, but I think it looks charming.
It looks like a natural fit with 1 and 2 on a small budget. I'm excited to finally play it

It looks serviceable at best, glad the fans of the series is getting more of the story.
That being said, the animations and the characters have always been an issue for me when they have shown this game, which is pretty bad for a game about characters. It's not just that the animations are rough around the edges, it's more that they lack impact and reaction.

Pretty much how I feel. I enjoyed the choreography of the boat fight and hope we see more gameplay soon.
Agreed, I can feel the vibe of the original two games through these trailers, however I understand completely if people are turned off by it.
Looks like shenmue to me. I'm not sure what people expect from this lol. I do still want this. I'll be keeping an eye on it even though its in the Epic Game Store now.
That is the exact way the game needed to be like. It still has that old school vibe and what a "next gen" dreamcast game would be like.
It does. These fuckers better keep it on steam for the backersBesides some low budget facial animations, it actually looks good? The hyperbole is always strong with this game.
I can't... this is Yu Suzuki we're talking about. The father of realistic fighting games. Do you remember how fluid Virtua Fighter played? How much you felt those hits?
If there's anything that's going to be locked in, that's absolutely guaranteed, it's the fighting.
Just calling it like I see it. There's no weight to the fight in that video.
