Must've seen a different video of his, this one has some decent lighting effects considering it appears to be Sunset.
His video just further points out how pathetic the char designe, and lighting effects are in Shenmue 3 so far.
Kid Nicon did that in a single month, as a way to promote the KS.
You may be thinking well, Kid Nicon is working on Shenmue 3 now, so this is the quality we can epect.
Um not exactly, there's probally around a dozen artists working on Shenmue 3, and if the other artists aren't capable of his quality, he is going to need to lower himself to their lv.
For what little we see of Ryo in his video, we can already tell It's a million times better then any version of Ryo, Yu has recently shown off, and Ryo doesn't seem to be improving much from the concept art shown at E3, infact I'm pretty sure he has gotten worse.
Considering char models are very much a one person job, maybe we'll get lucky, and Yu will have kid Nicon handle him(and hopefully the other major characters as well).
It's a shame we can't clone Kid Nicon, because as it is, he's only one person, and Ys.net clearly needs more Kid Nicons.
If Kid Nicon proves anything, It's that the Shenmue community is not criticizing Yu enough.
Also I would like to point out, what 3 months of development means, going by the joke, that Yu is claiming will be the release date, it means 1/8th of the time they have, has been used up(that's a huge fraction for how little has been done, don't you think).
