Yu Suzuki on Shenmue III (Famitsu.com interview, Nov 2)

[Switch]

Japanese site Famitsu.com today published a new interview with Yu Suzuki, in commemoration of the release of the recent Powerdrift 3D on the Nintendo 3DS, centered mainly around various arcade games he worked on at his time with Sega.



The good news for Shenmue fans is that the interview contains mention of Shenmue 3 in a few places, including some direct comments by Yu Suzuki.

I've extracted and translated the relevant parts here:

My favorite part is where he states that his ideal graphical vision, going back to the early arcade days, has never changed - and he gives a Shenmue 3 image as an example of that ideal.

You were online last night when Yu posted some clips on here, right? We were all amazed. Words can't describe. It's just a shame the thread had to be deleted after twenty minutes or so. Tell me you didn't miss it?

I was too busy playing the demo build that leaked.



Haha.

December really can't come soon enough.

There are quite a few articles that explain "HDR" in gaming.

Yu certainly is optimistic, very encouraging words for this fan to hear.

December was last week, did you miss that too ?

These drug filled teens of today, they can't live in the present.

Ontopic: really Yu seems to be quite happy with how the game is going, I think he's getting more done than he thought possible with the new tools at his reach.

The picture with the Pumpkins looks really nice. I can see a city. 2017 will be an exciting year.
