Off the top I'm not liking the sound of this at all. Not saying the new combat won't be good, but what could he replace it with that's better? If it's mashy like Arkham I'll be upset. If it's more like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta where certain strings still have a high skill ceiling I'll be cool. I ...

Hello everyone, I am new in the forum. I tried to improve the Ryo Hazuki model of Shenmue III http://i.imgur.com/nqF0IIn.jpg Modified http://i.imgur.com/f7IHy5F.jpg Hope you like it! This looks amazing! The problem with the current Ryo model is the face is too wide (baby fat?) and the eyes are wide...

Ryo looks miles better. The new Shenhua model looks better in some shots than others but still needs a ton of work.

They did it! The bomb has been dropped!

Honestly, China is not a good market at all for console gaming right now. Most in Shenmue have basically never heard of Shenmue. Their gaming culture is all revolved around PC gaming. And Shenmue III is a pc game, what's your point? Gaming in China is very different than here. Console gaming is bas...

Hopefully. Yesterday we hit rock bottom with 21,000.

Isn't Yu Suzuki like, totally detached from the gaming world? I'm pretty sure he's stated a few times he doesn't play or even have much interest in video games. Yea. He even kinda got to where he is today by chance. In a interview it said he never wanted to be a game designer, just that he happened...

As weird as this sounds, I'm more interested in the turtle lol. It was funny to see him mention it in the AMA. I wonder how big the turtle is.

The kickstarter's daily pledge is dropping every day. I'm not liking this at all. There seems to be a serious lack of commitment and enthusiasm from the people managing the kickstarter and this is one of the biggest problems. Seriously is it that hard to give us a small update or anything at all? Fo...

Dude, I'm German and I've worked in China for like two years. I know what people over there look like. :D 想不想用中文聊天? But let's not go there, please. I was just trying to say it's OK for Ryo to look like a kid, since he is a kid. Anyway, these are just the very very first models. The final version of...

Hopefully it maintains this pace from here on out. If it does, including a last 2 day surge we are looking at $6 million plus. That is best case scenario of course.

Really? No one complained last night.

It's fine, certainly not as fun as competing against someone in Shenmue 2 but there's a lot of time to kill in Shenmue, darts is a good option.

Some of the people streaming shenmue right now.

I definitely think its a great idea. Something along the lines of a system like the one in MGS3 where there's a stamina bar. Low stamina would prevent you from being able to sprint and reduce your power and energy in battle. Also certain foods would provide buffs or perks, something like a coffee or...
