Can we please do another countdown to E3/twitch/stream kind of thing? This is more exciting then E3 as we know Shenmue 3 is gonna be there for real, there's gonna be actual footage and also new announcements. I used to love getting home from work and going on youtube to see everyone chatting while Shenmue music played. Good times.
I also would like this.

Anyway looks like haters are already digging in from this update

That's what Yu Suzuki said in one or more interviews. It's in-game engine graphics. No CG.

The latest post on the Phantom River Stone blog picks out seven details that appear in the Shenmue III teaser and digs into them a little further.

Pleeeeeased with what I'm seeing. :heart:

Even though I'm confident they'll improve, I would have zero problems to accept this if it was the final result (plus some facial animations).
As it has been already pointed out many times by many people... for more than a decade we were on our knees for a book or graphic novel directed by YS to continue the saga, we're getting the videogame now.
I'm uncomfortable even at the thought of complaining.

A good question.

Part of me thinks we're getting a swerve where Ryo can put up a fight, but can't actually beat Lan Di.

I can re-confirm. Unless Yu Suzuki has changed things, we're going to face Lan Di.

This is so awesome haha! Just busy doing work and keep looking at twitter to see that someone has made another post saying that Shenmue 1 & 2 HD are in the top sellers in their country. It doesn't get much better than this guys! The pre-orders are so damn strong it's crazy! !!

Just display it for a few seconds, I'm fine with that.

This is great news.
1. more time to develop
2. proves funds are holding up
3. gives SEGA time to polish 1&2
4. gives fans and new players time to experience 1&2 new releases

THANK YOU to all the supporters, the pre-order success is absolutely encouraging, and surely had a part in the extension of production. This will help Shenmue long-term as 1&2, then 3, will fall into place better, setting the pacing, the demand, and financial support for 4.

Great to finally see some properly animated and voiced characters. Just a bit further to reach actual game cutscenes and then gameplay!

The kid is perfect for delivering this kind of thing, because she doesn't have a serious in-game personality to maintain. If they got Shenhua to do this video then she'd either be creating a disconnect by acting out of character, or a fun little clip would become less playful.
