well , i really do not care when shen 3 is going to be released... maybe some of you are going to say that i am mad but actually i will have no problem if game gets delayed. That way i'd be sure that Yu is taking his time and he is not thinking about deadlines but about making a great game.

Nevertheless i now understand that shen 3 is going to be heavily criticized by fans. Everyone has a vision for shenmue 3 and the pressure For YS.NET to please everyone is high. I am really afraid that when the game comes out lots of people will be whining about every little detail. I think that we all have to take a step back and think where we were before shenmue 3 got announced. No one cared about the console , no one cared about the money , no one cared about anything. Lots of fans were suggesting that the story should be finished via books for Christ sake!!! we've gone a long way. Just be grad that we are getting shenmue 3, have faith in Yu and stop being so judgmental...its just an early version of a character...If the game comes out and the characters look like mario then yes , i'be be disappointed too. Until then i am the happiest man alive thinking than there will be a time than i am gonna see the shenmue 3 intro screen on my TV.

So....we have to compare a prototype test model with an amazing image from the original ones.....Ok that's not fair at all....

Well, if you are talking about Kid Nocon who created this then i am glad he is on the team...

break up with my wife so that i do not have any distractions... .

A great video on YouTube from TeamYuNeedsYou with the reactions from the community

Thats amazing yuc02!! The shenmue community is indeed one of the best out there. As Peter usually said in his streams there is so much love here!
We owe a thank you to you yuc02 for organizing the whole thing and for writing down the names of people who could not be there (including mine)!

Kudos to you yuc02!

Those screenshots are gorgeous, I really like how Ryo looks now and would be completely fine if that was his final model and looked like that in the game. I'm very satisfied with how he looks

Get out of here

I hate to be really negative but If he looks like that in the final game which I know he wont then I wont be playing it. I'm actually serious, he straight up looks like someone else. There are models used in spin off games featuring Ryo Hazuki that look more like him and were even probably easier to make. No need to worry though because its definitely not final.

Wow. You won't play a game that you have waited for for 16 years? Because the main character model doesn't look how you want it to look... lol true fan right here boys. Jesus fuck... They could literally replace Ryo with the model from the Shenmue Zero fan game, and you wouldn't be able to hold me back from playing it.

They could replace Ryo's model with this and i'd still cry when that little shoopuf rider exits the cave :P https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/1/1b/Hypello_drawing.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20140410184449
As for the images. I really can't wait to explore those cities. Literary! as Kiske said the wait is unbearable.

He wrote it on Facebook after a fan asked him if we saw any of his work in the trailer.

"NoconKid Jhj: Yes. there is.^^ There are many things. I can not say everything,
but I'll just say one thing. I made Dragon Mirror & Phoenix Mirror"

Is someone able to translate this sign?

It says "Shop Name Wanted" i.e. they haven't decided it yet. :)

Underneath the characters (店名募集) is the pronunciation in Japanese: "ten mei bo syu".

OMG OMG.
Really?? they have not decided YET?? ok i will never play this game. i just cannot believe that!!!! The name of this random shop in the village is really important to me!!! This is a disaster!!!!!

Wow! An amazing find by Shenmue Forever‏ on twitter. Lan di and Niao sun are in the teaser! Probably an Easter egg.

Another amazing stream by Mr357 ;). Re-watching it right now

I like it. It's much better than the facial animations in "life is strange" that i am currently playing!

But hey...its shenmue 3.....so lets whine about it all over the internet even when games with bigger budget have worse animations....

you guys are right. This is unacceptable for a game that was announced in 2015.

Look at all the FF7 Remake footage that we have....

Hi Allan. It's really great to have you here!! It really shows that you guys care! I hope you see in Shenmue what we see.

Thank you so much for your hard work and please do your best
