If you plan on modeling all of the same environments seen in Shenmue then you had better split it the same way they did in the game. You had also better make some big decisions about what needs to be modeled and what can be more effectively achieved with a texture, e.g. nuts and bolts or the entire interior of a car. Just black out the windows like they did in the game. Not to mention you'll never finish if you try to maintain that level of detail - you'll just burn yourself out.
If we all had 12 GB RAM and 4 state-of-the-art graphics cards and a 3.8 GHz overclocked quad-core processor, then I would say go ahead, put as much f***ing detail in the game as you want, but no one owns that kind of comp. I wish we could all own comps like that so we could play games that detailed.
In 15 years when his game is finished, I'm pretty sure we'll all be able to run it. Don't you worry your pretty little head.
