Maybe some focus on "Shenmue Tree", something like that:

I think camera circling the three would be cool too

Thanks! Yeah it was all done in Vegas using smooth keyframes and media generators.

Those generators are amazing, I've explored so much and still so much to explore. It's the first program in a long while im excited about opening and learning. If there was a course on it I'd do it. A fantastic program which is limitless, especially when you have the BCC plugin.

Great job on the video I really can't get behind that title font though. It's so ugly. As soon as I squint enough to go "Eh...I guess if we have to" I see the old logo and realize just how much better and how much more "shenmue" it is..

I remember asking my eleven (ten at the time) year-old niece one time she was visiting if she could read this, and she instantly replied with, "Shen-myoo-ee three," which is close enough, so any concerns Yu Suzuki has about young people not being able to read the cursive logo aren't true for everyone.

If the game looks like what Peter quoted as a continuation of the Dreamcast version. Then I think having the same exact menu screen with very few or minor changes is what we need to ensure the consistency and flow of the series. I might be the only party here but I really hope they add the opening chime where the AM2 logo appears when you first start the game. That chime might be the most important element to any long time fan playing Shenmue III for the first time.

I'd rather they not waste money on the main menu and instead use the $$$ saved to implement the AI Battling Stretch goal.


This will do just fine.
