I never said in my posts that I expected people to still care. I just said the game was gone from people's minds and not even achieving a baseline buzz other titles get, despite being part of the E3 2015 "holy trinity".
Another example: there was slightly more talk about
Rime than Shenmue III in the PSX thread, and Rime is now
actual vaporware after switching publishers and vanishing for a few years.
And I'll say
again- Shenmue III having basically dropped off the radar is only going to help it when it makes a re-reveal.

Just panning the camera over environments won't do for me... not anymore.
The trailer Japan dinner backers saw had cutscene material, but it was primarily a location reveal. Of course we have no idea how this trailer has changed in six months, but both Shenmue and Shenmue II had trailers like this before release/more developed trailers, so try not to feel too burned if it doesn't give you the amount of cutscenes clips you want.
