Seeing the new official logo is a relief, even though I knew they had said they wouldn't be sticking with the temporary one. I was just like, what is taking them so long? Why do they keep using this one? Just for the record I think the whole alleged issue with young people not knowing how to read cursive writing is absurd. It's not like a completely different alphabet, just slight variations of the letter shapes. You can learn it in an hour. Then again I am into wildstyle graffiti so cursive is a pretty simple style compared to that.

The new models show a lot of great personality even in a t-pose. They're going to be bursting off the screen with charisma when they're textured and animated!

Gamescom. Yes! Smaller venue, less media pressure, fitting for a title with a budget as such and more to reveal sooner.

The Gamescom obviously doesn't get as much attention as say the E3, it's not in the spotlight as much.
But going by the size...
Gamescom is the world's 2nd largest gaming event behind Asia Game Show, (measured by exhibition space and number of visitors) with 345,000 visitors, more than 6,000 journalists and 700 exhibitors from 88 countries attending the show in its sixth year.

I didn't even notice they spaced the S apart from the henmue until I read comments here. It's really only a veeeeery minor nitpick but I hope they'll eventually close the gap again or maybe get rid of the strike on the left side of the h and just move the S closer.

Gamescom is located in Germany isn't it? an hour by plane from Barcelona... and I won't work this August.... decisions...

Anyway glad they changed the logo, and I LOVE those characters, everything is shaping nicely!

What I expect (only because it makes sense) is that they announce the addition of a "pledge upgrades" option and possibly new exclusive Slacker Backers rewards to take advantage of the Gamescom coverage.
I'm sure we can all agree that they'll never have too much funds in order to make the best possible Shenmue 3, especially with the delay.

What I dream of is a coordinated appearence of Shenmue 3 and an official announcement of Shenmue HD. It would not be contradictory with what I expect to see. It would benefit both sides by creating hype for Shenmue 3 and Shenmue HD.
As for icing on the cake, wouldn't it be just magic to discover that Ryo's Shenmue 3 (and main characters models) character model is identical to the Shenmue HD one?

I know that what I dream of is just too much to ask, but unless I'm proved wrong, I've still hopes. :king:

Sega on board as a publisher would make excellent news for the long term future of the series. They should have been publishing the game from Day 1 but whatever. Their cooperation is needed in order to ensure the success of Shenmue III.

However it's crazy to think that we're going to see actual footage of a game we've waited over 15 years for. When you sit there and reflect, we have come a LOOOOOONG way. Personally I'm not going to get my hopes up and won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes. I'm just going to pretend that Shenmue III will not make an appearance at Gamescom.

The highlighted ones are my bets... in a fantasy world. In a real world... no SEGA, no Shenmue HD and the "annoucements" will be that Shenmue is going to steam.

I've put up a post on Phantom River Stone about the new update.
http://www.phantomriverstone.com/2017/0 ... te-69.html

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the character of the girl appears to be dressed in the traditional costume of a miko (shrine maiden) at shrines in Japan, down to the decoration in her hair.

I love how the joint between the 'S' and the 'h' gradually thins out, before vanishing completely, over time. It's like a necrosis :P

All in all, this is the best update we've had in a good long while. They've finally seen the light and changed the logo to the classic style; there's new character concept art and early models, which is always a nice surprise; and now the Gamescom hype. Excellent!

As much as I'm liking the positive way game websites are sharing the news. I can't help but notice them to be a tad misleading. http://www.game-debate.com/news/23230/s ... -in-august. Shenmue 3 trailers? Maybe I'm wrong or nit picking but I doubt we will see too much yet.
