Like all fanbases. See gaming forums, politics, football, religions, choice of smartphone, ...

It's not that easy and they felt forced because of nagging backers. As far as I know, their development style doesn't easily allow them to show more polished things at this point either. There's a reason why most companies don't show much until the last few months. Most can't really afford to create a vertical slice earlier on.

Which one? I saw some where he wanted Sega to release HD-ports.

Is it most? I haven't read the whole thread but saw criticism on here before. Your post got more thumbs up than a few positive ones actually.

I also think so. And I never liked the idea of removing a lot just to get an ending in Shenmue 3. Similar pacing is an integral part.

Besides criticism, one reason is people want to be part of the internet mob mentality. Repeating "hilarious" jokes about PS2 gets more likes than repeating dry facts (work in progress etc.). Like Mass Effect, I saw the faces, thought it looked odd, moved on. But of course the "gaming community" started another hyperbolic round of immature nerd outrage, some harassed developers etc.

But I don't get why no one from the team realized that having a fullscreen disclaimer at the start of the trailer could avoid some of this. Just write that facial animations were removed etc. since many don't read descriptions or interviews.

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

Oh wow! Never in a million years would I have spotted that.

Wow, that's cool! It may not be an easter egg because you can see Ryo staring at them. He either runs away and hides or he fights him right there! I could be wrong though.

Looks like an easter egg. Look at how they are both stood, in the same pose that we have seen from all the character models in Unreal. It's the generic pose from the model editor I believe.

Nice find !

I am not surprised to see them tho as we're going to fight both during Shenmue III !

Wow they really hid them well. Great effort to spot them there!
I wonder if Yu and the team were thinking "when will they find it" in all the days of the buzz around it.

Well, fuck me, that was well-hidden! Watching the trailer again, their entire demeanour is very static and lifeless (which is especially evident during the parallax), so I wouldn't get your hopes up about them actually being present in this scene in the final game.

If I remember correctly in one of the interviews yu Suzuki hinted at spotting two characters in the teaser.

That is an incredible find. Damn

What a find! Especially since I know most of us combed over the trailer multiple times for this type of find.

Hidden in plain sight. Motherfuckers!

Incredible find.

Nice find... Nia Sun dress looks beautiful.

HoooOooOoooly!
That one was really difficult to spot! Great find!

I'm so hyped... Just hoping this article is right http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/shenmue-hd ... ming-2017/ and Shenmue HD finally get released by the end of this year!
