No exact details were given, but it seems that way.


I may sound silly here but i took the 'rapport system' as characters having voices (rather than just text displaying when they are speaking)?



Don t think that s it.


And in the gameplay video you hear them speak. It would be too different from Shenmue and Shenmue II otherwise.

But in Skies of Arcadia 2, no problem 8)

Yeah, there's no way Shenmue 3 wouldn't have VOs... as the original Japanese VO for Ryo is locked in the project. It just wouldn't be acceptable by today's standards in a 3D free roaming game. But again as someone mentioned before, Yu Suzuki could have done a Shenmue 3 PDF and I would have much enjoyed playing it... with my mind.

That would make more sense in the context of what Shenmue is. But at the same time, google says:

rap·port/raˈpôr,rəˈpôr/
noun
a close and harmonious relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well.


Which made me think of romancing other characters. Or maybe I'm just a weirdo.

Actually that makes sense. A "waifu" system might be at play here, as it is popular in Japanese games nowadays.

The rapport system is probably what he was talking about in here.

Yu Suzuki wrote:Shenhua will ask lots and lots of questions like these and the answers will get stored in the game and affect the outcome of the player's relationship with other characters. It's like a personality test. For example, the person who leaves behind the monkey is the type of person who leaves their wife."

theres an interview with shuhei yoshida on engadget now, where he is asked about the shenmue 3 kickstarter.
and i have to say his answer doesnt sound like sony's backing/funding the project in any way at all.
he basically said, they just liked the project, so they decided to promote it at the E3 conference. weird. adam boyes on the other hand said in that gamespot video interview that they are providing "some" funding aswell. well, if thats so, why is there absoloutely zero info about playstations involvement on the kickstarter campaign page ? i find this all very strange and confusing.. and the fact that lots of news sites took adam boyes statement to generate and spread articles with headlines like "sony is funding shenmue 3" or "sony is helping make shenmue 3", also very counterproductive for shenmue 3. i mean ever since that info started spreading on social media , things have slowed down tremendously.

Gio Corsi says that Sony is going to actually work on the game and put money into it.

That sounds a lot more like Shenmue than what I was thinking of.

Yeah I originally thought it was going to be some strange persona 3 style waifu system but then I remembered that old interview. Yeah I noticed the kickstarter slowing down a bit and people actually started talking about withdrawing their pledges once they heard Sony was helping with this. Doesn't seem to have had too much of a negative impact though since we've already hit most of the stretch goals.

Just to add to what others have said, Biscay mentions that he is in charge of promo in Europe and also the PC version of the game.

Also, for those who don't speak French, fast-forward to 8:10 for an amusing clip :)

As a long time Shenmue Fan I've done my part... $300 for my beloved Series! Let's hope this turns out as great, as we've all been waiting and wishing for, the last 14 years!

Cheers guys, we're almost there ;-)
