Random Shenmue III Thoughts

[Let's Get Sweaty]

Sure, if it's straightforward to translate.

The data on the Kickstarter page refers only to the Kickstarter campaign, which ended in July 2015. Current data, incorporating both the Kickstarter and Slacker Backer campaigns, is at shenmue.link/order, which has been amended following a recent error that caused data from March 2016 to be displayed for a short while.

Should I reply him this?

Don't bother, I've already sent two new comments, not yet approved.

All right, nevermind (I had the translation ready to be posted, though ). Hopefully he'll fix the article, he seems to be a nice guy.

EDIT: he updated the article (I'll try to translate what he said):

UPDATE 14 FEBRUARY - Thanks to the informations from our users Kiske and John Doom, we let you know that the data available on the Kickstarter page is not updated since Shenmue's Kickstarer's deadline ended. Therefore the only reliable data on its crowdfunding is available on the official page Shenmue.link. In addition, the videogame's co-producer, Cédric Biscay, replying on a question about a possible delay for Shenmue 3, said: "No delays expected currently from us."

[Kiske]

The guy seems to be more than ok (especially compared to others in the industry).

I offered him to contact me in case he needs reliable info on the franchise.
In the end, even if the website isn't very popular (yet) it was worth the effort.

New Unreal's engine version has been released, will Suzuki and his team make use of every update?

While the game is still in development, then it's very likely. The only time I wouldn't expect them to update to a new version of the engine is if they're getting close to their date for "going gold"; in case the update breaks something (which can happen) and delays the completion.

What are the improvements?

https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/unrea ... 5-released

Unreal Engine 4.15 has been officially released. This iteration of Unreal Engine has many new features which are showcased by support for the Nintendo Switch. Unreal Engine 4.15 has added physically based default post processing settings. This adds better bloom settings, more film-like color and tone response to regular displays and HDR displays, etc. There is new improved texture streaming which lowers CPU overhead and load times while eliminating low resolution artifacts and automatically managing varying amounts of memory budgets.

Compile times for programmers has been reduced by up to 50%! You can reload content while Unreal Editor is running, reroute nodes in materials, integrated Blendspace Editor, cooking blueprints to C++ is no longer experimental, and many more. There are mobile previews for Vulkan, Metal, and OpenGL ES 3.1.

The VR Editor menu has new improvements such as a numpad and the ability for onscreen pointer input to be overridden by keypad choices. Flight stick and steering wheel support has been added along with non X-input devices via a new Raw Input Plugin! Take that Microsoft for making all my old devices from the early 2000's obsolete! There is even force feedback support and Playstation VR Aim controller support!

Linux ARM64 support has been added along with Alternate Frame Rendering Support for Nvidia SLi. This is a huge update and should give game developers new and faster tools to design the game worlds that they always envisioned in their dreams. Can't wait for these new features to be showcased in games of the future. Unreal Engine is used in so many games. This is great for PC, console, mobile, and IOS gaming!

Unreal Engine 4.15 includes significant gains in overall stability, enhancements to developer workflows, and improvements to runtime performance resulting in greater efficiency during development and superior end user experiences after release.

WOW. He captured a place, time, and people that are just remarkably beautiful.

Almost can't even believe it really exists. Magical.

There's no way this game is coming out in 10 months. I've been in the camp expecting a delay all along, but sitting here without any substantial updates in a good long while has me feeling very sure we will be waiting into mid-to-late 2018 to play this one.

It's worth giving them the benefit of the doubt for now.

We know the KS updates have been vastly conservative compared to the actual progress made on the game anyway. If YSnet think they can still do December 2017, then they'd be the ones to be in the best position to know if that's possible or not.

Maybe by some act of AM2 wizardry they could actually manage it.

This place is gorgeous

Hopefully, one day I'll have the opportunity to visit Guilin.
Maybe as my gamer "Holy Pilgrimage", when the Shenmue Series will be completed.
