That's Shenmue alright and the battle system looks very interesting. Just a month and half to go, I can't wait!
I checked the Shenmue3demo folder and it contains 11.8 GB (12,679,970,816 bytes).
I went poking around in the files and I found a list of BGM for minigames.
- AnimalRace - Perhaps more than just turtles.
- BASKET
- Chobuchan_Fighter - This would explain the "Virtua Fighter" font on the arcade screen inside the GAME arcade screenshot.
- ChopWood
- CowBalloon - Cows and balloons apparently.
- ExQTE
- Fishing
- GOLF
- HighwayStar

For a game with such a limited budget it looks so f***ing good! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! Yu Suzuki is da man!
It's good. My PC barely meets minimum specs and I was able to run high settings at 1440p, at a stable framerate.
I loved every moment of it. The fighting felt not good at all to me at first, but once I got a feel for it I was stomping everyone. It actually feels pretty refined now that it has clicked with me.
Not going to lie, I had tears in my eyes at one point. I cannot believe just how much like Shenmue it really truly feels like. November is going to be an emotional month for me for sure.
Also! The PC version runs INCREDIBLY well for me. I cannot believe how smooth it looked.

Really glad to hear your impressions about combat. Watching a lot of streams this evening honestly at first, the combat looked slow and animation incredibly stilted.
Seeing a few replay the demo over and over again, seeing how combat improves once they train, spar and use skill book editor makes a marked difference to combat speed and flow. The hit animation still leaves a bit to be desired but I think Shenmue fans will have a lot to chew on.
Yeah I miss the throws but I think this new combat will grow on me a lot. I can see groups working better than ever.
I loved every second of what I've played so far. Just going into the first shop you see and being able to examine so many items and look through all the drawers was incredible.
The environments are so good... It really was an emotional experience exploring for the first time. I'll play it a lot more later and finally find the bookie at some point xD

So I have been playing and just doing nothing but training and exploring. The game is beautiful. My PC s not a powerhouse but it's ok and it runs the game on very high and it looks beautiful.
cpuldnt ask for anything more. Can't wait todig in some more and try combat.Yu Suzuki is a genius
question though, is there a way to save the demo? I have to go out and I don't want to lose my progress.

Imo, I think they made the demo start near this shop for that reason only.
I played the demo a bit more. I'm glad to see your moves have a lot more impact as you level them up, I was having a lot of fun with the combat as I got better.
A nice small detail was when I knocked on a random door and the person was out. I saw a woman go in later and tried again and she answered. I'm sure the full game will have tons of these little moments :)

Holy fuck I can't believe I have finally played Shenmue III, after almost 20 years! The demo is fucking AMAZING! It's 100% Shenmue. It feels, looks and runs absolutely fantastic. It's fucking beautiful. I'm still trying to process everything after one playthrough but there's so many details.
The exploration, music, beautiful setting, really fun characters who have interesting responses to what you ask are all so good. Some character responses made me laugh and I was surprised by how much depth some had. The combat definitely takes getting used to but I think it has the potential to be great. It's different but it feels like it has impact and once mastered will work well.
I actually can't believe how polished it feels. It ran absolutely great on my PC and it's by no means a high end gaming PC. It has surpassed my expectations and the team have done so well. There's no doubt that the full game is going to be absolutely amazing. They fucking did it!

Watching a few streams, this is definitely looking like faithful continuation of Shenmue. Can not be more overjoyed. A few screens taken from Dojo-
Those last two shots look especially nice. I'm in danger of getting the bad ending at this rate, I'll spend to much time investigating every little corner of the game world!
Glad to hear the combat isn't too bad, those initial impressions around E3 were somewhat concerning (though like Yakuza, combat is a small part of the greater experience for me) but hearing it gets better the more you play is great news. Unfortunately my PC is both underspec'ed and without a graphics card at the moment (oops) so I'll just be waiting for my PS4 copy come November. Absolutely can't wait, this is the only real sequel I've wanted to a game, and now its finally almost here! And watching the new trailer... the one scene right at the end... I can't wait.
That surreal moment when someone nonchalantly gives their impressions of Shenmue 3. It's real. It's actually real.
I don't have a means of playing the trial even though I have a key (I think), so I'm just going to wait it out until release day, but to all those who Shenmue fans playing it, I hope it delivers for you.
I can't overstate how happy I am to read so many positive impressions. I have a long day of work ahead of me. I can't wait to go home and play!
