Haha, I think this is amazing. It's so authentic to the originals -- even more than I expected it to be. I can't wait now.

Shenmue 3 Gameplay E3
- Thread starter benzy
- Start date
Similar to me... On the first game I tried a few minigames and bought a few things, but I never tried to achieve everything. It is cool to have it there, despite being something that is not really necessary for the game to progress. It's part of the experience.
If you skip to the 12 minute mark you can see the toy capsule machines. It has a similar reveal sound effect as the originals!
The first proper public gameplay showcase this game gets and I'm watching turtle races, quite possibly the most boring thing ever.
I fucking love that they go and play the mini games, then reset and play all the same mini games again.
Oh my god, fucking turtle races!
Looks like it has the Shenmue charm of turning the most mundane thing into something exciting. I was worried he wouldn't sound like Ryo, since the voice actor has aged, so that's cool as well.

Lol it was very odd. If you skip to the end past the 12 minute mark you can see toy capsule machines.
I think we're getting a lot of replies of people who don't have a goddamn single clue of what shenmue actually is.
Seems like something that was done like 20 years ago right after the other ones but they now got it out of storage and slapped some slightly more modern textures on top. I was obsessed waiting for Shenmue 3 as a kid, I consider them some of the best games I've ever played (I haven't replayed them since then because I don't want to ruin the amazing memories), but I'm not feeling this outdated approach in 2019. :(
Welcome to every Shenmue thread since 2015 and probably before that.
It's 13 straight minutes of diversions you're supposed to spend like 2 minutes with in between taking to people about your father's murderer. With no music. Of course it's boring.
On the other hand, this is staggeringly similar to what Shenmue 1 and 2 felt like which bodes well for people who are actually looking forward to it.
Day 1 for boring ass lucky hit save scumming.

Not being a dick but have you played Shenmue? :) It's things like winning cans, balancing books against the clock and turtle racing that brings so much charm to the series.
To be fair, half of the games plugged in right now were probably like 3 when the last one came out.
Duck Race you mean
This is all I want to know
That slow paced, laid back flavor I love. Even if it's just minigame gameplay, it's still nice to see. The turtles are super cute too, so I bet I'll spend a decent amount of time there.
edit: Wait, are people seriously taking minigame footage as a way to drive-by shitpost on the whole game? Get a grip, y'all.

This isn't outdated. I really hate that idea. You want video games to be respected as art, let some of them be idiosyncratic. This is a Yu Suzuki game through and through. Which means it going to appeal to some but not others. But just because you don't like it doesn't mean it should be more modern. Whatever the hell that means.
I think it looks great.
Finally seeing him walking around and it looks better and so good. Can't wait for the more footage!

Kinda disappointed they are missing animations that the original games had... noticably the capsule machine.
It wouldn't be Shenmue if it didn't have a turtle race. Honestly , just looking at the assortment of mini games/ collectable crap. It really does look like Shenmue in every way that matters. yeah, the graphics are not going to win any awards. But they look fine to me. I'm actually quite surprised at how much Shenmue III does look like a current-generation Shenmue game. It looks like YuNet has all of the Shenmue II systems in place. But there seem to be other enhancements as well.
Also, the voice acting is better than the english dub of Shenmue 2 or 1 for that matter. It still comes off as a "dub", but this time, things don;t sound nearly as bad.
I mean Shenmue is a slow paced game, like really slow.
It looks about how I expected, the only thing really that threw me off was no music which apparently was disabled in this recording for some reason since others have said the demo has music.
I'm not a HUGE Shenmue fan but excited to give it another try since I finally finished Shenmue 2 a couple months ago.

For some reason disabled in this video, but present in the build demoed.
As others are saying, I love how this looks like a Shenmue game that would have been on a Dreamcast 2 if that had been produced. Animations, voices, art direction, etc. all feel very Shenmue and I love that. Admittedly, a lot my love for the series is pure nostalgia as some of the game mechanics were a little slow and clunky...but in '99 this series was quasi open world Virtua Fighter and it was mind-blowing.
I love that minigames are back in a big way. But it seems like a weird thing to showcase at E3 lol. At least share some combat, exploration, a bit of a mission.
Still hyped as hell.

Alright good to know. Game looks solid imo. Still cant be there day one from the EGS debacle. Selling the ps4 game on principle and getting my steam game later.
Seems like they might have, but IGN Japan chose to make this video... maybe there's more to come?
