Shenmue 3 Gameplay E3
- Thread starter benzy
- Start date
It looks so damn good. Take your time Suzuki.Took some screencaps from the gameplay B-roll for funsies. This game does colour so fucking well.
If I'm being honest, your versions look a bit too murky for nearly 9am and 1pm respectively. Each to their own though, this is what ReShade is for I guess.

Suzuki says he feels pretty confident about making the November deadline the team has set for themselves. Though development was tough, Shenmue 3 has come a long ways from where it was to start.
"To be honest, at the very beginning of the project, we thought that we may not be able to do a full Shenmue," says Suzuki. "But now I can say I'm confident it's a full Shenmue. This is Shenmue."
Those pics are great! I can't view everything at work, but I am loving the feel of Shenmue 3 through those pics.
Also, RE the combat from 1 and 2:
The combat in 1 and 2 wasn't a whole lot of fun for me, but was improved dramatically in S2. Personally, I found kicks to leave you too exposed. I preferred a combination of dodging, throws, and punches. The the throws could get really powerful, and the punches were fast. Once the dodging function was powered up in S2, you could do a lot of damage without being too exposed.

Loving everything I've seen so far! Feels like Shenmue and like home. Thank goodness there's one thread left regarding this game that is not plagued with negativity

I have to say the whole EGS has pissed me off, and not for the obvious reasons. I mean everybody was over the moon when this Kickstarter came about, almost disbelief that we could actually be getting a 3rd game, now roll on to today where people are clamouring for refunds and acting disgusted that Steam is no longer the PC platform of choice, yes it should have been Steam as that was in the text when pledges were taken, but on the other hand the game is still fucking playable on EGS right? And obviously things changed when DS took the reigns, injected a load of money, now we are getting the 'full experience'......so they are clawing some cash back, can we blame them? We as Shenmue fans are the winners.
I am shaking my head about this. The Shenmue fans are certainly not winners in this scenario.
If the rumors about Epic refunding hundred of thousands of 60$ priced copies are true, then yes, Shenmue fans are definitely the winners here since that will definitely make the fourth game a concrete reality.
On top of that the game still releases on PS4 worldwide and China on PC/PS4. The Collectors edition is almost sold out in Europe. Fans are going to buy the game no matter what some critics or anybody says.
With that being said I hope Deep Silver/Ys Net can come up with a solution on the steam issue.
That's how Epic does deals. They will offer you a set amount of presale sales upfront. SNK got offered "hundreds of thousands" of copies for Samurai Showdown so most likely the offer was the same for Shenmue 3
Ooops. My bad. When I hear refund I instantly think of the backers.
Hopefully they can provide steam keys to backers on launch day as a solution but I don't know how all that works.
I will remain cautiously optimistic, there are some REALLY questionable character design choices, some of the npcs don't look like they come from the same game and it is pretty jarring, they seem to have nailed the general atmosphere pretty well.
The combat looks way off, weirdly stiff and jerky, i booted up shenmue 2 to compare now and in many ways it looks worse than the combat in the earlier games, i really hope they have time too salvage the combat.
Overall i am still really looking forward to playing this, if nothing else just to get closure for the longest cliff hanger in videogame history.
This doesn't make any sense at all, the shenmue games looked amazing at launch, they where true state of the art technical achievements.

This seems like somewhat good news considering the torrent of negativity the past few days.
Listening to Huber talk about the game from the Easy Allies E3 coverage and how much he loved it, is all the confirmation I need to know this game will be awesome, at least to us die hard Shenmue fans.
Is Shenmue III 60GB now? According to the official FAQ's PC specifications, it is. However, the EGS page still lists at 100GB.
Also note, the EGS page has a "mature content" warning for Shenmue III, suitable for ages "18+." This is not the same as the AU's rating of "Mature" which only suggests those of the ages of 15 and above view the content and legally permits those who are younger to have access.

The english dub voice actor's voice acting doesn't sound the same as in the originals. The way he speaks is a bit different. There's just something off about it
Always played the originals in english but this one's defenitly going to be played in japanese by me. The english dub really was a waste of time and money when I consider this.

The english dub always sucked. Nostalgia made it sounds decent back then. And yes, I agree. It feels bad to say that because I know they hired some legitimate people to do the dub but overall ... It's a waste of money that could've gone to the game.
Corey sounds weird, like he just had some dental work, and his mouth has been anesthetized
I didn't know how to describe it but indeed that's exactly how it sounds.
Thing is he sounds completely normal, then with another line the numb mouth kicks in. Odd.
I would love to see what other devs can do with their franchises with the budget Shenmue got - built from the ground up.
My least favorite thing about the demo footage is the old dude in the wood chopping video screaming something every time Ryo chops wood. It gets really annoying about halfway through, especially once the lines start repeating. Anyone else with me!? I guess we needed more Delin-esque goodness.
I mean if you're a fan of shenmue 1&2 it's not that strange and should be kind of the humor (crate carrying job in shenmue 2). I guess maybe they're staying too true to the originals XD
I know they were going to keep Ryo's dogshit actor, but I thought Suzuki would hire actual actors for everyone else, but it sounds like they picked people off the street again.

Yeah same, at least a Shenmue 4.
Also does a physical steam disc actually have the full game contents on it or is it basically just an activation for the digital version? Seems pointless to if it's the latter.
That bothered me as well. Reminded me of book carrying duty in Shenmue 2, where every time you reached a table one of those temple workers would make a comment. I know this is the definition of nitpicking, but we really don't need a generic soundbite for successfully completing EVERY step of an errand.
This is nice.
Play it in Japanese. It's actually a good dub based off the footage we've seen.
Lol I think I'm the only one who likes the English voice acting. I know it's terrible but I'm glad they took the time to bring Corey back and at least get the original Ryo voice. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be disappointed if that didn't happen. It's 100% nostalgia and I know it's terrible by today's standards but it's charming and actually suits the Ryo character I think. I'm really pleased there's dual audio though.
You know, I think today is the only time since E3 I've really sat and enjoyed the content we've been shown.
I'm really excited by the look of the game. I hope it's not too short - that's my only worry. Like Shenmue 1, I'm hoping there are a lot of different things happening in the small locations and a sense of discovery - like finding Master Chen at the docks, then a whole segment later finally out about, and locating the Mad Angels. Or going back to the home and finding out there is a basement even though you were there everyday.
I am hoping that we get to uncover some shady behind the scenes mafia stuff, but like really uncover it. Fingers cross eh?

I always love the English dub. Reminded me of watching martial art movies with my uncle so yea ill be playing that way again lol
Nothing wrong with Corey's work in the originals. His sort of cold and flat way of speaking is appropriate to the story, but he just sounds weird now in shenmue 3. I mean 20 years have passed so everything can change in so many years. As an english dub lover I am going to play the japanese VA now which says it all.
They actually did hire "legitimate" actors, though. They even hired an American director with a lengthy resume this time. No idea what the story with the dub is. Perhaps an intentional recreation of the originals?
I don't think Corey sounds radically different, at least from the little we've heard. Part of it might also have to do with it being higher quality audio than we're used to.
There were a couple of lines where he sounded like he had something in his mouth. I guess it doesn't really matter, it would have fit with the quality of voice over in the other two games.
Pretty cool to see the Shenmue Collector Edition selling out in the EU on a lot of online retailers. It only went up on Amazon UK the other day and it reached number 3 on the best seller list at one point. Still bounces around the top 10. It's sold out in a lot of stores that put it up last week.
This is a really encouraging sign. I mean, people led me to believe there'd be very few sales outside the 'sales' from Kickstarter. Who knows what hanging out in the Amazon top 10 for the week actually translates to in sales, but it sure shows there's interest.Pretty cool to see the Shenmue Collector Edition selling out in the EU on a lot of online retailers.
