Shenmue III - ‘Ryo & Master’ Trailer [MAGIC 2019]
- Thread starter Spaghetti
- Start date
Aye. I think they'll drop it to early 2020 (2021 would be too late for this gen I think) but can't finalise the date yet so left no date on the trailer. That will make it the third(?) delay for the game. Good I say, if it means they can make the game as good as it can be and get better reception with those on the fence about the game.
Is it just me or is that kid animated better than most of the other characters? He looked legit great to me.
It looks freaking fantastic
I don't even get the complaints about the facial animation while talking, it looked fine.

Not sure what people expects of a low budget game these days. But I think it looks great for what it is. Love the 90's CG aesthetic too.
Isn't as open is understatement. Not only Hellblade is a fully linear game, but also it doesn't have the amount of characters and animation work of this game. Is not even comparable in terms of gameplay mechanics...
From the 7 million you have to take out the money needed for the KS rewards. You can't make a game as ambitious as Shenmue on modern systems without some corner cuts unless you have AAA amount of money. FROM's NPC barely had any facial animations until Sekiro...

Yeah the kid was the standout to me and the bad guy at the start. They were both well animated to my eyes.
They don't understand yet. The game is at such a fine state already. The fact that it can only go up from here is perfect. They chose the right time/build to show the game. Glad they didn't do it earlier since the last one

Some stuff is more finished than others. Shouldn't be much of a surprise, that's exactly how they've shown us the game since the start really.
How can you say that ? They kept improving over and over. How can you say it's never going to be fixed when it's already showing amazing improvement ?
You also fail to mention that Senua's Sacrifice has a total of... 1 character with facial animations.
It looks alright, animations still look wonky but not too terrible.
Compared to what for example Red Thread did with a fraction of the budget it's not too impressive. Music sounds good tho

Everything except the mouth animations looks good. It seems surprisingly true to the first two games. For some reason I wasn't expecting that (and it will certainly scare a lot of newcomers away).
The parts of the game they have shown honestly look done to me... like as far as the scenes they have shown go, there's nothing more that's needed. They're completed scenes.
Honestly looks like Shenmue to me, and this is the first time it has done so in my eyes. Really great progress. Yes, the animation while talking looks rigid next to modern games, but I suspect that due to the low budget, they decided to mimic the original games. You can see it when Shenhua reacts to Ryo saying his father was murdered - that very definite look to the ground felt very much like the old games.
On that note, Shenhua finally looked like herself. They've really improved the model there.

The entire point of Agile development is that you can continuously work on things until the very end of the project. That's why the entire game seems to get better all over between demonstrations. It's not like they're done with anything yet.
I agree. I wish for a 2019 release I would be fine with that in its current state. The things they would fix would be non factors now already but just extra I guess. They could make shenhua resemble more the original I guess
Did Yu Suzuki mention the release date at all during MAGIC? Do people think it's getting delayed again or not?
What with The Sinking City getting delayed like two weeks before release, I hope that doesn't happen with Shenmue 3 (last minute delay I mean)...

You have to think what they've shown is a small amount of the total games, though. All this seems to be from one area of the game, there is going to be 3 areas. There are 500 unique NPCs in the game, we saw maybe a dozen in the trailer.
I wouldn't doubt they're showing the most complete stuff in the game, but I bet there's still a lot of work left.
It looks okay considering the relatively meager budget they're dealing with for the game they're trying to make. I can excuse the poor animation on characters during cut-scenes and conversations but I wish combat looked better at least Oh well.
Honestly I kinda feel bad for slagging it. :P I wish Suzuki and his team the best.
I don't see how this trailer is indicative that that would be a good idea to be honest.
He didn't work on VF5 anyway...

Animations and lip sync, that is all the complaints I have.
All else looks good.
Now I wish there would be remaster remakes of the first two with these kind of graphics.... ;)

S3 looks great!
I've seen a few say that this game has a low budget... But I'm pretty sure we don't know what their budget is for S3.

Oh, for sure -- I'm not saying the game is done, I just mean those particular scenes are. There's obviously tons they haven't shown yet, but I wouldn't expect even minor changes to what we've seen so far in this trailer.
I love how people can complain that the game looks rough and then complain if it's delayed.
I think Shenhua is the best looking character by far. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
After this trailer? No, I think they're right on schedule.
The lip-sync is jarring at first, but honestly, it's going to fade away with the first 10 minutes of turning on the game for me. It's fucking Shenmue 3.
With no normal gameplay shown and no release date at the end of the trailer?
I can't fucking believe there is a for-real Shenmue 3 made by honest to god Yu Suzuki
For the longest time, I was so worried the combat was going to be entirely different or something, not at all like Virtua Fighter. This is all so very much Shenmue. It looks natural next to the other 2 games in terms of mechanics.

How people view these models
That image is actually cool and a product of its time
What is "normal gameplay?" You mean walking around town? I don't see how not having that in the trailer is an indication of anything.
I like how the trailer is set up. This is truthfully the first time in almost 20 damn years we're seeing new bits of the story in a trailer, and the very first thing we see, after Shenmue II ended with Ryo being such a badass, is him on the ground with the shit kicked out of him. Talk about humbling lol.
Yeah, it's pretty great. Oh, you took down a bunch of thugs in Hong Kong and Kowloon? Well, out here in the countryside your Kung fu ain't shit, boy.
I thought it looked hilariously bad but if fans are happy with what they got then more power to them. At least the soundtrack sounds like it'll be on point once again.
Not sure if you played the first 2; they've aged according to new players, but this is probably going to have refinements everywhere. I think you'll love it.
