I kinda see about the faces but Jesus there's some mad hyperbole already

Looks good and can only get better. Very good first taste

Guys, remember it shows that the game is in development, this is a teaser trailer, not even an official trailer of what it may look like down the way.

I am glad SEGA is bringing back their franchises, makes me happy to have more variety around from Japan :)
 
And this is why they probably shouldn't have even done it ppl are gonna tear them apart unfortunately

Just glad many ppls dreams are being realized here can't wait to play my first shenmue

Looks amazing! Shenmue 2 is the only game i'm replaying every year. I'll definitely be getting a new PC for this.
 
Facial animations need work but otherwise looks awesome! Still over a year to go so I'm not worried about it...yet.

what facial animations ? It seems very static to me.

WiP of course. Also, yes, the challenge to balance traditional old school character look and current gen scenery will be a tough one

This entire thread will be heated debates about whether or not it's okay for the faces to be barely animated in this early teaser.
 
Looks alright, but man... some of those character designs are REALLY dated. Hope they can retouch or add more expressions down the line.

The environments look great, but this is going to eat Andromeda's lunch when it comes to bad facial animations.

Well obviously the faces don't animate here making them look off. The world looks beautiful though. It's nice to see the game coming along.
 
Looks great, characters models and animations are not there yet, but this is a very early look. I am happy to see the game taking form.
 
It looks really good. But at the same time it's just...off.

But eh, it's still ages away, there's plenty of time to work on it and take feedback as well. I'm still hyped, there's not much like Shenmue out there.

Sega can't have any credit for Shenmue 3, can they? They are not giving a single penny for this project.

Animations and the faces in particular look very stiff and lifeless, which clashes a lot with the rather detailed environments. Looks very uneven.

Hopefully they'll have time and resources to improve on these things.
 
Happy to see some real progress. The game and character models look much better in motion. Glad they have another year to polish this but it's coming together well.
 
I never laughed so much at a trailer.
Those faces, these animations, it's almost like they made it looks ridiculously awful on purpose.

Otherwise I liked the lighting.

It's a kickstarter game that's still a year+ off. Seems like they prioritized getting the graphics/art assets done first and then work on polishing the animations. That said, if a year later the animation and faces are still rough then that's a whole different story than clear WIP footage. We saw this happen with KOFXIV too.

6 million is a lot by Kickstarter standards but that's probably pretty modest by major game standards. Really important to keep that in mind.

How far out is this because it looks straight up bad. Yikes.

Second half of next year. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets bumped to 2019 though.
