Comparing this to Horizon? LOL.
And the game is only going to dissapoint people who weren't Shenmue fans to begin with. People really need some perspective when it comes to this game. : /
Should compare it with Hellblade.

I don't like the faces. A shame since one of the things that impressed me the most about Shenmue was the faces.
Should compare it with Hellblade.
They could have easily edited the trailers to not show stupid face parts and focused more on the good parts like the background and few of the action movements.
Like they could have easily just showed off Ryo's attack and cut it to other scene, but they decided to show the stupid face zooming in. Did they really think anyone watching this part will think anything positive about this particular scene (the zooming in part)?

I don't think they skipped the good parts, because there are good parts to the trailer (don't make me break out the gifs), but clearly there is an issue of WIP elements being a little too... WIP for public eyes.Right I get that, they pick out the best parts. I guess it's possible they skipped all the good parts? Sure the environments look fine. The character models are hideous and the animations are meh. It's a mess. Sorry that hurts the fans so much, but I think we need to start being a bit realistic about what a small team and 5 million dollar budget can do with a little over a year of dev time left.

I think it's part of the 'charm'? I know that sort of thing is really common in fight scenes and also it's sort of hilarious to see.
It'll be neat to see whatever is more current and "now" as opposed to this which seems to be mostly older footage shown off a year ago. I would kind of be amused if all the other characters had their faces animated properly but Ryo remained :| . . . .
Plot twist: Ryo is a a sentiant AI personified in a droid prototype.
Ryo isn't expressing it, but he's thinking "YOU'RE TEN YEARS TOO EARLY"The character models from Virtua Fighter 2 had more life to them...

Makes sense.
The real Ryo is dead from starvation from being in the cave for too long.
Fixed.

Yes and no.
Hellblade is a much more linear game and a much less ambitious game than Shenmue III.
I don't think Shenmue III should really be compared to anything. Just judge it by its own merits.
I laughed.This game is still Virtua Fighter RPG in my head cannon. Ryo totally gonna change his name to Akira in his later age.
I wouldn't say Hellblade is less ambitious. A self published indie game made by roughly 20 people is an ambitious goal when it turns out as good as Hellblade. I would just say that both teams have different priorities and it's probably safe to say hellblade had a bigger budget.
It's still early days, this could be an old internal trailer for all we know*
*Fuck I hope so, lol
So, would this then mean that he never got his revenge because Lan Di simply changed his name to Lau, making the trail go cold?
At the risk of getting into trouble, its worth it to see some of the shocking reactions ive read over the last 6 pages.
In the name of transparency, I can say that 90% of what was in that trailer we were shown a year ago at the Kickstarter dinner. There is a strategy to what's being shown. If you think this was put together last week that's your business, I am just telling you that the majority of that footage is at least a year old, some even 18 months old now.
Take from it what you will. Also, for those looking for Yakuza level character detail, maybe throw a few extra bucks onto the ongoing PayPal for the game, since this is a low funded title without a multi million dollar development studio behind it.
Umm... Yes...Yes Lan Di changed his ID to Lau to hide from getting persecuted, joined a fighting tournament in his free time and Ryo is shadowing him under the identity of Akira.

"It just doesn't have the facial animations yet."
Then why are they showing unfinished scenes?
Then why did you bring up the best looking "realistic" game in video game history? If your point is that a $6 million game will never look as good as a $54 million game, well duh! That's not what anybody else is talking about.Again just like above, you've missed my point. I don't expect it to look like horizon, not even a little. The point is that I keep hearing "oh it's over a year out! It's just an early build! It's a WIP!" I'm sorry but 1 year time is not enough for a dramatic turn around from a small team with a tiny budget.
Seriously, with that Deep Silver partnership, couldnt they have someone to edit the trailer ? Or shpuld it be the fans to do it ?
The logo's ugly and the way it appears is cheap af.
The models looks fine but it's like they're not even animated yet (which is my guess and my hope)
Althought the environnements look super gorgeous.
Shenhua's dress looks awful but the environments are pretty, I'm sure animation and faces will be better in the final game but probably not close to what people expect this days.
I want this game for the story, everything else is secondary.
