Who needs Shenmue 3 now that we get Age of Empires 4.
Cancel all other videogames, we don't need them anymore

 

[Data West]

You

This week's Bombcast was real good. The first real good one since Ben joined. Jeff's internet rant was great.

I have basically stopped watching all West content now, though - aside from one or two QLs. East is seriously doing some great stuff - the Xcom feature is fucking genius (and I love it has some production to it, as well).

 

[nckillthegrimace]

shenmue 3 looks fucking terrible. how many times did they show off that logo in that teaser?

It's going to be embarrassing when the Shenmue 1&2 HD remaster looks way better.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Also just saw FFXV is 170gb on PC wtf.

Now I don't feel so bad for giving in and buying it during a steep PSN sale. Game sizes are just getting ludicrous now.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's why I'm waiting for a physical sale for horizon zero dawn.

 

[Sabas]

Jeff's podcast with Paul Barnett was really great. I wish Jeff did interview-type podcasts more often.

I know eh, I wish they'd leverage his talents for that stuff more often. Brad too, it was a shame we only got one of those technical retrospective things with the Uncharted collection because that was cool as fuck

hmm

 

[Antiwhippy]

To be fair ryo's face barely changes in the first game.

 

[Human Trashcan]

Shenmue 3 is going to suck major ass and anyone who believes otherwise is extremely good at lying to themselves and denying reality. And it was utterly predictable from the moment they announced a sequel to Shenmue, the most expensive game ever made at the time, would be kickstarted lmao.

 

[Liquid Shake]

The real question is will Tom make his glorious return in Shenmue 3?

What made Shenmue great doesn't need a big budget these days.

The large open world is small by today's standards. The insane details is standard these days. The real time elements are standard these days.

What will make or break the game will be the story and atmosphere.

For the record, I love Shenmue but I am not convinced they will do it justice all these years later - but the budget won't be what fucks it if it goes wrong.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So other than the shemnue thing is there actually any noteworthy news this Gamescom?

I feel like i haven't heard anything significant coming out of it.

Wasn't there supposed to be more Mario odyssey gameplay debuting? Also hoping for more rabbids

 

[- J - D -]

Why does Ryo look younger than he did in the last two games. Is this a prequel?

 

[Archaix]

Exquisite Corps is great. Dan's complete disregard for the lives of the non Dan crew, his early dismissal of smoke grenades, his late misuse of smoke grenades, it's all great.

B games return with Biomutant

that Fear Effect remaster.

Oh dip forgot about biomutant.

Though i think the screenshots deflated my hype a bit. Looked real rough.

Still interested in it.

 

[Gobias]

Abby should sacrifice Dan in the next Corps

Shenmue 3 is going to suck major ass and anyone who believes otherwise is extremely good at lying to themselves and denying reality..

So Shenmue fans will like it then.

BAM

A game focused on cinematic storytelling, deep combat, realistically rendered environments with lots of interaction, and "modern" graphics not expensive? I don't think you're right about that.

 

[strafer]

That CoD4 mission Drew played.

It costs a fair bit more than Spelunky to make, but it doesn't need to be the most expensive game ever like it used to be. It can achieve all that with a modest budget.

I mean they already skimped on the graphics part, so they should have more budget for the other stuff.

 

[Incandenza]

Fuckin howling at this Shenmue III trailer

The UE4 tech demo aesthetic
The complete lack of facial movement on Ryo
The multiple title drops

Gawdddd

Authentic Dreamcast standard.

 

[Infinite Justice]

People are already drinking the kool aid in that thread.

I hope for their sake Suzuki delivers.

 

[Backfoggen]

Shenmue 3 looks scary.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Authentic Dreamcast standard.

At this point wouldn't most shemnue fans just want to see the story concluded? The other parts doesn't seem as important for this particular project.

Looking at something like the Yakuza games other than the graphical fidelity the other parts aren't exactly super high budget stuff either.

 

[strafer]

I just want a Shenmue 2 endurance run.

 

[Catvoca]

People are already drinking the kool aid in that thread.

"No don't you realise? The game will obviously look perfect in a year's time and you're the crazy one for saying it looks bad!"

As a BIG Shenmue fan I an honestly furious that somehow the game is finally being made and it still won't be concluded in 3.

That probably is to do with budget, but we could find ourselves in the same cliffhanger situation.

 

[J_Viper]

Being published by Deep Silver is Shenmue 3's death knell

 

[Jintor]

That CoD4 mission Drew played.

it's been so long since i played it and it's still dope as fuck

 

[Data West]

One day I want to find out what the deal with GTA online is

That teaser was hilarious to me. I mean no ill towards Shenmue, but this game is going to be bad.

 

[Data West]

 

[Curufinwe]

I like Aloy, but the rest of the characters in Horizon and the story interactions with them aren't great so far. Rost's delivery is so flat it's almost comical. I'm only about six hours in but I want to finish it before I start Uncharted LL.

 

[Twin Tails]

To Live and Die on Murder Island

A chicken dinner is waiting. A hundred killers are on the loose. And the Island of Murders is about to explode.

 

[Liquid Shake]

I can see your eyeballs

Only Lance Reddick is any good

the voice acting in ths game is also wildly inconsistent

 

[Twin Tails]

alex not aiming down sights was pretty bad

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I loved Aloy's VA, she's come a long ways since Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin?

Also I hope that Biomutant game comes together, I really like the art design in those screenshots.

 

[Hindl]

Shenmue looks like garbage

 

[BTA]

Wasn't the Jurassic World thing a port of a phone game?

Which... not to dismiss phone games. But it sounded like that deflated some hype?

It's all extremely bad, which is extremely good, to me. It doesn't even have an art style. It's glorious. The mental gymnastics people will have to keep doing to avoid the cognitive dissonance are worth the money the kickstarter raised

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh whatever.

I hope the shemnue fans get a game they can enjoy.
