My biggest problem is that the characters don't even look like the same art style as the world they're in.
If you add the facial animations with your imagination, this scene actually look pretty hype.
People need to stop exagerate when they see early work in progress footage. Then again, it was foolish from the developpers to show such an unfinished work to a big audience, because the reaction was to be expected.
Holy shit it's beautiful. What a long way the came has come since the early stuff.
I'm going to feel really bad for Yu Suzuki if this game isn't beloved at release. The expectations are unrealistically high (including from me, just because of how long this has had to gain momentum all the way since 2). I'm not sold on some of the visual aspects and am not sure they can deliver the game we expect, but... I'm in either way.
I meant to say 6, I have honestly never played any of the Yakuza games up to this point and I had no idea what the current game is numbered. Honestly, I need to get into that series at some point... but there are so many games in that series now, I have no idea where to start.
I agree with the hair, especially the really sharp widows peak he has now. Looks really off.Ryo's face is off, and I'm not talking (just) about the lack of animation. His hair looks weird too.
This is a Dreamcast render:
I always said they should have Sonic Mania'd it and made it with all the Dreamcast assets and whatnot, just with better textures and the Passport models. Then we wouldn't have to be looking at this UE4 Student Project.
Yea, it's questionable how much could actually be repurposed really. With that said though, I think if people were going to use graphics as a stick to beat the game with, I would imagine that'd end up being the case regardless due to budget. One thing I think low-poly assets would definitely have helped with in that regards would have been to mask obvious budget constraints when it comes to animations (and potential voiceovers), as the more advanced the graphics become the more these things stand out if not improved to the same extent. I would have wanted them to use a more modern engine regardless though, and make use of stuff like a proper lighting model for day/night cycles. No point not taking advantage of improvements you'd effectively be getting for free.
Looks like a 4k Shenmue 2.
I don't care about the faces.
I don't care about bad animation.
I don't care about the odd lighting.
I will get this game, fall into its story and be lost in its world because I believe in Yu Suzuki's vision.
wth, is he supposed to be walking? lolinspired by
I didn't realize MDickie was on the development team.

This is a Dreamcast render:
Start with 0. It's a prequel to the first game and is the most recent game released for western audiences as I type this post. It's also an amazing game. If you like that, a remake of Yakuza 1 releases on ps4 next week.
*ding dong*
Gif delivery.
That's not an in game model though. It is being rendered on the Dreamcast, but it is also just a higher polygon head bust that was designed to be a tech demo for the Dreamcast hardware. The actual in-game models are lower polygon, with lower resolution textures.
But I kinda agree that Ryo's model looks a little bit off from the original Shenmue models.
I'm sure I'll love just being able to experience Shenmue 3 almost regardless of what happens
But, I still wish they had just used high res Dreamcast assets to make the game
It would have been a lot cheaper and helped make a larger scale game more possible at a lower budget. Would likely have saved them a lot of time. Maybe could have even been done by now.
I think you are looking for a book.Honestly, I just want a good story, even if I have to suffer through the gameplay, it will be worth it.
I expect a game that is very dated in terms of mechanics and very rough in terms of it's presentation.
Please deliver a good story!
Er, the environments look good. Almost kind of feel like Ryo looked better in the Deamcast games.
