Ryu model is ok, but Shenhua doesn't look like herself. Loving the setting though.
Ryo looks cross eyed and the girl looks like a mannequin. Or is that just me?
That... isn't reassuring.
I don't know, his location design stuff is damn good. He GETS what Shenmue should look like.

I don't like the insinuation I'm not seeing clearly on this.It's not because of realism. It just looks painfully bad. Be honest to yourself, these look worse than DC era CG renders of Shenmue... heck even worse than Passport models.
It's because of the design and also because of really cheap textures/look. They look like a European knockoff point and click. And they definitely look more westernised.
This is how Shenua looks:
GAF overreacting as always
Let's just wait for Gamescon and see the game in motion before the "Shenmue III is doomed" talk okay?
Here's a comparison of different Ryo faces with similar lighting to that of the new render:

The Shenmue III model looks better and better the more I look at it. Pretty badass. Those saying the passport model looks better are...very wrong.
Yes, the art isn't great -- the models have been Photoshopped onto an unrelated background, but don't let that ruin the models for you.
It's the font and design elements that are killer. Especially the font.

I don't know how you can say these are worse than DC when I literally posted an image of DC Ryo earlier in the thread that is almost 1:1 a faithful update of that design.
Although Shenhua might need some retooling and both will probably be tweaked before the end of production, they're recognisable as the characters they're meant to be and largely analogous to how they've looked in certain key art from the past games. (Although the key art in the old games has inconsistent design leading to a lot of this "oh it doesn't look like X art" when it is faithful to another piece instead).
You really should go back and look at the E3 2015 models. They looked cheap then. There is seriously such a gulf of difference between now and then, and the trajectory has only been towards improvement for the most part.

From the company that only puts out 60 Metacritic or lower games comes... Shenmue III!
C'mon son. Anybody who's been on GAF more than one release cycle knows this ain't true. I've never seen more pearl-clutching anxiety, alarmist rhetoric, and unfounded panic than on this forum.Almost everytime GAF overreacts it's for a good reason, and most of the times the overreaction ends up being justified.

This is a design problem, and Ryo here looks more westernised. It's in the hair/eyes/skin tone.

Sega none other than licensing. Sony traded some sort of exclusivity for their e3 press spotlight.So what exactly is the extent of Sony's and Sega's involvement in Shenmue 3?
Ah, that's interesting.
Has Ryo forgotten he has band-aid on his face?
It's still there, you can just barely see it due to the shading.
A game that was not developed with a single cent of Deep Silver's money or any editorial oversight from Deep Silver. Also, isn't it English only with FIGS left in the dust?
This looks freaking great man. Im Happy.A user at Shenmue Dojo posted this higher res composition of the new models:

Of course everything in the world can be improved, but I really like them. And with the budget and time constraints a game like this has, I think these are more than enough and they should focus their resources in other areas of the game.
Ryo looks good imo. Shen looks a bit off, but I'm not too bothered by it. It's still WIP so things could change. Aside from that I can't wait to see gameplay.
