:what:Shenmue 2 did make it to the US. Not sure why you would have ordered the PAL version. Sounds like a load of :SCROOGEJUMP: if you ask me because it came out for.....
That aside. Shenmue 3 looks, smells, and will likely be :trash:.
Shenmue 1 will always be special to me for what it accomplished in its time.
Shenmue 2 wasn't as good as the first and 3 has taken so long to come out that I personally don't think it matters anymore.
I would like to see Shenmue 3 succeed and be able to finish what started out to be an epic story, but I don't see that happening.
I've made this argument before, even in this thread.
The Yakuza series is everything Shenmue wanted to be, and in the US, Yakuza is completely overlooked among the vast majority.
Shenmue 2 shyt on part one breh:stopitslime:

The graphics need to be incredible. Even if they opt for a certain aesthetic or art style instead of hyper realism, it needs to be dope.

A lot of Shenmue's appeal came from the incredible visuals at the time and the attention to detail with the environments

The internet (and media) will tear the game apart to shreds before anyone even has the chance to play it if it looks like shyt

Take all the time they need to ensure it comes out worthy of the name

I love shenmue at the time because it pushed the envelope but it really doesn't hold up.

Yakuza took shenmues spot and ran with it.

I honestly dont even see myself buying it when it finally does drop.

If you do the math. The budget for Shenmue III is adding up lowkey towards mid to high tier AAA level development. :ld:

Let's look at all parties involved. Kickstarter raised about 8 million alone. Since Deep Silver got involved with support, the game has gotten another delay which means more money poured into the budget. Yu Suzuki has hired the same company who did Uncharted to help with the character models.

You add in additional funding from Sony and possibly Sega on the DL and it's feasible to say Shenmue III is being developed on about a 25-30 million dollar budget :gladbron:

To put that into perspective, on average the Yakuza games receive about a 20 million dollar budget per game and you see what kinda fire Sega dropped with that.

Honestly just knowing that Yu Suzuki can develop this game at his own pace and not be restricted by budget concerns has me thinking that Shenmue III is going to shut a lot of haters up. Even though we got a few progress trailers, we still don't really know wtf is gonna happen in Shenmue III or how it plays. We really aint seen shyt yet. We don't even know what Lan Di looks like in PS4 graphics yet.

The truth is that none of us have actually seen real time gameplay footage yet. :lupe:

Recently the VA for Ryo had this to say about the game and it legit has me in chills

"The hardware has since evolved, and now witnessing the improved quality of Shenmue, I get goose bumps all over again thinking if this is what Yu-san had seen all along."




Shenmue III gonna be legit brehs. We almost to the finish line :mjcry:

Preordered 1 and 2 from Amazon never played a shenmue game before
Honestly I can't imagine they hold up that well.

Shenmue at the time was incredible. There was nothing else like it. This was a pre GTA 3 world. But I can't see how it would hold up personally.

Still,I'll probably cop the remastered ones.
