Jesus Christ, the animation and facial expressions are trash. Sega used to be so ahead in the area of 3D animation...now they've been reduced to this...

Sega isn't involved with the development of Shenmue 3, they just gave Yu Suzuki the rights to develop it. Shenmue 3 is being developed by YS Net, an indie team put together by Yu Suzuki. Sega is still great at animations, look at Yakuza 6:

Oh, thank God. That makes sense. I thought Sega would have at least put some resources into the project, that sucks.

This trailer looks like it was made in Source Filmmaker, lmao.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I can't blame SEGA. Shenmue is one of the reasons (in a list of many) they were broke around the Dreamcast era. In order for Shenmue to make profit they needed to sell more copies of the game than Dreamcasts sold. That game lost SEGA millions. It also effectively killed Yu's career at SEGA like Virtual Boy killed Gunpei's.

Yeah, I guess that's how Konami felt about Metal Gear...only to my understanding Metal Gear was profitable. I guess I can understand why Sega wouldn't want to tocuh it as Suzuki would have probably went way over budget. And I think Yokoi left Nintendo on his own will. The Virtual Boy was a disaster but after the success that was the Gameboy, I think Nintendo's higher ups, yamauchi, etc. wouldn't have gotten rid of him that fast. But I digress, I just hope they improve the animations before launch.

Double 



Would have more money had they announced its coming to Xbox as well. Fuck that game are my feelings now about it.



Interesting rushed trailer.

Gunpei was shamed and basically put in a corner with nothing to do. Japan does that. They shame employees into a corner. He didn't have much choice but to quit.



It looks okay, about what I expected. Environments are better and character animations are worse. Just hope the game turns out all right.
