I have to wonder exactly where they're going to get the money for the rest of the development, though. The original games cost quite a bit of money to make, and Shenmue III must cost an exponential amount two generations later. |
Actually, Shenmue III will probably be far cheaper to make than the originals. The game will no longer be right up on the cutting edge of technology. So much voice acting etc, doing the lip synching, animations etc was all far more expensive back in the last 90s than it is now with lots of middleware and tools to do all of that. Previously it all had to be done bespoke for the games.
I also don't think Shenmue 3 is planning too be anything like the technical tour de force the original games were.
