i know Shenmue isn't owned by Sony

 

but Uncharted's gamne budget was an estimate.

 

Uncharted is one of the big games with a low budget of $20m which is on the low side for big games

 

so if they don't have Uncharted budget for Shenmue 3 then the game is most probably very bad.

 

But i know they are funding it in some way so i am relaxed

Yes, an estimate of what kind of game can be made with said budget, but even then we're forgetting about the engine, the artists, the art style in general, which we've already seen from numerous AAA and AA games, all with varying budgets, but also looking good and decent as well.

There are games out there with far higher budgets, and then we have AA games with lower budgets than UC.

No, just because they don't have that exact amount of money does not mean their game will be objectively bad, that's not how it works. You *think* that's what will happen, but that's your *opinion*, not an objective fact. Please do not confuse the two.

I'm more chill with the fact that Deep Silver are funding and publishing the game, rather than anything from Sony's end.
