Wraps up in about five minutes or so.How much longer until the yu press conference is finished?
That's a nice tree.
I really like the look of the game, it still looks like Shenmue but better, like a modern Dreamcast game.

"Yu Suzuki would like more strategy and interaction in the fighting"
Something I'm super excited for in Shenmue 3 is the fighting system, so this is very interesting stuff for me.
Yu spoke quite passionately about how important the look and feel of Shenmue is to the experience, and I'd doubt he'd settle for less than a proper evolution of the series. It's nice to see the team showing results this early though, and they've probably only been working on it since September-October time.Yep.
I was afraid they wouldn't be able to retain the same look and go for something more realistic, but these shots and vids are the perfect evolution of the classic Shenmue aesthetics.
In my heart i had settled for a game that continued the story of Shenmue, i backed the kickstarter but tbh i didn't have great expectations. From what we have seen so far though, this isn't just 'a Shenmue game after 2', this is the Shenmue 3 people have been dreaming of.
That's a nice tree.
What? No, you're incorrect here.We haven't hit the money tier for that :/
We'll get AI that will throw the odd punch or kick....ha
"It’s a system that will make the character respond intelligently to the commands given by the player during battle. With simple commands you’ll be able to execute complex techniques."
At this point Suzuki-san showcased how it’ll work visually, showing that if the player and the enemy are not correctly aligned, pressing the punch button without the system would cause the player to hit the air, punching straight in front of him. With this intelligent system, the character will perform steps to dynamically align with the enemy, coming at them with a hook motion.
Another example shown by Suzuki-san involved a situation with a wall close to the character and the enemy, with the character jumping on the wall and then punching the enemy in mid-air in a movie-like attack.

Yeah, but devs say many things and Suzuki had been out of the loop for a while.
Not that i had doubted the game was being made out of passion and not business, but like i said, I had settled for any game titled Shenmue 3.
But this is shaping up to be THE Shenmue 3 and i'll probably go drop some more money on it right now
What? No, you're incorrect here.
The AI Battling System has been described by Yu Suzuki as:
It has nothing to do with actual enemy combat AI.
I wouldn't say he's out of the loop. People think Yu vanished without a trace from 2001 onwards, but he was still leading AM2 until almost the end of the decade and still regularly attended trade shows and developer events like GDC. It's important to note he also accurately predicted that the new consoles would use PC-like architecture and made the same smart decision that a lot of huge Japanese game devs are making in regards to using UE4 for fast, efficient development. He's got his finger on the pulse of the industry more than people think.Yeah, but devs say many things and Suzuki had been out of the loop for a while.

You might want to re-read the quote I cited. The AI Battling System relates to the PLAYER, not the enemy AI.No that doesn't, but the increased strategy would come with an improved enemy AI that fights harder and more intelligently. So from that point of view it's probably going to be more limited unless we can hit the next tier.
Maybe if they can get Christopher Walken as the VA.Fake Ryo should be an NPC.

Of all the things to be worried about, this man's ability to make a fantastic game shouldn't be one of them.

So it seems they're reusing a lot of the music from the first two games. Nothing wrong with that since that music is amazing. I do hope that Shenmue III will have a few tunes of its own, though.
Those screenshots recall to me the first two games, in both art direction and ambiance, and that's what's most important I think, that Shenmue 3 feels like the Shenmue of yore. I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out; it all feels like it's coming together now.
I hope Shenmue is somehow represented at E3 this year. It seems way too early to showcase anything of 3 on stage, so I'd love to see a HD Collection announcement!
As long as the PayPal is open, the sky is the limit. I wouldn't discount us reaching $7 million eventually.Ok yeah I misread it, but it's irrelevant unless we can get another $450k.
It's Shenhua's theme!

Not sure if Google translate is being screwy, but Yu says we'll see the new Ryo and Shenhua models "soon". I'm wondering if we're not quite done with Shenmue III news today. Cedric implied Shenmue fans might want to catch the "Shibuya Productions Crazy Time" at 4:45PM CET.Here is a transcript of the conference: http://www.gameblog.fr/news/57097-conference-shenmue-3-graphismes-combats-visages-des-personna
It's in French but you'll probably be able to get the gist of it using Google Translation.
Hiring Nocon Kid was such a good move.

Looks like they're capturing the style pretty well.
