It was last March that I knew that this was the Shenmue III... Not that everyone had been waiting for, but what I had been waiting for, for 16 years. I understand no one had trust in what I was saying back then, and probably still don't now. But, the positivity that I am now reading fills me with as much joy as E3 2015.
People are now starting to see it. Get it. Feel it. Understand it. We are living in the era of negativity, and yes there will be gripes. But to any Shenmue fan worth his/her salt, I will reiterate this one more time;
This is Shenmue III. Yea footage has looked dodgy in the past, but what do you expect? They have had Kickstarter backers breathing down their necks from day 1, culminating in a pressured Gamescom 2017 reveal. They learned from that, and as frustrating as it has been, they kept mum, and got stuck in. Put it this way, if this is what a 30 second cam job does to you folks, what's a trailer, or full on gameplay direct feed footage going to do to you?
Maybe we will find out very soon enough...
