Just a fun little aside, but Swery65 was in the audience during Yu's presentation.
Ray Tracing is not yet ready for the mass market though. So your comment is still funny in a manner speaking. It is not eve nclear if the so called next gen hardware will support Ray Tracing at all. Maybe in S4 this might be a possibility but not in 3. I also do think they will re release it on the next gen. For a Next Gen Game Shenmue does not look good enough. But let's wait and see.
Would have been 4.9 or earlier, but you can update the engine while still working on your game/project, which they undoubtedly have done throughout production.Shenmue 3 is most likely based on an earlier version of UE4, just before they implemented raytracing. I'm not sure what version UE4 was on at the time Shenmue 3 began production.... Maybe 4.18?
Sooooo, now the full HD versions are available I've done my usual thing and delved into the metadata.
All of the screens, including even the forklift one, are apparently from... the 4th of June 2018.
I'm not totally certain this is accurate, but at the same time the metadata hasn't been incorrect before. Puzzling, really, really puzzling.
EDIT: I'm more willing to believe the "2019" watermark for these screens than the metadata at this point, but who knows, really?

I don't really know.Could the screenshots have been taken long ago then watermarked ? Would the metadata be changed if so ?
I dunno.In the reboot event Suzuki showed several old pictures we've already seen with the "new ones" so It wouldn't surprise me these new screens are from 2018.
Yu could just be up to his old Am2 tricks again. Fooling us and keeping the real build close till launch.I dunno.
I'm skeptical about why shots from 2018 would be watermarked "2019" and sat on for nearly a full year, only to be used in a panel with Yu Suzuki where they conveniently explain the content he wants to talk about.
I think it might be more likely the metadata is somehow wrong in this case.
Certainly interetsing and just say Metadata was correct it would fit with the previous strategy from Shenmue 1 and 2 where, from what I remember, we saw very little of the finished game until very close to release. Could the same trick be applied here? If so then we could have something that blows all expectations out of the water!Sooooo, now the full HD versions are available I've done my usual thing and delved into the metadata.

Presumably named after the Deep Purple song, Yu is a fan after all.Looks like the game's name will is "Highway Star".
@[U]高野和泉[/U] Yes Yu-san is brilliant, no doubt about it. He is my favourite japanese developer right now. There are other good developers too, but unlike other stars in the japanese Gaming World, like Kojima or Mikami, Suzuki seems the only developer to pull off a real Sequel.
The other devs I mentioned are horrible with sequals. The Change the game with every new entry, just to scrap the ideas in the next entry. Suzuki on other thand seems to maintain the Shenmue-ness of Part 3 even after 20 years. The Sequel still looks and feels like Shenmue.
Interesting to note - the arcade screenshot is named "Chobu Arcade". Guess it isn't Bailu after all.
