New Shenmue III Website (Japanese) [NEW VIDEO INTERVIEW]

[KiddMarine]

Most important detail: Yu's striped shirt is back!

 

[GhostTrick]

Notice they got rid of that camera box icon thing (I don't know the term) when you zoom in with Ryo. Thank God! That was really tacky.

HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT
It looks a thousand times better this way !

 

[Let's Get Sweaty]

People weren't lying when they said some character models are better than others.

 

[Spaghetti]

I hope the wooden dummy cafe is never explained.

 

[GhostTrick]

I hope the wooden dummy cafe is never explained.

Me neither.

 

[mjqjazzbar]

I hope the wooden dummy cafe is never explained.

This is probably the most Shenmue shot I’ve seen to date

 

[Van Joel Sandwich]

Chobus is going to be so cool!
I wonder if there's gonna be a percentage for game completion.
If there's a way to 100% this game I'm gonna do it!

 

[Switch]

Translation completed. It covers all of Yu's commentary & the miscellaneous captions seen in some of the clips.

P.S. The wooden dummy cafe is not explained.

 

[Van Joel Sandwich]

This dude totaly gets it!! haha

 

[moon child]

Ren's description screams of an eventual betrayal of Ryo.

Is there a translated version of his description anywhere ?

Does the cafe use the honor system? Who receives payment and who serves the product!? Fuck it, who makes the product? They are wooden dummies. Not only wood but dumb asses too.

 

[Zoyous]

The wooden dummy cafe sounds like a 4am idea to me! Weirdly brilliant, but rather odd when considered after a full night's sleep. ?

 

[Dietsoap]

lmao

 

[高野和泉]

The fact that Yu is still having fun taking risks on idiosyncratic contents among the immense pressure to deliver a game of "Shenmue" quality is the stuff industry legends are made of.

[bcdcdude]

The wooden café is a stroke of genius.

And people say there are no original ideas left...

I secretly hope that cats will come in and use them as a scratching post!

 

[Reprise]

I secretly hope that cats will come in and use them as a scratching post!

Haha genius idea!

 

[Van Joel Sandwich]

Oh ohhhhh
Chobu-chan spoted!! Give me my phone card already. I must call Nozomi!

Yea, but what I find even more amazing, is how Yu Suzuki kept the team on track+organized when the projections were all over the place for this game, amidst multiple funding changes.

It's unreal(no pun intended), anyone else handling a major project like this, going through that, would cause the game to be in development hell, where as Shenmue 3s development went rather smooth.

Prolly the Vet experience back in Sega when he delivered with a staff of 200 and S1&2 becoming game of the decade played a good reference.
