I wonder what graphical improvments would shenmue 4 have over shenmue3, if it would be released

No strange artifacts when raining or fishing,
I would be totally happy with just a polished rendition of actual graphics.
No strange artifacts when raining or fishing, no NPCs pop-ups, improved facial animations, etc...
Keep the wonderful color palette, lighting management and artistic design though!
I probably shouldn’t ask this as once these things are seen they can’t be unseen, but what artefacts are visible when fishing or when it’s raining?
It's hard to describe, but when you fish and move the fishing rod, there's some strange smearing appearing mainly on the water.
When it rains and you move, even more if you run, there's some sort of flickering in the wet grass.
Nothing too serious, but shows that some optimization would be welcome (PS4).
I just hope Yu Suzuki eventually comes out and states that he is aware of his misteps with Shenmue 3 and promises a better experience with 4 and has learned to devote his dev time to what matters. Its hard for me to get hyped for a shenmue 4 when I can't fathom wth Yu was thinking with Niaowu, the story, and cutting Baisha and the villains roles completely instead.
I thought, and still think he plain ran out of time and money. Even so, he made a complete game. I liked it. Not as a fanboy, if it was called something else, if it wasn't Ryo walking on the screen, I'd still say I liked it. It just felt a bit too late to come out. In 2010 it'd rock. Still we wanted it in 2004, it'd look way worse. Likely be short, maybe just one area. Voice acting in English would be the same. I saw a few negatives in S4, but not enough to completely ruin it for me.I dont think Yu Suzuki did those things on purpose thinking "I want to do things that arent good here" for two reasons:
- First, a game isn't the work of one person but a team.
- Second, the only thing you can blame him for was to try to please everyone. Although is it something you can blame someone for ?
I do wonder why he stated the combat in Shenmue III is superior to the combat in Shenmue I & II.. I wonder if it ended up as designed in his head because I think it's hard to believe he truly believes that. I can't remember where he said this, so I apologize for not providing a direct referenceI dont think Yu Suzuki did those things on purpose thinking "I want to do things that arent good here" for two reasons:

People are hung up on what they've grown up with. There are many reasons I think S3's combat fixed so much that was goofy in 1&2. If he had enough money, a bigger team, just adding the throws in would have made it much, much better. All that IMO.I do wonder why he stated the combat in Shenmue III is superior to the combat in Shenmue I & II..

He needs to hire a good expert at facial animation. He needs a system, a global system, as in at this second the emotion is smiling. I'm remembering modding an RPG long ago. A Bioware one with very good system for emotions on screen.I wonder what graphical improvments would shenmue 4 have over shenmue3, if it would be released
If we do see a Shenmue 4, it'll need pull in significantly better reviews than Shenmue 3. The 68 score on Metacritic is just abysmal. https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/shenmue-iii

Hyperbole from the guy that thought that the assets in 2017 trailer were final and we have to write to YS to fix it...How is 68 abysmal!?
