[!!SPOILERS!!] Datamined Info - Discussion Thread (Backer Demo)

[Gen]

What's up with the weird hair color? Some kind of shading error?

 

[Esppiral]

Yup Shading issue.

 

[GhostTrick]

Are the models the same ingame and during cutscenes ? And if not, would there be a way to replace the ingame ones with cutscenes ones ?

I imagine they’re the same models just rendered at a much higher resolution but I’m not sure ?

Here is the video of the sequence break, along with a spoiler-free description of what story content it contains to decide if you want to watch.

Basically, it's Ryo investigating the inside of one of the houses in Bailu.
If you watch the video, you'll learn which house it is, who lives there and what he is looking for in the house. You will not learn why he looking for what he finds there. I don't actually open the inventory during this video to show you a close up of what Ryo gets, but my previous spoiler post describes the purpose of what he finds. We also don't know what he is going to do with what he finds.

If you're okay with an out of context investigation that takes place late in the Bailu chapter of the game, enjoy watching.

@Jibby can we post about the game informer stuff in here?

 

[sbkodama]

I have one question about character models, is Joy here ?

 

[Streamer]

Wow!

Wow! Could you upload the Landi textures please? I would try to use them for retexturing Shenmue I and integrate them in my HD texture pack.
Maybe you could explain how are you accessing to the models/assets in the future. It can be very useful for retexturing the old game.

 

[ShenmueTree]

Decided to write an overview of Bailu Villiage, I felt this thread was most appropriate since the overview contains datamined information. This is incomplete and will be updated. Suggestions for categories and color coding welcome. Also I'd like to ask if I could use images from @Esppiral 's , @Sappharad 's @Sir Quackberry's screenshots and videos to go along with the overview. All information will be exclusive to this thread until the release of the game. All images will be credited.

@ShenmueTree Sure go ahead.

BTW the amount of clothes customization for Ryo is insane!!! I'll post some screenshots later, but the outfit from this early concept art seems that will be available.

Spoiler

Something similar to the rener I did some time ago.

Spoiler

Edit this is in the game files for Ryo's clothes.

Does he have things that aren't shit, pants, jacket? Like accessories such as ear rings, hats, etc?

 

[Esppiral]

Haven't found anything like that.. yet.

I've found alt costumes for Shenhua too

No wonder everyone who fights him, always runs away...

 

[chronopolis]

Thank God!

 

[ShenmueTree]

Shenhua's costumes are most likely DLC only.

I wonder if that green outfit is actually mandatory to wear later on in the game or completely optional.

Whenever it is doesn't matter. I'll be wearing it. I feel like people wants to keep the jacket when it doesn't make sense anymore. If anything, Ryo should've dropped it in Guilin considering it might be hot af. :")

 

[Jibby]

@Jibby can we post about the game informer stuff in here?

Yes, I don't have any issues with that.

 

[ShenmueTree]

I am thinking all those fancy dresses that @Esppiral found might actually be for Niao Sun. What if there’s a twist and she is actually on Ryo’s side for a while?
