I personally think that even if we get S4, it will probably get a lower budget than S3.
And due to that I expect(Or predict ) these downgrades:
1.2D cutscenes replacing 3D cutscenes: Making 3D cutscenes is too expensive and because of that there is this chance of cutscenes becoming 2D pictures with voice acting.(Similar to Max Payne 1 but less comic book style)
2.QTE cutscenes becoming 2D.
3.Having much less voice acting outside of main cutscenes. So it means that you have to read texts when Ryo is talking to NPCs.
4.Removal of day/night cycles or some downgrade to it. For example: instantly changing the NPC positions after the game shows the change of time .(similar to Okami game.)
5.And finally reusing some of Shenmue 3 assets in Shenmue 4.(animations, character models, objects, buildings, textures etc)
Even if the game gets these downgrades, I think I would still enjoy playing it though.
