We were hacked. Several times over the past two weeks, in fact.

Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
Hey look, it's a teaser trailer for Shenmue III. It features some lovely environmental art and uh... I'll just say it, those character models, specifically the faces, look downright terrible. I can only assume (hope) that the models are still very much a work in progress.
The first teaser of Shenmue III is built from a small slice of an in-development build of the game, and it delivers small peeks in new look of main characters, new characters, and feels of Shenmue world.
Models and animations look like it was meant for the PlayStation 3. Hmm... Will need to wait until they show another video after a few more passes before I can really give any valid opinion though. I feel like we were supposed to treat this as none of this will be going into the final product as is.
Relating animation quality to platforms doesn't really work, motion capture gave Link some nice looking animations in Ocarina of Time though i'm sure there are older examples, i'm blanking on great examples of facial animation in the PS2 era (in-engine) so i'll only go back as far as Half Life 2, which came out the year before the previous generation of consoles.
The beefy looking guy Ryo is fighting is definitely supposed to look like a cartoon, if they're adopting an "art style" for this game it's not reflected in the environments or by the other characters, this project may need some help.
I'm a Shenmue fan and a backer of this game, i hope it comes together... or that it doesn't scare Sega away from releasing HD versions of the first two...

I remembered being impressed with the Pierce Brosnan they did for Nightfire on the PS2 and watched a video; I think they're going for something stylistically here rather than technological. I mean the PS2 was actually able to pull off animations like that, never mind PS3. They were able to pull off pretty good face mapping back a generation earlier.
That said, I hate their choices for Shenmue 3, if they are representative of the actual: The Dreamcast version has the same cross-eyed look for Ryu, as well as the "I hate the world" almost-fist-like hands at all times. The environments back then looked wonderful; their making these ones evolve with the technology is incredibly jarring with the cartoon style for the characters. Y YU DO THIS?

A launch trailer for Shenmue 3 was released today ahead of its November 19 release date. I'm sure this is a trailer few thought you would actually see, especially with the questionable crowdfunding campaign and Epic exclusive shenanigans that have gone on.
But if you stuck with the game through all of that and are still somehow looking forward to Shenmue 3, next week is your week. Let's see what PlayStation 4 and Epic Games Store...
The release date for Shenmue III was announced today as Gamescom 2018 officially kicked off. Deep Silver and YS Net Inc. announced that Shenmue III will release on August 27, 2019 for the PlayStation 4 and PC.

Shenmue III sees the continuation of the beloved epic saga which won fans over with its distinct storytelling and immersive atmosphere. In Shenmue III, players will aide teenage martial artist
If you've been following the Shenmue 3 development saga for any length of time, you are probably well aware of a few things. First, you are probably well aware that the game pulled in over $6.3 million on Kickstarter alone. After the Kickstarter run ended, it used another service to keep collecting from fans that wanted to help fund the game. The total amount pledged rose to almost $7.2 million. Deep Silver was then selected as the game's...
