How hard is it? They managed to port Sega Bass fishing to PS3/360 and NO ONE wanted that.

Yeah I didn't have a chance to play the first one but I did play Shenmue II on Xbox and I never finished it though. :fp:

Lol yes but I was implying it's going to take eight years to develop.

They're so lifeless-like.

I like how they're more advanced looking than the older games and yet... worse.

That looks absolutely awful. One of the appeals, at least of the first game, was how technologically advanced it was and how this added to the immersion of living the life of the principle character. This looks like hot trash, like a fan made Virtua Fighter story mode.

That music though. Shivers.

Have to agree, backgrounds look OK, characters are abysmal :(

Looks like a trailer for a mobile game. How strawberry floating high is the hue saturation set?!

If their target was the original CGI artwork then they've nailed it.

Hopefully they'll add facial expressions during action scenes in due course.

Part of the issue for me is how two characters seem to have permanently illuminated faces.

The character models look exactly as I expected them to. The issue I think was that there was not even any eye movement animated which made it look very strange.

But if you were expecting the game to look drastically different to that then I don't think you were paying attention.

I expected it to keep its stylised character artstyle from previous games. I just want more signs of life and better lighting.

Oh well, at least the game world doesn't look like gooseberry fool.

Aye, game world looks spot on. Here's hoping the faces are fixed before release.

I agree with Hugo in that it's exactly how I expected it to look, as it should be. However, a little more facial animation wouldn't go amiss.

I watched the trailer this morning before reading anyone's reaction. I came here to post and pleased (but sad) that everyone's reaction seems to be the same. Great music, great backgrounds. But the characters look like they've been taken straight out of the Dreamcast/PS1 era and update with 1080p graphics and high res textures. They look blocky and stilted. So bad are they I wondering if this is not down to poor quality control but perhaps a deliberate decision by Yu Suzuki to have them match the original games? If so then the decision is wrong because dated graphics spoil the immersion.

Not quite the same but Tim Schafer left Grim Fandango with the original graphics and all the media raved about its authenticity and criticised anyone who wanted fresh graphics. But in subsequent Tim Schafer re-releases he updated the graphics!
