>steals $6m from Shenmue fans >accepts another $10m from EPIC games anyway fucking lmao, based Suzuki pulled his second biggest scam ever (the first being to convince Sega to spend all the money funding the first Shenmue)
About 70% of the dev team are probably chilling on a carribean island right now whilst three people make this shit on Unity
I bet they used the old engine, just slightly improved upon graphically to keep costs down, and like OP said cash in.
Nolan Morris
I think I read somewhere that yu suzuki knows the animations look like shit right now and intends to improve it.
Henry Watson
i'm honestly very impressed with how well they captured the dreamcast spirit. in a good way.
Sebastian Martin
>steals
you retards donated, blame yourself
Robert Lee
Sure is efficient in his time
Wyatt Murphy
I am not "donating" to any more crowd funding campaigns until Kickstarter does something to protect backers from Epic. I am not going to use Kickstarter to give Epic an interest-free loan to go scouting for acqusitions with.
Epic is pretty much killing crowd funding for everyone and it's in these platforms best interest to stop them.
Robert Diaz
this, the stilted dialogue and budget voice acting sounds like it came straight from the 2000s
Adam Harris
Isn't that the point?
Nolan Davis
Seething steam cuck
Cooper Hernandez
Shenmue 3 is boring though. Why is it set in China again? I was hoping fo some comfy rural suburb like in Shenmue 1
Oliver Gonzalez
Because the narrative of II lead Ryo to China to chase Lan Di.
It's unreal engine 4. You think this new team actually has access to old Sega tech or the talent required to use it? Pfffffft!
Angel Moore
Explain to me why I should not just pirate a game if it is Epic Game Store exclusive. The end product is better because there's no DRM and does not require an Epic game store login, and it works fine with Steam. The developer has already been paid for their work by Tencent, so that means they don't need my money, and I can get the game for free.
Maybe if Epic would actually make a user interface, service and community that is better than Steam I would actually choose their store instead of Steam instead of just pirating all these games they are throwing money at. The whole reason Steam works is because people like the experience better than pirating, whereas with Epic people would rather pirate than put up with their store.
Tyler Robinson
If they were actually providing healthy competition, I would agree. But running a shitty barebones service and buying exclusivity is not good for the consumer. You are actual cucks for defending it.
Jackson Sanchez
you should kill yourself. it would be better for everyone.
Noah Peterson
Kill yourself in minecraft.
Robert Morgan
explain to me why using a different launcher for a single game is such a massive pain in the ass for you. pirate the game. get it for ps4. wait for the exclusive deal to end. but stop trying to latch onto this as some sort of crusade for consumer rights because it's gay as fuck and nobody is buying it.
Carter King
I don't think so. Why they want to be bad instead of good/decent? If yes, why the japanese dub is way better?
Tyler Morris
I still can't believe this game is really happening desu feels surreal to watch gameplay footage
Evan Wright
Epic Game Store is cancerware. Your data is neither private or secure, and I already have enough bloat on my computer. Why do developers feel entitled to make me have another always-on background task running in my system tray? Especially when I can just pirate the games and avoid the problem completely?
Steam has a plethora of features that I actually enjoy using. Epic has none, and it comes with a bunch of crap that I am not letting near my computer. I am keeping Tencent out of my life wherever I can.
Josiah Price
Because the style of the old games is what gave it a certain charm that got it's fanbase in the first place.
So Epic is finally doing something good then. The crowd funding shit has been infested with scams for a long time, it deserves to die.
Benjamin Butler
Man, this is the biggest vidya scam in a while isn't it? >has a fake kickstarter even though they're already funded >uses it as free marketing >makes 6 million bucks in the process >gets funding from sony anyway >then takes money from deep silver >AND takes money from epic >spends approximately $2.49 in production values on making the actual game >splits the money between as few team members as possible, takes it and runs >ending of the game isn't even the conclusion, they're baiting for a sequel for even MORE money God damn this is actually funny. It's like The Producers or something. I feel bad for the backers though.
Isaiah Adams
it's literally just UE4, you dope
Josiah Cook
Hardly comparable. This is more like if you paid a thot for her nudes, she says she will send them to you over discord, and then at the last minute she tells you you'll have to make an epic game store account and use it whenever you want to look at them.
Christian Smith
Be that as it may, if Kickstarter lets Epic keep getting away with this then they deserve to lose their place in the gaming market.
Xavier Cooper
I agree, I just don‘t see why Yea Forums needs to be upset about the death of scamstarter.
Hudson Jackson
>The developer has already been paid for their work by Tencent, so that means they don't need my money, and I can get the game for free.
Yu Suzuki has always been sucking of China, him selling out to Chinese game distribution makes a lot of sense.
Wyatt Rogers
The cucks who fund Kickstarters deserve to be scammed.
Michael Miller
Epic guarantees devs a certain amount of sales. Even if no one plays it, epic will pay them as if the game did sell. Tim essentially pays for everyone's copy
Connor Campbell
Game developer: >I am making this game and it will be on Steam. Customer: >It looks good, I will buy it. Here's my money. Epic: >Hey developer, I see the gamers are throwing a lot of money at that Steam game of yours! I'll give you even more money if you make it exclusive to Epic Store! Customer: >Fuck you guys, I am just going to pirate it now. Developer: >Epic already paid us so we'll be alright Epic: >Daddy Tencent, please send us more venture capital! Our store still isn't profitable!
The funny thing is that this is actually true. Please post this on the Shenmue Dojo and Shenmue Reddit page. They will all just hate you.
Hunter Clark
Stop seething Valve slaves. Steam and epic are the same trash. There's nothing worth defending the SJW company obsessed with censorship and SJW puritanism. You are just being useful idiots.
Samuel Thomas
After buying that new RTX card I was pretty broke and I couldn't have afforded Metro Exodus anyway, but it's nice that now I can actually try out raytracing on something.
it will never not be funny to me that epic is so shit as a store that it's shills have to go to the steam forums to talk shit.
James Sanchez
Tell that to Rance.
Oliver Lewis
shut up incel, they dont owe you anything have sex
Daniel Rodriguez
Now just add Denuvo to their game and the Salt is complete
Isaiah Myers
>a user interface, service and community You need all that just to play Shenmue III? Are steambabies not capable of playing a game if it doesn’t have a workshop or some other useles crap like forums?
Jace Collins
I backed for a ps4 copy. But i understand the rage from folks who suppirted for a steam copy. Fuck DeepSilver and fuck China.
Camden Richardson
>look at faq >it's coming to Steam later Why are you faggots mad again? Just pirate it and if you want it in your steam library for whatever reason, buy it when it releases on Steam. You're missing out on literally nothing but having it in your library until it releases on Steam
Connor Richardson
these hoes are ruthless but the omgea male always asks for it
Daniel Moore
>not on steam? how the fuck am I gonna show other shenmue fans my cropped hentai avatar and 10 years running badge collection?
I wish there was a way to see how many people that are buying this game actually played the first 2. I wouldn't doubt if people are getting this because of the Sony E3 reactions.
youtu.be/ROKhVOFkZfs?t=740 Controversy aside, I'm liking the gameplay they've shown us thus far, they really nailed the shenmue feel in this one.
Brandon Allen
looks like some unity porn game
Isaac Watson
that actually looks nice,i like how the new toys look
Camden Perez
I only played the first game, didn't you use to buy stuff in stores by actually browsing the shelves yourself?
Michael Davis
I'm confused by this valve/epic rivalry. What's stopping people from dowloading EGS client and playing the games on it? It's not like you have to buy a separate machine/console to use EGS. It's free software. Why are people bitching?
>didn't you use to buy stuff in stores by actually browsing the shelves yourself? Yes, they changed it. There isn't an animation for driking/eating
Nathaniel Lewis
Good catch. This was apparent in the second game as well and the only time you had to use a menu to shop was on the pawn shops. Fucking Ys probably had to cut some corners to pocket more money.
Blake Stewart
Isn't that kinda missing the point then? Again i only played the first game just recently, the biggest peculiarity to me was clearly the "realistic simulation" aspects, why strip away what made the games unique
Personally I just don't wanna give money to the chinks. But it could lead to thirty different launchers all with their own exclusives, and that kind of thing would just be cumbersome and unpleasant.
Hudson Campbell
Not thing. Salt steam drones mad because steam monopoly threaten and have compete for first time in life. Ignore and laugh at dumb fffuck who madn.
Grayson Ortiz
> chinks Epic games is american company.
Joshua Ward
All the hatred for Epic store is justice in my book. Don't give in to the Chinese, shun them, steal from them, don't let them take even 1 more inch of our industry.
That doesnt make it good or alright in any way shape or form
Nolan Diaz
>trusting kickstarters in the first place
when will they learn?
James Stewart
Chink spyware is not ok
Jackson Gonzalez
BASED Epic for finally ridding us of the crowdfunding menace.
Colton Collins
>crowdfunding All these shits are scams
Zachary Torres
>monopoly There's that word again.
Kayden Kelly
Than turn your computer off and stop playing videogames, buy property like Tim and start a new life in isolation
Brandon Baker
You were going to pirate it in the first place, we don't give a shit about the excuse you tell yourself to justify it.
William Clark
You can't steal what you donated you mongoloids. All of these donations from big companies and small, they use your money to go on vacation without putting on effort on any of their promises. Promises that are not legally binding. Stop giving out your money to these people expecting something out of them. They will just phone it in and pocket the rest of the cash
Literally don't care. I just want to play the fucking game.
Jayden Fisher
Keep telling yourself that.
Brandon Myers
Seeing normal guys here is pretty weird
Hunter Jones
While property sounds nice I'd rather create resistance where possible against the incoming chinese incursion
Anthony Ramirez
You cared enough to reply.
Easton Sanders
Tiananmen Square Massacre. Hong Kong protests.
You know what is really going to suck for Shenmue fans? This game will almost certainly end on another cliffhanger. It will be a repeat in history of Shenmue 2, but in this case there will be no hope of a sequel. All goodwill has evaporated.
It's actually pretty funny.
James Torres
absolutely fucking based and understandable
Oliver Hughes
Also the game looks genuinely bad, and I say this as someone who played the first two games over a decade ago.
Ayden Moore
Start with yourself rather than living in your dreams
Oliver Johnson
I might be alone in this but I actually kinda thank epic for tempting devs to be gigantic faggots. The second a dev takes the epic/chink deal they expose themselves as a piece of shit that doesn't deserve my money and I kno to pirate or completely ignore their games. Along with that I'm thankful for the resurgence of interest in pirating.
To put it into perspective, I think people knew what they are getting. The game got 6 million in kickstarter funds, while MA Andromeda had something like a $40 million budget and more years in development. There is no way epic store and publisher costs made up that difference.
I think many fans wanted to see the story complete, but I honestly believe that will not happen.
Ryan Richardson
I legit don't see the issue. Just fucking pirate it. That's what I do when a dev does something I don't like.
Benjamin Smith
based and infarredpilled
Adam Davis
It's probably more of a publisher deal, as deep silver is the same publisher as mighty no. 9.
Nicholas Myers
>caribbean that place is still fucked up from the hurricane from 2 years ago, maybe they should opt for hawaii or something.
