Regardless of your opinion of Epic Games Store, it’s clear that this situation is being handled with very little grace, and is likely hurting the goodwill that Shenmue 3 and Ys Net has cultivated over the years. We thank you for your support and look forward to delivering the Shenmue experience fans everywhere have been waiting so long for.Īs you can imagine, the comment section - which is limited to only confirmed backers of Shenmue 3 - is irate, many of them instructing others to demand chargebacks from the respective credit card companies or report the Shenmue 3 team for false advertising. We apologize for the sudden change in platform, however, refunds will not be granted for this change. Shenmue III will be distributed through the Epic Games Store and will require the Epic Games Store Client to activate.
#SHENMUE 3 PUBLISHERS SERIES#
Developers Ys net today announced that theyve signed up with Deep Silver, the folks who publish such series as Saints Row and Metro. But aside from the atmosphere that has nothing to do with the plot, characters or gameplay, I don’t find a whole lot redeemable, especially for newcomers.The launch was previously planned for distribution on Steam, however it was decided together with Deep silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option. With the development saga of Shenmue 3 official site now creeping up on sixteen years, hey, heres another little bit of good news.After getting the ball rolling with crowdfunding, the RPG has now secured a publisher. I can also appreciate the pretty and colorful environmental graphics portraying 1980’s China and I commend the franchise for maintaining the original character models. It seems like they were trying to be cinematic but what happens are dialogue scenes that last unnecessarily long and are very awkward. While I can appreciate the process of grinding to get a task done, what I have no patience for is slow AF walking that stops for no good reason to have the characters look at each other and say a sentence and then continue to walk again.
I am used to games with a slow start because I have played my fair share of JPRGs in the past but this is slow to the point of unenjoyable. There is so much fan service in this game with the character graphics that haven’t changed, the continued terrible dialogue and voice acting and the mouths that never do match up to anything that anyone is saying.Īll of that wouldn’t be a problem for newcomers if the gameplay just wasn’t so…damn…slow. That being said, as someone who has never before laid hands on a Shenmue game, Shenmue III is only for one group of people and one group alone: fans of the franchise. Without giving anything away, the ending would seem there may be more Shenmue to come. He hears that Lan Di was trained in the village and continues his search for the murderer with the help of his new friend, Yuan. He has traveled from Japan to the rural village of Bailu Village in Guilan, China. It continues the story of Japanese teenager, Ryo Hazuki, as he hunts for the man who killed his father, a man named Lan Di.
Shenmue III was developed by Ys Net and published by Deep Silver.
Could Shenmue III draw a new player to the franchise in or is it a club that I just won’t ever be a part of? Sure, I had heard of bad dialogue and even worse voice acting, but as a huge fan of the original Resident Evil games, that was something that could most definitely be overlooked. Personally, I have never played a Shenmue game but have been curious and loved the vintage JRPG feeling that emanated off of it. Shenmue is one of those franchises that most gamers have heard of but not everyone has played.
#SHENMUE 3 PUBLISHERS WINDOWS#
Platforms: PS4 (version reviewed), Windows Sometimes jumping into a new installment to an established franchise can be a great thing, but I’m not sure that Shenmue III makes the cut.
