But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option." "Development for Shenmue III has been moving forward using Unreal Engine and the support we have received from Epic has been excellent.
#Shenmue 3 delayed update
In an update to backers on Kickstarter (opens in new tab), Ys Net has revealed that Shenmue 3 is going to be an Epic Store exclusive for awhile: As fans of the original series, we were disappointed (but not all that surprised) to find Shenmue 3 is stuck in the past.
Characters are stone-faced, combat is clunky and limited, while the game's graphics leave a lot to be desired. While there are new features such as Ryo being able to train specific skills through balance or timing challenges, we found the game hasn't really aged well. We got hands on time with Shenmue 3 during E3 2019 and, we have to say, it was a bit disappointing. In a tweet CEO, Tim Sweeney, confirmed the policy in a show of good will towards players. As a result, refunds were called for and it seems Epic is willing to honor, and fund, the refund requests.
#Shenmue 3 delayed Pc
News that Shenmue 3 on PC would be an Epic Store exclusive for a year before making its way onto Steam brought some kickback from unhappy Kickstarter backers who felt that they were being strong-armed into playing a game from a storefront they don't wish to support.
#Shenmue 3 delayed Ps4
Better make sure you have 100GB of storage available! The download size for the PS4 version of the game is yet to be confirmed. The Epic Games Store now has Shenmue 3 listed (opens in new tab) and along with that listing are the minimum and recommended system requirements for PC players. While it'll be possible to replay, it will eventually expire and the progress players make in the demo will not carry over to their final copy of the game.Ī solid date and some finer details are yet to be nailed down but it's expected that these will be confirmed soon. The demo will be around an hour long and will take place in the first area of the game, Bailu village.
#Shenmue 3 delayed trial
The PC trial for Shenmue 3 is coming (opens in new tab) to the Epic Games Store in the second half of September but it will only be accessible to Kickstarter and Slacker backers who pledged $100 or more when the game was raising funds for development. Save this post, hold me to these numbers, and in a year you'll see that I was correct.Though we're not expecting to hear much about Shenmue 3 at Gamescom 2019, it's possible we may see a new trailer during Opening Night Live as Koch Media/Deep Silver have been confirmed as some of the publishers making announcements. I would estimate Shenmue 3 core staff to be more in the range of 90-115 persons. Outsourcing unquestionably extends beyond Lakshya and most certainly comprises of a number of local Japanese studios - which we will learn of upon the game's release. See previous game credits:Īs far as Shenmue 3 is concerned, the 45 staff at YSNet are but a small part of the game's development story. The gist of that number given by the Rockstar CEO is going to be attributed to the droves of voice actors. As it is, Rockstar San Diego only employs around 130 staff. The 1000 figure provided by Rockstar is obviously marketing speak and not representative of the core development team (Programming, Art, Design, Audio). How many working for YsNet on Shenmue 3 (ok, without Lakshya Digital)? 45?Īnd there's still people out there whining about Shenmue 3 beeing delayed or not looking as good as a AAA title? He also mentions that there are over 1000 people working on the game. NEWS: Rockstar Games CEO Strauss Zelnick confirms that Red Dead Redemption 2 will NOT be delayed again. Contrary to the popular opinion of IGN editors this shouldn't be a cause for concern. It's likely that Shenmue 3 will fall between a 46-48 month cycle for a May - July 2019 release. If anything, it was premature of Yu to target a 2017 release.Īn example of various game development periods: When you look at the average game development cycle, 36-48 months is typically the norm. Granted more development time does not always equate to a better game, however YSNet had received a substantial injection of funds midway through development (which is rare in game development as the budget is established upon the initiation of the publishing deal - however Shenmue 3 was without one until August 2017) which allowed Yu to broaden the game beyond was initially envisioned.
They value not impeding on their impatience more than the quality of the product. I saw the IGN video and they said it will be delayed as a negative. Kirino_Matsuyama wrote: Nice to see everybody is so positive.
