Okay yeah, NOW he actually looks like Ryo. Maybe the angles are bad? Maybe he's a "right side is my good side" kind of guy now?

I think it was partially the eyes and the cheekbones

FFFF So much content coming out! I want to keep up with it but I can't!

This is so bizarre, there's TOO MUCH Shenmue III information to keep track of!? WHAT IS GOING ON!


GOOD TIMES AHEAD, BAYBEE!

The actual model looks improved to me, but maybe the optimal lighting helped too.

Okay so its a scan, I see... Very happy its at least official.. That Famitsu scan is WAY better than the in game model shown... Whats up with that? Is the good one a target render perhaps? Either way if he looks as good as the famitsu scans Ill be more than happy. Although he has been slightly white washed... He needs to be like, 2 shades darker.
Made by SEGA

I just watched the french interview, interesting but didn't reveal too much new information. Suzuki said he hasn't decided on arcade games yet, but there is a stretch goal for a game center? Has that one been revealed yet? Is that the 5x Mini Games one from before?

New Kickstarter tier! Got $3000? You can get this killer replica Ryo jacket. Ten people have selected this so far! I like how the model is examining that soda can like Ryo does.

Yu Suzuki's Reddit AMA will be tomorrow at 9:30 PST. (I'm assuming 9:30 AM; the update message doesn't actually specify.)

I'm guessing the AMA is a very spur-of-the-moment plan. First no mention of where or when it'll be, then a not-so-helpful time (seriously, do I get up tomorrow morning or not?!), and still no mention of where. I get the feeling the details are still being worked out.

Someone needs to ask what exactly is his advisory role at SEGA is.

Does he like, tell AM2 what's a good idea or not? Does he give Nagoshi advice on how dark his tan should be? Does he help brush Iizuka's hair for him? Does he help Kodama with her shopping? Does he advise Satomi how to best fend of the Yakuza in a ferrari?

Damn it I need to know!

This whole Kickstarter is starting to feel very spur of the moment. It's only being powered by the DREAM (tm) and Hopes right now.

Yeah, i mentioned on the front page. Very unprofessional not to announce the subreddit and time that they will be holding (also how long he will be answering the questions).

Good to see they're working on new tiers though. Rewards are good 'n' all, but they do end up taking money out of the projects pot. Maybe more digital tiers like the soundtrack, comic, behind the scenes of S1/2, posters, digital copy of scripts, another look at the Saturn version? Etc would help.

The less physical rewards they have to make, the more money goes to the game really.

New video with Tak Hirai (Shenmue 3 lead programmer) where he talks about Shenmue 3 and the some development history of the original two. http://shenmue.link/us-en/topics/#item25

Talks about delivering a new QTE and battle system. Hmmmmm.
