Shenmue 3 trailer dropped and it's amazing*

I need to point out that there is an asterisk next to amazing...


The asterisk is there for a reason:
*= Remember that this is an indie developed sequel and it's not being handled by a big studio with a AAA Game budget. You can't expect a Red Dead Redemption 2 style of trailer for a game with a much smaller budget. Not to mention that Shenmue's art style has never been hyperrealistic. Just look at Goro, Chai, the Crate Guy from Shenmue 2, so... you get the idea. The one thing people CAN BE worried about is that the clip still says not final. Nearly 5 months until the game is released CAN put a bit of anxiety on people. The trailer captures the Shenmue quirkiness pretty well.

To expect a game on the same level as RDR2,  or Yakuza is putting the expectations waay too high. Shenmue is not a game for everyone... it's an acquired taste. One that is being released at the worst possible era for it.
