Shenmue III – Disponibile l’intervista all’Enviroment Designer del gioco

Direttamente da Kickstarter arriva un nuovissimo video dedicato a Shenmue III. Purtroppo questo filmato non ci mostra nulla del gioco vero e proprio ma ci consente di ascoltare le parole dell’Enviroment Designer del titolo targato Ys Net e che fu annunciato l’anno scorso all’E3 di Los Angeles e successivamente finanziato con una campagna Kickstarter da record.

Shenmue III, ricordiamo, è attualmente atteso per PCPlayStation 4 e sarà disponibile solo nei mesi finali del prossimo anno:

Hello Everyone,

Before getting into the main part of the update, we would like to respond to two issues brought up by the community—the Shenmue III logo and voice audio options.

First for the Shenmue III logo. There have been many comments from Shenmue fans wanting the logo to match the original logos from Shenmue 1& 2. We have heard your calls and will of course put it on the to-do list. This particular issue will take some time, however, as game development is currently taking a front seat to other design issues. Designers and other parties will also need to be consulted with, so before we can give a more definite answer, we would ask you please give us some time.

The second issue receiving a lot of attention concerns the voice audio options. Many people have asked for there to be an option to switch between Japanese and English voicing. We understand how strongly people feel about this feature, and it is something we would like to include as well, but the inclusion of a dual audio option will ultimately come down to budgetary limitations. Whether it will be added or not, will need to be decided as development progresses.

Thank you very much everyone for your input! Please keep contacting us here at Kickstarter with your ideas, comments and suggestions!

And now on to our inside look for April…
