New Gameplay Today – Shenmue III

Shenmue III is out today, which is a step to finally get an answer to one of the game’s longest running questions: Would Shenmue III be good? It’s too early to give a definitive answer, but today’s protracted NGT should at least give you a little indication of what to expect.

The original Shenmue games were cinematic experiences that were ahead of their time in many ways. Is this formula still impressive? All I’m going to say is that if you liked those weird old things, maybe you could get a kick out of this. Watch and see why (or why not!).
