This is a new battle combat engine that is made for this RPG style of game, so it's tuned for this kind of game. "One difference is that in the previous game, we used the basic fighting battle engine from Virtua Fighter, but now we made it from scratch," Suzuki says via a translator. Progression systems sound like they'll play more of a part in Shenmue 3. "I will tell you that the difficulty of the game is higher than the previous one." I get that sense at the end of the demo, when Ryo's ass is kicked in a one-on-one fight with a more powerful enemy (I won an earlier duel, so it won't all be that difficult). It was finally revealed in August, 2018 that Shenmue 3 will release on August 27, 2019, and then delayed (opens in new tab) again until November 19, 2019."I had to change the game to modernise it a little bit, and also at the same time, I want to make sure that the same feeling and the nostalgic feeling of the original games in it," says Suzuki via a translator. Publisher Deep Silver then announced the release window was once again being pushed back to 2019. Originally, we were due to get our hands on Shenmue 3 in December 2017 but, unsurprisingly, the release date was delayed into 2018. 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. 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. 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.
