《莎木3》开发团队确认本作不会参展今年的E3

　　被很多人称为“有生之年”作品的《莎木3》在公布之后，就再也没有在大型的游戏展会上亮相过，不免让人感到一丝遗憾。那么在今年的E3上，这款作品会不会出现呢?答案是否定的。本作的开发团队Ys Net确认，在整个六月他们将全力进行游戏的制作，因此《莎木3》不会在任何的游戏展会上出现，这也就直接否定了这款游戏在今年E3上亮相的可能。、

　　作为当年DC上名作《莎木》系列时隔多年后的续作，《莎木3》一经公布就受到了全球玩家的瞩目。按照开发团队一开始公布的计划，这款作品将在2017年末上市，如此算来，距离游戏发售还有半年多的时间，全部制作人员把所有的精力放在游戏的开发上也不算让人意外。对于《莎木3》的粉丝来说，游戏能够按期上市，应该比其他的都要重要吧。

《莎木3》延期至18年下半年 竟一点也不意外

　　《莎木3》的制作人在本作最新的开发进展视频中确认，《莎木3》将延期至2018年下半年上市。具体的延期理由依然是为了“达成自己心中的游戏预期”。

   

　　作为游戏业界最为著名的有生之年系列作品之一，《莎木3》最早在2015年的索尼E3展前发布会上亮相，随后本作就开启了众筹。在得到大量玩家们的支持后，《莎木3》开始进入开发阶段。根据铃木裕自己的说法，在新技术的帮助下，《莎木3》变得更为美丽和复杂，游戏的规模也远超出他的想象，为此，他希望玩家能够多给开发团队一些时间。

　　《莎木》系列最早是DC平台独占的作品，其理念影响了后来的大量开放世界游戏。随着世嘉推出家用主机贩卖业务，《莎木》项目也遭到终结，系列剧情在2代会后戛然而止。但铃木裕一直没有放弃“将《莎木》的故事讲完”这个梦想，经过了16年的努力，《莎木3》终于得以立项。

　　此外，根据开发团队此前的消息，《莎木3》不会在本届E3上出展，整个团队正在专注于游戏的开发。对于很多人来说，可能延期的这个消息，应该也不是很意外吧……既然我们已经等了16年，那就再让我们等一段时间吧!

Shenmue III first teaser trailer
《莎木 3》公布 PS4 版首部宣传影片 确认游戏开发进度
转载 - 巴哈姆特（https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/1/151431.html）

　　Ys Net 制作，预定 2018 年下半推出的 PS4 / PC 动作冒险游戏《莎木 3（Shenmue III）》，配合德国科隆举办的欧洲最大电玩展「gamescom 2017」的举办，首度公开 PS4 版宣传影片，供玩家确认目前游戏的开发进度。

　　1999 年问世的《莎木》，当时以开创性的开放世界与栩栩如生的 NPC 作息等特色为玩家所称道。 原本预计制作 16 个章节，但因商业上的失败而没有机会完结。 在 2015 年 PlayStation E3 展前发表会上，系列之父铃木裕登台宣布暌违 14 年的《莎木 3》将进行募资开发。 消息一出获得热烈回响，开放募资当天就突破了 200 万美元的制作门坎，累计至今已募集到 676 万美元。

　　不过《莎木 3》自 2015 年发表以来，官方公布的游戏开发进度与成果就相当有限，至今都没有一个较明确的概观，而只有零星的场景、角色或场面的展示，甚至在 6 月时宣布将上市日期延后至 2018 年下半年。 而本次是首部曝光了游戏的实际运行影像。

Ys Net has released the first teaser trailer for Shenmue III ahead of Gamescom 2017 in Cologne, Germany this week.

The teaser trailer is built from a “small slice” of an in-development build of the game, and provides a sneak peek at the new looks of the main characters, new characters, and the feels of Shenmue world.

Shenmue III is due out for PlayStation 4 and PC in the second half of 2018. It will be published both physically and digitally by Deep Silver.

Shenmue III first teaser trailer character models are mostly temporary, says director Yu Suzuki
《莎木3》建模太丑遭吐槽 铃木裕：都是临时的

　　昨天（8月22日）《莎木3》发布了首支正式预告，很多玩家们对视频中人物的建模评价相当消极。对此外媒GameSpark也在采访中问及了此事，对此铃木裕回答说：这些角色的模型大多数是临时的。

　　在采访中Gamespark的采访者表示，很多GameSpark的读者评论称《莎木3》预告中“人物建模让人忧虑”。对此铃木裕回答说：“莎花、凉和其他角色（的建模）都几乎是临时的。”执行制作人森下英昭也补充说：“（登场的）角色大都是临时的，恐怕他们对此产生了一些误解。”

　　铃木裕最后表示：“莎花（的建模）还必须要进行更多的修正。（指向其他角色）这个角色接近完成了，这个是临时的，这个也是临时的，这个也是临时的。”

　　《莎木3》预计2018年下半年发售，登陆PC/PS4。希望在游戏发售时人物的建模不会像是“临时”的这样吧。



The character models featured in the recent Shenmue III teaser trailer are mostly temporary, series creator and project director Yu Suziki has confirmed.

Speaking to Game Spark, Suzuki said that the character models are largely incomplete. “Shenhua, Ryo, and the other characters are mostly temporary,” Suzuki said in response to concerns about the character models. “Shenhua still has to be fixed up a bit.” Pointing to other characters, Suzuki said, “This is a character close to completion. This one is temporary. This one is also temporary. This one is temporary, too.”

Characters of sufficiently high quality are seemingly being made, but executive producer Hideaki Morishita “was unable to ready them in time for this trailer.” According to Morishita, the major milestone of signing a contract with Deep Silver tells us that development on the project is progressing with new form, but since a trailer was not released alongside the announcement, they put one together despite feeling it might be premature. Morishita said, “While there is little excuse, there are parts that are still lacking or parts that are not sufficient.”

Speaking to Game Watch, Suzuki also said that facial expressions have yet to be implemented. “Facial expressions were implemented a month ago, but were temporarily removed,” he said.

Here are some of other tidbits from the interviews, with some additional information from Famitsu:

Shenmue III will be a single-player-only game. Post-release downloadable content is planned, but Suzuki could not discuss its contents.

The voice actors for Ryo—Masaya Matsukaze in Japanese and Corey Marshall in English—have already signed on. There are a lot of voice actors Suzuki wants on board and will try to accomplish that as much as possible. However, since the previous game came out such a long time ago, some voice actors have since retired. For example, he will be holding auditions for a new voice actor for Shenhua.

While Shenmue used the Virtua Fighter engine and Shenmue II used the Virtua Fighter II engine for its fighting system, Shenmue III uses a new system built from scratch. Suzuki does not think that Shenmue III should be “an action game where critical command inputs are necessary.” From the beginning, Shenmue has been a game of thought where what is important is not the player’s timing input skills, but judgment. That is why a new battle engine is being made.

There will be a race. Suzuki also wants to include lure fishing. A system is being prepared where various people tell you about fishing spots, and you can sell the fish you catch for money. You will also be able to make money wood-chopping. As for the forklift, “everyone will be mad at me if we don’t do it,” Suzuki said. “The forklift is being prepared.”

For users who have not played the first two games, Suzuki wants to create a visually-based digest that introduces the story of the previous titles, but has yet to decide if this will be a video or not. He wants it to be simpler than the digest video included with Shenmue II. Since Ryo is tracing in the footsteps of his father, he will recall old things during the story, and since he can make international calls to characters from previous games, he may be reminded of when “I had that experience with this person.” Rather than relying on a single movie, Suzuki thinks it is better to scatter it across the game. Suzuki wants players new to the series to be able to enjoy it, as well as to bring a smile to the faces of returning players.
While he has difficulty predicting the gameplay length of Shenmue III, Suzuki said it should be about 30 hours in length.

While Deep Silver is the international publisher of Shenmue III, a Japanese publisher has yet to be decided. Partnering with Deep Silver stabilized the project in various aspects, including budget and promotion support. While he was originally thinking about scaling back, this led him to aim a little higher. This also slightly extended the development deadline an increased the number of developers working on the game. The game is currently in full-scale production.

Regarding a revival of Shenmue and Shenmue II on PlayStation 4, Suzuki notes that they are properties of Sega, so he is not in the position to comment. He understands that they are many users that want it, and thinks that they should do it if they can coordinate it with Shenmue III, as the releases can be beneficial to each other. He noted that the first two games had a high budget and invested in a lot more staff and trivial character details, which is something that cannot be done now. For that reason, he joked, if Shenmue and Shenmue II were re-released, they would be a director competitor to Shenmue III.

Suzuki would like to make Shenmue IV after Shenmue III, if possible. He does not think the story will be completed after Shenmue III, and has no interest in forcing it. While there are many users who want the story to be completed, he does not want to cut so many things short. He hopes to be able to complete the story within his lifetime.

Shenmue III will not be at Tokyo Game Show 2017. The only reason it is at Gamescom 2017 is because of the Deep Silver partnership announcement.

Shenmue III is due out for PlayStation 4 and PC in the second half of 2018. It will be published both physically and digitally by Deep Silver.

铃木裕谈《莎木 3》延期是为了开发出「真实感」而非「拟真」

　　在 2016 年 PlayStation E3 展前发表会上闪电发表的传说级系列续作《莎木 3（シェンムー III）》（PC / PlayStation 4）。 虽然在 2017 年 6 月时宣布将要延期到 2018 年后半发售，但是在 8 月发表将会交由 Deep Silver 负责发行，可以知道本作确实正在一点一点迈向正式发售。

　　而在这次德国科隆游戏展（gamescom）2017 当中，因为负责本作的 YS NET 公司董事长，同时也是系列作生父的铃木裕也来到会场，于是我们便把握机会展开专访。 请教为何会选择 Deep Silver 公司作为发行商，以及这次配合科隆游戏展所公开的游戏宣传影片，还有《莎木 3》目前的开发目标等等问题，有兴趣的玩家可参考本文。



发售会延期是因为「正面积极」的理由


媒体：今天请多多指教。 那么我第一个想问的问题，这次的影片是配合科隆游戏展 2017 开展而公开。 但为什么不是选择在 E3 而是在科隆游戏展公开呢？

铃木裕（以下简称为铃木）：如果和 Deep Silver 之间的契约是在 E3 2017 前就签定的话...... 应该要算是最大的理由吧。 因为最后盖章认定的部份有所拖延，所以影片公开的时机才会变成是选在科隆游戏展举办的期间。

媒体：原来是这样啊。 那是不是可以请教一下会选择 Deep Silver 作为发行商的理由呢？

铃木：《莎木 3》在发表之后马上就在 Kickstarter 网站上实施募资，而且最后也成功募得目标款项。

但是如果想要制作一款开放世界式的游戏，其实光靠募资得来的款项，绝对是不够。 所以我们同时也持续在寻找能够作为开发伙伴的公司，在这些公司的候选名单当中，就有 Deep Silver。

媒体：那最后的决定关键是？

铃木：因为 Deep Silver 以前曾经和 SEGA 有过合作关系，我也有个很让我信任的朋友推荐他们，于是就决定「那直接去他们公司看看吧」，最后就确定是由他们来负责发行。 签约有赶上科隆游戏展开幕真的是让我松了一口气。

媒体：因为在决定要延期之后就几乎没有其他消息，看到发表和 Deep Silver 合作发行游戏的声明，应该也让许多支持玩家松了一口气吧。

铃木：其实在发表变更游戏发售时期的时候，就已经差不多确定会和 Deep Silver 签约了。 但是因为游戏规模一直在扩大，变成一款开放世界式的游戏，让工程也是不断增加，所以才会决定要延期。

媒体：原来如此。 也就是说并不是因为「开发进度不理想」这种负面的理由造成延期。

铃木：没错，其实是非常积极正面的延期。 所谓开放世界式的游戏，在某些程度上是以物量来决胜负。 在与 Deep Silver 签定契约之前的《莎木 3》，要说是一款开放世界式游戏，说真的是有些狭窄了。

媒体：所以是因为和 Deep Silver 合作，所以才有办法「更加接近理想」吗？

铃木：就是这样没错。

举个比较好了解的例子来说明，像是在游戏中第二个出现的城镇里面，原本只预定会设置大概 50 个 60 个左右的 NPC，但是因为游戏规模扩大，现在就变成大约有 200 人了呢。

要追求的不是「拟真」而是「真实感」


媒体：在两年前的专访当中，您曾经对当时《莎木 3》公开的宣传影片表示「湿度变得比较像是加州」，不知道这次的影片是不是有接近理想的湿度了。

铃木：没错，感受到湿度的部份已经没问题了。 接下来的目标就是要做出能让人感受到气味的画面。

媒体：从「画面」感受到「气味」吗？

铃木：因为《莎木》和《莎木 2》都有做到这件事，所以我希望在这次一样可以做到。 就像是一块肉没放进冰箱，而且还放在大太阳底下晒了一整天一样，大家光看到其实就好像有股臭味扑鼻而来，我觉得应该马上就可以实现出这种感觉才对。

媒体：就算只是撷取一部份没有角色登场的风景，也能马上看出是《莎木 3》，就是最理想的情况吧。

铃木：没错，我的确希望能做到这种地步。



媒体：为什么会特别讲究湿度呢？

铃木：重点果然还是「真实感」吧。 因为单纯「拟真」实在不是很有趣，所以希望可以做得夸张一点。

在《莎木》第一部和第二部的时候，大家的目标都是「要怎么样才能让游戏画面尽可能拟真」。 但是现在已经是「做到这样是理所当然」的时代了。

媒体：所以目标是比拟真还要再往前走对吗？

铃木：比如说一个拟真的表情，其实只要使用脸部捕捉器，马上就可以完成。

但是这种手法只能表现出实际存在的人脸表情。 但是我觉得，如果希望打造出带有娱乐作品的趣味性，那就不应该单纯使用现实中存在的事物，而是必须要有部份程度的夸张化才行。

故事是发生在《2》代结局六个小时后

媒体：接下来想请教有关于故事的问题。 《3》的故事大概是发生在《2》代结局之后多久的事情呢？

铃木：一天，正确来说是六个小时后。

媒体：也就是说《2》代结局之后马上就接下去了吗？

铃木：没错。 虽然说《2》代发售已经是十五年前的事情了，但是在游戏里面其实只经过了六个小时（笑）。

媒体：可是这样的话，没有玩过前面两部作品的玩家，会不会搞不懂剧情是怎么一回事啊？

铃木：当然我们也为了在本作新加入的玩家，而准备了能够让他们了解故事的设计。

媒体：具体来说是怎样的设计呢？

铃木：可以打电话给前两部作品的角色，然后以回忆的方式来介绍故事。

媒体：哦！ 所以并不会强迫大家都要看影片，而是让想要知道的人可以自己去看的系统对吧。

铃木：就是这样。

但是因为角色之间的对话内容十分有趣，所以就算是玩过前两部作品的玩家，应该也能好好享受这部份的内容。

媒体：虽然还有很多问题想问，但我们时间非常有限，所以在最后，请为正在等待游戏发售的玩家们说句话吧。

铃木：这次因为有幸和 Deep Silver 签下合作契约，所以应该能够提供给大家一款确实可说是开放世界式的作品。 未来也请大家继续关注并支持我们。

媒体：非常感谢您接受今天的专访。
