Possible New Footage?

[Cebman]

Hello, long time lurker here with something interesting I saw yesterday:

Strolled through the game section at a Walmart in a neighboring town. Saw that Shenmue III was one of the choices on the PS4 demo display. It included a video that I assumed was old footage I had seen many times. However, there were 4 sections of the video that I had never seen or read about anyone else seeing.

1. New scene with a young man villager running up to Ryo and hiding behind him.

2. New dialogue with Ryo and Shenhua

3. Gameplay of 1st person forklift driving

4. Gameplay of the Whack A Mole minigame

Is this older footage? I can't find it on YouTube or remember anyone saying hey have seen it.

Would you mind heading back to that Walmart store, and taking some shots / video footage please :)?

Don't say I don't believe you, but seems strange that this footage would just be out their in the wild without being officially shown first.

Agreed on getting some off-screen footage. That's all new stuff.

Walmart leaks all the time, so I believe it.

I believe we saw something like that in the extended trailer at Monaco last year, everything else sounds completely new!

Holy...

So... anybody willing to find a Walmart to see if their demo station has the footage too?

$1000 to the first person to post footage! (The Dojo is good for it, right?)

Game ID listings on their website / Box art possible, but full on unseen game footage in a demo compilation kiosk?

Perhaps a post-E3 demo kiosk that shipped early?

Yep. Definitely can happen if the pre-order push is happening very soon and the footage was already provided to retailers. Walmart leaks shit allllll the time.

If this is legit, chances of a trailer at E3 just shot up exponentially too. This is either a sizzle reel or a full trailer playing in-store.

Wow it is new footage. Earliest I could go again is tomorrow. I'll record it then.

See if you can somehow sneak the display unit out of the store so we can get direct footage.

It's in Lima Ohio if you feel like driving there :)

Thanks man.

Don't feel obligated though, if it's in Walmart on a display unit we're going to get it in a matter of days anyway I think.

What was the rest of the footage like, that you thought was old stuff?

Mostly fights with the other martial artists shown already.

Interesting. Would hope they've re-rendered that stuff with a recent game build but who knows. If it's a sizzle reel it might just be cobbled out of all kinds of sources, and not necessarily edited by Deep Silver. Was there any audio?
