Though Shenmue III didn't exactly have a huge presence at Gamescom, Yu Suzuki did drop a brief teaser trailer for the game, showing off the visually impressive engine...and some less-than-ideal facial expressions.

That's right, the faces of all the game's characters looked as though they'd been crudely pasted on at the last minute, causing Suzuki to eventually state that the faces were just placeholder models, and the final game will have a full extent of facial expressions.

While so much is still up in the air about the game's development, it's at least encouraging to see that, faces aside, it seems to be shaping up rather nicely.
