Those who have backed Shenmue III can now download a short demo of the game, which gives access to a small area in which you can interact with people, play a bunch of mini-games and give the combat system a try. We have recorded the PC version of the demo in 4K, so if nostalgia is what you're after, check it out!

I have just one question: Is BlimBlim the one playing it?
PS. There's only one - correct - answer. Search inside your heart and you will find it.
On a serious note, that's a bummer. But understandable. However... is it a pipe dream to hope BlimBlim would play Shenmue 3 if you guys decide to do a Gamersyde Live when it launches?
I was so pleasantly surprised and it just looks to be a perfect encapsulation of Shenmue for current gen. So happy :)
In case it's not clear, I'm asking if someone who chose the PS4 has access to the PC demo. If they have, at least then everyone who backed the game can try the demo if their PC can run it. While not ideal, it's better than not having access to the demo at all.
Yeah, that sucks then. If making a demo for PS4 would be too much, then they should have given the PS4 version backers access to the PC demo, at least this way everyone could try it.
Though I searched for the Kickstarter post for the demo and it doesn't mention any restrictions to PS4 backers only that:
"The Backer Trial Version will be available to backers who have the Trial Version reward included in their pledge and completed their backer surveys by September 20th, 2019."
Kickstarter - Shenmue III Trial Version Distribution Notice:

So people should check the tier they backed it and if they completed their backer survey before that specific date. If both check correctly, then try emailing the support team of either Ys Net or Fangamer, maybe even both.
Either way, good luck to all the backers. Shenmue III would literally not exist without you all, so cheers.
