Gamespot's thing just seems like a case of misinterpretation. Some people might now believe there'll be an Xbox One version, but that's not the biggest problem in the world really.
Ben Parfitt stretching Suzuki's answers to fit that portrayal angle is so incredibly forced. Just completely unjustified.
There's nothing inherently wrong or objectionable about characters being cute or sexy. And Shenmue has historically been quite reverent of its characters. Really barking up the wrong tree with that.
The rest of the article similarly comes across as picking out what could be construed as negative, framing it that way, and ignoring anything that doesn't fit the mold.
But he's not all bad.

I remember him having something to do with some dumb Hitman thing.He was asked how things are going with the character models since the original prototypes and said that they're going well and that they've since hired Shenhua's character modeler and she's now looking cuter. He was also asked if he could give hints about some of the new cast. He went on to describe some and mentioned that one was a woman that's "extremely beautiful and sexy, but also cruel". That's all he said. Like I mentioned above, I don't see how either are in any way controversial.
The MCV article was written by Ben Parfitt who most probably know from his...interesting DMC article
