Just can't help but feel what a missed oppertunity this was. I mean how much would it have taken to actually spend some time on the game and update the graphics? It looks old, probably will play old too and because of that, there is probably a bunch of potential fans that won't bother with the game.

How about the bloody release date.

Has happened to me a few times this generation. I have underestimated how much having a child and pressure from having a mortgage has had on my (gaming) social life. The first game I wasted money on was Project Cars 2. Desperate for a racing game since Project Gotham, I bought this game to only real...

I'm about 40 hours in and really loving it so far. Definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Almost missed out on it to as its typically a game I'm not interested in. Only got it because of the raving reviews and the fact I bought Catherine, for some weird reason, and that was a sleeper hit...

Watched it yesterday and loved the fact that

Well the issue with the DMC menus were the CG video backgrounds. Same deal that limited the Resident Evil Remake Rerelease. Can't just extend the visible area like with realtime graphics obviously. There are of course ways to fill the screen but they include stretching or cropping. I don't recall a...

I have little to no doubt that a few junior modders could creative a better version of this game than Sega is doing. I longed for Shenmue 3 for so long, perhaps too long, as when it was announced I was hoping that it will be the last game in the series so I can close this chapter in my life. When th...

Just woke up to the news today with a very meh reaction. This was the chance to bring in news fans of the game with a remake, no a re-release. Wouldn't have cost a significant amount just to significantly update the graphics of the game. Day one purchase for me but can't help but feel this is a mass...

Playing this game for around 2-3 hours and boy is it taking time to get started. Probably spent 2/3 of that time advancing monologue.

True.

I actually remember first playing GTA IV and excitingly trying to test out how good the NPC AI was. Bumped into someone holding an umbrella or briefcase which made them drop it. Hoping to see them pick it up and continue with their journey only for them to walk on by.

What so offending about it being financial flop? Because it's used to talk down the series and future financial viability. It's a very surface level reading of the situation Shenmue was in. The original game sold 1.2+ million copies on an install base of like 8/9 million consoles, which is an attac...

Whenever there is a list of biggest gaming flops, even those outside of just financial performance, Shenmue comes up all the time. People always forget to ,emotion that both games sold over a million copies on the Dreamcast alone and if it was released on any other console, especially now, it would ...

Now to find out if it's original or a Wii U rehash. I was stunned to find out Mario Kart 8, a Wii U port, outsold a brand new game like Breath of the Wild. With sales like that Nintendo may figure it is only good business sense to release an hd remaster now with a couple bonus characters and an ori...

There is so many major releases this year and that does no bode well for Shenmue, especially where simply being noticed won't be enough as, to be frank, it does not look like a good game . What, in your opinion, makes you believe it doesn't look like a good game? Marketing aside, Shenmue III, in my...

Shenmue should be as significant as any Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls release. Bias aside, the quality of the first two games were second to none at its time. I remember being so grateful towards Sega for producing such a masterpiece but at the same time angry and disappointed in the way they marke...
