Jelly!!! i wish these were released physically here in the US.. darn

Its cool that cedric wanted shenmue 3 on dc but yeah, that would have been suicide in terms of sales, HOWEVER, i would have loved if Shenmue 3 was on ps4/pc with retro DC graphics ala megaman 9/10. I mean there is a market for retro indie games so it could've work.. Modern UE4 graphics are fine and all but theres just something for me on how Shenmue 1 and 2 look that its unmatched from everything imo.

Did this while i was bored

I can already see what AJ is gonna do next...

Project Update #55
Here we give you the Monaco Pics in FULL GLORIOUS 240P black and white JPGED Cropped.

I don't know how he's going to do it...
If he had a dollar for every time he's heard that in his career he probably wouldn't have needed Kickstarter. :lol:
Yeah, true. We aren't talking here about some random average indie team, we are talking about the Legend Yu Suzuki, the guy has been doing this for even longer that some of us have been alive. The guy knows what he is doing.
Nobody would doubt a Kickstarter of Kojima, or Miyamoto, so no one should doubt that Suzuki will deliver even with a more strict budget.
#InYuWeTrust

where are the black and white Monaco pictures in 144p?

Shenmue 3 has evolved into Shenchinko 3 for Pachinkos only, developed by Konami! YAY

I'm with Peter, as long as i have the game, gimme shenmue 3 on a freaking sharpie, idc

I just got the new Ratchet and Clank game and wow, what a revelation, is hella fun. Feels like a old school ps2 game with brand new graphics. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

Eh, at least we are waiting for a update of Shenmue III and not the actual game being confirmed anymore....

Where do those bloody sailors hang out?!

Shenmue HD of course

I'm gonna purchase a 4K TV and boot up dat baby on the PC at 4K.

Shenmue II has a 88 on Metacritic which is pretty solid for a game that is so polarizing on reviewers. I have a feeling this new collection is gonna have a much lower score due to standards changing for people.

I know people wanted a save transfer for III but has it even been confirmed that you will have a save transfer from 1 to 2?

Thanks GOD that they didn't lose the Source Code.

Dat Ryo and Nozomi one looks REALLY good! Seems like some bloom lighting is in effect. Don't mind the 4:3 if it's gonna look that good. But we will see.

I really think we could be a little biased when it comes to the pictures since we love the games so much but that's ok. Still can't wait to see how the modern gamers are going to react to these games. Despite the graphics not being up to current standards these games are too speciaI that i'm sure people would get over that.
Will be sure to be on the lookout on Twitch for any streamers when this hits. I wonder if most newcomers will choose the English voices or Japanese? :-k

I'm 17 and I know about it! And I told my friend he is 15 and is turning 16 next month he seems to like it!
I'm sorry to say this but you are the exception my friend. Most 17 year old gamers are mindlessly playing things like fortnite or pubg. Shenmue is mostly a old mans game in this age.
Hopefully this HD collection brings new fans and younger gamers aboard, i wanna believe there's more 17 year olds like you who can see the value of these games despite their age and not having the ''shiniest'' visuals or online components.

Yeah like Jibby said, i'm not worried about Yu Suzuki not being involved since these are essentially ports. And considering the images we've seen and the philosophy that Sega Europe/d3t is going for, they are making sure these ports are very faithful to the original and the original vision of Yu Suzuki.

After SOTC I actually would be much worried if say Bluepoint gave Shenmue the remake treatment. I remember the constant threads and articles talking about the design and visuals and art direction differing from the original, i much rather have the actual 100 percent original games/code and assets faithfully ported to make sure that YS vision isn't being meddle with. Hell, personally i wouldn't mind if these games were kept fully in 4:3 and with the original HUD but i know i'm on a minority even in here on that. :)

Just not having to rely on my aging dreamcast with disc reading issues or stuttery/inaccurate emulation to play these 2 masterpieces is really what i'm looking the most forward to.

I'm also really interested headin to twitch and see if any popular streamers pick up the game and what they think about it.

Just plain jain having these 2 amazing games on modern platforms is all i need. Is more convenient for us and it will bring a new audience. The best of both worlds. Im ok with no 60fps or 16:9 for the entire game ect. The modern controls are a plus and great and all but i won't be using them. Tbh my biggest concern is the lack of a loading screen. It's just too iconic to remove and i'm sure these modern platforms can load these games in a instant so i wonder what they will do.

Just thank you SEGA :king:

I won't sell mine because i feel Dreamcast still has some software im interested in and emulation for it still isn't to my liking. Is interesting though seeing people on this topic that value the hardware and others who value the software no matter where its located. I'm probably on the first camp but i might budge and sell or get rid of my DC once emulation improves since my DC is really being a pain lately with disc reading issues and im not the type to keep a non working console around on display.

Just noticed something quite interesting!

It's already confirmed by the d3t dev here that the version of Shenmue II is based on the Xbox version but check this out.

Seems like that sign is in the rerelease so they might be borrowing some dreamcast assets for this version. Pretty neat. :mrgreen:

You can see it for the first couple frames in the reveal trailer at 0:30. I boosted the contrast on Photoshop to make it look clearer.

They could include Virtua Fighter 1 and 2, Daytona usa..
Wouldn't make sense if they're keeping in line with the relevant time period. The Saturn in the first game is an easter egg before anyone uses that as a retort ;-)
What about the Sonic capsule toys? Sonic didn't exist in 86/87 either and i wouldn't call the capsule toys easter eggs. They are featured more prominently than the Saturn.

I also hope they keep the Map Walls/Loading sections Bypass exploit from 2. I sure love to abuse it sometimes on replays.

Well good news for North American Amazon customers. Seems like the planets have aligned and Amazon has added the prime discount to Shenmue 1&2 despite being rereleases which seems to be rare nowadays. http://www.amzn.to/2FdaVyN

It's pretty tiresome to keep hearing comparisons to yakuza and Shenmue. Before it was Shenmue vs GTA.
Both series can coexist and have their audience just like fortnite and playerunknown's do. Why this obsession of its gotta be either one or the other, Not both? JFC.

But whatever. Can't let these spectics ruin our fun. We got rereleases of Shenmue I & II and III against so many odds and there ain't nothing ''Mr. Alan Wen'' can do about it.

I ordered two copies for PS4 for now. One to keep sealed and the other for use. I will pre order the steam version when its available.

Yeah. Pre Shenmue remasters it was tough trying to sell people into the series. Thanks GOD for these remasters.
Suck it ebay scalpers.

For anyone curious here's the new Shenhua actress other anime roles.

''Details soon! Hang in there, it'll be worth the wait ;)''

I wonder what the worth the wait could be hinting at. Reminds me when sega was initially hyping the Sega Fes announcement. Maybe the collection is coming much closer than we think? Who knows just speculating of course. Could easily be nothing.

More bizzare nonsensical Sega decisions... -_-

People are so quick to say stuff like this, yet will also moan and complain if they show it in an unfinished/WIP state (evidenced by the reveal trailer) .

Maybe it's not ready to be showcased? Perhaps they're working on addressing the concerns raised from its initial showing before letting the public see it again. At least they cared enough to get Adam and Corey in for signing sessions as an alternative.

It just feels like SEGA can't win sometimes.
You know what? You are right. I fell into the usual negativity that alot of people fall into. My bad. Still a little disappointed to not see anything this E3 but i guess i can understand why it won't be present.

It doesn't bother me if d3t leaves the cutscenes in 4:3 since the PC community will take care of that anyway.
