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.

Upped to 55 now.

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.

Shenmue 500k tweeted this recently.

Jesus. Is like a snarky resetera poster wrote that. Lmao.

My only concern is that with the old music vs the new music is that unless Iuchi has kept the same synth and MIDI sounds on his computer from the Shenmue 1 and 2 days, the new tracks will sound very different and create a clash. I hope for a consistent musical score that has a great variety as well regardless.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. This is a fairly recent piece by Iuchi and it still sounds like something right out of Shenmue.

Oh god, When i put this song on i closed my eyes and imagined vistas of Guilin with the title screen of SIII popping up with this song in the background and got goosebumps.

Once in a while u need a smack in the face to remind you that yes, Shenmue III is fucking REAL!

New images have been added on the steam page.

After the d3t developer told us they fixed Shenhua's eyes in this forum i wouldn't worry. I'm sure d3t is very aware. Hell Its probably already fixed and that's a photo of a old outdated build

The recolouring and repositioning of the clown's hair, along with the addition of a little tuft on top of its head, is a nod to Krusty the Clown from The Simpsons :)
Can't believe i didn't picked up on this as a semi big Simpsons fan.
Mind blown!

I knew compressed audio was what we were getting. While it's known Sega still has Ryo's English lines uncompressed i highly doubt they also have every single uncompressed line from the close to one a thousand NPCs throughout both games in both languages so its understandable.

Bloom can be turned off confirmed by Sega Europe

1-2 seconds of loading is impressive, way shorter than on GDEMU or on a emulator but i don't know i hope new players can read all the loading screen info in time i guess lol.

I don't think the reasoning is garbage. Shenmue runs on a pretty custom proprietary engine and porting from Source Code and emulation are completely different beasts. Maybe they could only get it to 1080p and 4K is too big of a resolution for the engine to handle. I seem to recall Bayonetta on PC having issues on certain scenes when running on high resolutions so it could be something similar on that front.

Either way it is a miracle these games even run on modern hardware considering how different the architecture the Dreamcast is from modern systems. I'm more than happy with 1080p.

Expected of course but confirmed that What's Shenmue? isn't included on the re-releases.

IRL Dobuita is gorgeous, great cinematography in this doc.

We got to see the subtitles text which is great, they sure have made the letters smaller which i'm not a huge fan of but i sort of expected. Still think they look good. Game footage seems to be from a older build but it still looks very accurate to the original.

Man, nothing else to say than im super excited \:D/

EDIT: Also noticed in the split second the showed from the intro where fuku-san gets thrown out of the dojo, the hazy fog is back which was missing on the first trailer proving that it was a incomplete build and we shouldn't worry.

Jesus, hard to believe we are so close to a brand new game release of something Shenmue related. We fucking did it guys. All those hard sweat and tears campaigning on Twitter has let us to this. We #SavedShenmue.
