So far, seems like it, yes. At least according to the
Gematsu galleryPeople should stop shutting down any discussion about the criticisms observed so far with the "It's work in progress" retort.
No shit, it's work-in-progress, we know that...But If we don't voice our concerns now, then when do you suggest voicing it? A month from now? two months from now? Do you know when the game is supposed to be complete? No? Then please stop jumping down people's throats and let us point out the flaws that we can observe from the currently available material.
If by any chance the developer did not intend for those flaws to be "fixed", then at least we could spur them to do so. If they did intend to fix them from the start, then... No harm done? Seriously telling people who want to discuss and point out these flaws that "It's work-in-progress" accomplishes nothing but stifles the discussion. No one appointed you as d3t's spokesman.
Anyway, aside from the wide-screen stuff, there doesn't seem to be any shadows in all Shenmue 2 scenes, which is something that is reminiscent of the X360 version. I hope they fix that too, it made the X360 ver. looks too flat.
EDIT: To be clear, I didn't intend for this post to be a response to what ShenGC said above, it's a response to a general sentiment I've seen in multiple threads here and on other forums and social media since HD remasterd's announcement.
