Look, I made a post a few years back. I can't remember if it was here or another forum, but I remember saying something along the lines of "hell, just give me Shenmue 1 and 2, up the resolution to 1080p, slap them on a disc with dual audio options and I'll be happy". Maybe that's all we're really getting *shrug*
Sega have ported a lot of old games in the past with only minor upgrades. I mean didn't their Sonic Adventure HD port last generation mix 4:3 and 16:9 (or maybe it was just exclusively in 4:3)?
Tbf, rough remasters are not exclusive to Sega. Beyond Good & Evil HD, Final Fantasy X, Devil May Cry Collection, Ratchet & Clank HD, God of War Vita, all these remasters didn't have proper 16:9 support.
Personally, I don't feel such a resentment towards Sega, neither D3T though. It's just that the port will not add any substantial value (widescreen, 60 fps or audio improvement) for me who played the both games on emulator. So I see no reason to replay them at the moment.
