It is what it is. I always find it kind of uninteresting for us to worry about what Yu should have/could have/would have done. At the end of the day, we don't know what he agreed on with Sega, Shibuya and Deep Silver, or what other plans he might have had for S3 at some point in the past. In the en...

I just can't justufy 99% of the choices they've made with this re-lelease, let's call it that way instead of "HD" If its true that they are working with source code I don't see a single reason why they are taking so many wrong decisions. Specially the one related to resolution, But I see ...

At the moment I have on preorder: Two copies of US PS4 version, two copies of the US Xbone version, two copies of the Asian PS4 version, one copy of the European PS4 version and one copy of the European Xbone version. Will buy the Japanese PS4 version as soon as it's up for preorder and buy the PC ...

I'm not sure which continental division of Sega is publishing the Steam version. Is it Sega Europe, Sega of America? I don't know. From a global perspective, ti seems it would have made sense to include Spanish subtitles but for some reason(s) we don't know, someone calling the shots decided agains...

i dont know how expensive or hard it is to provide more languages, but if you already invest money in something like german and french menues and subtitles, wouldnt it be clever to invest in all of the most spoken languages - like spanish? Not for Sega Europe. Spanish only has like 45 million nativ...

I've contacted Sega Europe's support about which subtitles are planned for the game. Here's the reply I got. Vincent, Jul 5, 15:09 BST: Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting SEGA Support. The European version of the game will have English, French and German subtitles available. I hope this inform...

Today, I walked into my local Gamestop and preordered and fully paid two copies of S1 & 2 HD, one for PS4, one for Xbox One. Yes, I actually went into a shop and bought a Shenmue game. The guy in the shop didn't seem to know Shenmue but it took him like one second to find it in his system. He l...

Yeah, this generation it has happened to me with Gravity Rush for instance. I have treid to play the first one or two hours of it for two times now already, but simply couldn't get into it. I still wanna finish it some day because it does give me the feeling that it's a very good game but it kind o...

Play Asia have put in August 22nd as a release date for the Asian (Japanese audio, Chinese and English subtitles) version. They don't accept preorders yet, though which is weird. They do for the US PS4 and Xbone versions. https://www.play-asia.com/shenmue-i-ii-chinese-english-subs/13/70c4v1

I never really thought of Shenmue as looking "realistic", even in the early 2000's. There have always been characters who were clearly manga-like or cartton-like if you will. Chai, Doi Niu, Tom, for instance. But also to an extent Joy, Ren, Lan Di and Mario, the Pizza guy who is a straigh...

I'm a (slacker) backer too, but I'm fine with the delays, really. Never really played any of the Castlevania games so I can't comment on that. But regarding that 3-d vs. 2-d topic, I think I've once read an interview with Igarashi once in which he said, they wanted to make this game in a 3-d engine...
