I have been a little disappointed with the SIII screens thus far, however that last screenshot from the kickstarter update does look very nice. The main characters still have a slight wierd CGI-rubbery look to them (mostly Ryo's jacket looks like a PVC jacket rather than leather) but the colours and...

True it may come down, but its quite a figure to have out the gate. Lots of pre-rendered video is a risk, but I'm not quite sure why they would feel the need to do it. Possibly for some bits that they don't want to make in the game (travel sequences or flash backs etc.) but otherwise I don't know wh...

So they have updated the Kickstarter page to include PC min specs - most noteworthy has to be the 100 GB of HDD space required! Reading on IGN they noted that the Witcher 3 requires a mere 45 GB of space. (Just as a way of reference) Minimum:OS: Windows 7x64, Windows 8x64, Windows 10x64 (64-bit OS R...

The footage is as good as it is short. I'm loving it despite the Youtube compression. Most of all, I feel reassured about the screen ratio. 16:9 seems to be secured for both Shenmue I & II. https://i.imgur.com/C80RUnA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mHKb9ij.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9KaFIlt.jpg https://i...

I actually think the biggest thing to get used to with the S3 screens are that its bright and almost over bloomed. If you go look at (especially S1) the old games theres a weathered sort of greyness to them. Some of S2 was brighter (especially the harbour in SII) but Kowloon and even Guilin had a mo...

Dont know if this was posted up with regards to chapter 2: The Cutting Room Floor Q: I’ve heard that there was going to be a “Chapter 2 – The Boat” between Shenmue I and Shenmue II, but Shenmue II starts with Ryo disembarking from the boat, doesn’t it. And the mother of a little girl makes reference...

Not really an issue for me as I'm way too busy these days to keep a gaming PC up to date alongside everything else - I also didn't back that so was never getting it (my main machine is a development machine with the CAD focused graphics chips which has lots of power but random specialist hardware on...

Chapter 2. Fully playable. Mic drop. Wasn't there other stuff in the boat chapter that happened that would affect the rest of the game? I remember seeing a storyboard and I think once they took that chapter out they had to rework the rest of Shenmue 2 slightly. I guess they could just change chapte...

Now the dev team have confirmed its a Shenmue II X-Box port I would expect so. They may do some work on some of the effects etc. but thus far it looks like a pretty direct port.

new screenshots looking hot. Im pretty sure there will be a 4:3 mode and 16.9 mode, similar to classic and modern controls. I'm more excited to play Shenmue 2 this time around as i played it far less than Shenmue 1. These screenshots are only adding to that excitement, especially the shenmue tree s...

I don’t mind if it’s a straightforward upscale port, but at the price point and sort of marketing push they’ve got going with a physical release I feel it’s going to be over priced. As a fan I will get it day 1 and play away but the wider consensus is likely to be very different. Either do a lot of ...

It's certainly possible and probably not difficult to implement if Sega still has the original recordings. If that's the case I expect the audio to be improved, since as you point out, the dreamcast audio is highly compressed and sound quite bad by todays standards. It all depends on if the origina...

So they have simply banged in a quick port of the Xbox version It’s a PS Store release dressed up as a proper remaster. Again let me reiterate: it's ok to discuss these concerns, but when you begin passing this speculation off as fact like the above examples it becomes a problem. Please be mindful ...

Sega had previously said it was "investigating" a potential re-release of the Shenmue games, although at the time the publisher said it wasn't simply a matter of porting the titles to modern consoles. "With games as immersive as [Shenmue and Shenmue II], there are further complicatio...

Ok so clearly they were lying. They’ve simply taken the X-Box (which is pretty much a PC in a box) version taken the engine converted it to run on more modern hardware and loaded Shenmue 1 into it. Problem is the engine is entirely proprietary so I doubt that they are going to add anything to it oth...
