Cannot wait for August 21st. Any word on what the new controls are like? I know Adam had a go with them but can't remember if he passed comment on them?

I'd be going for a trailer & probable release date.

If it is a date then we could well have the HD releases by October.

Either way Sega is doing very well with the engagement hyping these releases.

As much as I liked the combat I think it had to change. I've been watching some play-throughs of the originals and I've seen lots of them struggle with the fighting system in the originals. I just hope it isn't over simplified. Hopefully the skill tree will integrate nicely. Controls wise it wouldn'...

I'll be very interested to see what the surveys look like.

Congratulations if you get one of these.

Things are really starting to kick into gear with the backer surveys on their way. Exciting times.

Shenmue 1 and 2 HD are looking crisp. Can't wait for a release date. Gutted they didn't announce it at E3 but given the Tweet from Oliver at Koch Media it would suggest a joint announcement on all 3 games coming soon, which is a good idea in my eyes as it creates buzz for all the games. I am just im...

I also got mine on a purchase of Shadow of the colossus.

Great offer.

A long time ago I think some of the moderators on the 500k tried to find the beta, with no success. I wonder if someone out there still has it?

I'd be interested to see it if it ever surfaced.

You're right it wasn't a game anyone from the fanbase wanted. Little did we know it would be the last definitive Shenmue game for a bloody long time, not including that Shenmue mobile game we got. I never got into MMO games either but I would probably have bought it because it was Shenmue. I'd like ...

To be fair they look good. The art style hasn't changed all that much and I like it.

The NPCs and compression are the biggest issue, of course. And lack of direction. I really don't care who they get to do the dub, but I do hope it's 'passable' this time just so we're not dealing with the same "Shenmue sucks" bullshit we always have to deal with. Hi there. I do not think ...

For me it has to be the Kowloon chapter. Such variation across the whole of the chapter and some neat touches. For example as above with Ryo's reaction to Ren in the Ghost Hall Building.

The whole area was so alive and the Yellow head part was really intense & left me wanting more.

Great to see things moving along so nicely.

Great update.

Maybe so. But 30 million+ going into Shenmue III is better than I could've imagined. 5 years ago I would've thought that would be impossible. The fact that we're even having this discussion right now is a testament to how far we've come. Not sure of the exact numbers right now, but through crowdfun...

What we are seeing with the limited amount of shots we have coming out is a game full of colour as Jibby says. Now look at most big triple A titles they do not use a wide ranging colour palette for their games. Lots of greys, sandy colours, browns and greens. They look good and from my limited under...

Even better it's pre-alpha stage. They are holding out on us!
