Re: Concerns about Shenmue HD.

He is saying that while Shenmue 1 had the most cutting edge graphics out of any other game at the time and still failed to be a financial success, somehow 20 years later it will make Sega rich if these old games are at least on par with a current gen game graphically speaking because why not? It ju...

Re: Concerns about Shenmue HD.

Some interesting things have been done with emulators. But they are usually accompanied with some serious caveats that would prevent them from ever being released commercially. Like the depth of field effect that looks cool in still images but is a glitchy mess in gameplay. It's a long road from 't...

Re: Update #85: Survey Info #2: $7M stretch goal reached!

The new screenshot looks amazing! This means that the stretch goals are still on,right? Despite the backing from Deep Silver? I'm sure this, and other, features were already being worked in. I would think it would be a pain to add in unplanned features this far in development. Passing a stretch goa...

Re: Concerns about Shenmue HD.

Even if the re-releases were perfect I think they would do nothing to help sales of Shenmue 3, and will probably hurt them in all likelihood. People who have never played these games aren't going to enjoy them. I'm sure the majority of video game revenues are from individuals too young to have playe...

Re: Random Shenmue III Thoughts

Shenmue III will be at Gamescom. Considering the runaway pre-order success and reception of Shenmue 1 and 2, it arguably has to be with no exceptions. It might be wise to show and try to build on that hype, but one could very easily argue that the game doesn't have to show at Gamescom. Shenmue 3 ha...

Re: Random Shenmue HD Thoughts

Can someone who has some knowledge on the subject explain to me why it's possible to easily emulate the shenmue games at 60fps but not implement it in to the remasters without having to rewrite the entire code? I'm a bit confused how an emulator can tell the engine to output at 60fps but it's impos...

Re: Random Shenmue III Thoughts

If I'm being 100% honest, and I hate to be a negative nancy, but I really have 0 faith in Shenmue 3 being any good at all. I want it to be amazing, hell I backed at the $250 level, but I just can't lie to myself. All the odds are completely against this game, the relatively low budget, the small de...

Re: RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED: Shenmue 1 & 2 will launch 21/8/

I don't care about 4:3, 16:9 , letterboxes, HD, SD or any of that. I'm just glad that I can finally play Shenmue again and that Sega answered my lifelong dream of playing Shenmue I with some bloom on my TV. Life is good. This! I could not agree more. Not only are we getting BOTH games released for ...

Re: Anyone disappointed with Shenmue 3 cartoon-like graphics

I always respond to this question with this: [image](c/o Centrale et al) So, personally, my answer is no. Shenmue has always been highly stylized imo, and I believe it's just the difference in fidelity and graphical tech between a 20 yo game and an UE4 game that is causing the perceived dissonance ...

Re: Kickstarter update #81 - Shenmue 3 delayed until 2019

I do think that Deep Silver's addition changed the scope of the game. That kind of reworking was never going to meet a 2018 release date.

Re: Random Shenmue III Thoughts

If the scope of the game shifted at all due to Deep Silver's involvement, then I'd say a delay is a near certainty. If the scope changed and they tried to release yet in 2018 then it would be a rushed product.

Re: Shenmue HD - Are the cutscenes in 4:3 (Non-Widescreen)?!

Announcing the release date at another date gives you another chance to be trending on twitter and the top story on websites, casting a wider net for people to see news about this game and becoming interested. If they announced everything about the game straight away the game wouldn’t be talked abo...

Re: No Time Skip In Shenmue I

They're adding zero features to the game that require any real work. I wouldn't say that. They completely revamping the controls, redoing the UI from scratch as well as adding options for both Japanese and English audio. None of these things are exactly easy feats. Yes they are. The UI isn't comple...

Re: No Time Skip In Shenmue I

A lot of people calling this decision "admirable". My money says that Sega is too lazy to implement a time skip. They're adding zero features to the game that require any real work. It would be in everyone's best interest for them to add the time skip, but this is about getting some of th...
