Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod, that obvious re-release we all wanted of those games we've already played a thousand times before is actually happening! I can't believe it, no matter how obviously eventual its announcement was!
I keed, I keed.
Still, not entirely sure what's so shocking about it. Seemed to me that it was going to happen sooner or later.
But yeah, I'll no doubt be getting both the Steam version and the boxed PS4 copy. Like Axm said, getting to buy Shenmue again at the store, taking it home, and plopping down in front of the tv is gonna be all kinds of nostalgic with this one. And the Steam one, I'll probably just leave running so my friends list can see it and maybe gain some kind of interest.
Great that they're going dual-language, too. Always wanted to play the full series in Japanese. Hello immersion.
EDIT: It occurs to me... the screenshots and video look like they're straight emulating the DC version of S2, but it might actually be a nice feature if you could turn on a filter or something to make it look more like the Xbox one. I know it's not everyone's cup o' tea, but y'know, just to be all-inclusive. It's just a bit of bloom lighting, really.
