Which is probably a good thing as I would have foolishly spent too much time on that

I can't help thinking there's a kind of retro charm in playing these on a Dreamcast with a good 4:3 CRT. Not to everyone's taste though and I can see appreciate that. Nostalgia is also a factor of course.. Well I think that's normal. I'd also play any old game on its original system if it wasn't th...

I was not expecting it this soon.
I'd like to replay those first two games pretty close to the Shenmue3 release date, which is still unknown.

Not that I care about the clown but I don't know why they even bothered to change it

Yeah I've always been under the assumption that with "old unused tracks" they were mainly referring to the compositional aspect of those tracks, to be updated with modern higher quality sounds, rather than the just the old audio files or DAW project files. Otherwise yes, the discrepancy co...

Yup. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.
I'm expecting great audio this time around

I'm a big fan of the Shenmue soundtrack. No wonder YS is (or was) also a musician. As it is also said in the video above, things and tools in the music production realm have exponentially grown in the last 10-15 years; sample libraries have outstanding sound quality, virtual instruments are great an...

Beautiful. Subscribed and looking forward to the rest.
How many parts in total?

How are MMO games doing nowdays? I remember they were huge 10-15 years ago... now I have no clue.

Me personally I'd rather get it uncropped 4:3 with the original shot framing intent, compared to having stuff just cut out. But really this is the last of my worries. Gameplay at 16:9 already pretty much satisfies all my needs.

Having it optional (original 4:3 and cropped 16:9) would be nice.

Not to worry anyone, but you can notice in the new trailer that NPC pop-in is still a thing. As Ryo is running towards the stairs in Wise Men's Qr, you see the guy in blue on the stairs fade in. Just noticed it when re-watching the trailer. Not sure I got what you meant. I mean, I can see the guy i...

Looks very smooth. Can't wait.

This one nicely connects the dots with the two previous releases.
That last fighting scene, again, it is so cool.

I'm getting the Black Scar Blues DVD by the way

Looks nice. In those years I would have even got time for an MMO

I remember abusing of that kind of feature on the first Xbox in my early teens :king: My idea changed over time... in pretty much any well thought and worth playing videogame, the music (and sometimes even absence of music) is 100% part of the experience. Music tracks and themes are literally handcr...
