^ Would you by any chance be happy to be able to play in Japanese with English subtitles?

While it’s a shame the cutscene issue couldn’t be fixed, I’m very happy that they didn’t go down the 'cropped' route. (Edit: I meant 'zoomed in'. D'oh.) Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the announcement. The release date is right around the corner too! My only concern is with the Xbox version’s mor...

^ Yeah, if there were no way around the whole issue, then I would also much rather have the option to choose.

Well...it would be nice to get a Shenmue HD release date to tide us over in the meantime.

^ That would be awesome.
...and I would have to get a PS4 Pro sooner than anticipated. Damn ;)

WIP or not, they could have saved themselves the [massive] headache by just revamping the Passport models. Old fans would have been happy since those are essentially the ones they grew up with, while new fans… still wouldn’t give a crap. Problem solved, and money saved. But noooo, Ryo and Shenhua ju...

Pre-orders in the US all list the release date as Dec 31, 2018.
Placeholder?

Preserving the "exact" look and feel of the originals is primordial in this case.

More important than the time skips and all that other bullshit.

Honestly, the only “concern” I have at this point is that Yu Suzuki isn’t involved in these remasters. Being the architect behind the entire saga, it’s a shame that, for a multitude of reasons, this wasn’t/ couldn’t be the case. Hopefully, ___ years from now, when the Shenmue saga is completely over...

Zooming/cropping is a godawful idea.

Well, it's still a bit early to judge. The team member clearly said that some scenes were "currently" limited to 4:3, which sounds anything but final.

I would question if they are basing this off of what we've seen so far like many people here are doing, or if they have independently confirmed this from the source. Perhaps, but then again wouldn't it be weird for a reputable magazine like Famitsu to start throwing around random facts and figures ...

It's been confirmed already that it's a source code port: https://d3tltd.com/shenmue/ We can finally reveal that the d3t team have been resurrecting Shenmue from the original source code written over 20 years ago! Meaning, the Dreamcast code of Shenmue 2...or the Xbox code of the ported version? Re...

Re: the Leia scene- I have no problem with Rian Johnson's explanation...I just thought the execution itself was a bit cheesy. The overly dramatic music; the grandiose nature of Leia's pose as she's flying through space; etc. It could and should have been less cringy, IMO. To be honest, I...

The later the better, especially if Shenmue 3 gets delayed again (which I hope happens).

I want both teams to take their sweet, sweet time with each game in order for us to get the highest quality version possible.
