Why won't SEGA release a HD version?

[asdfguy]

I've said it countless times before. there will never be a shenmue hd release. simply because it's not worth the time and the money to invest in it. they would have to reprogram certain parts as well like the qte's and sponsor things like timex. in general it's quite a bit of work to rerelease a massive game like this. look at square and final fantasy x remake for instance. that cost a lot of money and effort and that is final fantasy 10. square's benchmark rpg

What do you mean exactly? Why would they have to reprogram QTE's and sponsor things?

I can understand some sponsors may have to be replaced, but it doesn't seem such a big deal to me.
It's mainly a matter of textures, isn't?

This is exactly what I said. Japanese version of Shenmue had the Coca Cola vending machines. This was removed on the U.S and EU release.

I know for some of you this constitutes a "sacrilege", but can you picture it?

All we need is a ShenmueShock Controller for the PS4 with classic letter buttons and a Shenmue design.

You mean, this:

[BlueMue]

Well, I don't see letters on the buttons and it has the wrong VMU screen but it's close enough.

The lack of colour compared to Dreamcast/Xbox buttons is slightly disconcerting and odd-looking, but that's most likely because we're all so used to the aforementioned and anything else looks alien. We'd forget about the difference soon enough, though, but for the anally retentive who couldn't possibly bear to accept such a minimal change, however... well, that's their problem

Holy shit, i just realized that im gonna be sucking at the qtes now in shenmue 3 since thats not coming out for dc and the icons are different cause im not used to the PS control button.... darn...
Since the xbox and the dc have the same ABXY button setup at the same places, it was all good, but now when it says PRESS SQUARE or something.. i will have to look down at my controller and probably failing at the qte... darn, i tried playing Yakuza and thats on Playstation and everytime theres a qte there i always end up failing at it... hmmm

[FlagshipFighter]

You'd better get practising with Haruka's kareoke missions in Yakuza 5.

I sometimes mess up on my QTE's because of the color display. When "A" shows up I think to press "B" because its red on a Xbox 360 controller. GAH!

Yeah, Shenmue 3 is gonna suck even more now for us lel.

[Mr357]

Perhaps we should ask them to include an option for classic colors on the QTE's. Worst case scenario, it could be modded in.

[Yokosuka]

I think the best way for Sega/YSnet would be to display the buttons bigger and without the black background. The colors in Bluemue's version really don't emerge enough. We're far from the spirit of the toy that inspired Suzuki for the QTE invention.

You have to look at this from SEGA's perspective: fans desperately want Shenmue I & II HD to compliment the long awaited release of Shenmue III. So, if we just use SEGA's logic, we will most assuredly receive, 'Sonic & Tails Wheel of Fortune'.
