So getting shenmue 1 & 2 hd and being able to play it on pc and ps4 and whatnot is not enough...We've got nothing to complain about really, a couple of years ago the idea of shen 1 & 2 HD and s3 being released, let alone on the same year, seemed ridiculous...

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 complex, the audio files already exist, and they're just going to map the d-pad to the analog stick. Look to the features that others have requested for items that would require effort from the developer.

I'm ecstatic that we're getting a physical release of Shenmue 1+2 on modern consoles. Just don't give Sega any credit for merely hopping on the gravy train. The fans and YS resurrected the series. Now Sega will cash in with a minimal effort.

I will play the hell out of this port, but I'm a fan of the original games already. Newcomers to the series will be looking to these ports to determine if they want to purchase Shenmue 3. The moment they are inundated with Shenmue 1's requirement of wasting time they will be turned off. That's a scenario that affects the future of Shenmue and should be a concern to everyone here.

On top of this, there's been a pretty big influx of relatively large streamers playing the game all whom that I've seen (+ their chat) have really enjoyed it. Heck, BrutalMoose even said it was one of his favourite games of all time after playing Shenmue I.
I don't think this is a big of an issue as people are making it out to be.
Return to Shenmue I & II Re-Release
