[Rumour] Shenmue 1 and 2 HD Remaster Coming 2017
- Thread starter OrionsNebula
- Start date
Again, nobody said it would be PC exclusive. Also most Kickstarter campaigns lose momentum half-way through, their peaks are usually at the campaign start and end.

I know that. What I'm saying is that the PS4 physical reward that was introduced helped the kickstarter out of a major lull halfway through.
Should be released everywhere.

I'm not sure I would want to replay them. As much as I loved the games, at this point I just want to play Shenmue 3 and finally get a conclusion to the story. However it would be nice to own the games on a platform that still works (my DC died years ago)
I could probably play through them again to show my wife.

I don't think you're going to get a conclusion to the story with 3. Yu Suzuki said that he would have to cram too much plot in to complete the saga as a trilogy.

It will most likely be PS4/PC exclusive
Time to get into Yazuka!

Wonder how many blind shenmue 3 backers will pick this up and begin to regret backing shenmue 3 🤔
Please no. I don't like having people inside me.
The story will not be concluded with Shenmue 3 - according to Yu Suzuki. There may be at least another 2 games before that.

Just like with every Shenmue 3 rumor that came before it was announced, I'm just going to nod my head and say cool if true! But I'm not getting excited until I see it officially announced.

I'm more interested in an HD remaster of 1+2 than playing 3 tbh.

Maybe this can come out with those vapor ware pc ports they promised
The only disappointing thing about the game as played nowadays is probably the controls. I hope they can make the controls more modern but otherwise not change a thing besides making it wide-screen and improving the textures if possible. God I want to play Shenmue 1 again and complete Shenmue 2 which I never did before.

I'd say they will be announced at E3 along with a trailer for both of the remasters, to cushion the trailer for Shenmue 3 having a 2018 date at the end of it.
Also stagger the release of Shenmue and Shenmue 2. Release Shenmue HD on the original games date (November 25th) since it's a Christmas themed game anyways, then Shenmue 2 in March 2018. Not only does it keep the excitement alive and encourage both old and new fans to join the series, but also ease a bit of pressure off of YSNET to get the game done to Suzuki-sans standards.

If that's the way they want me to wait for shenmue 3 , i'd say that it's a fair trade.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) But Space Harrier.

will this come out before mighty no. 9 3ds?
I hope that involvement includes the ability to import save files from I&II Remaster into III =) =) =) =)
Honestly, that was one of my favorite aspects of II: being able to take my personalized Ryo with me, right down to the capsule toy collection.
A shame that it won't be likely to hit XB1, but if III isn't there I don't see the point. Same deal with Switch, though if it's a success out of the gate, maybe the whole trilogy can be ported later. I sure wouldn't turn down portable Shenmue.
What reward are you referring to? I backed the game for a PS4 physical copy (and more) on day one.

I would buy the shit out of this. Please do it Sega! I never played the games but def would now. Do the same for Yakuza too!

In my fucking veins.
yeah i know. i play lots of games on PC mind you, but admittedly i don't usually factor them in when it comes to the console games market.

Said this would happen and still think it will. Working out licencing issues takes sometime, but is also quite editable should there be bigger issues. Meanwhile Shenmue itself clearly now has a definable audience thanks to the kickstarter, so Sega are much happier to move with it I'd guess

They better reconfigure the horrible controls.
Thanks!

I would love this, as I've never played these games . It would also be a good way to get more interest in shenmue 3 outside of previous fans as it's not like the game will be stand alone .
