Amazing.

 

[Pancake Mix]

fuck the licensed stuff. just do generic and let PC modders put it back in.

PS4 and XB1 are large markets, so no, don't screw us over.

Well, they also should investigate how to give us PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2! :'(

They said they were doing that last week and the Shenmue question this week even referenced that answer.

[SinCityAssassin]

Tighten those graphics on level 3, Sega.

 

[SMG]

First Shenmue I & II HD

Then Jet Set Radio Future HD

Then Segagaga HD

I want to live in a world where Sega spams digital retail with all thier old games. Why can't I give them cash for a arcade port of Last Bronx?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Day 0 if true!

[KingJ2002]

It would be good if they did it prior to the Shenmue 3 release... let players get up to speed on the franchise.

 

[DarkChronic]

Would really love this. Never played them, want to see what all the fuss is about before Shenmue 3 drops!

0.000000000000000000000000001% but sure.

 

[Saoshyant]

Because there's no money in it.

Sega of Europe (the guys who do PC ports) are run by a skeleton crew. If they are going to bet on a horse, it has to be a winning one out of the gate or they will be reduced further into nothing.

 

[LowSignal]

They both have aged but I wouldn't mint playing them again. It would be a good pre order bonus

 

[Jabba]

The only correct answer.

Nixxes too.

 

[Kayo Police]

Just pay Bluepoint and get it over with SEGA.

 

[Goliath]

SEGA, don't bother releasing Shemnue 1&2 HD on the PS4 or XB1. It CLEARLY isn't working for Capcom with their profitless resident evil HD remakes..........

 

[Sumio Mondo]

SEGA are so fucking slow as molasses with this. They've had at least a couple of years to action this knowing that S3 was happening. And they're only just now "investigating" it when S3 will be probably be out before they get off their butts and take advantage of sales of a HD remaster of those two games. At least Capcom had the sense of re-release REmake and RE0 before the RE2 remake releases.

 

[RedToad64]

Is it really that difficult to do some simple ports? I don't think people would mind if the licensed products change.

 

[Augemitbutter]

would buy this so hard. physical, limited, everything.

 

[Shadoken]

Is it really that difficult to do some simple ports? I don't think people would mind if the licensed products change.

Am trying to think as to what licensed stuff the game even had. I cant even remember them. The sodas were all Jet-Cola or something. Hardly doubt anyone is going to care.

The only memorable licensed thing were the arcade machines , which were SEGA games themselves.

Wow are you serious? If so you just made my day wow!

PSO2 is coming sooo late. I feel like they would announce the next PSO game by the time it comes here.

Then they will not bring that over because PSO2 didnt "perform well in the west"

Its a lose lose situation.

 

[Joqu]

I'm tired of trying to get my Dreamcast copy working, so I really need this to happen. I want to experience these games before Shenmue 3 releases.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Very excited if true .

 

[SEGAvangelist]

PRETTY PLEASE

 

[Tenacious-D]

Are they investigating Vanquish, Bayonetta or Resonance of Fate, as well?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Please!

 

[Spaghetti]

I assume the legal wrangling involved for licenced products is at least in a manageable state for them to say even this much.

So-

Shenmue HD Collection confirmed..?

The games still look great via emulator at 1080p, so even if they don't touch the visuals (beyond rendering at 16:9) the games should look great. Shenmue II's colour palette is awesome.

Control refinements and adding Shenmue II's save system into the original are changes I'm expecting, but I'd be happy to see what else can be done to enhance the games.

Would you please send me the link to the page it says it's coming to the west? I would have send you priv message but you don't allow so sorry for double post. Thank you.

Here's a reminder as to why it's not that easy to make

It seems to be licensing issues with the engine.

 

[Panajev2001a]

There is a chance they forgot and are trying to license them from themselves.

 

[Seik]

It's simple though.

They just have to DO IT.

Sure

This time stamp in last week's Sega Central is where they said they were looking into it, but "can't definitively say that it's coming."

 

[FZW]

Just make sure its multiplat... if not, I wont even bother.

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

Well, it's something at least. Do hope this isn't just for PR brownie points and they are actually looking into things.

And like someone said, if re-acquiring branding licenses act as a roadblock towards bringing the games back onto the scene, then they're probably better off replacing them. Getting the licenses back for the game would be nice to have, but shouldn't be necessary IMO.

 

[javac]

There's legalities probably stopping them from doing so.

 

[jmizzal]

How hard is it to do, come on now give me a break investigating

 

[CreeperBlocks]

You can do it Sega. Please do it!

 

[TheSpoiler]

Sony please.

 

[jennetics]

Not sure why they're "investigating" the issue since it's a super simple solution.

"Save As" the game data and change the type to ".HD" instead of ".dst" and ".xbx"

Typical lazy developers

Spoiler

Is a /s necessary for a reply like this? I'd hope it's obvious enough.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Hope they can finally find the motivation to jump over the legal hurdles and make this a reality. I'd love an HD refresher of Shenmue before the 3rd one comes out.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Acknowledging Shenmue HD before a Vanquish remaster.

*hello darkness my old friend*

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Prove me wrong, Sega.

 

[batfax]

Branding? Screw that. Ryo can wear a Time-axe watch for all I care. I mean, they already changed Coke products to Jet Cola so what's the big deal?

 

[qcf x2]

I'm ready, but what is "Heych Dee?" I think it's time to ask everybody in town what they know about "Heych Dee."

Also they need to get the controls right. Game would be dope on steam w/ the mod potential.

 

[Spade]

Please.

 

[CertifiedFP]

They could slap the original discs image on an emulator and they would manage to get losses somehow.

Well, I mean, if one of the lucky new copyright holders for the engine's code notices they didn't get their cut, I'd say Sega'd get losses from the lawsuit.

Heych Dee? Are they related to Selfairea Blesh?

 

[Alex_Mexico]

I'm a Shenmue 3 backer even though I've never laid a hand on any Shenmue game before. I need this badly.

What the actual fuck? PSO2 being released in the West is a giant WIN for any fans of the franchise,which obviously you are not one of. Doesnt matter how late there are thousands of people who would jump on that.

Step 1: Find telephone number for Blitworks

Step 2: Call Blitworks

Guys.

The video directly states "licenced products".

Either any middleware licencing was sorted already, or it was never a problem. I'm personally of the opinion it might never have been an issue, as nothing besides that one post ever substantiated anything regarding middleware problems. That's neither here nor there though.
