Honestly, I know a lot of people who loved playing Daytona USA back in the day (some still play when they find a cab), but none of them know that the game had a HD remake.There was (for a Sega game) a lot of demand for a NiGHTS sequel for quite a while, the demand was Shenmue-esque. The PS2 remake sated some of that, and Journey into Dreams was hyped quite a bit after it was announced, but after JoD came out, any NiGHTS demand kind of died off, I guess. Between those two, I guess there wasn't much demand for a NiGHTS HD.
I'm much more surprised that Daytona USA HD didn't do better, millions of people must have played it and had fond memories of it. And yet...

Sega aren't too bad for shutting down fan projects really. The Streets of Rage Remake seems to have been an exception, and IIRC that could have been precipitated by their taking of donations, something that is terribly unwise for any IP infringing fan project.
I hate hearing things like this...They did an excellent job on the HD version of Daytona USA. The only thing that let the game down was the online lobby system.
Seems like they need to do a little more marketing...most likely a release for PC would have helped.
Wow, if the arcade was like that in the original no one would have progressed through the story haha. It's really OTT, even has games like Magical Taluluto-kun for some reason? Super impressive though, appears to be pre-rendered CGI rather than an in-game engine, unless it;s something like Unity?
Why the fuck is Sega doing NOTHING worthwhile with the Shenmue IP?
So where does this project ultimately go? Just re-creating scenes from ShenMue 1 or will the creator go to Sega and ask permission for a full-blown re-boot?
What's the legal situation if the fan remake hired more people and went to crowd funding to fund this "fan version?" As long as they don't earn money for selling the game and it's a fan game, there shouldn't be an issue, right? Is this greyer than perceived?
Fans do what Segadon't.
Sorry to Bump this, but just wanted to add the progress that NoconKid has made with the mod. Shenmue HD Dobuita - at night, whilst raining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpzRBC5zvaI
Seriously, this is ONE guy. Why can'y Sega at least get a couple of people to work with him, pay the guy a small wage and bring this to fruition?

Truer words have never been spoken...or posted.This series has such fucking amazing music. Yuzo Koshiro have my babies.
Impressive...but this is definitely grounds on cease and desist, at least we know that someone can make better stuff than Sega.

Amazing.
What engine is being used for this? Heard that part of the problem of re-releasing A port was because there were some legal issues with using the original engine. Well they could use this one instead?
Is Sega even aware of this man's amazing work?
This is being done in Unreal engine.
Where's the stretch goal that makes this an official HD port?
I'm guessing it would be easier to re-do everything themselves than to figure out if they can use what he did, how to pay him or if the work he did was good enough...?
They should just give this dude a good team to make the HD remaster and port it to PS4/PC
