Why SEGA didn't make a Shenmue HD Collection for PS360 again?
Ah yeah, because it's SEGA.
Trust me, you don't want to know the real reasons behind this.

There were some damn heavy rumours of Shenmue HD and Skies of Arcadia HD to follow Jet Set Radio HD. Whether JSR didn't sell well enough or this is typical modern Sega money problems cancelling dev (Anarchy Reigns year delay due to not being able to afford disc printing, Typing Of The Dead guys working out of a flat, etc) so they can't even get ports of their DC catalogue out, who knows.
Give the mark to Suzuki. Let him have it all, Sega.

When i was working at sega (QA), Shenmue HD was always on a list of games that were coming in, of course it never did. No idea why it didn't happen.
I swear I read a couple years ago that Shenmue HD remakes were complete for 360...............

why good games have to suffer so much?.. while others really not so good get sequels even if no one asks for them.

Opinions, how do they work.I said it a lot of times and I'll say it again. We will NEVER see Shenmue again, just don't bet on it. The IP is dead and had been dead for a very long time, it will neve come back. Shenmue has NOTHING to offer in th is day and age when a lot of games had since surpassed it.
My feelings exactly.

Afaik, it's mostly due to legal/copyright reasons.
back in '12 you may remember that Sega went into a port spree. JSR, Nights...they thought it was a great idea, with very low risk and nice proft potential since, well, they don't want to fund traditional AAA anymore. Multiple ports were in development, among them was the canceled Skies of Arcadia port.
Shenmue case was special since not many people know this, but apparently the engine for both games uses licensed technology. It's not Bink Video or Sofdec codecs, apparently it's related to the very own engine.
Well, the thing is, according to what I've been told, the owner of those technologies folded years ago, and it's not clear who owns the copyright now.
Someone shown Sega a working Shenmue prototype for Xbox 360...but after disappointing sales by JSR and Nights, they didn't care enough to bother with the legal hassle. So it never went through the prototype stage, and the Skies of Arcadia port was canceled.
And I guess my dream of getting Model 3/later arcade games ports went to shit as well ;(
Does Sega even really make games in house anymore? (aside from sonic).. Seems like most games that have the Sega name are just PUBLISHED by them..

Also, fuck SEGA. Fuck this world.

Eh? A new game could take every advancement from over the last decade and then build on top of it. Just looking at video and images of Shenmue, something as highly detailed and designed with today's graphics would be pretty awesome.
SEGA could rebuild interest, start with the HD re-release's and then give at least a modest budget to create the third game. The company is long gone anyway, they died mostly with the Sammy merger

Urm, yeah so? People can like what they like but in my opinion Shenmue 3 will never happen.
Visuals and art aren't everything. The gameplay doesn't hold up at all today. They have to change the formula a lot to make it work for in today's world.

Only good thing now is I hope people will stop thinking it's ever going to get another game & just move on. Yakuza is the same damn game any way.
