SEGA registers Shenmue HD domain
- Thread starter TimmiT
- Start date
Not really. SEGA aren't beholden to any agreement between YSnet and Sony, and can announce this on their own time.
You'll get to choose your platform when the backer surveys go out. Current plan is for them to launch this summer.

Yes, please. Make it happen!
Now I think it's likely that they'll come to fruition.
This. Shenmue I and II are still theirs

iOS Port, please.
I always say Sega isn't doing enough with their franchises. They would sell if they put effort in em.

PSX would have been a nice time to announce the Valkyria Revolution localization, but they did that at a separate event afterward. It feels like the Yakuza localizations are Sega's only presence at PSX and that may be because of Sony's influence.

Well they dont have to, but not syncing up and maybe piggy backing off some fresh Shenmue 3 news seems real dumb.
This is totally happening. I expect "here is the debut trailer for Shenmue 3, Also play Shenmue 1-2 HD on X-X-2017" at some point between now and E3
I just wouldn't expect a huge amount of synergy between the two. YSnet and SEGA are understandably keeping each other at arm's length with a clear dividing line about where individual rights and responsibilities begin and end.

They will announce it at E3 to pad the Shenmue 3 delay because that is NOT coming out in '17

Game 1.2 million copies on the Dreamcast
Wasn't it, like, the 4th best-selling game on the Dreamcast of all time?
Also, a lot of people fell in love with later on. I only got around to playing Shenmue II on my Xbox 360 last year.
... I'm all in. Great game. Great series.
Again, this is assuming there's any kind of synergy between the releases, which based on what we know there is not.
It is what it is. If Shenmue III was to be crowdfunded, SEGA had to distance themselves from the project to a very clear role as rights holder who licenced the IP out to Yu Suzuki and YSnet.

It was critically acclaimed and sold to over 10% of the Dreamcast's installed base.

I'll pick it up on day one if it comes to fruition.

I need those dual audios! Yeah, the japanese wasn't great either, but it's damnright way better than the English. Plus, for the sake of completness!
i feel like recently sega games are coming out on steam pretty often.

chances are very high. Sega is very PC friendly these days.

never played much of these games so I dunno what I was missing but I feel like the Yakuza series being so prominent in the last decade will have dulled the charm that Shenmue had
or maybe I'm wrong and it will be fun to play.

I only played it last year. It's definitely a product of its time, but it's also charming as hell, really fun, and I can still appreciate how innovative and impressive it was upon release. It's a fun journey that paved the way for countless other games we take for granted today, and while it's a tad rough by comparison, it was crafted on Dreamcast hardware and that utterly boggles my mind given its final scope and presentation.

Offcourse but it would have made sense, Boyes said playstation fans have been very very very vocal about the franchise at e3.
And they love pleasing the fans at PSX. Yakuza localisations too.I think it mostly means we're going to get it fall 2017 if it's happening, announcement at e3. Fingers crossed.
Hopefully it will be complete with everything a fan could wish (things like supporting both english and japanese dubs and more).
Native 16:9 support and other stuff would be pretty awesome to see, I'm really excited. .
Shenmue 1+2 officially on pc, hopefully this time it gets out instead of just not getting out.

Yakuza has really spoiled Shenmue.. To be honest, Shenmue doesn't hold up well at all. But it's still they were great games for the time.
And unless these HD versions have at least new controls (especially movement) then honestly i wouldn't bother

I don't think they could get away with releasing them without new controls. It's painful to play them now.
Pull a Resident Evil Remake HD and include both options. That would work, I think.

I know this is the internet and hyperbole is on the menu 24/7, but do people reaaaaaally have this much problem adapting to old control schemes?
Maybe I'm a secret gaming wunderkind for being able to go back to old games I've never played before with weird controls (shout out to Headhunter on Dreamcast).
They'll probably add some tweaked control schemes in.
Speak for yourself. I would actually prefer if Sega just gave it the solid PC port treatment that they are known for and left it at that.

I played Shenmue for the first time on my Dreamcast in 2009 and got used to the controls pretty fast.
They're dated but the game is by no means unplayable.
