That just looks like Mark Cerny is holding a gun against the back of his skull, he's got the look of a killer.

I've heard that the originals didn't really age well in terms of gameplay, wouldn't that mean a remaster would probably do more harm than good?
Yeah but it didn't help Sega just bungled the Saturn launch. Gamecube didn't exactly set the world on fire either. DVD helped the PS2 immensely with people who never really played games either.

Agreed with this as well. But the "needed DVD" argument is far too simplistic (and amateur journalism that focused on just that).
It was business decisions that weighed much heavier, and failed marketing to capitalize on being a "pure games" machine.
I'm going to entertain that this is even a possibility for a moment.
A remake would be more feasible. The originals' controls and loading screens would be a huge turn off for modern open-world fans. Streamlining the movement/camera and making the cities into seamless transitions would do a lot towards making them more palatable to people who grew up playing GTA 3 and its children.
Releasing at $60 retail would probably be a mistake. A series of $10-$15 digital chapters would make those less hesitant more willing to give the game/series a try.
The originals have aged pretty poorly in almost every sense (controls, gameplay, pacing, script, voice acting).
To make the series appealing to a modern audience you would pretty much have to remake Shenmue from the ground up. Adventure-style gameplay where you talk to a bunch of poorly-voiced NPCs until you hit the right one is not really going to fly. The game's world that seemed immaculate, detailed and immesne at the time would be a tiny hallway by comparison to today's titles.
From everything I've seen of the game that's the impression I get.
So if they do go for it then I don't think they should bother with remasters, but rather a remake or reboot or a sequel that makes a serious effort to get new people up to speed (like me).
Why does his avatar resemble a Mii character is what I'm wondering.
Why do they keep doing this to us.
The most logical interpretation of this is that he simply saw a forklift and thought of Shenmue. Of course Shenmuegaf sees it as a tease of Shenmue 1 through 8 all with AAAA budgets. Why why do you guys do this?
With all the good sh** thats been happening lately (especially japanese localization wise)
I think atleast a remaster isnt such a far fetched idea
"They" don't do anything. You guys do it to yourselves.
A Shenmue HD Remaster would have about the same effect as Grim Fandango Remastered.
It would be a fun treat for fans of the series and an interesting time capsule for anyone that wasn't around for the original, but it's not going to reignite interest in new Shenmue games. A lot of reactions will be stuff like "I can't believe you guys tolerated this problem or those features back then!" Much like how a lot of new Grim Fandango players marvel at obtuse advanture game puzzles.
And what you're saying is probably correct. Still he has to be aware of what he did and the reaction it would cause.
I don't want to censor tweeting habits, but tweeting a picture without commentary and during the hypest week of the year is a sure way to torture your fans!It's his baby. If things he sees in the real world remind him of his creation he can't share it on his twitter account? There are people who share their inane meals and daily morning shits.

That seems a little unrealistic to me.

I'm ready to leave that cave.
I haven't played Grim Fandango but this sounds about right in regards to Shenmue 1 + 2. They were groundbreaking and very unique at the time but now? I dont know.
I feel the same way when I think about playing SNES or PS1 RPGs and remember bullshit like incessant random battles and save points. I know some modern RPGs intentionally try to include those things for authenticity but its all been done better over the years imo.

All the naysayers can say what they want.

You don't lead me and my brethren in our huddled TLG mass 😞😞😞I already told you to believe. WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN TO ME I AM THE LEADER OF ALL THE HUDDLED MASSES
It does seem like an unusual thing to just happen.Interesting, after all these years the coincidence is rather odd to say the least.
