Haato_Ming_Xi Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) This was posted on reddit earlier https://www.alza.co.uk/shenmue-1-2-pack?dq=4661678 If this is true this is pretty good, been wanting to play these for a while + they will have trophies. Your guys thoughts on this? Hopefully the trophy lists count for two different games and not just combine both into one (danganronpa) Edited September 10, 2017 by ihate_ray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itachi-destroyer Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I remember playing those games when I was a child and I wasn't able to understand a damn thing because they were in english ... It was still fun but at least I am now going to be able to fully enjoy them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sega have said something along the lines of "we're looking into" making Shenmue 1 & 2 remasters before, so it wouldn't surprise me if it happened at some point. I wouldn't put much faith into that listing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the face animations i always see people asking where/how to play 1&2. ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skateak Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I think it makes sense and that it will. Sega we cool with them remastering the first Yakuza so why not remaster the first two Shenmue, considering there are a huge amount of people that are not familiar with the game or at least haven't played much. I have honestly only seen a few short videos about it, never actually played it so I hope the series can live up to its hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The remaster of Yakuza is the best remaster I've seen so far for the Ps4, With that said the games still look pretty good on the Dreamcast so I probably wouldn't get it on a Sony console. Now if sega can get Shenmue 3 together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Kiba Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Are those games actually any good? Started to watch a playthrough of first one and it just seemed kinda boring. I suppose if they remastered them it would be a chance to play them myself and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic story, very sad that it finished where it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamillitary44 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hopefully, this is true. I've been waiting quite a while to play these games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what you find fun - Shenmue 1 is like the videogame equivalent of 'The Room' - it's awful, but in a kind of glorious way. If you (like me) love watching terrible movies for fun, then this is the game version. Play with someone else around and you will have a great time! The voice acting is.... well, it has to be seen (heard?) to be believed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xMettx Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I won't believe this until I see a preorder link to Amazon, it's been talked about too many times for me to get hopes up just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon13 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Hope it's true... that's an instant pre-order from me. Especially if they put out a nice collectible retail disc release. I've been itching for a way to re-play through the games before the third game comes out. My disc copies of Shenmue I and II for the Dreamcast are pretty comfortable, I don't want to have to re-open them and play on the discs... nor do I really want to have to get a new Dreamcast to do so. Emulators are my backup option but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. Dreamcast emulation is dicey at best. Fair warning. I don't feel like the games have aged well at all. As I've said in other threads, a lot of what made Shenmue such a great game was it's technological prowess (for the time) and open world concepts. Freeform exploration, day/night and weather cycles, Virtua Fighter-esque combat with RPG style advancement, QTE's. A lot of stuff that has been tweaked to perfection, and in some cases shamefully overdone, since then... and if you take away the WOW factor with those mechanics back in the day... you're left with a pretty clumsy game, so-bad-it's-funny acting and a very cliche revenge story. An unfinished one at that. I'll gladly take the remasters because I'll personally love them to death (as I will Shenmue III whether it's really a good game or not)... but I may want to shut off the internet for a while after they come out. If they come out. The amount of people jumping on the hate bandwagon because of course a revered cult classic isn't as immediately satisfying as fans have spent the last 14 years "talking up", will be excruciating.

JapanimeGamer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 As mentioned a lot in the other Shenmue threads here it is widely accepted now that the HD remasters are inevitable. Also, that link is not real, the game does not yet exist, although it will nearer to Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
