Popular Post Suminya Posted April 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Finally! Thank you Sega! https://twitter.com/SEGA_OFFICIAL/status/984971035354124288 Spoiler ------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: The Steam page is already up -> http://store.steampowered.com/app/758330/Shenmue_I__II/ Here's the official overview for both games: Quote About Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and 2001, Shenmue I & II is an open world action adventure combining jujitsu combat, investigative sleuthing, RPG elements, and memorable mini-games. It pioneered many aspects of modern gaming, including open world city exploration, and was the game that coined the Quick Time Event (QTE). It was one of the first games with a persistent open world, where day cycles to night, weather changes, shops open and close and NPCs go about their business all on their own schedules. Its engrossing epic story and living world created a generation of passionate fans, and the game consistently makes the list of “greatest games of all time”. Story A tale of revenge. In 1986, teenage jujitsu artist Ryo Hazuki returns to the dojo of his father, Iwao Hazuki, only to witness his murder by a Chinese man, Lan Di. Lan Di steals a mysterious artifact known as the Dragon Mirror. Ryo vows to avenge his father’s death and sets out tracing Lan Di’s path. The first game in the series, Shenmue begins the tale as Ryo travels around Yokosuka, Japan, gathering clues about his father’s murder and dealing with nefarious gangsters along the way. The sequel Shenmue II continues Ryo’s quest, this time crossing the sea to Hong Kong, China. Ryo ventures deeper into the criminal underworld, meeting martial arts masters who aid him on his journey and offer insight into his father’s death, and unravels the mysteries of the Dragon Mirror that his father kept hidden. Gameplay Take the role of Ryo Hazuki. Explore a 3D open world searching for clues, examining objects, and talking to NPCs. Battle enemies and bosses making full use of the moves of Hazuki-style jujitsu. Beat quick-time events (QTEs) and mini-games. Key features The best Shenmue experience Pioneering Dreamcast classics available for the first time on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC Updated user interface Choice of modern or classic controls Japanese audio available for the first time for a global audience Fully scalable screen resolutions An epic legend A tale of revenge on a grand scale Solve the mystery of your father’s murder An experience never to be forgotten The world feels alive Talk to anyone, scour the world for clues NPCs live independent lives on their own schedule Faithful recreations of 1980s Japan and Hong Kong, China Distract yourself with arcade games, collectibles, duck racing, and more ------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT2: Enjoy the official announcement trailer.

ExHaseo Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 FINALLY! This is one series I've wanted a port for since the Dreamcast died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suminya Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 IGN has published a short article about this. The most interesting titbit is this one: Quote The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be available both digitally and at retail, while the PC version will be released via Steam. Preorders for all versions will go live "soon." Physical, baby. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon13 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! All I'll say, is that those of you without nostalgia on your side (ie. playing them for the first time)... they're rough games. I'm confident when I say they probably haven't aged well at all and expectations should be VERY tempered going in. I'll be enjoying the hell out of them though. Might even get some junk food and stay up all night playing like the good ol' days. Just now, Snow_Miku_2012 said: Physical, baby. ? YES! Even better!!

Honor_Hand Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Those are some great news. Got the first Shenmue on Dreamcast and I always thought it was a pretty innovative game for its time. Truth be told, never got to finish it, but still... the game is totally unique. Extra points for the game getting a physical release, nice. Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black__bunny Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Never played them, but the fact that I've heard so much about the series from fans makes me feel like ive missed a significant moment in gaming. Can't wait to it out for myself finally. And retail release?! Just take my damn money already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Fuck yes!!!! I’ve never played Shenmue 2 (never had a X-Box). But this will give me the opportunity to play it finally! Can replay the 1st one all over again. Day 1 buy for me!! Oh and I’ve noticed there’s no release date on this either. Hopefully, it comes soon!!

German_Atheist Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Yay! More fucking forklifting! Gimme more! Spoiler I've never had the opportunity to play the second game. Its Dreamcast EU release was quite limited and the price skyrocketed. I never owned an Xbox. Edited April 14, 2018 by Piano Reeves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccase137 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yes! With Shenmue 3 announced a few years ago I hoped for this and was worried that we had heard nothing. Having heard how this game was ahead of its time, I am looking forward to playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I kind of hope they don't make them TOO "updated" or whatever at the same time... idk they're niche, I'm just glad it's getting a normal physical release. ... at least I pray it's a standard release.

I could see myself playing through a Skies of Arcadia remaster, but unless the game assets on Dreamcast games get some heavy polishing, I'd keep the expectations in check.

StephenSan184 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Sounds like the Yakuza series (not trolling). Was Yakuza inspired by this series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people gave up on Shenmue and moved on to Yakuza, so your connection probably isn't far off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
