You're right, missed the tree cutscene from S2, but that makes me think that they'll keep S1's cutscenes 4:3. It shouldn't be too hard to make them 16:9, but this port doesn't scream high quality.

I think for a game that came out in 1999 it's quite impressive.This is how good the game is.
It's hard to fucking tell.
Honestly, for a game from nearly 20 years ago it holds up visually.
Deadly Premonition reminded me of a Dreamcast game with its graphics and whatnot, but I wouldn't say that Shenmue is similar to it in any other way. It's definitely not a weird game like Deadly Premonition.
Shenmue 3 from day one looked like a Diablo 3 situation.
With what Yu Suzuki said (that we had to use our imagination to guess the other platforms for the game when asked for an xbone version) and this I'm sure it's coming even if at a later date.
At a guess, probably not (see: Crazy Taxi). Re-licensing the brands would likely cost too much for what's a relatively low-budget project.
Well better play it safe and not set yourself up for disappointment.
That meeting with mustve had something to do with this. Doesnt MS hold the license to Shenmue 2 in the west? Not sure if that means anything tbh.
Don't judge it just yet. The trailer made it clear it was WIP footage. If it's an actual port and not emulated, then it's quite a feat already they've got it running on modern hardware.
Doesn't look like it. TIMEX watch appears to be gone.
I'm surprised. Glad it's happening. I hope it's a good port and I'm curious what the new controls will bring. It definitely feels a little janky (1 for sure) so this new one could help.
Also wondering if the liscened stuff stays in or is overwritte/removed.
And of course, I hope this is well received. Man, I would not be opposed to Shenmue and Yakuza eventually converging with an older Ryo down the road.

Hmm okay, though it's cool for the fans. Not sure if I will get it or not.
Sega is licensing the IP to Yu Sukui and is probably going to take a cut of the profit as well.

No, or at least not in any appreciable way towards development. They're a marketing partner. Even Shibuya Productions has more money in Shenmue III than Sony, apparently.
It better have options! I don't want that dirty eng dub or overdone bloom.
I still have my Shenmue games, just pulled them out the other day to test a VGA connector I recently got (actually had the timex watch too but threw it away when I was young and stupid, they sell for crazy money nowdays).
I'll just leave this here. Huber hopped onto twitch after the Sega announcement stream. So his emotions were running hot!
As someone who never had the opportunity to play the Shenmue games, but do enjoy the Yakuza games, I often see the latter described as spiritual successors. But, of course, by now Yakuza has blown way past Shenmue in terms of graphics and fluidity in gameplay. I plan to pick these up because, if nothing else, the settings seem interesting. I'm definitely curious about the double time travel of playing a remaster of an early 2000s game that's set in the late 80s. But, coming from Yakuza, what should I expect? What, if anything, is better about Shenmue at this point?
