Edit - misread the question.
AlI could find was this.
Michael Huber. Former Game trailers (part of the big reaction to the Sony e3 press conference when Shenmue 3 Kickstarter was announced) and now part of Easy Allies. He's a big and vocal Shenmue fan, and a very passionate person in general
Yeah, if the first act of Yakuza 3 was a highlight for you, you're likely to enjoy Shenmue.
It will have English and Japanese dubs, but no confirmation yet that they will both be available in all regions.
I remember playing the second game and was annoyed by the QTEs. That's the only memory I had of it. And the clunky "side job" quests too aka move boxes.
Shenmue I may not have aged as well as Shenmue II (the superior game imo), I would definitely suggest you play Shenmue 2 even if you have not touch the series before.
Yes, definitely. Shenmue 1 is pretty rough around the edges. Shenmue 2 a polished gem compared to Shenmue I.
Yeah I'm wondering if this will be a case of "don't meet your heroes" so to speak.
Yes, you absolutely should give it at least a try.
It's by far the "better" game, with a lot of QoL improvements, a way faster pacing, much bigger and varied locations, a lot more of action, new characters and a more exciting and epic story.
Er, maybe I can clarify this. English and Japanese dubs are happening, but the last word on if dual audio will be included was "if the budget allows".
This was before Deep Silver joined to publish/add to development funds, though. So it could happen.
Sweet, don't really know anything about the games but have always been interested in giving them a go. Wishlisted on Steam!
I'm never going to get why people aren't down with that first act. It's fantastic. The feeling of having to walk into town from the beach, getting involved in small town business... it's really good, a transporting experience. It makes the Kamurocho parts better because you get more of a sense of the furious pace of the neighborhood once you're outside of it for a minute.
Here's hoping the same is kind of true between Shenmue I and II. The differences between small town Japan and Hong Kong ought to be massive.
I... don't get this sequence of events.
Yes. II lives up to the ideals of what the game is meant to be, which is understandable considering Shenmue was originally both games as one; until SEGA panicked about needing a killer app and told Yu to split the game. Shenmue is really only the prologue chapter and would have "opened up" if the game proceeded as planned with the rest taking place in Hong Kong.
II builds on literally every aspect of the original and comes out undeniably the superior game; though you'll find people who prefer the intimacy of the first.
Can't wait to live through these finally I get to play 2. Is there a release window?
I just woke up I'm not sure if this is real or not right now.

Finally. Just so happy we're finally getting it. This years playthrough won't be on the Dreamcast. Kinda emotional right now.
I love that Yakuza 3 first act so much, i can't stand people shitting on it for it's lack of action. You're definitely going to be a Shenmue 1 bro!
Shenmue 2 is more like a classic good game for normal people, lol.
Yyyyyyeeeeessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooooo!!!!!
I have both sitting in my room but an HD version is so welcome. Perfect way to get ready for shenmue 3. What a year.
And give me that damn mini now!

DOesnt seem like any work was done on Shenmue outside of the resolution going widescreen and HD resolution. That may or may not be a good thing considering how rabid the fans are. May get pissed off for 'touching' it.
Sometime between April 14th, 2018 - Dec 31st, 2018.
That's a pretty good release window from what we had previously thinking it was buried.
I'm guessing summer.
New controls with the ability to play it with classic controls. More new stuff according to one of the guys they retweeted. UI Changes etc.
I'm guessing that'll happen the day they decided to put mainline SMT titles on other platforms? It's an Atlus thing. Seems like they're never going to put the same title on both a Sony and a Nintendo system at the same time.
Crash was more of a remake, this is an HD port with modern controls etc.
wait is shenmue 3 going to be on xbox? I could have swore it wasnt. Or was it a goal on kickstarter?
I'm intrigued. Never played these games before.
Didn't own a Dreamcast and the second game fly under the radar when I was a teenager with an Xbox.

heh i'll take it but only jap for me, i've heard the english voice actor and oh boy
Trailer clearly states WIP footage. Let's see how it goes.
I'm convinced they're not done with the visuals yet, seeing how II looks like an amalgam of the Dreamcast and Xbox versions of II.
Crash was basically a remake.
Sony has the marketing deal. III is being made independently of SEGA, so whatever SEGA does with HD is their business.
Finally I'll be able to transfer my capsule toys from Shenmue to Shenmue II! I dream about it for 15 years!
Ok people, look if you weren't playing this in 2000 you will probably never understand what this game was like. It had the most mind blowing graphics ever, never seen a world so detailed, hell I think most games still don't reach the level of detail these games have. It was like being in a real living world in a time where experiences like that were still new. Plus it's a badass martial artist simulator who lives his life, goes to work but when he has to kick ass he is all those awesome movie action stars rolled into one.
It's weird as hell. It's slow, it can be boring. Some of the best stuff is just going to an arcade and playing other sega games. And who cares I love it, they don't make weird shit like this anymore.
