Cannot wait to play these games again, especially Shenmue II.

I feel that a lot of post like this are from sour grapes posters who can't believe that, yes, there are people excited about this stuff that played it back in the day. I feel that the posters harping on about people being disappointed are the same types who say a game is unplayable unless it controls like every other game on the planet (i.e. mostly extremely young people).
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!! finally!!!!!!!!!!! i have more hype for this hd editions rather than shenmue 3.
Whew... Am I dreaming?
This game's gonna look awesome on my shelf!
Those are some great shots. I can still hear that guy Ryo's got in a armlock saying "whaaaaaa?" in that really annoying voice of his lol.Figured I'd dump a few of my emulated DEMUL screens of the first game in here. Honestly, a resolution bump does a whole lot for the game's looks. This was at 3X internal resolution:
Haha oh God, don't remind me of this. XD
I think I get the gist of what you mean.
Before the Kickstarter launched Yu Suzuki did try and find a way to conclude the story with III, but found it would skip too much and be unsatisfactory as a story, a continuation of what came before, and as a game. III was never advertised as the end, and right from the announcement it was billed as a continuation. It was the right thing to do, because nobody deserves a Xenogears Disk 2 situation after waiting 15 years.
Sweet!!! Here's hoping they do a panzer dragoon and crazy taxi collection next!
So many great IPs Sega has that need remastered.

This has been my dream for years! Skies of Arcadia remastered!
Yeah, Shenmue 1 was something special. Especially going in relatively blind.
No.
Game runs at 30, but with a 60 refresh rate. Not sure how but it's possible to do some frameskipping jiggery pokery to get it to a sorta ersatz 60, I think. I don't expect these remasters to be 60 unless they put in some serious legwork, because it's guaranteed these games were not made with that framerate in mind.
I hope they have less compressed audio recordings available, because the DC voice acting sounds like 32kbps mp3
anyway, great news, Shenmue 1 never left the DC, the emulator was fine, but this is better, games shouldn't stay locked to a single platform.
but I think it was kind of expected given the new game being made.

Remaster (Higher resolution, updated controls, dual language and possibly a lot more)
It seems as though only a handful of folks here are aware that this is a straight port. Hype is a hell of a drug.
Did a mockup of the PS4 box art next to the Dreamcast game:
Always a sight to behold. Never played these games in HD.
What an experience this is going to be!

Higher quality audio was used for Ryo's voice clips in the Sonic & All Stars games, plus Shenmue: The Movie.
I'm hopeful SEGA still has the original masters. They seem to have gotten their archiving processes in order by the time Shenmue was created, because a lot of that material (including the source code) have been made available to YSnet as they develop III. The only thing officially recognised as AWOL would be the Saturn Shenmue prototype.
That PS4 box art is beautiful.Did a mockup of the PS4 box art next to the Dreamcast game:

But it won't feel the same if all the characters don't sound like they can't control the volume of their voices.
Kinda. There are PAR codes and things like that to remove the framelimit. It breaks a lot of the game, though. That montage is basically specially selected scenes they got working.
Reminder that the funding campaign of Shenmue 3 is still going on.

Larger budget, better game. Plus you can preorder it and get exclusive goodies.

The game wasn't perfect and faced criticism for what perceived as dull gameplay that only picked up just as it started to reach a cliffhanger.
Huh??? Is there some event or conference happening right now? Or was this just a press release from Sega?
Sega Festival in Japan. They have Dremacast and mega drive museum at the moment.
I'm curious to see how basic the PC version might be. Not really sure what kind of options they could give us.
So, I watched GB play the first one and as stupid as it was I am intrigued about 2s story to see where it goes. I could see how it was amazing for it's time though. Didn't seem like anything else was like it then. This would have blown my mind but I didn't own a DC.

Finally. I knew it was coming after all that hype from E3 2015.
I've played Shenmue to death already, but I'll at least buy it for PC
