Shenmue I & II Releases on the 20th August. $29.99 PC/PS4/XBO
- Thread starter Kida
- Start date
Day One on Xbox, the platform where it all began ( for me ) years and years ago. Can not wait for this trip back in time!
Shenmue 1 has more attention to detail, like all NPCs having their own character and schedule, a calendar and uses combat sparsely. Yakuza is more of an action game, with street fights on every corner. I wouldn't really compare them but on superficial level.
Huh, odd that there are two threads.
Never-the-less:

Also on the Australian PSN.
$47.95 but has a 10% PS+ discount so $43.15. 21 August 2018 (which means 20th August for everyone else if they want a 'same day' release).
I still own these games, gonna wait for half that price on PC when the textures mods start rolling out..
Is the audio supposed to be cleaned up/remastered/imported from the source audio? Or is it more or less going to be as muffled as the original releases?
It's also on the French PlayStation Store: https://store.playstation.com/fr-fr...s-vos-achats:null:STORE-MSF75508-GAMESUNDER15
Gonna play it on the first day!*
*...after finishing Kiwami 2. :x Will buy it at launch to show my love for the Shenmue fans, though.

We don't know yet. Steam DL is supposed to be 30GB though, so I'm guessing HQ audio is in.
Where are you seeing that quote? Can't find it on either the Xbox Store listing or Steam.
EDIT: NVM, found it on the PS listings. Sounds like a mistake, or some boilerplate text made it onto the listing.

Nice. Hopefully somebody can show what the preorder theme looks like.
Any update on the Retrobit releasing those Dreamcast controllers? Would be perfect for a play through.
The game is literally listed on both consoles' own store pages with an exact date. There's no denying that's the release date now.
That may be true, but the whole product is kind of crummy, from the barebones features to the multiplayer. However, I'd sooner pin that on SEGA than d3t.
Yes, on PS4 and XBO.
More in reference to some wording on the PS listings that isn't present on the Xbox/Steam stores. I know you can't put the cat back in the bag with the release date.
Ultimately D3T are work-for-hire, and SEGA do have a habit of treating their 16-bit catalogue like money for old rope, so I guess so.
I'm afraid to replay these today. Looking at a couple of videos the seem to have aged quite badly.
The one saving grace must be the aweful voice acting though. That will always be entertaining to sit through. :)

Yep. August 20th at 9:00 PM sounds like a West Coast situation. It sometimes releases there three hours early when the East Coast crosses over into the new day right?
Plus the fluctuating prices are because of different regions. $30 USD and $48 AUD, when converted, is almost the same ($48 AUD is roughly $33 USD).
The date and costs seem to be locked in, but whoever these people are seem to be staying on the side of caution.
As someone who loves Yakuza and Shenmue a bit too much (hehe), it's kinda cool and bad that they release back-to-back (Kiwami 2 comes out a week after the Shenmue HD collection).That being said: I can't wait to finally look for sailors again. It's been so long since the last time I played through Shenmue 1 and 2.
Really looking forward to this. Especially finally getting to play 1 with Japanese VO. I know these games have some fundamental issues (though I'm not sure if they're planning to clean up some mechanics?) but they really hold a special place in my memory that I don't mind reliving, regardless of faults.
Wait, what's this?? :O
Edit: Nevermind, did a quick google search. I would down for a playthough with these!

Now I kinda hope SEGA have more up their sleeve than a release date because they didn't even get a chance to reveal it...extra features or something...I'm not holding my breath though. The storefront descriptions don't mention any new info.
I'm really excited to see how first timers react to these games, can't wait to play through them again.
Really sega? The week before Kiwami 2? Are you kidding me?
I'll get both but it will be hard to have time for both.
