Yeah it was to save memory on those loaded disks. I wonder if there's any way the animations could be extended. Would be ALOT of work though... I'd rather Sega just do it from the start lol
While I don't doubt it's something that Shenmue fans would be interested to do, I wonder if it would be possible for them to animate them with mods, or at least without access to the source code. It certainly would be a lot of work, but if it is possible, I don't doubt it'll eventually be worked on by the community.
How is that a solution at all? Freezing characters or disappearing characters, not really much of a difference...
But either way, it's gonna look awful in motion lol. But yeah I guess disappearing is slightly better than freezing...
Thank you! way cheaper then i expected. I wasthinking it would be 40-50$ per game.
It's not very often. I mentioned in a thread at Shenmue Dojo that if they don't want to update the cutscenes, an easier fix is just zooming the camera against the top so the left/right is the same as 4x3 but you lose a little on the top/bottom. If they did that they could just have an option, which it seems like they probably have based on in-game screens being available in both aspects. In the example scene that was presented a few pages back there's nothing close enough to the camera to negatively impacted by a temporary zoom. When TNG was remastered on Blu-Ray, I watched some episodes with zoom enabled on my TV just to omit the bars, and most of the time it wasn't even obvious that something was cropped out.
I expect issues with the DC hardware such as NPC pop-in, long load times and plummeting framerates will be fixed completely, if these are indeed direct ports with no emulation or wrapper.
Not seeing "Teleporting Tom" would be quite an experience. I hope they completely fix the pop in, loading times (this is a big one, with faster loading times the game would feel a lot smoother) and stable framerates. That alone would make this version a significant improvement.
I would prefer to have the entire game in the ratios it was created to be in. The only problem is in 2 letterbox 16:9 would mean huge black borders all around a tiny picture. I have no idea what they're going to do but ideally e will have options to accommodate all preferences.
The final question would be: Does balls and car wheels look oval in CRT TVs?Ellis your Demul screenshot is identical to the remaster screenshot in term of ratio:

You just don't get it right.
SEGA engineers knew their hardware, hence why the game was developped with black bars, so that once it was displayed on CRT, it wouldn't feature black bars. This is why the watch is oval, to be round once displayed. You truly believe they meant the watch to be oval ???
They meant it to be round, so they made it to be oval so that once it'd be displayed on a CRT TV, it'd become round.
You just lack the knowledge to know the difference between the internal image, which has black bars when DC process it and the output image, which is the final result and how the game has to look.
What? If Shenmue 2 cutscenes do indeed have black bars on top and bottom (I don't remember) then that means they can make the cutscenes 16:9 super easily becaude... they are already 16:9. Just remove the borders, done.
It was a thing on the old forum. A sign of never giving up hope for Shenmue III, or for the original games to be released on 360/PS3/Steam like Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure 2 were.
Theres not a chance that the PR at Sega would flaunt "a choice of modern controls" as a carry over of the analogue stick movement/camera system that was in Shenmue 2 almost 20 years ago. That would be very presuming of them, that the fans would be that accepting, and considering the eyes that have been in this for years, I would safely guess that isn't the case. I assumed thats exactly what they were showing with this segment of the reveal. Full 360 rotate in game.
People have been fighting for a Shenmue revival and re-releases for a decade and a half. It's pretty crazy when you think about it. I don't think we've seen anything quite like it in the gaming community before, not to this extent and length and ending with a successful result. It's due to the fans and Yu Suzuki really.
Like I said, I could be wrong. Free camera would be exciting but I want to keep my expectations in check. After all it's easy for them to place the camera in dramatic positions within the engine for screenshots, trailers etc.Theres not a chance that the PR at Sega would flaunt "a choice of modern controls" as a carry over of the analogue stick movement/camera system that was in Shenmue 2 almost 20 years ago.

Well that's promising... I think.
Yeah man it's really been a while :')
sure thing but it's a region based with day or night music rather than situational based on progress.
When you think about it, there was rotational camera control independent of the direction Ryo was moving in Shenmue 1 and 2 already, it just wasn't full 360 degrees. So maybe it's not too crazy that they could implement 360 degree rotation relatively easily. Personally I would be all for it and would use it, but I do feel there should be an option for the previous camera controls as well for those that prefer it.Theres not a chance that the PR at Sega would flaunt "a choice of modern controls" as a carry over of the analogue stick movement/camera system that was in Shenmue 2 almost 20 years ago.

Shenmue 3, will have modern day controls so it's also a good way to get players developing a consistent feel of Ryo through these two games. They will jump into the third and feel at home, at the very least in movement and control, despite the overhaul in graphics.
If you saw all the NPCs walking, you'd just have to sit there and wait which could take a long time. NPCs only seemed to pop out if there were stuck to you, not eachother. Either way it would be madness. I could be imagining it wrong, but it think it'd be pretty ridiculous to have a crowd of NPCs in front of you, only for you to walk into them and get stuck for a few seconds before they all disappear one by one. I think the Dreamcast version handled it better than that lmfao
Could you point me to any Shenmue 1+2 soundtracks that include those FREE themes? I remember those a lot better than the cutscene music.
I don't know of any specific soundtracks, you can tool around on youtube or better yet just play the game lol. But yeah youtube should have everything somewhere...
I'd imagine so... gonna be sad missing that pause button sample leads lol
