The only instance where it's actually good is that Out Run cabinet texture which is flipped on the DC. Everything else is either an error or a change with no improvement. Personally, I do mind clipping and no transparency on the Xbox a lot.
The changes are not as aesthetically pleasing and painstakingly detailed as the original texture work in the Dreamcast version. For example, the sign of Taizan Grocery consists of three glass sections and is transparent in the DC version. However, on the Xbox there's just one long metal plate instead because it was easier and quicker to slap something like that. God is in the detail, as the old saying goes.
And then 99% of the people playing(including Shenmue fans like myself who never noticed these differences) will run right by that sign and not give it a second look. I get it bothers you, but you gotta realize just because it bothers you, does not mean it isnt a minor detail.
I've been a Shenmue fan since the 1999 premiere. I've talked with two generations of Shenmue fans over almost 20 years. Many Shenmue fans actually care because these games are about details to begin with. The fact that the list was compiled proves that, too. Back in the day, the Xbox port received a lot of flack for being inferior.
Sorry, I don't know you, so I might be wrong, but I think that old DC's optical drive noise would make you go bonkers when playing Shenmue.
While we are throwing around who played Shenmue longer so have I. I also own US Shenmue, 2 Sonic and Sega all stars racing Ryo statues (that they only made 1000 of btw)etc... So don't try and play bigger fan with me and dont shove words down my mouth. I never once said it was wrong to bring up the list, if they can fix those things fine yay, if not, it is NOT going to ruin the game.
What kind of response is that? I referred to my personal experiences because you said that Shenmue fans don't care. Well, we must know different Shenmue fans. I don't see how your ownership of Shenmue merchandise has anything to do with this discussion.
I said including shenmue fans like myself, not all shenmue fans. Once again stop claiming I said things I didn't. You cannot blanket statement that for every fan ALl im saying is there is a a section of the fanbase that doesnt get obsessed with a minor texture difference. Also if merchandise doesn't have anything to do with it than neither does being a fan since 1999.
Being a fan since 1999 means that I've known two generations of Shenmue fans. From my experience, Shenmue fans such as yourself who don't care about the details are not a majority. That's what it has to do with it. Blanket statement when I directly said it's about my personal experiences? Come on.
Where did i say I dont care about details?
From what we know the poster will be included with the physical game in US and Europe, regardless of retailer, it's probably in the box. It is still undecided in Australia and Japan at this current time.
Here:
It's you who actually used a blanket statement, BTW. It's right there - "99% of the people". I merely pointed out that in my experience as a Shenmue fan since 1999, not "99% of the people" ignore those details. If that was true, the list never would have been compiled and discussed.
And I stand by it, 99% of people who play the ps4 version wont notice this(and this should be implied considering the topic we are in). I never said 99% of shenmue fans( just including fans like myself who enjoy the details of the game but just dont care if a texture is clipping or not). More than shenmue fans will be playing this tons of newcomers or people who played back in the day and gave up on a third ever coming out. Id rather have the game at all than not have it because of these small issues.
So I'm guessing they did a fairly decent job, then? Genuinely curious. It sounds like the Sega Mega Drive thing they did for the PC has bad sound emulation, but that seems to plague most Sega classic releases?
Thank you, this is all ive been trying to say. Im just so flipping happy I get to play Shenmue on a modern system. Some store sign isnt going to ruin my enjoyment of getting revenge on LanDI
I'm not sure they did the actual emulation of the games themselves. Taking a look at the gameography on their website, they have it listed as 2016 (the emulated games have been hitting Steam since 2010) and only accredit themselves for the hub/workshop support/other bits that came with the overhaul.
Yep, agreed.
Same. Usually I roll with Amazon, but ever since they killed the 20% off promotion for all pre-orders, I've been going with Best Buy for some of my pre-orders since I got GCU.
