Posted April 15, 2018 So there are still more details to come, I wonder if the save function which carries data between the first and second games will be present? This feature was present on the Dreamcast originals but obviously not on the Xbox origginal re-release, so it would be nice to see it reinstated. What would be even nicer is if there is some kind of data carried over between these remasters and Shenmue III as well, now that really would be something.

Posted April 16, 2018 There were some conflicting reports going around regarding the time skip feature being present in both Shenmue I and Shenmue II in the HD collection (it was present in the original version of the latter, but not the former), but VG247 have now cleared this up; in a brief statement, a SEGA spokesperson revealed to them that they’ve “tried to stay as close to the original feature sets in each game as possible, so Shenmue I will not have the time skip feature”. Shenmue II will retain this feature in the HD collection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shenmue II will retain this feature in the HD collection. I'm a little disappointed by that to be honest. I appreciate that they want these games to feel as close to how they felt back in 1999/2002 but little things like being able to skip time in Shenmue 2 was a nice QoL feature that really should have been in Shenmue 1. I'm surprised it isn't an option they would allow you to turn on or off in the settings or something. Look's like we really will have to wait around a whole day for our plane ticket again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, when I saw you’d linked to something to do with the plane ticket I just knew it’d be the GB endurance run and Vinny’s anger. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 17, 2018 Had this come out for the Switch, it would've been a day one purchase. I might get the Steam version if there'll be an active modding community. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Adam Koralik has revealed a few more tidbits about Shenmue I & II: • there will not be a collector’s edition of the game. • if you purchase a physical copy of either the PS4 or XBO version of the game in North America or Europe (and potentially in Australia), the game will come bundled with a poster. • interestingly (but also somewhat unsurprisingly), Japan is only getting the PS4 release of the game. He also revealed that he knows what the planned release date for the collection is, but, for obvious reasons, cannot share that information at this time.

Posted April 24, 2018 He's got quite a range of motion in his hips, but a very flat butt. That's my review of Shenmue I. My local CEX has both of the originals on Dreamcast for sale and I can't remember the exact price but I think it would cost you about £85 to get them. Think I'll just get it on PS4 instead. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2018 Looks fantastic, glad to see Ryo's flat butt is intact in the remaster. It's been a long time since I played the first one, can't wait to get back to Dobuita and fall in love with Nozomi all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2018 Man, that means we will have Shenmue I & II, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Dragon Quest XI and Spider-Man all in the space of a couple of weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah gonna be a busy time. I might get the first game finished before Kiwami 2 comes out but after that Yakuza and Spider-Man take priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Happenstance said: God I'm really in the mood to play Shenmue again at the moment. I haven't played Shenmue since it's release back in 2000. I can't wait to see how its aged. It's just a shame it releases the same week as Yakuza Kiwami 2. I'll be picking up and playing that first and then after that is done it will be time for Shenmue. Doing it this way will give me some insight on just how good the remaster/port is. One of my mates brothers absolutely loves the games and didn't even realise that this was coming out. Needless to say he was ecstatic to find out that they are here very soon and he'll be there day 1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
