“Shenmue HD is real"

An HD port of Shenmue is indeed heading to XBLA and PSN, and development on the title has been “finished for well over a year”, according to an industry source speaking to GamerZines. Our source, who wishes to remain anonymous but does have ties to SEGA, told us that “Shenmue HD is real [and has been] finished for well over a year.
“As is Shenmue II HD”.
So, if true, why has SEGA held off on releasing them?

According to our insider, SEGA chose to sit on their release until it had a clearer picture of the future for the Shenmue franchise, namely, whether or not Shenmue III would ever see the light of day.
SEGA teased earlier this week that it “may be working on” an HD port of Shenmue.

An XBLA release has been rumoured since April 2010 when the game allegedly turned up on a secret developer test network.

Is it April 1st already?

Riiight, so Sega went and burned even more money revamping the textures to make it HD rather than upscalled, despite the fact there is ZERO chance today's angry birds-infused morons will appreciate the game.

The same Sega(mmy) that was too cheapass to pay royalties for Crazy Taxi, despite that game being an order of magnitude more popular than Shenmue was, or that couldnt even make a 16:9 version of Sonic Adventure for XBLA.

Yeah sure.

I've always wondered if any dev every did this. My bet is that SEGA didn't have the spare cash to do this unless it was only a barebones "HD" conversion.

I like Angry Birds, Lol. There are many gamers out there who can do both. Morons today were morons yesterday too, only that they played moronic FPS crap rather than Angry Birds back in 2000, but they already took an unappreciative dump on Shenmue just as they do today.

TRUE GAMERS will buy Shenmue HD. If Sega Marketed the reissues right (like they Market anything these days) they could remind the Main stream that Assassin's Creed and GTA III on ward would not exist had it not been for Shenmue.

Which is true The Tree game set the mold for all Sandbox games.

Has any of Sega's HD upgrades resulted in them re-opening the franchise?
