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



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.

There you go

It'll probably be just a shitty port/upscale anyway.

But I'd still buy it anyway >:|

If they can give Shenmue the same treatment they gave Daytona USA, I'll be a happy gamer. They still probably have all or most of the assets used for Shenmue, so it shouldn't be hard to make a good port. What would be even more awesome is if they included the Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles.

Anyway, it is only a rumor, so I wouldn't put too much thought into it. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I also saw that SEGA announced (officially) that they're releasing House of the Dead 4 on PSN. I don't think it mentioned anything about XBLA. I just hope they include support for Guncon 3.

Having the Japanese track still won't make the dialogue any less awkward or poorly written honestly imo.

The dialogue/voice acting are the only real flaws of Shenmue(in both games and in both languages,especially the second one). If they decide to finally make Part III they will either make it better, or keep it the same for nostalgia/consistency o.o

There's one thing they really need to do and that is make the controls a lot more fluid. I was recently playing Shenmue 2 on my Saturn and man, the controls are so stiff and clunky in this day and age. Still a fantastic game but the controls need to be brought up to date.

An upscale shenmue is possible, and after JSR Sega might throw 16:9 into the mix

But HD is a remake, you need new textures for EVERYTHING on the game, and maybe even models so its not all blocky

Not.Gonna.Happen, shenmue 3 has better odds than a remake of the first 2

Read this got shot down earlier which tbh I'm sitting on the fence about. Half of me wants them to see HD versions so everyone that didn't have a Dreamcast and couldn't track down a copy of Shenmue back in the day can play it. Whilst the other half just doesn't want it to happen due to them bodging most of the HD remakes so far. Apparently Jet Set Radio wont have all the tracks from the Dreamcast version which is going to be a real shame if true!
