    The remasters news soften the blow of this in a big way.

    Very quiet on the Shenmue 3 front though, a few screenshots would have nice today.

    Lan Di has been ducking us all for over a decade now. Another year won't change the whooping he has coming.

    Hmm, I got the email from Kickstarter telling me about the fangamer email, but didn't get the actual fangamer email.

    Same, they are probably sending the emails out in batches.

    21st of August confirmed as the release date of the rereleases.

    1080p using original Dreamcast and Xbox assets. Dual language options. Save file transfers from the first game to the second game but not to the third game.

    Widescreen gameplay but cutscenes will be in 4:3.

    I don't know a huge amount about Yakuza, but i've heard people say it's a similar idea (with the added crazy ****e). I suspect nostalgia will only get them so far, but hopefully they are still playable after so long.

    If you don't like QTE's though, don't bother with it. While Shenmue didn't invent them, it definitely used them more than any game i've ever played before.

    I purchased here on Voidu. Use code SCHOOLSOUT to get further 20% off. Came to just over €20 in total.

    Great to hear they got more backing.
    I know the scope of the game could never compare to shenmue 1 or 2 but I am hoping the game is the same just on a smaller scale.

    Shenmue 1 had one of the best atmospheres out there.

    Jesus H Christ, do people not want to see the game get finished at all? :pac:

    Sounds about right!
    It'll never get released unless they have a final version envisioned by now :)

    It is partly backed by Sony so it shall get released.
    I imagine this project is a massive task as on one hand this game will not have the same budget and team size as the first two games while on the other hand, it being a some what stripped down version of what we got in 1 and 2, cannot be too far removed too at the same time.

    Not to mention that Shenmue 1 and 2 are being remastered so it makes sense to capitalise on peoples nostalgia after playing them again allowing more to donate.

    I am just glad Shenmue 3 is in the works. They can take as long as they want. It's not like Duke Nukem Forever, a game which upon release was'nt the breast (yes, I put the extra "r" in there!) But the difference between either game is that Duke Nukem was being touted as a game that went through various and failed development cycless but seemingly "keeping in" the good parts from each iteration. Thus for us avid gamers of the Duke we thought we were getting a good solid game. Alas, sadly, that wasn't the case.

    What is the actual story as regards the projected release date right now?

    On another note I'm very excited for the Shenmue 1 + 2 remaster. Not too long now before we go looking for them "sailors" again. ;)

    "Sailors? What do you want with them?"
    "No reason. I just want to talk to them." :L

    Locations look great, the facial animation on the other hand still needs work.

    Edit: Youtube version is up.

    You know, unlike a lot of people I couldn't care less how it looks as long as it comes out and they can finish the story. I think people expect too much from what is a modestly funded product and not a triple A product. If it came out looking like the dreamcast games I'd be happy.

    1 and 2 are out today aren't they? Anybody picking them up? Loved 2 on the Dreamcast but not sure they'll hold up.

    Ars have a review of the package here. It kinda confirms my fears, but I'm still tempted :D

    New trailer released today at Magic Monaco:

    I think it looks great, modern but very similar to the original games.
