[santanu18]

Shenmue 1 & 2 (Steam) is $21.59 on Fanatical w/ code RED10

Might be a coupon glitch since RED10 doesn't usually apply to preorders

 

Cheapest atm. It comes to Rs 1,547.14

Which version of Shenmue II did we port?

For technical reasons we started with the Xbox source code and data. This has the advantage of some additional features missing from the Dreamcast version:

Snapshots system

Filters

Texture mip-maps to improve anti-aliasing

As some community members will know, the Xbox does have some graphical differences to the DC version which will also be present in our version.

 

What features have we added?

As well as the herculean effort of porting the code to the new platforms, there is a huge number of things we have added:

Choice of Japanese or English speech in both games

Saves can be carried over from Shenmue into Shenmue II on all platforms

Saving anywhere in both games

HD resolution rendering

Updated UI

New post processing effects for both games

Full controller support and configurable mouse and keyboard for PC users

Full Achievement support for both games on all platforms

 

What does Modern control scheme mean?

Modern control scheme means we have enabled use of the analogue stick instead of the D-Pad for movement of Ryo, as well as adding full mouse and keyboard support for PC users.

 

Will the games run at 60Hz?

Throughout the engine, game code and scripts there are hard coded assumptions about a fixed 30Hz frame update rate, so the game needs to run at 30Hz.

 

Is the game 4:3 or widescreen?

Gameplay where the player can control the camera is 16:9.

Cutscenes are letterboxed in their original formats.

 

Can the emulated arcade games be played?

We are pleased to announce that all the arcade games in the original are fully playable in the new release!

 

Who do we have to thank for this incredible work?

The amazing team at d3t.

lol i recently bought shenmue 3. Not able to find shenmue 3 thread so thought of posting here. I always wanted to play it but didn't want to pay full price so picked this game for 400rs on PSN. I played this game for 3-4hours. I donot quite understand what exactly to do in this game. all I do i just walk , walk and walk and then knock doors and ask people for help. The fighting/combat style is bit weird to me. Will take time to get used to it. Has anyone played Shenmue 3? Is this game good? What exactly is this game famous for? this is my first shenmue game so don't know about this game.  Does this game becomes interesting or it's just very slow pace? I already have quite backlog of games to play cp2077, DL2, HFW and now this.

Afaik you need to play Shenmue 1 and 2 to be invested in the story for 3. Maybe do a youtube movie run if you dont want to play them. 

I too bought it on sale, and am planning to pick up after watching the youtube movies.

[GameAnalyzer]

Yeah , I don;t have Shenmue 1 & 2 neither interested in buying it. Will probably watch story highlights on youtube. Thanks for the headsup.

Playing S3 without prior knowledge is like watching episode 5 from season 2 of any random tv show. It's also the weakest in terms of story because how the director originally wrote it years ago. Gameplay is also exactly like how it was in 2000 with you going from door to door for your next clue.
